Axel not being allowed to work on the case of murder of his friend, is standard in all polices all over the world. If you are emotively or having friends or family connected with the case of investigation (especially murder) you are gonna be off the case instant.
When Reinhold (Rosewood) and Ashton (Taggart) were auditioning for their roles, Reinhold came up with the idea that since they are partners, they should behave as an old, married couple. He then picked up a health magazine and started to read it randomly (the five pounds of red meat stuff). Ashton got the picture and started to behave annoyed and angry. They delivered it so good that not only they got the parts, the gag was included in the script.
@@glenncabacungan9269 Interestingly, Stallone was first cast for the role of Foley, but he had such over-the-top ideas that were considered either too expensive or simply stupid. After he was dismissed, he made _Cobra_ from those ideas. (Probably this is why a poster of that film hangs in Rosewood's bedroom in BHC 2 much to Foley's fright.)
Fun fact: Axel laughing at the leather suits when he first arrives to Beverly Hills is a reference he made about the same types of leather suits he wears to his standup comedy shows at the same time period. Like in "Delirious" 1983.
Eddie Murphy was an R rated comedian/actor before he went on a family film slide. I highly recommend Trading Places next, especially for the Holiday Season!
Yeah, I liked Eddie a lot better during that phase in his career. Had all his comedy tapes, which you couldn't play even 5 seconds of around the parents. Even his final Beverly Hills Cop movie had lost so much of the character.
One of the great "cop" movies ever. Eddie Murphy is one of the funniest people to ever walk the earth. Absolute classic, and a fantastic reaction! I'm so glad you liked it, this was a fun watch!
"Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters was a popular song in this. Eddie is so good being undercover since his character is from the streets. He always busts the bad guys at the end. The older cop is the bad guy in Robocop.
The Theme Song is so good. It's the only song that I never got sick of even though they probably over played it for some people. To this day it sounds just as fresh as the first time I heard it. The real crazy thing is that it's in a genre that I typically don't like.
When I was in grade school in the late 80s a group came to the school to demenstrate electronic music instruments. They showed how one guy can play every part of that song and we were all blown away.
Fun fact. In these movies Eddie Murphy improves a lot of his lines in scenes or improvises scenes in general! They might be in the script or they might be improvised. Most of them are. Eddie’s a legend
The chief was giving him a huge insult not just to Foley but to his entire precinct. It is so sweet that you can see a scathing insult and take it as a compliment.
Eddie Murphy in his first lead role and he became a box-office champ. No.1 film of 1984 and it dethroned Ghostbusters. Incredible soundtrack as well. #TrueClassic💎
@@darkgable85 actually he wasn't offered GB. Although Aykroyd wanted him to play Winston. Eddie was not available because he was making BHC. Then he heard about it afterwards.
I've always wondered why someone has not yet done a prequel show/movie called "Axel Foley" that explores Axel's younger life. There is so much potential there.
Duaffy being introduced to all the hallmark of 80s action movies in one great movie: car chases with random property destruction, the hero hurled through a ground level window for no real reason, and fast-talking your way into free hotels, food, etc.
Axel Foley's "charming Con-man Hero" character is SUCH fun to watch! It totally makes Beverly Hills Cop (1 & 2) as great as it is. Glad you seemed to enjoy it as well. Oh, an the joke where he acted like he was Victor's gay lover & said he had "Herpes Symplex 10", if even MORE funny when you realize it just means he has a Canker sore (or cold sore?). As opposed to something severe. (this was at the height of the AIDS scare, which is why it was reasonable that it worked.)
Oh, lol! So there actually is a 10th simplex of herpes? 😂 I thought he was just taking herpes simplex 2 and dialing it up to 11 just to make it sound worse. That makes it way funnier!
OMG the 80's had Awesome films... Animal House, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, The Breakfast Club, Fast Times at Ridgemont High... and Many, Many, Many More...
Another fun fact the actor who played the guy who gave foley the bananas is named Damon Wayans he's the younger brother of Keenan Ivory Wayans who is best friends with Eddie Murphy and that's how he got in the movie , also the older brother of Shawn and Marlon Wayans who did the scary movie movies
The thing that Axel does in the warehouse, where he pretends to be an investigator, is actually a very common form of "social hack." So common it even has a name: The Bavarian Fire Drill. People are trained from childhood to respond to authority figures with obedience, and the Bavarian Fire Drill is a form of con where you act like an authority figure and keep barking out orders at people so that they act on their instinct to obey rather than stop and think about what they are doing. If you do it with confidence, it's amazingly effective.
Coming to America is an amazing Eddie Murphy movie worth checking out. Another recommendation I have is The Long Kiss Goodnight, a 1995 action movie starring Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson.
