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,

If this isn’t a steaming turd I would be surprised.

48 Hours, the first Beverly Hills Cop and Trading Places were great (at least in period) but I’ve not seen a decent film with EM in it since (maybe Coming to America). I’m not including Shrek as was just voice and he wasn’t the star.

Another 48 Hours is OK and Bowfinger was good. Nothing decent in the last 20 years though.

I thought Dolemite Is My Name was decent tbf.

I love Bowfinger. 1999 I think it was? (without checking).
EM playing the paranoid dude and the nerd brother character. Really funny

Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together.

Yes, not heard it for years, but you mention it and it's playing in my head.

Provably won't be able to sleep now...😀

Haven't seen that (it's on Netflix though which I haven't got). I'll keep an eye open for it elsewhere.

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.

[Aunty Pasty]

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.

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.

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.

If Shrek had a star, it was Eddie Murphy!
