Beverly Hills Cop (4): Axel F

[Leon R]

I have a good feeling about this one. Not sure why but the last time was Top Gun Maverick so fingers crossed.

Whats wrong with BHC2? (We’ll pretend BHC3 didn’t happen)

I preferred 3 to 2, except Taggart was missing from 3.

Yet another franchise resurrection that I suspect is going to be dogst.

Based on the trailer it looks like they've all spent the last 30 years eating.

Anyone else a big fan of Harold Faltermeyer's music? One of many great things about the original movie.

There's a particularly good and recent mix of Axel F right here. Enjoy,

I remember Axel F as the soundtrack of the summer in 1985. It was playing everywhere.

Loved the first film. As others have said, Eddie Murphy's first 3 films were brilliant (at the time). Since then it's been a mix of good and bad, with his supporting roles generally better than his starting roles.

The trailer looks good, pushing the right nostalgia buttons. But I don't expect it will capture the magic of the original.

...Mister Achmed Foley is here to see her... Achnell...? Achwell...

Funnily enough, my BIL bought the original Axel F LP from an old record shop at the weekend, only £2. Must say, i was little envious.

"Is that fking Foley in here!?"

Don't think Axel, it makes my dick itch

You damn right, wise ass! The mayor called the Chief, the Chief called the Deputy Chief, the Deputy Chief just chewed my ass out! You see I don't have any bit of it left, don't you?

Inspector Todd only acted in the BHC films. He played the angry boss so well.

First film I took my new girlfriend to see at the Enfield Odeon back in Spring 1985 in my (new) 1973 MGBGT.

A lifetime ago.

Not sure I fancy this though.

"She's no longer my girlfriend."
"Ah, dear. I wouldn't get too gloomy about it. Rumour has it she never stopped bonking Toby de Lisle in case you didn't work out."
"She is now my wife."

That actually looks pretty gosh darn good, and was that Luiz Guzman I saw there briefly? Love him.

I’m not including Shrek as was just voice and he wasn’t the star.

If Shrek had a star, it was Eddie Murphy!

[CaiosH]

New trailer make it look surprisingly good!

[Timbo_S2]

Well i'm quite excited anyway. Love Beverly Hills Cop - one of my go-to feel good films.

[ThingsBehindTheSun]

Would I go to the cinema to watch it? No way!

Will I be watching it on Netflix with a few drinks? Hell Yes!

[Scabutz]

I've watched the trailer a few times now and I have to say I'm excited, positively tumescent in fact. I think this is going to be really good.

I love the bit at the start when the dispatcher says "let me guess, Foley" and Jeffrey is walking past and leans in saying "did you say Foley". Plus the bit when Robin is going through Axels file and there is an obvious dig at BHC3 that's been edited. Of course adding Neutron Dance to the soundtrack is a great nod to the originals.

I hope I'm not being setup for a fall but I think this is going to be very good.

Must of missed that

[Terminator X]

Anything that takes us back to the 80's is good. Such a cool decade.

TX.

Might be seeing things but Axel says this isn't my first time in Beverly Hills and the cop days I know 84, 87, then 94. It the abruptly cuts to Axel who makes a face so wonder if a dig is made about the film. Which I watched again the other night. Its not as terrible as I thought but it's really not great.
