Eddie Murphy has a lot of standalone movies that are great like Trading Places, Harlem Nights, and the more recent Dolomite is my Name, but he’s also been a bit of franchise gold in the past. Obviously, Beverly Hills Cop is the biggest and most recent example, but he’s also been part of 2 48 Hours movies, a couple Nutty Professor flicks, a couple Doctor Dolittle movies and is an integral part of the mega franchise that is Shrek. While we unfortunately have to call Coming to America a franchise now after that abysmal rehash that Amazon dropped on us, there is another movie and character that I actually wouldn’t mind being brought back and has potential, under the right writer and director combo, to be a fun time and maybe even fix some of the mistakes from its predecessor. While Pluto Nash and Norbit are all time stinkers...

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Good Will Hunting has been regarded as the beginning of their careers in Hollywood. While both had starred in other works over the years, none were as significant as this. The film became a classic for many reasons, starring Robin Williams, alongside Damon and Affleck also playing an important role in the story. While their performances were impeccable, other contributions helped them win an Oscar for the film.

Damon and Affleck were the ones who actually wrote the film, having crafted the script together and then pitched it to the studio. While that is impressive on its own, many would be surprised to know that the original movie was very different.

Eddie Murphy has made sure to don some of the most fan-favorite roles throughout his star-studded career, with his iconic Beverly Hills Cop role of Axel Foley ranking as one of his best ones to date. Even then, despite holding some really significant titles to his role like Coming to America and Trading Places, the actor holds some serious regrets about the roles he turned down.

While one of the roles that he was offered but couldn’t take on included one from the critically acclaimed Ghostbusters film franchise, it wasn’t the only one. As it turns out, one other $351 million comedy movie that he was offered but ended up turning down eventually became one of his biggest regrets in Hollywood. This movie was 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Netflix had a surprise switch-up at the top of their movie chart here in the US. The golf drama “The Long Game” just bumped Eddie Murphy’s “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” from the number one spot. Talk about unexpected!
“The Long Game” stars Dennis Quaid, Jay Hernandez, and Cheech Marin in the story of a school superintendent facing racism at an all-white country club. It came out on Netflix last week and quickly rocketed to the top. And it’s no surprise – the movie has a perfect 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes! Clearly folks are really enjoying it.
Meanwhile, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” had a solid week-long run at number one after its successful debut. The action-comedy, also starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kevin Bacon, pulled in 41 million global viewers in the first week. Not too shabby!
The volatility of streaming is plain to see. Like the Italian thriller...

The 1997 movie awards season was shaping up to be surprisingly competitive in the early fall of that year. "L.A. Confidential," "Boogie Nights," and "The Sweet After" were making serious noise, while summer sleepers "The Full Monty" and "Ulee's Gold" appeared likely to stay in the picture as everyone awaited the arrival of presumed heavy hitters like Steven Spielberg's "Amistad," James L. Brooks' "As Good as It Gets," and Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown." But when James Cameron's "Titanic," a wildly expensive coin flip from a director best known for popcorn flicks, began screening for critics and guilds in early November, everything clicked into place. The boat movie was an Oscar lock for Best Picture and Director, "As Good as It Gets" had Best Actor and Actress sewn up, and everyone else was playing for the honor to be nominated.

At the climax of an action sequence, Eddie Murphy‘s character, Axel Foley, crashes on Rodeo Drive and is swiftly apprehended by two female police officers. As he’s being cuffed, Foley quips about the embarrassment. Bria Murphy, playing one of the officers, delivers a brilliant comeback: You should have thought about that before your little joy ride. This playful exchange gets even better when Foley comments on their unusually small squad car: Ya’ll are the Lego...

Axel Foley's back! Thirty years after John Landis' Beverly Hills Cops III, the franchise has been revived by Netflix, and the fourth movie is already on streaming. Across its various iterations, the series about a Detroit cop solving crimes in Beverly Hills has varied in its balance between action and comedy. However, Eddie Murphy's presence is a constant, conferring a semblance of consistency in the films. Indeed, his impact is so strong that one can easily classify him as the franchise's defining auteur. No need to be in the director's chair when one's presence in front of the camera transforms the pictures, shaping them around the gravitational pull of a true movie star.
To mark the occasion, let's look back at the flick that started it all. In 1984, Martin Brest's Beverly Hills Cop confirmed Eddie Murphy as an A-lister, and might have even come close to Oscar glory…...

