John Landis directed Eddie Murphy in this movie, as well as Beverly Hills Cop III - Un piedipiatti a Beverly Hills III (1994) and Il principe cerca moglie (1988). The two were close friends as a result of all of this, though Landis resented that Murphy did not support him while he was still embroiled in the Ai confini della realtà (1983) movie manslaughter case against him. Landis wanted Murphy to testify as a character witness on his behalf, or at least show up in trial as a show of support, but he refused. Murphy said the following about the conflict with Landis in a recent Playboy interview: "As it turned out, John always resented that I hadn't gone to his "Twilight Zone" trial. I never knew that; I thought we were cool. But he'd been harboring it for a year. Every now and then, he would make little remarks, like, 'You didn't help me out; you don't realize how close I was to going to jail.' I never paid any mind." Murphy goes on to subtly indict Landis in the accident, or at least assign him some of the blame, in the interview: "I don't want to say who was guilty or who was innocent. But if you're directing a movie and two kids get their heads chopped off at twelve o'clock at night when there ain't supposed to be kids working, and you said, 'Action!' then you have some sort of responsibility. So my principles wouldn't let me go down there and sit in court. That's just the way I am."
