As a Detroiter, I'm proud to inform you that the beautiful building that was all burned out in the opening credits has been beautifully restored! Its known as the Ransom Gillis house, just outside of downtown Detroit in the Brush Park neighborhood. It was once famous for its status as an oft photographed ruin in stories about Detroits decline. Now it stands as a proud testament to my cities rebirth.
I love that story. Thank you for sharing it. I am going to look it up as soon as this video ends. So interesting. Running from history is futile.
Thanks for sharing that makes me so happy that it wasn't lost.
Still need to fix that crime problem though
@@DiggitySliceAccording to recent data, Memphis Tennessee is the city with the highest crime rate in the USA. It even beats out places traditionally known for crime (,e.g. Detroit, Gary, New York, Chicago.)
Eddie Murphy's laugh is a national treasure in my opinion. ❤️
I think you'd be the guy in the theater who laughs out loud at all the right moments
The theme song for this film is amazing, everything about the music is just super cool. Harold Faltermeyer did the theme for this film along with a few other songs on the soundtracks. He also did the Top Gun Anthem along with Steve Stevens on guitar. But my personal favourite has to go to The Running Man soundtrack from 1987. The Running Man is a blast featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and a really solid cast of characters with a unique setting and story.
I love Harold's work. My favorites also imo, are Tango & Cash, and Kuffs.
The 80 & 90 just had amazing theme songs
I’m definitely looking forward to the day we eventually do The Running Man on this channel. In case you ever read the Stephen King/Richard Bachman book it is based on, it’s a completely different experience, with only about a 2% similarity between them. It’s a rare case of a movie being just as good as it’s source material even though it got changed. Lot.
@@XavierXSims I love Kuffs, I hardly ever see people mention it.
80% of the banter was improvised, that's where the magic comes in😂😂😁😀😀💙
Judge Reinhold is so underrated, I've always loved him in these movies.
This movie was HUGE in the 80’s. It came out when I was in high school and within a month of it being in the theaters, there were dozens of kids wearing “Mumford” Athletic t shirt that Eddie wore in it.
My favorite part is when the second team of cops assigned to Foley say "We aren't going to fall for any banana in the tailpipe."
This movie, Caddyshack, Fletch, Airplane, Blazing Saddles and Animal House were the comedies that I grew up on. I still love all of them till this day.
There's gonna be a Fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie that will be released on Netflix next year with Eddie Murphy reprising his role as Axel Foley.
Sylvester Stallone was considered to play Foley and that the movie was going to be more action packed and serious but had a falling out with the screenwriters. He would turn his version of Beverly Hills Cop into COBRA in 1986.
Some great lines in this movie..."not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe trick", among others. Very funny Murphy, great music, etc. Glad you got so many laughs out of BHC!!
We only had two VHS tapes when I was growing up, Beverly Hills Cop and Back to the Future. We played them both over and over and over...
My dad introduced me to these when I was younger. Absolutely love the series. Eddie Murphy is a comedic genius.
Where has he been?
Me too. I was super young. He put on Delirious for me 1st. Laughed my ass off. Then watched Beverly Hills Cop.
@@lukasribin4168 well, he had like 10 kids and a few wives. turns out he liked/likes being a father and was very available for all of his children. not sure how many grandchildren by now. remember, he didn’t return to host snl until 2018? or somewhere around that time.
Mouse Hunt (1997)
Splash (1984)
Demolition Man (1993)
Thanks for another reaction, James!
When I was in maybe 6th grade, around 1990, some guys came to the school to talk about electronic music. They showed how one person can make the theme song from this movie from scratch. Everybody was blown away.
I have so many memories watching this one ( and many other 80s movies) in the afternoon, after school. It aired a lot in the 90s. I miss those days.
When I hear this score and see the fashions, i'm transported there... Not many movies can do that. Eddie's laugh alone is a kick.
Beverly Hills Cop 4 started filming for Netflix very recently, so it's another one of those trilogy sets that filmed years ago with a new one 15+ years later
One of the funniest movies of the 80's. Great soundtrack and the kickstart for Murphy's film career. Saw it in the theater
Eddie Murphy’s crazy laugh is a classic meme. This and _Trading Places_ are some of my favorites 80s movies.
This movie was originally cast with Sylvester Stallone in the main role. Stallone had so many ideas about how to change the movie the script was nearly totally rewritten. The studio eventually decided to not go with Stallone of course and then cast Eddie Murphy. Stallone did ask if he could keep his new script with all of his changes and the studio did allow it. That became the movie Cobra starring Sylvester Stallone.
"I got a lot of editing to do..." LOL!
Murphy has always been underrated...he's just a comedian, they'd say...but very wrong! Actor, producer, writer, he had the goods! Plus, he is VERY funny! Yes, the second one is also terrific! 🤣🤣🤣
Eddie Murphy was such a phenomenon back in the day. He even did a pop music single.
