Review of Beverly Hills Cop (1984) by Steven1981 — 25 Mar 2020

Beverly Hills Cop is an action, comedy, crime thriller directed/made in 1984 by Martin Brest.... When a friend of Detroit cop Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is murdered and the badguys fade away without trace, Axel Foley investigates the murder and ends up in Beverly Hills I think.

.. Not sure if this film was filmed in Los Angeles area or California or somewhere else and it's a bit confusing the exact area it was filmed in which is rather dumb to be honest and all I know for 100% certain is it's in America.

... Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) teams up with two cops who were originally against him and thought he was some troublemaker and the cops in question are Detective Billy Rosewood played by actor Judge Reinhold and Sergeant Taggart played by John Ashton.

.... Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), Rosewood and Taggart take down the badguys at the end after Jenny Summers gets involved with the murder investigation and kidnapped. The end is full of shootouts, bullets flying around everywhere and Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) getting shot by Detecve Axel Foley and Ronny Cox who's another cop.

.... The action scenes are great and so is Axel Foley (Murphy) sticking banana's up the cops exhaust pipe and sending them coffee and doughnuts whilst keeping an eye on him in a car... Great humour, violence and action make Beverly Hills Cop a decent movie however the sequels were nowhere near as good especially the one directed by John Landis.
