I didn't know until years later that Eddie Murphy was who they originally wanted. I'm glad Hudson got it, because I think Murphy would have been too much of a distraction, and he would have competed with Murray to be the most flamboyant character. The movie only works with one such character.

Also the Ernie Hudson character was intelligent. They cut it out of the movie but he was also supposed to be a Ph.D.

I never heard that. I knew the Bill Murray role was originally for Belushi.
