- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- While Saturday Night Live, 48 Hrs and Trading Places made Eddie Murphy a star, it was 1984's Beverly Hills Cop that made him a household name. Street-wise Detroit cop Axel Foley is still considered by many to be his greatest role, and with a fourth film in the franchise, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley due out this summer, we're revisiting all three of his classic (and not so classic) Beverly Hills Cop films right here. So strap in because The Heat Is On!

I actually didn’t hate the 3rd one. The 4th one was better and it’s nowhere as good as the first 2, but I still liked it enough
I gotta soft spot for 3...the theme park stuff (exterior) was filmed here in the the bay area at (then Paramount's) Great America...plus i really like the orchestrated version of Axel F they used...the new NF film is better than 3, lol....and also has a fantastic score that uses the Axel F motif well.
That orchestrated Axel F didn't work for me. It felt like they were Disneyfying it which essentially they were with the park.
I liked three. It's a guilty pleasure
Im watching BH cop 2 right now
Such a rad flick
Axel F was awesome. 8.5/10.
No.
Lies
Not bad. What do you give Beverly Hills Cop II?
@@Victory-in-YAHUSHA 9.5
8.0 I enjoyed it!! It started a bit too slow but it was a good movie.
Axel F did exactly what Top Gun did and it's unfortunate it didn't get a theatrical release, too. Nobody was looking for Top Gun Maverick to be Oscar level. Just be a strong action movie with a lot of callbacks and nostalgia. Show respect to the characters that the fans love and play all the musical queues we remember. Both Top Gun Maverick and Beverly Hills Cop Axel F did that. I missed Lisa Eilbacher's Jenny, though.
Where bad sequels tend to be bogged down either just rehashing the previous film badly or worse, adding characters that don't fit, Axel F is kind of hit and miss there. Joseph Gordon Levitt works because he comes off like a slightly cooler and more smart-assed Judge Reinhold, but the manufactured drama between Axel and his daughter just felt forced. So when was she born exactly? Who is her mother? Based on her age, she would have been born around the time of BHC 3. But because they weren't planning anymore sequels, there's nothing in that movie that suggests he had a girl in his life at that time or even a fling. For me, it would have created even more drama, in a natural way, if Eddie had been so dedicated to his job in his own way that he didn't have kids.
Obviously this is a homage, so you don't want to get too melodramatic, but having Axel end up single and lonely with no kids might have been the better call. Or if you want to throw in a daughter, have Axel discover he has a daughter during the film. Having her there the way she is makes Axel look like a complete douchebag inconsistent with the character. If he discovers somehow that he has a daughter he never knew about but she still resents him for not being there would have made more sense. The scenes with Rosewood and Taggert are obviously great and they still have incredible chemistry, which contrasts with the daughter scenes where it's just cliched father daughter squabbles and you know they're going to make up.
Here's an idea. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character can be dating his daughter or engaged and he finds out somehow that way. Instead, we get all the "you were never there for me" tropes and cliches, and it bogs down an otherwise great homage. I have no problem with the actress or her performance. But her existence is forced rather than natural. I hate to quote another Val Kilmer movie, since I mentioned Top Gun, but it just raises too many questions, one the movie doesn't seem interested in or have time for. Otherwise, it does exactly what it sent out to do. Steven Berkoff is still the best villain of the series, but Kevin Bacon isn't completely out of place in this world.
I could nit pick about some of the writing choices, but the film is just a love letter to the original and on that basis, it succeeds like Top Gun Maverick does. But it deserved a theatrical release. Hell, BHC 3 got one.
Well done !
I think Tony Scott was an action expert and BHC2 deserves rewatching
I've watched every video on here for this franchise 😊
To have a such non-american to narrate this review is just amazing.
The heat is on
on the street
Axel F is almost as good as part 2. That's a HUGE compliment
That's a resl stretch. It was good. Definitely better than 3. Jerry being back was going to take care of the brand and lore remaining intact....but Tony Scott is Tony Scott.
@@arroberson8796 I hear ya. 2's a blast
@jtatum1112 it's the blueprint for the action-comedy sequel. Bigger, Faster, Louder.
