John Barry was originally hired to compose the score, but backed out of the project during production. Although Michel Colombier completed the score, a few cues by Barry remain in the film, and one, "Wisdom of the Ages" was released on the soundtrack LP.

I would lie if I said that this movie is good, it isn't. The plot is down the drain and so unlogical that it makes my head ache, but the movie does have some qualities. The actors are OK and the footage can't be complained at either and I must add that thanks to Eddie Murphy the movie is watchable and even funny.
I don't know how he does it but his zany jokes keeps hitting the right comedy-button - every time.
So the conclusion is that, in the end I must recommend you all to see it - if not for a brilliant movie but for Murphy's jokes.