There was little doubt that Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F would enjoy quite the debut on Netflix, with the only question being just how well it would do. Well, Netflix announced today that the long-awaited sequel has debuted at the #1 spot on the English Films List with 41 million views, easily making it the most-watched title of the week.
The #2 spot was filled by the romantic comedy A Family Affair, starring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron. It had 31.9 million views, nearly 10 million less than Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. I still think this film would have done great in theaters, but what can you do?
Now, what does this mean for another Beverly Hills Cop sequel? It likely confirms that Eddie Murphy and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were right to have already started brainstorming ideas. “They’re developing it,” Murphy said at last month’s world premiere. “If it comes together, we’ll be doing another one.

Netflix’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is packed with laughs, and there’s one moment that stands out for its family connection. At the end of a high-energy sequence where Eddie Murphy’s character, Axel Foley, is chased around Beverly Hills in a police meter maid cart, he crashes and gets apprehended by two female officers. While being cuffed, Foley jokingly tells the officer that it’s very embarrassing, to which the officer, played by Murphy’s eldest daughter Bria, quips back, You should have thought about that before your little joy ride. But it’s not just the crash that Foley finds awkward. The...

It’s “Back to the Future” week at Netflix, literally.
Not only is Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 classic time travel comedy the #6 film at the streamer, but one of the decade’s most iconic characters is back with the just-released “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” #1 there.
Picking up theatrical franchises isn’t unprecedented for the streamer. Netflix produced the second “Knives Out” film and is currently in production on the third. Previously, the company took shots at the “Cloverfield” and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” series — to little impact. Netflix has continued some Tyler Perry series. But “Beverly Hills Cop” is a whole other level in terms of previous iconic success.
The 1984 original was one of the biggest comedy hits ever released, with an adjusted domestic gross of over $600 million. A fourth film has been in the works for years, with Murphy, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and Netflix joining forces to license “Beverly Hills Cop...

For some in Hollywood, there’s a sigh of relief in Skydance’s $8 billion takeover of Paramount: A legacy motion picture studio and entertainment conglom will largely remain standing. This versus if Sony had actually won Paramount, in which case we’d be looking at a potential reduction in theatrical releases, a maneuver that would greatly impact both the greater production and exhibition ecosystem.

The return of Eddie Murphy to the iconic role of Axel Foley has the internet abuzz. Not only has Murphy been making the most of his press tour, but he’s also having fun reliving Beverly Hills Cop as a major franchise in pop culture. With the recent release of Axel F, we thought it was time to rank the iconic series that helped turn Eddie Murphy into a superstar. Check out our ranking below!

Next is a comedy gem that focuses on a private detective (played by Ryan Gosling) and a professional enforcer (Russell Crowe) on their mission to locate the daughter of a powerful official. It gives strong 70s vibes and displays impeccable cast chemistry.

Coming-of-age films have been around for decades, but they seemed to really hit their stride in the 1980s. Films centering around first love, outsiders and bullying rose in popularity throughout the decade, and one of the most beloved turns 40 years old this summer. “The Karate Kid” opened June 22, 1984 and unleashed a new idol for teens to adore, boosted the popularity of martial arts in the U.S. and skillfully delivered the lesson that inner strength is just as powerful (even more so) as outer strength. Let’s take a look back at a classic that proved that a film doesn’t have to have big name stars to become a blockbuster. Read on for more about “The Karate Kid” 40th anniversary.

Spoiler Warning: This story mentions major spoilers for “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” now streaming on Netflix.
Axel Foley is back in Beverly Hills, and so is Eddie Murphy.
“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” director Mark Molloy set out to make a film with the same feeling and tone as the 1984 classic “Beverly Hills Cop” and its 1987 sequel, “Beverly Hills Cop 2.” He calls the latest film in the franchise “my love letter to the first two films.”
Molloy recruited Jahmin Assa, the film’s production designer, to pay tribute to those earlier chapters in numerous ways. Assa’s goal was to create something that made “Los Angeles feel timeless and as fresh as it did in the 1980s,” and that included shutting down city streets in Detroit and Los Angeles to finding the perfect location to execute a 1980s-style mansion shootout for the film’s third act, and crash...

Eddie Murphy’s title character in the Netflix film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F has an unexpected partner for fighting crime.
The streaming service shared a new promo for the action-comedy movie on Friday that features Crazy Frog, the animated character that rose to pop culture prominence with a dance-focused rendition of the franchise’s theme music nearly two decades ago. The new promo features key scenes from the film that show Crazy Frog inserted into the action to cause extra chaos for Murphy’s character.
Netflix’s official X (formerly Twitter) account posted the video Friday with the message, “Crazy Frog And Axel Foley???” Among the accounts responding to the post was that of T-Mobile, which commented, “The Goat of ringtones.” Netflix replied, “Invented ringtones.”