After this came out, stores all over the country started selling Mumford Phys Ed t-shirts. It's a real HS in Detroit and they still sell the shirts.
Jonathan Banks, the henchman, was in 48 Hrs. with Eddie Murphy. Eddie played a small-time crook, and Banks played a cop. Good movie. Banks was also in the TV series Wiseguy as an FBI agent.
Pre-PG Eddie Murphy was always comedy gold. All 3 of these, 48 Hrs, Another 48 Hrs, Coming To America, Trading Places, etc all great movies.
Probably one of my favorite movies in this genre. The theme song was taught to me and my class in school during music class.
"Before I go, I just want you two to know something, alright? The supercop story... was working. Okay? It was working, and you guys just messed it up. Okay? I'm trying to figure you guys out, but I haven't yet. But it's cool. You fuck up a perfectly good lie."
Fun Fact: 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.
Projection Headline Fact: During his tirade at the Beverly Palms Hotel, Axel pretends to be writing an article called "Michael Jackson: Sitting On Top Of The World" for Rolling Stone magazine. In real life, Playboy ran an Eddie Murphy article with the same "Sitting On Top Of The World" subtitle.
Double Assault Fact: The mansion used in the final shootout between Foley and Maitland (the former Harold Lloyd estate in Beverly Hills) is the same mansion seen in the final shootout between Matrix and Arius in Commando (1985). Coincidentally, both Foley and Matrix were trying to rescue somebody named Jenny in that mansion in their respective films.
Eddie Murphy will always be the OG of comedians! And that laugh of his.. iconic! Glad you enjoyed it!
crazy that the theme song from this movie, retitled crazy frog ring tone or something, was a #1 hit in the UK decades later.
The bit with the supercops story where Taggart puts his face into his hand is because the guy playing him was trying not to laugh.
Always a fun a movie. A true classic of comedy/action films.
Fun fact: the character Zack was played by Jonathan Banks who plays Mike on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
But he’s so young here, a lot of people don’t notice.
Beverly Hills Cop is a classic...great 80's movie. Your reviews are always enjoyable!
The guy who played the police chief in Detroit apparently was a real life mayor. I guess this movie helped his career, cussing out Eddie Murphy.
He wasn't Mayor, he was the chief of police in real life. He ran for mayor a couple of times.
It's funny watching this movie as someone from Detroit. There's some details that people won't see if you didn't grow up here. Like I know what neighborhood Alex Foley grew up in. He grew up in on the west side in the Bagley neighborhood.
Movies from the 80's had such good soundtracks
Another fun movie, another fun reaction. I love how tickled you get. Eddie is a comedic gold as Achmel, Achwel, . . . Foley.
I loved all 3 of these when I was a kid. I remember Judge Reinhold from Fast Times at Ridgemont High but he’s been in a ton of movies throughout his career.
Every one I knew had a VHS of this movie. I can't tell you how many times I have seen it.
This is by far one of his best movies
Classic 80s movies .love Eddie Murphy and seen it hundred of times never get old . plus the theme song is also classic . get stuck in your head
Paul Reiser was known for his popular sitcom called Mad About You with Helen Hunt.
you’re gonna luv axel foley and his shenanigans! 👋🏼
One of Eddie Murphy's best cop movies. My favorite is still 48 Hours. Him and Nick Nolte are stellar together. 👍
Great reaction! This movie is so fun, Eddie Murphy is such a rascal the entire time and Rosewood and Taggart are perfect with Axel. I still quote this movie "You're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe."
One of my favorite movies of the 80’s
Love this movie so much. You'll get a lot of 48 Hrs requests from this but I have to add Trading Places and Coming to America for poll suggestions. In that order 😃
Fun fact: Detroit's _Inspector Todd_ was a real Detroit cop, Gil Hill.
I’m just gonna say I love Bronson Pinchot and his espresso with a lemon twist.
Loved that you watched this. Can't mention 80s movies without this one. Sgt. Taggart and Billy could've had a great spinoff tv show.
Beverly Hills Cop 2 is even better! They're currently make a 4th for Netflix.
One of my childhood favorites for sure
Eddie Murphy and this movie are such good examples of 80"s humor...irreverent and over the top.. loved this movie when it came out and love it still.
Billy is great. He was also in Ruthless People (1986)
One of my favourite 80s movies.
Using the banana to ruin the cop car is classic.
The first 5 minutes is the best in history!!!! Everything else is a bonus
I can't believe you have not seen this movie. It's one of my favorites! So cool to see someone watch it for the first time.
This is one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies. Beverly Hills Cop II is well worth the watch.
There are so many funny movies with Eddie Murphy; such a gifted actor. I remember watching this many years ago and I still enjoy this and 48 hours and a long list of other great movies. So glad you enjoyed it!
