No, you had it right. The pilot was poorly written, not remotely funny and the studio dumped it. The Netflix movie is supposedly really good, but the release keeps getting pushed back.

@@jvoidhuey3088 Was just about to say the same thing. I thought this was a skit. That "son" is an absolutely awful actor, makes me appreciate how good the classic movies were.
Rumour has it this would have been Eddie Murphy's only one time cameo appearanc for the show. Murphy and Jackson have good chemistry, but had this show gone to be a series, it would have been cancelled after one season. You can't have Beverly Hills Cop without Eddie Murphy. FACTS!!!
You can't have Beverly Hills Cop without Eddie Murphy? In case you haven't noticed, they have been crapping out shows like this left and right. Fresh Prince without Will Smith, Ted without Mark Wahlberg, and the list goes on and on.
@@TonyAlberaTed isn’t a good comparison. Because that show made my sides hurt from how hilarious it was. And Mark Wahlberg doesn’t make the movie. Ted does. That’s why no matter what shit they’re trying to do with Pirates of The Caribbean I simply won’t watch if there’s no Johnny Depp. I agree with you on those other shows, though.
Yeah that's why I would have loved for it to just be a movie. I feel like it's hard for Eddie to commit to a full series with his schedule but he can do a movie

The absolute only reason they didn't pick this up was because Eddie Murphy refused to appear in any more episodes. They wanted him to appear "every now and then". Murphy said, "No!" This pilot was the highest performing pilot in 20 years, said CBS execs. Every time Eddie showed up, the test audiences would turn their dials up to 10. However, without Eddie, CBS feared no one would watch. They were right!
@@TheNameisPlissken1981 Got it! It makes sense. Brandon was cool in supporting roles at that time but,him carrying a show based on an Eddie Murpy classic series of films wasn't gonna work. No disrespect to him though.

Now, with streaming TV shows, it would be a good time to bring a beverly hills cop tv series back, especially with the fourth beverly hills cop film just coming out. Paramount plus would be a good place for it, because it could be as edgy and r rated as the films, which it couldn't be on mainstream television. Streaming service shows have a lot more freedom as far as how edgy a show can be in comparison to network tv. Also they can make episodes as long or as short as they want to. So, I'd love to see Eddie Murphy star in a beverly hills cop limited series on paramount plus, to bridge between the fourth and the now confirmed fifth film.
The 4th movie "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley", filmed recently for Netflix has Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Bronson Pinchot and Paul Reiser all reprising their roles. Ronnie Cox (Bogomil) originally agreed to return, but disliked the script so he backed out. Supposedly the plan is for a streaming date sometime in early '24.
@@Honduliocoolio This video had nothing to do with the 4th movie, whch was completed last year. Around 2013 a decision was made to transform BHC into a TV series.These decade-old clips are scenes from the pilot episode,shot before that whole idea was mercifully scrapped.
@@alucard624 I thought BHC 2 definitely suffered because Ronny Cox was committed to filming Robocop so Bogomil had little involvement. Nothing was going to save the 3rd one.
My review after watching the leaked pilot: it's rough but most pilots are. Good actors but some of the dialogue reeks of standard CBS procedural and not Beverly Hills Cop, it's insanely watered down. Brandon T. Jackson is good, shame he never blew up after Tropic Thunder but maybe this show would've done it? Pilot is carried by the nostalgia of Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley and it was awesome seeing Judge Reinhold as Billy Rosewood again, this time as the mayor! My personal favorite character in the series. Overall, kinda glad this didn't come out as I think BHC should be saved as a film
Yeah remember back in 2016 when they did rush hour as a TV show on CBS and that bombed but I agree this would've been a great show if Eddie Murphy was in some of the episodes along with Judge Reinhold in it that would have been awesome but I also want to see Beverly Hills Cop 4 later on this year
Regardless of whether this remains canon for the 4th movie or not, it still gives us a glimpse of Axel and Billy in the modern era w/social-media and Beyonce&Jay-Z being referenced here
@@HardestTargett got a feeling shes gonna have a white boyfriend thats on the force also and i think i heard its gonna be joseph gordon leavitt character lol!
@@JohnDoe-cd6ro The guy in the video is _not_ named Jessie T. Usher, who was the son of Shaft and who is A-Train in _The Boys._ Totally different guy named Brandon T. Jackson who was in _Tropic Thunder_ and possibly that _Big Momma House_ film. (I’ll have to check). So, no, you didn’t.
The new movie was GREAT! But Eddie is more in character in these scenes than the Axel F movie. I think personally anyways. This was 10 year ago mind you . I loved how the New movie still had and went for that 80s Vibe. Was very Nostalgic. 🎉❤😊😊😊
NEVER knew this footage EXISTED! Thank you for posting this! I actually thoroughly enjoyed this, something tells me these clips may be better than the new film coming out this year. We shall see. They waited too LONG to put this sequel out.
CBS didn't pick this up because they thought Eddie was gonna pop up in every episode. After they talked to him & he said he "ain't popping in shit," they didn't pick it up.
Not surprised this pilot didn’t go forward as a series. I’m sure between Eddie Murphy and Jerry Bruckheimer their salaries ate up about 90% of the budget.
So, let's talk about the jacket. Back when this was going to be a "thing" on TV, the iconic Lions letterman jacket was updated. there were three set photos: one w/ someone in the wardrobe dept. holding the jacket to be photographed from the back; one w/ Eddie wearing one; and one w/ Brandon wearing one over a hoodie. This exact jacket was sold only at a screening of BHC 2 by NFL & G-III. They were cut big, so the smallest size was a medium, the one size that sold out almost immediately. I tracked one down a month or so after release, so happy to have a screen accurate one. As we all know, that didn't happen. I still love the jacket and hang it up right next to my self made 80% accurate one.
I like the chemistry between Brandon and Eddie, but yeah, Beverly Hills Cop is an R-rated movie franchise, not a TV show. I would definitely see the two of them together in a movie, though.
I don’t hate Brandon Jackson but Im honestly glad this never got picked up? I prefer Jane as Axels kid over this. I never dug the idea of a carbon copy of Axel. I like the difference between Axel as a cop and Jane as a lawyer.
Honestly this is surprising a lot bette than i thought it would be. I csn understand why it didn't get picked up. But this is much better than some of the other shows that are Sequel/remakes.
@RapRants lethal weapon was a procedural pilot also ... the difference is that it was actually good... even training day the series which was on CBS it was 100 times better 😂😂😂😂cringy comedy just like that rush hour series 🗑
The full episode finally "leaked" a few months ago. I saw it a few weeks ago right after I watched this video. I thought it was pretty solid. Even if Eddie was never gonna be in all episodes, the chemistry and dynamic was there between Brandon T Jackson and the other 2 cops who were his Billy and Taggart so it definitely would have been a good enough buddy cop TV show.
@@megafan2000 the whole pilot is on UA-cam now. Was glad to see it, finally after chasing down set photos and snippets! Passing of the jacket was boss; good luck getting three days a year to wear it in So. Cal.
@@allanbard6048 nice that it's on UA-cam but I do wonder if Paramount eventually takes it down. I saw it on internet archive, so it was clean without the French subtitles on it.
Having watched this before the movies, while this was only a pilot I could where the potential was. If I had to rank this personally I'd tie this with three.
Damn this isn't fair to Eddie his iconic MOVIE character slumming it in a TV pilot..(be like seeing Tom Cruise grinning his way through a failed 00s Top Gun tv pilot with son of Maverick) thankfully Ackwell is coming back to the big screen where he belongs in a proper BHC IV from Jerry Bruckheimer
Eddie Murphy's performance as Axel F for just nostalgia sake is probably the only redeeming factor here. I wouldn't call Murphy's appearance noteworthy. His performance is dead flat. Like he couldn't give a shit.
They apparently disregarded him having a son for the 4th film, the timelines for him having a son and daughter and being single in the first three films, and divorced in the last film, do not work and are inconsistent.
The script was written by former Nash Bridges writer and creator of The Shield Shawn Ryan. Usually, he is an excellent tv scribe, but he missed the boat with this one. I read the script and found it rather pedestrian. Much like the lead who has zero charisma and absolutely no chemistry with Murphy. They feel like strangers not father and son. A show like this needs to be built around a persona and this guy doesn't have one!
So I’m guessing this is where the photos I saw comes from. I remember hearing something about a new Beverly Hills Cop project but nothing more about it. Always thought the new movie was this and I see it’s totally different.
I mean, if Eddie Murphy would've committed to more appearances and he had more scenes with Rosewood, it could've worked short-term. Definitely not more than one season, if that.
Brandon t Jackson is lucky as hell, dude got to work with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence in two different projects in his career
Don’t forget Kirk Lazarus
He's connected
He wasn't able to crossover to the mainstream.

