    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, and Judge Reinhold improvised most of their comic lines. Literally hundreds of takes were ruined by cast members, actors or the director laughing during shooting. During the "super-cops" monologue, Ashton is pinching his face hard and looking down in apparent frustration. He is actually laughing. Reinhold put his hand in his pocket and pinched his thigh really hard, trying to prevent himself from laughing.
    • Goofs
      In the pool scene, the hustler says "8 ball, corner pocket, 2 cushions." The 8 ball made contact with cushions three times before falling into the pocket. Mikey won his bet.
    • Quotes

      Axel Foley: Did you see that shit? I can describe all of em.

      Beverly Hills Cop #1: Please move to the side of the car, and put your hands on the hood!

      Axel Foley: Why, what's with you guys?

      Beverly Hills Cop #2: You heard what he said, sir. Do it right now, please!

      Axel Foley: What kind of shit is this, man? Hold up, wait a second! You guys are arresting me for getting thrown out of a fucking window? I got thrown out of a window, man!

      Beverly Hills Cop #1: Gun, partner!

      Beverly Hills Cop #1: Sir, you are under arrest; you are to remain silent, anything you say CAN and will be against you in a court of law! You have a right to have an attorney present during questioning...

      Axel Foley: Yeah, I understand, I understand the rights! I know this is bullshit, man... I got thrown out of a fucking window!

      Beverly Hills Cop #2: Please get in the car, sir!

      Beverly Hills Cop #2: Posession of concealed weapons, and disturbing the peace!

      Axel Foley: Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window! What's the fucking charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking? This is bullshit!

    • Crazy credits
      Scott Murphy's character of Det. Owensby is misspelled as Det. Owenby in the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Ron Karabatsos played Rand in scenes deleted from the theatrical version. Rand is the police detective Axel Foley referred to when speaking to Inspector Todd.

    The Peak of Murphy's Career
    This film came out, Eddie Murphy's star was still rising and this pretty much was the pinnacle of his career. This film is a funny, fast paced, action filled fun ride and Murphy really made the film an enjoyable experience. Thank God that Sylvester Stallone backed out because I feel the film would have been a very dark intense film. At least Murphy made Axel into a smart aleck who helped to lighten the mood of the film. Also, the one underrated performance has to have been Judge Reinhold. Reinhold makes an art of playing slightly goofy out of it characters and his portrayal of Detective Billy Rosewood was a perfect example of that and John Ashton was the perfect foil as Taggart. This is definitely one of the top films of the 1980's