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was a kid. It's such a great movie!
Beverly Hills Cop 2 is even better with everyone returning !
The actor who played the henchman who killed Eddies friend and was thrown into the buffet table was the actor who played Mike Ermantrout in Breaking Bad. H e looks so different.
Wow did anybody notice how young Mike Ehrmantraut looks in this! Lol 😂
This is easily one of the best films Eddie Murphy has made. He was on topic of his comedic game in this one. Not to mention the awesome soundtrack to this film. Other great film Murphy films from this time include "Trading Places", "Coming to America", "48 Hours", and "Beverly Hills Cop 2".
"48 Hrs." is another great Eddie Murphy movie co-starring Nick Nolte.
He’s not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe 🤣
Eddie Murphy is the kind of actor that no matter what character he plays hes still very likeable . This movie and The Santa Clause is the two movies that stand out to me for Judge Reinhold. The tall skinny guy. If you havent seen The Santa Clause then definately put it on your Christmas watch list.
This is always been one of my favorite movies
Axel Foley : Can you put this in a good spot? 'Cause all of this shit happened the last time I parked here.😂😂😂
There is nothing better than a 1980’s Eddie Murphy!!
I snuck, & watched this as a teenager. It's cool that they are making a new one now, & just added more Joseph Gordon-Levitt to the production Friday. Eddie has been going back to those older franchises lately.
I'm glad that there are people who bring these old movies back to react on. By the way, you're always spot on in your reviews and comments. 👍👍
I'm glad I rewatched this as an adult!
You’ll love when Billy and Taggert team up with Axel in BHC 2.
I’ve seen this movie loads of times. Never spotted the delorean. Good eye. But go back and look at Axels face the moment he throws the guy over the table in victors restaurant 😂
Thank you for what you’ve brought to your community! We appreciate you!
this will always be a classic movie that never gets old. Nice reaction
One of a handful of the movies that actually filmed in Detroit. Robocop was shot in Dallas for some reason.
That song is going to be stuck in your head for days now!
I stayed at the Beverly Hilton for 5 days in 1999. I won the stay in a contest. But I had to pay the taxes. Just the taxes on the room came to around $400. And that was 20 years ago.
I'm sure I can still play the tune on keyboard, classic comedy 🤣
I love this movie both the first one and the second one and I seen them way back in the day and still to this day their theme song pops up in my head
Fun movie. Haven't rewatched it in years.
Judge Rhinhold is a great actor, he's also in Fast Times at Ridgemont High; funny movie
Now I gotta find a piano and see if I can still play the theme to this movie. It's been awhile, but it was always one of my favorites 😍
9:28 Mike Ehrmentraut with hair!!
Every time I watch a reaction to this one, I hear the theme song in my head for days. lol. *insert Eddie Murphy laugh here*
I am not surprised of your reaction, I would have bet anything that you would love it. I never get tired of this movie. I watch it a few times a year just for the laughs. Beverly Hills Cop II is great also. Taggart and Rosewood's interaction were often improvised and they went for an old couple vibe. Also at one point you mentioned that they had GPS on their cars. GPS did not exist back then or at least if it did, it did not have public access. The filmmakers just wanted to show that this police department was in a class of its own. High tech, clean cars and cells, etc. For another police themed comedy think of looking at "Police Academy" which came out in 1984 also.
This is just one of those movies you can watch anytime its on. Another AWESOME reaction!
I love Beverly Hills Cop, watched it so much that my VCR ate the tape and still to this day Beverly Hills Cop is stuck in my old VCR player, awesome film and awesome review!
Wait, he hasn't seen Coming to America? That is a must watch immediately.
Awesome reaction as always!!! One of my favorites. Little FYI during Foley's super cop story, you see Taggart put his hand up to his face as if to rub it. In all actuality the actor couldn't keep it together, he was laughing so much during it that the one we see is the best take they could get.
Thanks for the info
One movie I think of when it comes to the 80’s is Midnight Run. Great early Deniro flick.
Axel-F was the jam on the Casio keyboard back in the day
Other than Eddie Murphy's character "Axel Foley", Judge Reinhold as "Billy" is my favorite character.
Fast forward to Oct 1....
James puts names in hat, as he reaches in, a voice comes from the hat saying, "Hey, it's dark in here."
Also, good choice, James! Haven't seen any other channels do this movie. Keep shaking things up, and do the movies others haven't.
I watched this w my dad as a kid.....love this movie
Yes, Foley got away with a lot all right. Eddie Murphy was the often-imitated, never-replicated.
The captain in Detroit was actually a mayor of Detroit at one time. Even had a questionable term I believe.
This movie is so damn funny! Eddie Murphy is still my favorite comedian of all time, and his laugh is ICONIC!!😂😂😂💕