Bearer Bonds were a financial instrument that were worth a set amount (much like a savings bond at full value) but were not registered to any individual. The "Bearer" of the bond, the one holding it, was presumed to be the owner and could redeem it at any financial institution. They haven't really been used since 2010
Great reaction. But honestly, I was laughing at your laugh. I realized it’s similar to Eddie’s laugh. When he and you both laugh it cracks me up. 😂👏🏽👍🏽
Omg.. CLASSIC…. XD So one note: When Axel checks into the hotel in Beverly Hills, the front desk girl looks up his reservation on a computer system. That wouldn’t be unusual *today* , but back then, the majority of hotels around the country would have probably used physical logbooks for records. The implication, along with how nice the lobby looked, was that this was a *fancy* (expensive) hotel. Even more so with the entire police department being computerized. In many of these scenes, Eddie Murphy was given free rein to improvise. The director would instruct the other actors to just try to impede Murphy by behaving like hotel staff, concierges, maître ds, etc. and Murphy would just come up with different ways to try to bluff past them. Buffet plate being $12.50. Back then a lunch plate where I lived was $3.99 and that was high.
Now imagine how those Eddie Murphy improv scenes would've turned out had they been performed by Sylvester Stallone, the actor that was originally cast as Axel Foley in this movie? (It's true! Stallone was the producer's first choice for the lead role!)
yea today a basic buffet would be 13 bucks. The higher end ones, like that one back then were the very high rated buffets, including steaks, seafood, and other things. These days those buffets run 50-100 bucks.
Great and fun movie. Thanks for sharing. Saw this in the theater. Trivia: yes there was a time when Detroit detectives were authorized to carry a Browning Hi Power.
I love your reaction to this movie. You got into it, you freely laughed at the funny stuff, and you were shocked by the shocking stuff. Exactly how it should be. It's nice to see a somebody watch a great movie and share real reactions.
Two excellent movies you should consider: "L.A. Confidential", with Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, and Kevin Spacey "Road to Perdition", with Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law, and Daniel Craig
One thing most people don't think about when they meet is their background and how much of their experience is the reason for what the occupation they have is shaped by that. This movie shows three childhood friends that grew up in very rough streets. One went to California and became the director of an upscale art gallery, one became a cop, and one stayed in the criminal underworld. They stayed a family but took different paths in life, and the story bears that connection between them out. As for not wanting Foley to investigate the case... Foley could not be objective because of that personal investment and as a witness, his testimony would be thrown out since it will be corrupted by his investigation and personal involvement and altering his views on the facts of the case. If Maitlan guards had not started a firefight and Maitlan would have been brought to trial then Foleys' investigation would have been thrown out and only Maitlans' defense teams' version of events concerning the physical evidence would be considered in the case. In short, most likely, Maitlan would have walked free. Oh, Jessie's testimony is highly questionable as her association with Foley and her fear that Foley and herself would be killed if she testified against him could destroy the case against Maitlan. This may sound unfair, but if you think of the flipside of the situation and consider that someone gets murdered in Detroit and the immediate evidence points to Maitlan but he's innocent, all you would have is Bearer Bonds and cocaine being smuggled but the owner might know nothing of what his employees were doing. Something, in real life, happened similar to this with a large tech company and all evidence pointed to the owner and CEO until it was found that the ringleader was not even an employee of the company. Turns out that she was not just involved in smuggling drugs but in human trafficking and the CEO helped in taking her and her operation down. I'm so sorry for the long comment but it kind of grew as I was typing.
One of the all-time greats. God, I forgot that Bronson Pinchot was in this, it's been so long. I'd love to see you do the Star Trek "Genesis" Trilogy. Also Logan, or the Thin Red Line.
1. GOOF: An entire truck loaded with EMPTY cigarette boxes.🙄 2. IMVHO Eddies' best movies are "Trading Places and "Coming to America"😎😎 3. Serge/Bronson Pinchot was in a short lived series "Perfect Strangers". 4. Jenny/Jill Eikenberry played Segar in "An Officer and a Gentleman" HINT HINT 5. One of the best bad guys ever!😁
The most difficult part of your reactions is trying to decide whether to pay attention to the epic/classic/legendary movies...or to your insanely adorable reaction to them. You're a rockstar girl. Keep doing what you do!
This is the "renegade cop" genre. They break the rules, because society has too many restrictions to get the job done. The criminals have no restrictions, so the renegade cop plays the game, the same way they do. It was very popular in the 80's. A-team (former military , not cops), Nasty Boys, Knight Rider, Red Heat, Cobra. The list goes on and on.