“Beverly Hills Cop” and its young exuberant star Eddie Murphy were dominant forces on the cultural landscape as soon as the action comedy opened Dec. 5, 1984 on 1,532 screens, earning over $15 million in its first five days of release. “Beverly Hills Cop” garnered nearly $235 million domestically and another $81.6 million internationally.
The comedy even earned an Oscar nomination for its screenplay while Murphy hit superstar status thanks to his dazzling comedic turn as Axel Foley, a freewheeling Detroit cop who is the ultimate fish out of water when a murder investigation leads him to the by-the-book Beverly Hills police department. And the soundtrack album featuring the film’s composer Harold Faltermeyer’s hit “Axel F,” as well as the Pointer Sisters‘ “Neutron Dance” and Glenn Frey’s “The Heat is On,” hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart.
Three years later, Murphy returned in “Beverly Hills Cop II,” which made close to $300 million worldwide...

On this week's 100% politics free episode of the Empire podcast, the release of Ti West's eagerly anticipated X trilogy closer Maxxxine — which sees the series' instantly iconic porn star-turned-Final Girl Maxine being stalked by a shadowy killer on the streets of mid-80s LA — brings star Mia Goth our way. The decidedly less shadowy and less killery Chris Hewitt sat down with Goth over Zoom for a lovely chat about all things Maxxxine, getting drenched in prosthetics, being a non-screaming scream queen, and much more besides [41:11 - 53:59 approx].
Then, back in the non-political pod booth, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer for an episode in which they don't talk about politics, even though it was recorded on General Election Day, and even though this week's listener question is specifically about movie politicians.

It's been nearly 30 years since we last saw Axel Foley, the wisecracking Detroit cop played by Eddie Murphy, bring his street smarts to the posh streets of Beverly Hills. Now Netflix has revived the beloved franchise with the new film 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,' reuniting Murphy with original cast members Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Bronson Pinchot, and Paul Reiser.
This time around, Detective Foley heads back to Beverly Hills to save his estranged daughter and district attorney (played by Taylour Paige) from potential danger while investigating a murder. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Paige’s cop ex-boyfriend, who joins in the mayhem as Foley and his pals uncover a conspiracy involving drug cartels.
How does the film stack up against the other movies in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise? Not bad, according to early IMDb user voting. Two days after premiering on Netflix, the fourth film has 15K votes with a respectable 6.7 average IMDb rating. That rating puts it above previous sequels ‘Beverly Hills Cop II’ (1987) at 6.5/10 stars and 134K votes, and 1994’s maligned ‘Beverly Hills Cop III,’ which sits at 5.5 with 90K votes. Unsurprisingly, the iconic original ‘Beverly Hills Cop’—directed by Martin Brest in 1984—has the highest score, with an impressive 7.4 rating with 209K votes.
If all this talk of Eddie Murphy and ‘80s buddy cop movies has you feeling nostalgic, IMDb spoke with the cast and crew of ’Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ to get their favorite films from the ‘80s and their must-see Murphy flicks. See what director Mark Molloy, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and stars Kevin Bacon, John Ashton, and Judge Reinhold shared with us in the 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F' Cast and Creators Watchlist....

The nostalgia for the Eddie Murphy-led beloved action-comedy franchise Beverly Hills Cop is at an all-time high, now that the actor once again returned to the silver screen as the iconic Axel Foley in Mark Molloy helmed Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. However, following the release of Murphy’s fourth installment in the franchise, Molloy dropped shocking revelations that are sure to spark controversies among the fandom.

According to Mark Molloy’s interview with THR, the filmmaker noted being advised to skip one particular movie from the franchise. Hired by producer Jerry Bruckheimer to lead the fourth sequel, when Molloy admitted to having never watched Beverly Hills Cop 3, he was apparently advised to skip over the late hit, despite its gradual surge in popularity.

By now, many of you have undoubtedly watched Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix. While jam-packed with easter eggs that will please fans of the series, the movie also contains an unusual cameo that left a lot of fans scratching their heads, as it seems to suggest that another highly anticipated Netflix sequel takes place in the same universe as Axel F.
That movie, of course, is Happy Gilmore 2. In Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Christopher McDonald shows up as an irate Beverly Hills golfer, with many assuming he’s, in fact, playing the famous Happy Gilmore antagonist Shooter McGavin. Indeed, he certainly looks like Shooter and acts like Shooter, so could he be playing the same guy?
Given that Netflix is behind Happy Gilmore 2 and Axel F, it seems reasonable to assume that this cameo is more than just a coincidence. Murphy and Adam Sandler both...

