FINALLY!!!! SOMEONE WHO RECOGNIZED BRONSON PINCHOT!!!! THANK YOU!! Balki Bartocamous in the flesh!! Now that we're so happy, we do the dance of joy!!!!
I was born in 1971, so I was able to experience the 80's and all those amazing 80's movies. Of all of Eddie Murphy's movies, Axel Foley is my favorite character he has played.
Inspector Todd was an actual police inspector who was originally brought in as an advisor for the role. He did so well they hired him to play the part. He is also in Beverly Hills Cop 2 and 3.
Gilbert R. Hill (Inspector Todd) kind of reminded me of Eddie's father who raised him, and how Eddie imitated him in his stand up comedy, specifically the one titled "Delirious", and a little bit on "Raw".
@@criminalcontent apparently his wild attitude with Axel was how he was when he did interrogations for Detroit PD. Not a man you would want to cross or make angry. Lol
This is one of those rare R rated comedies from the 80s where the lead actor and supporting actress don't go to bed. There are movies where that works, but it would have complicated everything. I really like Axel and Jenny's relationship. They're friends, and Axel is your standard young, horny guy, but they're not trying to sleep together. The movie keeps the focus where it belongs and it works to the movie's benefit.
$235 for a hotel suite was considered outrageously expensive back in the 80s. Axel's reaction to the price would've resulted in a big laugh in theaters at the time.
@@o0pinkdino0o which is funny because, $711 doesn't even seem like a ridiculous figure for a luxury hotel in today's market. however, back then, real estate (and therefore hotel or tourismprices) wasn't as overvalued as it is now.
The reason Bogomil had Taggart and Rosewood following Foley was because Foley was out of his jurisdiction, investigating a crime without the permission of local law enforcement. They couldn't just have him running around without authorization. Since there was no active investigation into Maitland at that point, all they had was a harassment complaint against Foley (as far as they knew he was the one in the wrong).
The large single police lights were standard through the 70s. The transition to the modern bar-type lights was early 1980s, so there was a mix of the old and new lights for several years. ;)
Bronson Pinchot was the actor who played Serge, whilst Zack was indeed played by Ehrmantraut actor Jonathan Banks. The actress playing Jenny, Axel's friend, is called Lisa Eilbacher. She has not appeared in a film for several years after retiring from the industry in the mid-1990s.
Can't believe Coby knew Bronson Pinchot. Every time I watch this movie with a reactor, I go into a long explanation of how he makes up these fake accents, which is his thing. I will say however that I'm prerty sure Bronson and Eddie improvised that scene in the gallery, which is why it was so funny. The back and forth was so quick and hilarious. Coby just knows too much! :)
Beverly Hills Cop was Eddie's first time being the main star on a film. Before this they paired him with other stars like Nick Nolte in 48 Hours and Dan Akroyd in Trading Places. From there he went on to do other great movies like The Golden Child, Coming To America, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, and The Nutty Professor 1&2. He had two standups that were great as well called Delirious and Raw. You should check out all of Eddie's work, he definitely was one of the biggest stars in the world when he was young.
@@JohnDAmico-ci2hz Yeah I’ve noticed most reactors do this though. They try and guess the ending in the first act or try and guess what’s going to happen in the next 5 minutes several times, or constantly trying to guess a twist. I suppose it’s just how some people watch films
@@alexp601I doubt that they do it when they watch something off camera. I'm sure most reactors do it because it would not be entertaining to watch someone quietly watching movies/shows.
The single red emergency lights on top of the Detroit cop cars were called "gum ball" lights, i.e., they resembled gum ball machines. They are still available but are smaller & more aerodynamic. If you enjoyed "Beverly Hills Cop" then you have to watch "48 Hrs." (1982)with Eddie Murphy & Nick Nolte.
That single light/siren on the police car is why Truckers called them "Bubblegum Machines" on the CB Radio. You can hear the reference in "Smokey & the Bandit". Your ringtone was "Axle Foley's Theme"
I remember hearing that, a few friends were truckers. The single light vs light bar seemed to be a regional/financial thing. They all started out single light (or bubblegum machines) and later transitioned to the light bar. Depending on how well the local PD or sheriff's office was doing probably determined how quickly they made the change. The ones they have now are almost indistinguishable from a luggage rack.
