Beverly Hills Cop 4: Axel Foley
First one: 80s classic that has to be on anyone's short list of best Eddie Murphy movies
2nd one: Made a ton of money, had it's moments, okay buy not great
3rd one: Completely forgettable. Literally the only things i remember about it is "Is the illegal chop shop?" and the rando George Lucas cameo
Coming 2 America was a massive disappointment to me, so I have little hope that this one will be much better

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley star Eddie Murphy jokes that the action scenes in the long-awaited sequel nearly killed him. The first
Beverly Hills Cop movie introduced audiences to Murphy's wise-cracking, rebellious cop, Axel, back in 1981. After two sequels, released in 1987 and 1994, respectively, a fourth film was planned to be released in the mid-1990s, but it never ended up coming to fruition. Now, however, more than 28 years later, Murphy's fan-favorite detective is finally slated to return in
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley, which is expected to release at some point this year.
In a recent interview with
ET at the 2023
Golden Globes, Murphy teases that the action
scenes in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley aren't as easy to film now that he's a bit older.
The actor jokes that he felt like he was "
going to die" on several occasions, sharing that there were some action scenes that he wasn't able to pass off to a stuntman. The actor is careful to not reveal too much about the upcoming sequel but certainly makes it clear that, in keeping with the previous three installments, the upcoming movie won't be skimping on the action. Check out Murphy's full comment below:
“It’s emotional because, like I said, I was 61, and I was doing action scenes. You’d see my heart beating through my chest. There were many times when I felt like I was going to die on the set. I know some actors get into doing that type of stunts and stuff. Before I did the movie I said to Jerry [Bruckheimer], ‘Listen, I’m 61. Don’t ask me to do s--t you wouldn’t ask Morgan Freeman to do.’ He said, ‘Oh, we’ll have the dude come in, stunt double.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ But then there was some stuff that you have to do. So I found myself jumping and running and rolling around. And it was a lot.”
Everything We Know About Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley
It was announced in April 2022 that
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley was going to be directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, but it was announced a few months later that Mark Molley would instead helm the film. Plot details for the sequel are currently being kept under wraps, but
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley is already shaping up to be an exciting entry in the franchise due to the cast alone. In addition to Murphy, the upcoming sequel will also see the return of original cast members Judge Reinhold and John Ashton as Billy Rosewood and John Taggart, respectively. While Rosewood did appear in the generally poorly-received
Beverly Hills Cop III, Taggart was notably absent, making Ashton's return particularly notable. Paul Reiser and Bronson Pinchot, who played Detective Jeffrey Friedman and Serge, respectively, in the original 1984 film, are also expected to return.............