Quite a few cops were trouble makers in their youth. As a youngster and in Foley's neighborhood, stealing a car for a joy ride was probably considered harmless fun (To him). Like it's not bad because he didn't have a gun or hurt anyone. His friend clearly went further down that path. Though if you look deeper, it gets a little depressing for a comedy movie. Getting caught for the stolen car likely led him down that path. The getting caught part that is. They say that jail is like school for crime. What could have been a one time thing, or a youthful experience that he got out of his system (not saying any crime like stealing cars is okay) and ended up on a different path like Foley or other people who were trouble causers in their youth. But once he was in the system he started learning more how to commit bigger crimes, and what crimes pay better which was enticing. Point being that if Foley had gotten caught or if his friend had ratted him out, he'd just as likely have turned out the same way.
8:31 actually, that was Eddie's clothes. He wore a similar red leather suit in Delirious. I got an Iiiiiice-cream I got an iiiiiiiice-cream you do not haaaaaave one you can't affooooord it....
Hey, Duaffy...a few things that I know about this movie. This was only Eddie Murphy's second movie, and it was a monster hit. Previously to this, he was a cast member of Saturday Night Live and did the film '48 Hours' with Nick Nolte. He was primarily a stand-up comedian at this stage of his career. After this for the rest of the 80s and into the 90s, Eddie was a king in Hollywood. 'Coming To America', the next two 'Beverly Hills Cop' films and others were top of the box office...including a live stand-up comedy concert film Eddie made called 'Eddie Murphy: RAW'. Judge Reinhold (Billy) was a member of the cast of 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High', one of the most seminal teen comedies of the 80s, that also included Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Forest Whitaker, Phoebe Cates, and many other actors and actresses that had success in Hollywood. It was directed by Amy Heckerling ('Clueless'), and written by Cameron Crowe ('Almost Famous', 'Say Anything', 'Singles','Jerry Maguire', and 'Vanilla Sky') based on his novel. The film was originally written for Sylvester Stallone, but the producers and Stallone couldn't agree on the tone. The producers wanted comedic, Stallone wanted action-drama. Stallone ended up making a similar film called 'Cobra'(which was nowhere as good as BHC). The producers for this were the late Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. Bruckheimer is now known for the 'Pirates of the Caribbean series of films, the 'CSI' tv series, and tons of other films. They had a formula that they would follow in their films...a high concept idea, a director who had a spectacular visual style, and a soundtrack that was filled with current hit-makers making awesome music. Some of their films were 'Top Gun', 'Flashdance', 'Days Of Thunder', and 'Dangerous Minds'. The instrumental theme of the film was called "Axel F" and was written by Harold Faltermeyer, and it was a huge hit in the US for quite a few weeks on the radio...which normally didn't happen for instrumental music. Only a few tunes during the 80s did this..."The Theme From Miami Vice', "The Theme From Chariots Of Fire", and "Axel F' were the biggest.
Close, it was his fourth movie. First was 48 hrs (1982). Second was Trading Places (1983). Third was Best Defense (1983). Fourth was Beverly Hills Cop (1984).
Sylvester Stallone was originally cast as Axel Foley. But Stallone wanted to strip out all of the humor and turn it into a gritty crime action film. Eddie was given the role and Stallone went on to make Cobra which is basically what he was trying to change Beverly Hills Cop into.
you absolutely must watch the second part, I think it's better than the first, and then when you find some time, I recommend such films : Oscar ( 1991 ), STOP! OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT (1992), Avenging Angelo ( 2002 )
@@cathcarttowershotel4988 yeah, i meant the guitar player that played the song dueling banjos in the movie. Its not elliot, its ronny cox, he is the one that falls out of the boat and no one knows why
It's one awesome movie I own it in my collection I watch it every so often when I really want to watch an interesting cop movie with sarcasm LOL you should definitely watch Beverly hills cop 2 it gets quite interesting the dynamic between characters and everything
Trading Places is another great Eddie Murphy movie.
EPIC MOVIE!!! Infinitely quotable!! 🤣😂🤣😂 #TurnThoseMachinesBackOn! 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣
WHO PUT THE COOLS OUT ON MY CARPET!!!
Axel not being allowed to work on the case of murder of his friend, is standard in all polices all over the world. If you are emotively or having friends or family connected with the case of investigation (especially murder) you are gonna be off the case instant.
Lol! Yeah despite what soooooo many movies and tv shows would have you believe 🤣
It's amazing how many movies and TV shows get this wrong, and bring in the vengeance angle. As a detective, Foley definitely would have known this.
When Reinhold (Rosewood) and Ashton (Taggart) were auditioning for their roles, Reinhold came up with the idea that since they are partners, they should behave as an old, married couple. He then picked up a health magazine and started to read it randomly (the five pounds of red meat stuff). Ashton got the picture and started to behave annoyed and angry.