Axel using the alias "Richard James" is a nod to '80s Funk/R&B icon Rick James, who was writer and producer of Murphy's 1985 Pop/Funk album "How Could It Be," which included the hit single, "Party All the Time." Also, the entire dialogue about the parking tickets was improvised by Murphy and Gottfried. Dean Stockwell (Cain) also played Al Calavicci on Quantum Leap.

These kinds of movies is always a great watch. Even 30-40 years later. I chuckled whenever you said "maybe it doesnt hold up" before you started watching 😁
YES!! One of the funniest action comedy movies ever made! Originally, Sylvester Stallone was going to star in the film and even did rewrites to the script, as he wanted the film to be darker, violent and more action packed. When Paramount executives read the script, it was rejected and Stallone turned his script into the 1986 action thriller COBRA.
This is how most Eddie Murphy performances were in the 1980s, which cemented his stardom. I don’t know why he became sillier and louder later in his career.
Gil Hill, who played Inspector Todd, was the Inspector in charge of the Homicide Division in Detroit during these two films. He had risen to national prominence through his ability to obtain confessions, as well as his participation in the task force investigating the Atlanta child murders eventually linked to Wayne Williams. After he retired, he moved into politics, becoming a councilman and having an unsuccessful mayoral run. In 2016, an allegation was made by a former hit man that Hill had tried to pay him $125,000 to kill drug dealer and FBI informant "White Boy Rick" Wersche, Jr. to avoid uncovering corruption in the Detroit PD, detailed in the documentary "White Boy".
So you mean to tell me that the reason everyone thinks Bogomil is corrupt in the first movie wasn't even a valid argument at the time? That's hilarious. 😂
I can't believe you didn't mention the Eddie/Surge moment when he said 'get the fuck out of here" and Serge said "no i cannoooooot." Best character in this movie easily.
I was born in 1955 and you're right, growing up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s was a blast. These days pretty much suck, but decades ago we had so much more autonomy and fun. The Detroit cop cars had the obsolete gumball Mars lights but of course the Beverly Hills cops had the latest light bars on theirs.

Or Criminal content please have her in so many more videos. You guys have one of the greatest hosts I've ever seen for movie watch alongs and I watch alot of these reactors. God I love her personality she's so good
this is the Coby channel - in terms of, the movies here are right down her alley - she and Nicolette are the only ones now - if one has seen a quality film, maybe the other one hasn’t
I love the soundtrack in this film. Not just Harold Faltermeyer's _Axel F_ and _Stakeout_ but also the likes of Glenn Frey's The Heat Is On, Patti LaBelle's _Stir It Up_ and Pointer Sisters' Neutron Dance.
I used to have a big crew of friends I used to hang out with at an ice house. This one dude, Everytime he saw me, gave me drunk Eddie routine," Phil...Phil, u changed man!"
Great video Coby and love your reactions to everything in this one. Glad to see you enjoyed both the films and hope your birthday was a good one....not the getting old part though😂. Look forward to the next one👍.
Axel does try to confuse people, but sometimes he tries to embarrass them instead, with the goal of making them willing to do basically anything to get out of the situation.
Favorite fun fact I read about the 1st movie is that at 21:36 Eddie Murphy adlibs the "supercop" story and the actor playing Taggart can't hold in his laugh & has to put his head down to try and cover up his laughter. And yes that was Damon Wayans ( funny how as a kid watching this, his small roll & the small role of Balky were one's we remembered & frequently quoted or just laughed at hysterically.....especially Balky's sqeaky response to Axel's "Git tha fuk outta here"😂🤣😂)
Dude is on SNL as a teen! Then his first 3 movies are trading Places, 48 hours and this! 😮😮 Three of the best of all time! And really though, 48 hours changed everything. Music, violence comedy, racism and racist jokes, buddy cop style movies. Also the art assistant in True Romance, all 3 Beverly hills cop, Risky Business, and one of the funniest TV shows ever, Perfect Strangers! Type tv show perfect strangers in here! He was a hugely underrated actor and comedian!!
