By the early 1990s, Eddie Murphy had already appeared in several of his most enduringly beloved films, like Beverly Hills Cop and Coming to America, while Martin Lawrence had been working his way through the D.C. comedy scene and made a huge impression in his first film role, in Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing. But Boomerang was the real announcement of his talent, not just because he could hold his own opposite the more established Murphy, but with the rest of the all-star ensemble of Black talent, including Halle Berry, Eartha Kitt, David Alan Grier, Robin Gives, Grace Jones, and Chris Rock.