Looking like a good shift. I would totally watch It. Eddie Murphy and judge Reynolds in it. Cameo Roles
I’m just burning doing the neutron dance
This looks better than the Netflix film.
Thank god this wasn't picked up, to PG for beverly hills cop
I wonder if that's the reason why Axel doesn't have his old Lions jacket in the new movie.
Finally! I thought I would never see that!
Oh I didn't know they actually shot any footage. I remember reading rumors a long time ago.
Brandon t jackson was everywhere for about 5 years then disappeared
This looked good. Sad it didnt get picked up
This needs to be made into a movie that goes to theaters
They just release the trailer for the 4th film. Looks very good
They apparently disregarded him having a son for the 4th film, the timelines for him having a son and daughter and being single in the first three films, and divorced in the last film, do not work and are inconsistent.
Thank the lord this didn’t go public. Absolute disgrace to the movies
And everybody thinks it's their opinion.That's the most important god bless your little heart
@rieriec.36 it's trash...Go Fahkurself and Be Somebody else yammering pretentious nonsense
@@stefjames95 3 and 4 are a disgrace to the first 2. This show would not have been any worse.
I don’t remember this coming out
It's just the pilot that never went to series. It was shot in 2013 but didn't get "released" until just last year.
Oh wow this randomly came up in my feed.
I always new it existed but didn't realise it got leaked.
The script was written by former Nash Bridges writer and creator of The Shield Shawn Ryan. Usually, he is an excellent tv scribe, but he missed the boat with this one. I read the script and found it rather pedestrian. Much like the lead who has zero charisma and absolutely no chemistry with Murphy. They feel like strangers not father and son. A show like this needs to be built around a persona and this guy doesn't have one!
Why wasn’t his son in the third one?
That was better than I figured it would be.
So I’m guessing this is where the photos I saw comes from. I remember hearing something about a new Beverly Hills Cop project but nothing more about it. Always thought the new movie was this and I see it’s totally different.
I mean, if Eddie Murphy would've committed to more appearances and he had more scenes with Rosewood, it could've worked short-term. Definitely not more than one season, if that.
one thing about the new movie, how come his son isn't in it🤔 his daughter is
He got aborted wit the series
I wish this pilot had been greenlit.Cuz this would of made great show.
After watching this a second time, it also could have been part 4.
This was actually good
"He's already rapping in Spanish" lol