I'm gonna say this right now. I love all 3 Beverly Hills Cop movies! Yes, even the third one. I don't care, and I have no regrets saying it. Can't wait for the new movie!
10:25 "I don't know the actor's name, but I used to watch the show called Perfect Strangers..." YES! That's Bronson Pinchot. My family loved that show. My younger sister was a toddler at the time and she named her stuffed sheep, 'Dimitri' after Balki's Dimitri 😂😂😂
For the second one, the got the thing with the superglue sort of right. It takes about 24 hours to reveal the prints. The were spot on with how to make casing for the .44 auto-mag. you cut down .308 casings to the right length. There a few more steps to make them work, but the basics were right.
I absolutely loved growing up in the 80's. It was awesome. Different tmes better and more relaxed for sure. Im 51 now but bering younger in the 80's was freakn awesome i learned how to break dance. Rollr skating was a must and skate boards were on a whole new level. Plus the cars in that timw were more sexier. IYKYK
I thought had a zipper jacket like Michael. Oh and Michael Jordan came out with Air Jordans black and red or white and red. I chose black and red ones. Beautiful time to grow up. There was less division back then. Happier time and gas was 70 cents a gallon.
And we as younger folk always said the phrase " Not gonna fall for the banana in the tail pipe" and those who know the phrase "ICEREAM" know where that came from. Lol
fun fact the public/trucker slang for the big single red or blue light on top of the cop cars back then were called Bubble Gum Ball Lights...because they looked like/resembled a Bubble Gum Machine.
I LOVE that Coby is a Quantum Leap fan who can notice that...😋 Yet, it also reveals she's never seen the remake of Battlestar Galactica, because if she had, that would likely have been the reference she'd used about him...😋
The credit card supplier was also in "Eraser" (1996) w/ Arnold Schwarzenegger and "Striking Distance" (1993) w/ Bruce Willis Lt. Bogomil was also in "Total Recall" (1990) and "Robocop" (1987) The actor playing gun dealer Thomopolous later was a regular as Captain Brass on the TV show "CSI", where they superglue fingerprints every other episode. Another good Eddie Murphy movie: "48 Hrs." (1982) w/ Nick Nolte
21:40 If you look carefully you'll see what I spotted: Taggart seemingly wincing but in fact the actor John Ashton is laughing uncontrollably! (Judge Reinhold was pinching himself throughout the Supercop speech to avoid corpsing the way poor John did.)
The soundtracks for BHC 1 and 2 are sensational. The old cop cars with the single red globe were sometimes called Cherry Top, or Bubblegum Machine on CB radio to tip motorists what on-coming traffic could expect.
Just recently in Beverly Hills California they made June 20th “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” Day. Eddie Judge John joined Jerry this day. The fourth installment of Beverly Hills cop starts on Netflix on July 3 2024.
It's fun seeing you recognize 80s celebs. Balki, Mike from breaking bad, Damon Wayans. I just noticed the other day Mike(BB don't know his name) has a small part in 'Airplane!'. I saw this movie in the theater. I met Eddie, when he came to town in 86 for a tour. That tour was later the movie RAW. I got his autograph and still have it on a backstage pass from when I was 13.
Mikey's death really hits people in how unflinchingly the cold-blooded murder was shown. The first movie was at the forefront of pop culture at the time, from the soundtrack to happening at the right time in Eddie Murphy's career, in a year that was heavy with pop music in soundtracks and in the mainstream. It came a year after the "Thriller" video while MTV was expanding, "Footloose," Ghostbusters, Purple Rain, and the beginning of "Miami Vice". The style of the sequel is a result of how impactful "Top Gun" was. Producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer clearly wanted Tony Scott to do what he did with "Top Gun." Being a baby boomer in the 1980s might have some perks, but you might have a better appreciation of the 1980s had you been younger and without adult responsibilities, like born in the late 1970s. It was excellent for kids regarding toys, arcades and video games, the thrill of early MTV, cartoons, and kids movies.