Which is why all directors should allow more actors input and direct less.

That makes sense. I always assumed it was because of it reminding him of Michael Jackson in the Thriller video
I never thought of that. I, like most people, thought it was because of Thriller. Has this been verified? Very cool if so
The red one is from "RAW" lol his standup
The sequel to this one is also quite funny, definitely worth a view!

The second film is just as good. Lots of great comedy moments.
It's possibly better; Tony Scott really put his stamp on it, so the visual style just pops!
@@StreetHierarchy I'll agree with that. I can honestly say that I seen the second film many more times than the first.
@@StreetHierarchy - First is good, second is better.
Oh yeah, it's just as good if not better. Be sure to see the second film
Not near as good, but I enjoyed the 3rd movie.
Eddie Murphy was an R rated comedian/actor before he went on a family film slide. I highly recommend Trading Places next, especially for the Holiday Season!
Right next to die hard as Christmas movies
thats an under rated comedy / drama with xmas as the season. ANd of course the comic scenes and the Luscious JAMie L scene haha

"Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters was a popular song in this. Eddie is so good being undercover since his character is from the streets. He always busts the bad guys at the end. The older cop is the bad guy in Robocop.
"The Heat Is On" by Glen Frey is also pretty catchy.
@@BDTXIII Agreed.
Also singles from the movie were, Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer and New Attitude and Stir it up by Patti LaBelle.
Beverly Hills Cop two is great too. you get to learn more about Rosewood.
The Theme Song is so good. It's the only song that I never got sick of even though they probably over played it for some people. To this day it sounds just as fresh as the first time I heard it. The real crazy thing is that it's in a genre that I typically don't like.
Totally.
Vangelis, Harold Faltermeyer, and Jan Hammer were the synth music guys of the 1980s for me.
It was a great song. Unfortunately they played it nonstop on the radio for an entire summer in 1984 until just about everyone was sick of hearing it.
@Welsh Dude You mean the frog in the tailpipe?
@@Mr.Ekshin I kept thinking I would get tired of it. Nope... Always found that weird. Especially since I generally get bored by synth music.
When I was in grade school in the late 80s a group came to the school to demenstrate electronic music instruments. They showed how one guy can play every part of that song and we were all blown away.

