      It had a higher budget than Karate Kid, Gremlins, Splash, Romancing the Stone, Footloose, Revenge of the Nerds, 3 times higher than Police Academy or The Terminator. similar budget to Star Trek 3 or Conan the Destroyer. Only a handful of 1984 movies had a higher budget than Beverly Hills Cops. 15 millions might not seem like much these days but it was by no means a small budget movie.

    2 years before this, Eddie starred with Nick Nolte in 48 Hours, but I think this is the movie he's most known for. The soundtrack is terrific. And like a true 80s movie, it's rated R, but they never waste time with a cheap romance between Axel and Jinny Summers. They're just close friends. I appreciate a movie like this, with Eddie clearly playing a horny young guy, that doesn't get bogged down with a shoehorned romance that wouldn't have made sense for the characters or the plot. This was a movie initially made for Sylvester Stallone, but he wasn't comfortable with some of the humour, so they took the structure of the film and made Cobra for him, giving the role of Axel Foley to Eddie Murphy.

    The soundtrack to "Beverly Hills Cop" is absolutely fierce. The song in the beginning with the police chase scene was "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters (one of my favorite songs) and the song playing in the beginning of the film was "The Heat Is On" by the late Glen Frey from The Eagles. Then there is "Axel F" which is the instrumental theme that was played throughout the film. Eddie Murphy's supervisor Inspector Todd was played by Gil Hill who was a police officer in real life. I hope you guys watch the sequel "Beverly Hills Cop 2" from 1987 which is actually quite good.

    Eddie Murphy, Stallone and Schwarzenegger pretty much owned the 80's, it's primarily where all three made their names, other than Stallone who started a little earlier with Rocky. It's hard to go wrong with any of Murphy's 80's flicks, they're all good. Trading Places and BHC you've both now seen. Look into his other flicks from that decade, the guy was that good. Check out BHC part 2 when you get a chance, nearly as good as the first one. Fun reaction as always you two.

    Here is a fun fact about Beverly Hills Cop 🙂The lead role was meant for Sylvester Stallone but Eddie Murphy ended up getting it because Stallone wanted to change too many things in his rewrite of the film. Sylvester Stallone ended up making the rewrite into a movie called Cobra!

    I remember seeing this at the theater for the first time. The opening police chase is one of the best car/truck chase scenes in movie history, IMO. The scene in the car between Billy and Taggert about the red meat was improvised by the two actors during their screen test when they were trying to find the best duo. The thinking was that a partnership between cops is not much different than an old married couple.

    Eddie Murphy started his comedy on Long Island and did quite a few gigs the same time as Jerry Seinfeld (same clubs, same night) back in 1978. In 1982 he was hired to bring SNL back to life after they lost their original cast from the first 5-6 years. He also release comedy ALBUMS, called Delirious in 1982, Comedian in 1983, and RAW in 1988. He started in movies in 1982 and became the biggest box office male for the 80s. He had an incident with a transvestite prostitute in the early 90s and went away, came back as a kids movie actor.

    This movie followed Edde Murphy's debut in the movie 48 HOURS. You guys really need to look at that movie. His successful career was launched on Saturday Night Live a few years earlier and included a comedy concert film called DELIRIOUS.
    Sometimes, you guys are as funny as Eddie. Like when Asia starts fussing at BJ about something random. I did notice that BJ NEVER, NEVER, fussed at her. But that's the way love goes. Enjoy

    You've seen bearer's bonds before in "Die Hard." They're bank notes that anyone holding the paper can deposit, so they're kind of like a check (made out to "cash") or a money order. They're anonymous like cash - looking at them, you don't know who they are from and who they are being given to - and they can come in very high denominations, like $1000 or more per paper. I don't remember who first introduced the idea of bearer's bonds in crime shows, but it was probably in the late 70s. It was a thing for a while, and in real life it's still a thing. Obviously they used it here in "Beverly Hills Cop" (1984) before it was used again in "Die Hard" (1988).
    BTW, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is a classic western. You guys haven't seen it yet? 1969, won 4 Oscars and 22 awards total.

For an action comedy, that scene was very raw and realistic and really bothered me when I was younger. I was not expecting such an brutal death that was just so unflinching in it's execution. Honestly though, it really set the tone for Axel's motivation and it's such a great film. Great reaction!!

    Great reaction! One of my favorites from back in the day. Another unforgettable role by Murphy is in a shamefully underrated movie called Bowfinger (1999). Steve Martin plays an aging, never made it film director trying to scam his way into a major movie deal. And Eddie has a great dual role as two brothers: one is an over the top Action movie star, and the other is a nerdy, socially awkward nobody who isn’t close to his brother. Eddie is perfect and completely opposite in both roles. It’s a crazy story with a great cast that was largely neglected, as sometimes happens. It would make a great reaction.

When Paramount executives read the script, it was immediately rejected and Stallone turned his unproduced version into the 1986 thriller COBRA.