Those old gumball lights were around on police cars from the '40s and stuck around in most departments until the '60s or '70s, when light bars became far more common. Some agencies stuck with them for reasons of tradition, lower drag, and lower maintenance costs.
Someone probably already covered this but that guy Dean Stockwell did play as Al. Who is Dr. Sam Beckett's (Scott Backula's) assistant friend on Quantum leap. Not only that but the guy his character is working for was on the 1980s dune with him. Both in house Atreides together.
The film was originally intended for Sylvester Stallone. I presume most of the comedy parts were added after the change to Eddie Murphy. And yes, that was Damon Wayans first big movie part. Again fun watch. thanks :-)
Eddie Murphy was supposed to be in Ghostbusters, but turned it down to do Beverly Hills Cop, after it was rewritten after Sylvester Stallone turned it down.
If you can check out an episode of the police drama Adam-12 that ran from 1968 to 1975 you will see the LA police cars at that time had a siren in the middle of the roof and two red lights. Rotating lights had been around for 20 years by then but different departments adopt improvements at their own pace.
Growing Up In The 80's This Film Is Utterly Brilliant No One Could Have Played Axel Foley Better Than Eddie Murphy please check out Eddie Murphy in 48hrs Another Fantastic Film Glad You Enjoyed These 2 Great Films
The blonde chick in II was with Flava Flave on Flava of Love and Celebrity Rehab. She was also in Cobra with Stallone and was married to him. My favorite movie with her is with Schwarzenegger in Red Sonja.
1:06:10 -- RE: Dean Stockwell "The Quantum Leap guy"; Seems to me the most likely thing you'd recognize him from post 2001 would be the reboot of "Battlestar Galactica", and he was one of the Cylons. Also, his Boss in this film is portrayed by Jurgen Prochnow, so if you haven't seen the OG "Das Boot", now is the time to put it on the List.
Gil Hill, who played Inspector Todd, was a real-life police inspector at the time, although he didn't swear nearly as much as his character! Gil passed away in 2016.
Police lights back then had one bulb that stayed on all the time. There was a reflector inside the dome that spun around like a really fast lighthouse. From any one spot, it just flashed, but if you looked at it on the buildings around, you could see it move. Murphy's first movie was 48 Hours. It was a sort for Buddy Cop action comedy that would be great for this channel. It has one iconic line that still gets said. As a teen when this movie came out, you were almost legally bound to know how to play that ringtone songs on the keyboard at the music store in the mall. His friend was Lisa Eilbacher, who had a big role in An Officer and a Gentleman. The coffee things is not accurate.
Your ringtone is called “Axel F”. It was composed by Harold Faltermyer as Axel Foley’s theme and is part of every BHC movie soundtrack . And it is now my ringtone as well. 😁 These movies have the best soundtracks from the 80’s. Great music from amazing artists. They also have some of the best car chase scenes as well. These movies were peak 80’s. 👍🏻
Fun fact; the Michigan State Troopers still have the big red ‘cherry’ trash can on top of their cruisers, but the Detroit Cops shifted to light bars years ago.
30:49 The song is called _Axel F._ I heard it the first time when I was a kid. I loved it _instantly._ I had no idea what it was called and I did not know a _thing_ about the movie.
Ah, the 80’s. This came out when I was in the 7th grade and me and a friend went to see it without any parent or guardian and they let us in no problem. The most absurd memory was being allowed to see Halloween in a double feature with no supervision and I couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8; I went with my older brothers who were 4to 5 years older
Coby + Eddie Rounds 1 & 2 ! Enjoy !

Mine was 1987 but I experienced lots of the 80s movies as well, they were still 'fresh' in the 90s, if that makes sense.
Not all films were great back then but I envy you the music.... nothing like the 80s
10:02 the funny thing about this moment is that he wears very similar outfits for his 'Delirious' and 'Raw' stand up specials from the 80s.
Inspector Todd was an actual police inspector who was originally brought in as an advisor for the role. He did so well they hired him to play the part.