@k.delpino1124 offered but he declined because of Beverly Hills Cop
Duaffy, your laugh is just as funny as Axel’s. 😂☺️
"Finally someone that appreciates his talents" lol that was sarcasm. The chief is the strictest of the bunch.
The actor that played Eddie Murphy's boss was actually a police detective in real life, and was eventually named Chief of Police in Detroit, Michigan!
The man behind the hotel counter when Axel checks out is played by none other than the director, Martin Brest.
I think that the opening of the movie with the semi-truck chaise is one of the best stunt driving sequences in any movie.
I've always wondered why someone has not yet done a prequel show/movie called "Axel Foley" that explores Axel's younger life. There is so much potential there.
Axel didn’t see Victor’s henchmen. They snuck up on him and knocked him out from behind.
Yep, movie shows the audience but Foley didn't see him. If he saw them, he would've been shot too

It also stars Danny De Vito and Bette Midler.

The red leather 'suit' was almost exactly what Eddie Murphy wore for his first stand up: Delirious. He was literally laughing at his old-self

Coming to America is an amazing Eddie Murphy movie worth checking out. Another recommendation I have is The Long Kiss Goodnight, a 1995 action movie starring Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson.
3:52 That was a real goof up experienced by Eddie Murphy. Nice staying in character. Also, his boss is played by a real cop.
Eddie Murphy said in a interview he hates guns . He said you see him close his eyes in a action scene holding a gun.

Axel and his childhood friends are from Detroit, a very deprived and poor city in America. They all went their own way, but kept in touch.
Axel Foley laughs at the 2 people in leather suits is funny because he wore the same kind of suit for one of his comedy specials, Delirious.

I love watching movies with you! Please consider watching Eddie Murphy in the comedy Trading Places. I promise you will love it!
Good choice BTW Axels chief of police was a real Chief of police in Detroit In rela life.
9:12 That guy is from an old show called "Perfect Strangers,it's funny. 👍🏼
The most difficult part of your reactions is trying to decide whether to pay attention to the epic/classic/legendary movies...or to your insanely adorable reaction to them. You're a rockstar girl. Keep doing what you do!
This is the "renegade cop" genre. They break the rules, because society has too many restrictions to get the job done. The criminals have no restrictions, so the renegade cop plays the game, the same way they do. It was very popular in the 80's. A-team (former military , not cops), Nasty Boys, Knight Rider, Red Heat, Cobra. The list goes on and on.
Also dazed and confused you’ll love that, keep up the good work 😊
Too funny. You laughed like Axel Foley.
Quite a few cops were trouble makers in their youth. As a youngster and in Foley's neighborhood, stealing a car for a joy ride was probably considered harmless fun (To him). Like it's not bad because he didn't have a gun or hurt anyone. His friend clearly went further down that path. Though if you look deeper, it gets a little depressing for a comedy movie. Getting caught for the stolen car likely led him down that path. The getting caught part that is. They say that jail is like school for crime. What could have been a one time thing, or a youthful experience that he got out of his system (not saying any crime like stealing cars is okay) and ended up on a different path like Foley or other people who were trouble causers in their youth. But once he was in the system he started learning more how to commit bigger crimes, and what crimes pay better which was enticing. Point being that if Foley had gotten caught or if his friend had ratted him out, he'd just as likely have turned out the same way.
I do love your laugh. Man your precious. You made my week
8:31 actually, that was Eddie's clothes. He wore a similar red leather suit in Delirious.

