Trivia:

The Alien Attack ride that Janice (Theresa Randle) demonstrates to Axel when he first comes to Wonderworld is actually the Earthquake section of the Studio Tour at Universal Studios in Hollywood. The alien robots are similar to the Cylons from "Battlestar Galactica" (1978).

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the shootout in the beginning of the movie, all the bad guys carry submachine guns with suppressors, yet the sound when they shoot is that from regular unsuppressed fire.

Quotes:

Axel: Billy, you got a fifty dollar bill?
Det. Sgt. William 'Billy' Rosewood: When do I get it back?
Axel: Man, gimme fifty dollars!

The worst in a once promosing series

Beverly Hills Cop III is the worst in what was a promosing action comedy franchise. Murphy was in a carrer slump and I guess he made this film to help out his carrer but it didn't help just sunk it deeper. The film is full of mistakes such as the loss of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckhiemer a weak script and a lack of action. John Landos who worked with Murphy before and made good films fails here. The film needed a good action director like Renny Harlin or Dwight H. Little or even Karthyn Bigelow. Skip this one even if you're a die hard Murphy fan.