Mark Molloy's "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" succeeds in large part because it is unabashedly formulaic in a way many mainstream programmers are afraid to be nowadays (though we're not all fans here at /Film). Yes, superhero movies and four-quadrant family entertainments contain obligatory elements like Easter eggs for the properties' hardcore fan base and mid- or post-credit scenes to juice excitement for the next installment, but, narratively, the brand managers (i.e. filmmakers) feel a need to overdeliver. It's no longer enough to deliver a simple, well-told story. This is how ephemeral studio/streaming tentpoles wind up with bloated runtimes and obscenely inflated budgets. When viewers look up from their phones to check in on "Red Notice," they expect to see something of significance happening.

Judge Reinhold and the cast of ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ simply wanted to bring its viewers “some good laughs”.The 67-year-old actor – born Edward Ernest Reinhold Jr, and who was given his ‘Judge’ nickname by his parents due to the stern expression he wore as a child – reprises his role as straight-laced investigator Billy Rosewood in the ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ reboot.He told The Independent about wanting to use the film – which is streaming now on Netflix – to inject a bit of humour into dark times: “In talking about the world at large and everything, we just want to bring some good laughs. We did talk about that. “People have an affection for (‘Beverly Hills Cop’) and we want to meet that affection, and just bring some laughter to a very harsh time. You know?”The reboot also sees Eddie Murphy, 63, return as maverick cop Axel Foley and John Ashton,...

Will Beall was tapped to write a Justice League movie in 2011. Warner Bros. wanted to follow in the footsteps of Marvel Studios (The Avengers was released the following years) and even eyed Ben Affleck to direct long before he was cast as the Dceu's Batman.

Will Beall received a writing credit on the latter version and has now opened up on why that might have been and how his script differed.

The box-office success of Top Gun: Maverick and the recent Bad Boys sequels have proven that there’s undoubtedly a market for belated revivals of Jerry Bruckheimer-produced blockbusters. So it was simply only a matter of time before Eddie Murphy dusted off Axel Foley’s Detroit Lions jacket for another installment in the 40-year-old Beverly Hills Cop franchise.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F finds Foley once again journeying to Los Angeles, this time to help his lawyer daughter crack a dangerous case involving corrupt cops.

Fans of Beverly Hills Cop’s Axel Foley may notice something missing from the Netflix sequel to the ’80s comedy-action franchise: Eddie Murphy’s iconic laugh. As a fixture of the original Beverly Hills Cop movies, Murphy recently revealed in an interview with Cbr that there will be no familiar laughing from Foley this time around, as he forced himself to stop using what was actually his natural laugh.

The Beverly Hills Cop series of films is a pop culture phenomenon. The first film was released in 1984, and ever since, it has set quite the precedent in the comedy genre. Eddie Murphy became a superstar overnight, and the actor/comedian has not looked back ever since. Beverly Hills Cop is a cop comedy film that follows Axel Foley, who always finds himself in this part of Los Angeles and has friends who help him solve cases that are outside his jurisdiction. The fourth film, a Netflix Original, is a sequel to the third film released thirty years ago. Three decades later, Axel is back, and this time there are far more important people to him whose lives are at stake.

Selena Gomez is not only a talented actress but also a gifted musician. The Disney star made her singing debut in 2009 with her first album, Kiss and Tell. Her band released the album before she parted ways in 2012 to work as a solo artist.
However, the singer’s first solo album was marred by controversy after New Zealand feminist star Lorde criticized Selena Gomez for the theme of her single, ‘Come And Get It’.
Referring to Selena Gomez’s 2013 hit “Come & Get It,” Lorde told Rolling Stone, “I’m a feminist, and the theme of her song is, “When you’re ready, come and get it from me. “I’m sick of women being portrayed this way.”

Although some younger audiences may not realize it, Eddie Murphy has been one of the biggest, most famous movie stars on the planet for more than 40 years. Part of the gap of knowledge for Gen Z might be the reality that Murphy stepped away from the limelight aside from a couple of notable titles that went straight to streaming over the last few years, such as the Amazon Original film "Coming 2 America," over the last decade. But Murphy is roaring back on screen this week with a vengeance by returning to one of his most recognizable and beloved characters in the new Netflix action comedy "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F." With his return to this now-40-year-old character in mind, it's worth looking at the whole "Beverly Hills Cop" series. The 1984 original is one of the seminal action comedies ever made, but how does the rest of the franchise hold up?...
