In many other reviews 'Raw' has been slated with accusations of sexism and homophobia. This is what makes 'Raw' so funny and a touch above 'Delirious'. In today's politically correct world it is great to hear a comedian make jokes on... Full review

Meanwhile, Murphy's gay-baiting ''Delirious'' -- more raw than Eddie Murphy Raw , and more troubling -- remains AWOL from DVD. ... Full Review

So, the concert starts, and Eddie comes out and makes fun of people.
It starts out as pure Eddie Murphy egotism; attendees of the concert are asked about their favorite Eddie Murphy movie, and every single one of Eddie's films is mentioned - I half-expected one of the folks in front of the camera to say "All of these fine films are available for sale or rent".

Both concerts show Eddie as one of the most talented and original stand-up comedians ever.
The movie opens with a cute sequence with Eddie as a young boy, entertaining and eventually shocking his family with some decidedly nasty jokes.
