Fatal Beauty
If Eddie Murphy could get away with playing a cop, maybe Whoopi Goldberg could get away with it too. A big if, and a definite maybe-not. She wears funny clothes, makes funny cracks (or would-be funny: "You know, guys like you are the reason abortion's legal"), punches people in the face, shoots to kill, and in due course wipes out a ruthless drug ring. But there's nothing she can do to stop a supporting cast of deadly muggers, inasmuch as she herself's one of the worst offenders. With Sam Elliott, Ruben Blades, Brad Dourif, and John Ryan; directed by Tom Holland. 1987.