Just rewatch BHC1 today like an hour before this Joblo. Still good. Timeless
Get the f*ck outta here!
Nooo I cannot!!!
We didn’t hear his laugh. He chuckled once, but that was it.
Honestly as much as 3 gets trashed, I still have a soft spot for it. I found the Theme Park setting and goofier comedy kinda charming.
Axel F was awesome too.
I agree with you. Three is a guilty pleasure, but I still enjoy it
I really enjoy watching Beverly Hills Cop 1-3 and the latest BH Axel F
Beverly Hills cop 4 was as good as the first two. It reinvigorated the franchise.
I enjoyed it quite a bit but I would have to disagree with you. Incredibly. It does not come close to the first one. It's good and it's enjoyable but there were a few things that were to be desired. I'd say it's as good as number two. Much better than number three and not as good as number one.
The Awesomeness Continues! 👊😎✊😎👍😎👌🍁
I liked Axel f. I don't think it quite reached the heights of the first one, but it was easily as good as two.
Beverly Hills Cop2 , in my opinion was the best.
The Beverly Hills Cop Franchise Rulez✊🏻!
I didn't know Eddie dropped that Vic Morrow line
That's cold
III didn't suck THAT bad
Oh it sucked but that's Extra extra
To answer the question in the video title--No, the heat has been off for 30 years.
Axel F was much better than I expected, a really nice surprise 😃👍
What's the funny and incomprehensible accent of the narrator?
Geordie English
@@bernierose719 thanks
Inspector Todd was just to awesome.
Axel's friend Mike is Sonny Red in Donnie Brasco
Harold Faltermeyer was not originally best known for Fletch and Top Gun…Beverly Hills Cop was released first in 1984, that arguably made his name, Fletch 85 then top gun 86.
No mention of the late, great Gilbert Gottfried in BHC 2?
4th installment rules! :D
Watched the new one the other night. I liked it a lot.
The fourth movie was missing foley, rosewood and taggart throughout they only showed them together in the fjn scene
Eddie's scenes from 2013's failed Beverly Hills Cop pilot are on UA-cam and he slipped right back into Axle then too. The scenes in that are not necessarily funny, but Eddie had charisma. Those 15 mins or so gave me hope for part 4.
It's controversial but I prefer Cop 3 over Cop 2. It's just a more fun movie than 2, I do miss Taggart though.
Cop 4 was pretty good and I would also say it was more enjoyable than 3 and 2.
The first Beverly Hills Cop is a classic. I haven't watched the sequel, but don't mind the third one as much even though it seems despised. I just can't get over the fact that Eddie Murphy doesn't feel like the same character he played in the first film. I know we all change with age, but he plays Foley in a different way where it doesn't feel as natural as the first film. I started watching the fourth film, but his character feels like if Bill Cosby was Axel Foley not because he's older, but he seems to play the role in a less serious and more hammy kind of way.
The first film he reminded me of a young hard nosed cop who could use his wits and humor to get out of a bad situation. In the sequels, he's just always humorous looking to be funny instead of being naturally funny. I'm not a die hard Beverly Hills Cop fan, but I do like the first film a lot and think Murphy is great in 48 hours and Coming to America. I just feel we don't see that Eddie Murphy anymore as if that side of Murphy has disappeared.
This is a strange analogy, but I feel Murphy and Martin Lawrence had similar paths. Each were very funny in their early careers, but when their hair changed, they became less funny and seemed completely different. Murphy lost the afro from BH1 to a fade, while Lawrence did the opposite. He had the fade, but later grew the afro that you can see in the first Bad Boys. I know it's a weird analogy, but the change affected their comedy performances imo. Murphy became too clean and Lawrence kind of became less energetic. He is completely different from the first Bad Boys to Bad Boy 2 which is the character he continues to be.
it is still good to know that 15 years later...Pluto Nash is Eddies worst and last for that very long run of fame..movie EVER!!
How about another movie face off? Beverly Hills Cop II vs Axel F.
So John Landis directed Murphy in 1993's Trading Places? Sure he did!
Bet you a dollar he did! 😊
It was 1983.