He is also in Beverly Hills Cop 2 and 3.

Having a grumpy shouty police chief is such an 80s trope.

Coby does beverly hills cop yayyyyyy my fav eddie murpby movie great reaction bring on 2 and 3 Big thumbs up
I love the soundtrack in this film. Not just Harold Faltermeyer's _Axel F_ and _Stakeout_ but also the likes of Glenn Frey's The Heat Is On, Patti LaBelle's _Stir It Up_ and Pointer Sisters' Neutron Dance.
I loved Harold Faltermeyer's sound in the 80's. He's the keyboardist on Billy Idol's "Whiplash Smile". My favorite song is "To Be a Lover".
Back in the 80's when aerobics was popular several tunes from the soundtrack were what we all exercised to.
I used to have a big crew of friends I used to hang out with at an ice house. This one dude, Everytime he saw me, gave me drunk Eddie routine," Phil...Phil, u changed man!"
Great video Coby and love your reactions to everything in this one. Glad to see you enjoyed both the films and hope your birthday was a good one....not the getting old part though😂. Look forward to the next one👍.
Thanks so much!!
Axel does try to confuse people, but sometimes he tries to embarrass them instead, with the goal of making them willing to do basically anything to get out of the situation.
I love some of the long shots they do in this & Eddie’s laugh as Axyl Is just so great lol
Born in 1979. I can tell you the 80’s where awesome for all ages. :-)
Right on!
Watch Eddie Murphy in The Golden Child.....it's classic Eddie. 😁
I LOVE the 80s too it was my teen years ! 🤪MISS those years !😏
Am still listening to the music .... hehehe
21:35: If you look closely, John Ashton (Taggart) was trying hard not to laugh about the “supercop” story.
Favorite fun fact I read about the 1st movie is that at 21:36 Eddie Murphy adlibs the "supercop" story and the actor playing Taggart can't hold in his laugh & has to put his head down to try and cover up his laughter.
And yes that was Damon Wayans ( funny how as a kid watching this, his small roll & the small role of Balky were one's we remembered & frequently quoted or just laughed at hysterically.....especially Balky's sqeaky response to Axel's "Git tha fuk outta here"😂🤣😂)
Coby fanclub checking in! She's so pretty! 😍
Eddie’s charisma on film was undeniable…in this and 48 hrs with Nick Notle.
Dude is on SNL as a teen! Then his first 3 movies are trading Places, 48 hours and this! 😮😮 Three of the best of all time! And really though, 48 hours changed everything. Music, violence comedy, racism and racist jokes, buddy cop style movies. Also the art assistant in True Romance, all 3 Beverly hills cop, Risky Business, and one of the funniest TV shows ever, Perfect Strangers! Type tv show perfect strangers in here! He was a hugely underrated actor and comedian!!
😂
I'm gonna say this right now. I love all 3 Beverly Hills Cop movies! Yes, even the third one. I don't care, and
I have no regrets saying it. Can't wait for the new movie!
10:25 "I don't know the actor's name, but I used to watch the show called Perfect Strangers..."
YES! That's Bronson Pinchot. My family loved that show. My younger sister was a toddler at the time and she named her stuffed sheep, 'Dimitri' after Balki's Dimitri 😂😂😂
For the second one, the got the thing with the superglue sort of right. It takes about 24 hours to reveal the prints.
The were spot on with how to make casing for the .44 auto-mag. you cut down .308 casings to the right length. There a few more steps to make them work, but the basics were right.
I absolutely loved growing up in the 80's. It was awesome. Different tmes better and more relaxed for sure. Im 51 now but bering younger in the 80's was freakn awesome i learned how to break dance. Rollr skating was a must and skate boards were on a whole new level. Plus the cars in that timw were more sexier. IYKYK
I thought had a zipper jacket like Michael. Oh and Michael Jordan came out with Air Jordans black and red or white and red. I chose black and red ones. Beautiful time to grow up. There was less division back then. Happier time and gas was 70 cents a gallon.