Duaffy is so sweet,and yes,laughs just like Eddie,great reaction once more.
Hey, Duaffy...a few things that I know about this movie.
This was only Eddie Murphy's second movie, and it was a monster hit. Previously to this, he was a cast member of Saturday Night Live and did the film '48 Hours' with Nick Nolte. He was primarily a stand-up comedian at this stage of his career. After this for the rest of the 80s and into the 90s, Eddie was a king in Hollywood. 'Coming To America', the next two 'Beverly Hills Cop' films and others were top of the box office...including a live stand-up comedy concert film Eddie made called 'Eddie Murphy: RAW'.
Judge Reinhold (Billy) was a member of the cast of 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High', one of the most seminal teen comedies of the 80s, that also included Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Forest Whitaker, Phoebe Cates, and many other actors and actresses that had success in Hollywood. It was directed by Amy Heckerling ('Clueless'), and written by Cameron Crowe ('Almost Famous', 'Say Anything', 'Singles','Jerry Maguire', and 'Vanilla Sky') based on his novel.
The film was originally written for Sylvester Stallone, but the producers and Stallone couldn't agree on the tone. The producers wanted comedic, Stallone wanted action-drama. Stallone ended up making a similar film called 'Cobra'(which was nowhere as good as BHC).
The producers for this were the late Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. Bruckheimer is now known for the 'Pirates of the Caribbean series of films, the 'CSI' tv series, and tons of other films. They had a formula that they would follow in their films...a high concept idea, a director who had a spectacular visual style, and a soundtrack that was filled with current hit-makers making awesome music. Some of their films were 'Top Gun', 'Flashdance', 'Days Of Thunder', and 'Dangerous Minds'.
The instrumental theme of the film was called "Axel F" and was written by Harold Faltermeyer, and it was a huge hit in the US for quite a few weeks on the radio...which normally didn't happen for instrumental music. Only a few tunes during the 80s did this..."The Theme From Miami Vice', "The Theme From Chariots Of Fire", and "Axel F' were the biggest.
Close, it was his fourth movie. First was 48 hrs (1982). Second was Trading Places (1983). Third was Best Defense (1983). Fourth was Beverly Hills Cop (1984).

Typo, thank you. It has been corrected.
Love your reaction...
Great review of a fantastic film. Eddie Murphy made some brilliant films around this time.
Eddie Murphy's laugh in this movie is so contagious that even has you doing it towards the end of the movie
Sylvester Stallone was originally cast as Axel Foley. But Stallone wanted to strip out all of the humor and turn it into a gritty crime action film. Eddie was given the role and Stallone went on to make Cobra which is basically what he was trying to change Beverly Hills Cop into.
A fun reaction to an Eddie classic. You should definitely check out the sequel.
Her comments on criminality, police, slang and curse words makes her sound so sheltered, its so funny.
Duaffy's laugh is so adorable 😁😁
I loved this film since i first saw it when i was 7 in 1987.
Duaffy something about your eyes I love.
you absolutely must watch the second part, I think it's better than the first, and then when you find some time, I recommend such films : Oscar ( 1991 ), STOP! OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT (1992), Avenging Angelo ( 2002 )
That was in 85' my first Eddie Murphy. Sold me for his next 5 films.
Coffee is sometimes used to mask the scent of contraband.
the chief i the grey suit is the guy that played the banjo in the movie deliverance
@@cathcarttowershotel4988 yeah, i meant the guitar player that played the song dueling banjos in the movie. Its not elliot, its ronny cox, he is the one that falls out of the boat and no one knows why
5:48
That's Mike from Breaking Bad back when he had hair!
It's one awesome movie I own it in my collection I watch it every so often when I really want to watch an interesting cop movie with sarcasm LOL you should definitely watch Beverly hills cop 2 it gets quite interesting the dynamic between characters and everything
You simply HAVE to do one on the Last Samurai (2003). If you haven't seen it yet, it will absolutely be an onion cutter for you :)