I think part 3 is very underrated. Yes it's the worst out of the now 4 movies, but l still find it enjoyable. BHC AF is a great return to form film though.
Is this the man.. who disarmed an unmarked unit.. with a banana?
I like part 3, I can acknowledge that’s it the weakest of the 4 movies but I still enjoy it
Eddie Murphy IS Axel Foley....the soundtrack of the first one is epic. Luckily, the right casting choice was finally made.
Edit I'm gonna have myself some of the Axel F classic track with in-ear Bluetooth phones.
I was disappointed by the cinematography (of all things) and editing in part 4. The vehicle action scenes never felt fast or dangerous even when people are flying off their vehicles. There's even a shot of Murphy making a casual, slow turn that looks like his car is sliding across the road. Other parts of the film look like they were shot for 16:9 and letterboxed in post to make the result seem more cinematic. Odd choices like digital zooms appear often and conversation shots are often chopped up to bits. I'd chalk all this up to a first time director and some cost cutting for Netflix. None of it breaks the movie, which is thankfully character-driven, and deserves something like a 6 or 7/10.
I noticed that slow turn scene to
Donkey’s callback to the Crows 🐦⬛ from Dumbo 😅
I love both Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2. 3, meh.
Well they’re all better than this cRaP
You know, let's get weird in this "way too late sequel" era. Austin Powers and Doctor Doolittle Save the World
i actually liked it more then Top Gun Maverick . Do not get me wrong Maverick was excellent but it lacked a little of the magic Top Gun had where as Axel F had the magic the first 2 Beverly Hills cops have .. It felt like meeting old friends you have not seen for years and you carry on from where you left off...It is a shame that it was not brought out in Theatres because this is what we need in theatres ...Good old fashion action without any of this woke shit that is killing movies . This kind of movie is how movies are suppose to be a escape from reality for a few hours once i enter a theatre i want to forget what is going on outside of those doors and disappear into a unreal world just for a tic ... HOLLWOOD its time to go back to sleep and dream again .....Thank You NETFLIX and Eddie for doing a fantastic job in making a real movie that is badly needed .......Now i just have to wait for the Blue Ray so i can add to my collection
They couldn't make these films today. They are not politically correct and not PG-13. The other thing would be filming. They would use CGI not great set peices on site. They would use 4k but then do shallow focus which renders 4k poinless with the blur effect. It would not feel gritty and real. Then the actors would exposition everything not allow the audience to figure it out themselves. Nothing has been good in movies in 15 years or so its sad.
Idk these have nothing on 48 hrs and the sequel if we are talking about movies never being made today.
It's so sad that you don't like some of the great movies that have come out in the last 15 years.
ugh…. taylor needs to narrate all the videos.
the heat stuck in the 80s
crazy frog was the answer
It's about time the failed TV pilot movie was released, just so we can pour scourn on that as well.
Would love to see a Beverly Hills Cop and Bad Boys crossover. Anyone else?
That would definitely be an awesome👏🏻😎🤩Idea, as long as it's the characters that we know & love & make it fun🤩with action comedy with humor & buddy chemistry.
👍👍👍🎥
No is the short answer.
And that is your opinion.
The real question is: where am I going to take your mom to dinner?
New movie was utterly boring and pandering. They just can't make them like they used to because you'd offend someone somehow.
I feel the same way didn't like it either....couldn't even give it a rating on Netflix lol
That's your opinion. Lots and lots of people enjoy this movie. It was actually quite good
I guess a decent amount of people are upset about Axel's character being smudged as a neglectful father to his daughter.
A theme that took up some time and space in the movie.
I thought it was the second best in the series myself.
Beverly Hills copy 3 was better than this.
Yeah I said it.
And you have a right to that opinion
First 2 great, last 2 absolute garbage.
Best BHC since the original. Will people under 40 care? Maybe not but I liked it
Lies
@@JestersDeadUK I'm lying about my taste in movies? OK. Part 2 and especially part 3 stink.
I didn't like it
They filtered in woke nonsense.
Who was this movie for?
I was there.
I didn't ask for any of this.
Beverly Hills Cop 2 came out Memorial Day Weekend. My mans date is wrong
Non woke movies are always ok
