Summary: Axel Folly!
Review: Beverly Hills Cop is a great great movie and the start to one of my favorite series. What really makes me like this movie is the way Axel Folly (Eddie Murphy)scams and talks his way into getting what he wants. For example: he goes into a warehouse and a security guard finds him. Axel confronts him and then tells him that he is part of the FBI or, something like that, and asks to see the supervisor. He then tricks the security guard and supervisor into letting him see the files of all the mail and merchindise in the warehouse. Also, Eddie Murphy did such a great way of acting and brings a real feel to the character he plays. If you havent seen this movie well thats just sad because this is an 80's classic! The jokes and catch phrases in this movie never get old and the action is just the same. Man do I love this series!

Summary: East force meets the West force
Review: This movie is a slick 80's film about a cop from a rough town vacationing in sunny Beverly Hills, but he's really there to find the truth about his friends death that he witnessed. Eddie Murphy had good stance and puts a good pace in the film and doesn't let your eyes droop from any of his actions to find out some clues to the death of his friend. This movie is a must have for any fan of the comedic/crime blend.

Summary: Likeable
Review: I liked this film. I didn't laugh as hard as I expected considering that Eddie Murphy was the leading character, but I can deal with that. This is probably the most serious role I have seen Eddie Murphy in. That doesn't mean that I didn't laugh. There was still quite a bit of comic releif, just not what I expected.

Summary: One of the funniest movies ever!
Review: This is one of the best Eddie Murphy movies ever! Besides 48 Hours, Coming to America, Metro and Trading Places, this one was a good movie and I liked it so much that I give a 10 or an A+! The first one achieved great boxoffice sucess! And the sequel didn't entertain me that much (a little bit) and definelty the third one made me turn that one off after 15 minutes, THAT one wasn't funny. This one was!

Summary: Well 'Cuz....
Review: This is truly a great film. I was laughing almost the entire time that I was watching this film. It's about a tough Detriot cop whose friend was killed in Detriot by thugs from a prefessional crime ring. Foley (the cop) wanting to find out who killed his friend and why they did it, asks his boss to help with the case, only to be told to stay out of it. Foley decides to take a "vacation" to Beverly Hills (where his friend was previously working) and try and find out what happened. This movie is a classic action-comedy movie that I recommened to anyone.

Summary: The one that started it all!
Review: Back before Beverly Hills Cop, you had films like Dirty Harry and In the Heat of the Night that showcased cops as a serious, sometimes tortured man hell bent on achieving their goal. But with this film, we get a wisecracking, girl loving cop that wheels and deals and occassionally breaks the law to achieve his goal. Before production began, Paramount wanted Sylvester Stallone to play the role of Axel Corretti (which he changed from Axel Foley and then changed back after his departure from the project), but his demands were big-budgeted and producers Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson passed him on. They went to their first choice: Eddie Murphy.Hot off the trails of Trading Spaces and 48 Hrs., here is where he achieved the height of his great acting and successful career. He is downright hilarious here. He makes Daniel Petrie, Jr.'s script ten times better than it already is. The supporting cast is also brilliantly cast: Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Lisa Eilbacher, Steven Berkoff, Ronny Cox, and who can forget Bronson Pinchot as Serge, the gay art gallery worker that exchanges some of the funniest lines ever with Murphy? The musical/song score by Harold Faltermeyer is one of the best in the composer's rather short career. His "Axel F" theme is by far one of the catchiest songs ever in our pop culture. It's a shame that his score for Beverly Hills Cop II didn't quite achieve this one's greatness and even sadder that he passed up Beverly Hills Cop III. Martin Brest hit the jackpot in directing this feature. Ironically, he originally declined to direct but eventually did due to Bruckheimer's insistence. Brest is one of the best directors in Hollywood and it's a shame that he's not widely recognized as much as he should be (kinda like Matthew Robbins and Nicholas Meyer). He knew how to combine action with sharp comedy, and here he does it with great flair. With laughs and action that'll please anyone, this is the father of cop movies and one of the best films ever made (it is also the highest grossing Rated R film in history, so far). Simply brilliant, this movie deserves a 5 star rating, HANDS DOWN.

Summary: The One And Only
Review: The best of the three movies made based on the Beverly Hils Cop theme. Its intergration of comedy and serious drama was excellent. Beverly Hills Cop II & III were not good, with III being the absolute worst of the series. Unless they come out with a Beverly Hills Cop IV that is as good or better than the original, then I guess I'll just own one of the series.

Summary: I wish there were more like this . . .
Review: Eddie Murphy at his best! This a bit similar to the great Blues Brothers movie, with a hilarious road chase and great songs. Detective Axel Foley (Murphy) goes to beverly hills to investigate the murder of his friend. He's not used to the politeness and clean tongue of the beverly hills force and
never does quite fit in. For example: He gets arrested once before they know he's a cop. Then at the police office: "Why'd you guys believe them?" "We're more likely to listen to an important local business man than a foulmouthed jerk from out of town." "Foul-mouthed?! [profane word]you, man." That basically sums up the sort of humor in this thing. Watch out for Damon Wayans as a guy who gives 3 bananas to Axel who then sticks them up a car's tailpipe.
Hilarious. Buy it.