These were also the years of Delirious, Eddie Murphy comedy. Ronchy and awesome lol
And we as younger folk always said the phrase " Not gonna fall for the banana in the tail pipe" and those who know the phrase "ICEREAM" know where that came from. Lol
fun fact the public/trucker slang for the big single red or blue light on top of the cop cars back then were called Bubble Gum Ball Lights...because they looked like/resembled a Bubble Gum Machine.
You are correct the actor Dean Stockwell was on "Quantum Leap"
I LOVE that Coby is a Quantum Leap fan who can notice that...😋
Yet, it also reveals she's never seen the remake of Battlestar Galactica, because if she had, that would likely have been the reference she'd used about him...😋
Someone else finally recognized my man from the show perfect strangers! “Don’t be riddigulous!” 😂
The credit card supplier was also in "Eraser" (1996) w/ Arnold Schwarzenegger and "Striking Distance" (1993) w/ Bruce Willis
Lt. Bogomil was also in "Total Recall" (1990) and "Robocop" (1987)
The actor playing gun dealer Thomopolous later was a regular as Captain Brass on the TV show "CSI", where they superglue fingerprints every other episode.
Another good Eddie Murphy movie:
"48 Hrs." (1982) w/ Nick Nolte
21:40 If you look carefully you'll see what I spotted: Taggart seemingly wincing but in fact the actor John Ashton is laughing uncontrollably! (Judge Reinhold was pinching himself throughout the Supercop speech to avoid corpsing the way poor John did.)
The soundtracks for BHC 1 and 2 are sensational. The old cop cars with the single red globe were sometimes called Cherry Top, or Bubblegum Machine on CB radio to tip motorists what on-coming traffic could expect.
Just recently in Beverly Hills California they made June 20th “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” Day. Eddie Judge John joined Jerry this day. The fourth installment of Beverly Hills cop starts on Netflix on July 3 2024.
I think The Blues Brothers movie holds the record for crashed cars in one movie.
It's fun seeing you recognize 80s celebs. Balki, Mike from breaking bad, Damon Wayans. I just noticed the other day Mike(BB don't know his name) has a small part in 'Airplane!'. I saw this movie in the theater. I met Eddie, when he came to town in 86 for a tour. That tour was later the movie RAW. I got his autograph and still have it on a backstage pass from when I was 13.
Jonathan Banks is the actor who played Mike from Breaking Bad.
One of Daman Wayans first appearances in anything.
Victor Maitland played in Rambo 2 as the Russian boss. Yes that was Damon Wayons giving him the bananas. He also played in the movie Colors.
Your note about the pacing of movies is so on point.
Mikey's death really hits people in how unflinchingly the cold-blooded murder was shown.
The first movie was at the forefront of pop culture at the time, from the soundtrack to happening at the right time in Eddie Murphy's career, in a year that was heavy with pop music in soundtracks and in the mainstream. It came a year after the "Thriller" video while MTV was expanding, "Footloose," Ghostbusters, Purple Rain, and the beginning of "Miami Vice".
The style of the sequel is a result of how impactful "Top Gun" was. Producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer clearly wanted Tony Scott to do what he did with "Top Gun."
Being a baby boomer in the 1980s might have some perks, but you might have a better appreciation of the 1980s had you been younger and without adult responsibilities, like born in the late 1970s. It was excellent for kids regarding toys, arcades and video games, the thrill of early MTV, cartoons, and kids movies.
Mikey's death really got me. The sense of helplessness. One of the most chilling deaths I've seen on screen.
Those old gumball lights were around on police cars from the '40s and stuck around in most departments until the '60s or '70s, when light bars became far more common. Some agencies stuck with them for reasons of tradition, lower drag, and lower maintenance costs.
They still have those lights in Michigan
This movie always brings such nostalgia!
Someone probably already covered this but that guy Dean Stockwell did play as Al. Who is Dr. Sam Beckett's (Scott Backula's) assistant friend on Quantum leap. Not only that but the guy his character is working for was on the 1980s dune with him. Both in house Atreides together.
