This is by far my favorite movie of all time, its sequel were superceded by the outstanding, and near perfect original, that although was intended to be played by Sly Stallone, was much better acted by Eddie Murphy, his comedic attitude,... Full review

This movie truly shows what Eddie Murphy is capable of. Though over the years he's gotten a lot tamer this is truly what he's made of. It's fast, it's fun, and you won't want to turn it off. You don't want... Full review

it's one of my favorite movie names ever.....Those weird, uncomfortable moments where life seeps through, where we think, consider, ponder, meditate, calculate and organize -....Yet this movie is loaded with a great supporting cast.....whatever else didn't work was improvised by the cast.....Still, Axel Foley's first adventure remains one of the director's most satisfying efforts..... ...

If you're going to make a new "Beverly Hills Cop" movie you don't kill off its most beloved character - next to Axel - within the first five minutes of the film!
You don't kill that character off - you'll lose the audience (fuck, if anyone, kill of that Serge character, played by Bronson Pinchot!

I'd argue that Reinhold's performance in the first movie is a large percentage of what makes it endearing.
I'd watch that over the uninspired fecal matter Eddie Murphy attaches his name to these days.

But if this movie is going to be remotely tolerable, it'll need a great script-- and this is not a good place to start.
And the final piece of bad news: Eddie Murphy is apparently the only one with the sense to hate this draft.