The film was originally intended for Sylvester Stallone. I presume most of the comedy parts were added after the change to Eddie Murphy. And yes, that was Damon Wayans first big movie part. Again fun watch. thanks :-)
Eddie Murphy was supposed to be in Ghostbusters, but turned it down to do Beverly Hills Cop, after it was rewritten after Sylvester Stallone turned it down.
Wow i didnt know the stallone part😂
@@okocha7914There’s a Stallone nod in BHC II.
My first time finding your channel and first impressions you are as sharp as a whip and I love your eye brows. I will be a new subscriber❤.
Welcome!!
Thank you
If you can check out an episode of the police drama Adam-12 that ran from 1968 to 1975 you will see the LA police cars at that time had a siren in the middle of the roof and two red lights. Rotating lights had been around for 20 years by then but different departments adopt improvements at their own pace.
Coby reactions RULE ! ❤❤❤
thanks !!
Coby Rules
"He is a cop!" Eddie Murphy is the lead and the movie is called Beverly Hills Cop. Nothing gets by you Coby! 🤣👌
Growing Up In The 80's This Film Is Utterly Brilliant No One Could Have Played Axel Foley Better Than Eddie Murphy please check out Eddie Murphy in 48hrs Another Fantastic Film Glad You Enjoyed These 2 Great Films
The blonde chick in II was with Flava Flave on Flava of Love and Celebrity Rehab. She was also in Cobra with Stallone and was married to him. My favorite movie with her is with Schwarzenegger in Red Sonja.
2 down, 2 to go.
I love that by the second movie, Axel's fishing buddies with the cops in Beverly Hills.
Love your smile Coby!! Can't wait to watch your Lethal Weapon and Matrix reaction!
At this time, Eddie Murphy was bigger than Michael Jackson. Number 1 Standup, box office star, SNL, and he even put out a hit song.
party all the time baby
1:06:10 -- RE: Dean Stockwell "The Quantum Leap guy"; Seems to me the most likely thing you'd recognize him from post 2001 would be the reboot of "Battlestar Galactica", and he was one of the Cylons. Also, his Boss in this film is portrayed by Jurgen Prochnow, so if you haven't seen the OG "Das Boot", now is the time to put it on the List.
Happy 40th Anniversary To One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's, Beverly Hills Cop
Gil Hill, who played Inspector Todd, was a real-life police inspector at the time, although he didn't swear nearly as much as his character! Gil passed away in 2016.
Police lights back then had one bulb that stayed on all the time. There was a reflector inside the dome that spun around like a really fast lighthouse. From any one spot, it just flashed, but if you looked at it on the buildings around, you could see it move.
Murphy's first movie was 48 Hours. It was a sort for Buddy Cop action comedy that would be great for this channel. It has one iconic line that still gets said.
As a teen when this movie came out, you were almost legally bound to know how to play that ringtone songs on the keyboard at the music store in the mall.
His friend was Lisa Eilbacher, who had a big role in An Officer and a Gentleman.
The coffee things is not accurate.
Your ringtone is called “Axel F”. It was composed by Harold Faltermyer as Axel Foley’s theme and is part of every BHC movie soundtrack . And it is now my ringtone as well. 😁
These movies have the best soundtracks from the 80’s. Great music from amazing artists. They also have some of the best car chase scenes as well. These movies were peak 80’s. 👍🏻
20:43 😄Scenes like this give the impression Eddie Murphy is probably a _lot_ of fun to hang out with.
The injured cop played Cohaagen in Total Recall (1990) starring Arnold.
Fun fact; the Michigan State Troopers still have the big red ‘cherry’ trash can on top of their cruisers, but the Detroit Cops shifted to light bars years ago.
30:49 The song is called _Axel F._ I heard it the first time when I was a kid. I loved it _instantly._ I had no idea what it was called and I did not know a _thing_ about the movie.
Coby is of my generation who grew up with the Axel F theme song being associated with Beverly Hills Cop and not some frog thing.
Ah, the 80’s. This came out when I was in the 7th grade and me and a friend went to see it without any parent or guardian and they let us in no problem. The most absurd memory was being allowed to see Halloween in a double feature with no supervision and I couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8; I went with my older brothers who were 4to 5 years older
