Believe it or not, this movie was actually written for Sylvester Stallone. But he continued to rewrite the plot in order to make it more dark until the director just moved on to Eddie. Stallone continued with his version of the film which ultimately ended up being... the poster hanging right behind you guys! COBRA!!! True story
Woooah crazy!!
Cobra is a good movie.
It worked out for the best. Both are classics. Stalone wss supposed to play the Predator too.
It's funny because Ronny Cox is so good as the bad guy in "Robocop" and "Total Recall"
It's good to see him as a good guy in this film
Eddie Murphy is SO comfortable in this role. Its really hard to imagine he was like 22 or 23 when this was filmed.
The same director (Martin Brest) also directed Midnight Run, starring Robert Deniro, Charles Grodin & John Ashton (Taggart in Bev Hills Cop). Its got a very similar humor/drama balance, and is a ton of fun. I highly recommend checking it out. 😀
"I'M MOSELY!" 😂 But don't forget about Scent of a Woman!
...and 40 yrs later he's still a detective. Ain't life a bitch.
This was the Golden Age of Eddie Murphy.
One of the classic GenX VHS go-to selections......and some of the most 80s-est music that the 80s ever 80-ed.....
i cannot believe that the cowboys drought continues. it's crazy.
As a Cowboys fan, I can believe it 🤠
Fun fact that changed 80's movie history.
Ghostbusters was written by Dan Akroyd. It was going to feature John Belushi and Eddie Murphy. Belushi died and they rewrote the role for Bill Murray. Eddie was to play the Winston character and that character was going to have a larger role. Stallone was offered Beverly Hills Cop and turned it down. They approached and got Eddie Murphy and changed the script.
Two of the biggest movies of the 80's could have been completely different.
Unlicensed AI challenged accepted!
Stallone didnt turn it down, he was basically kicked off it after wanting to make too many changes to the script to make it less of an action-comedy and more straight action. That changed script of course ended up becoming Cobra
Axel Foley's boss, Inspector Todd, was played by Inspector Gilbert Hill of the Detroit police department - the real deal. Hill was later a city councilman and ran for mayor. The casting people discovered him when they were scouting. (He wanted everyone to know that in real life, he didn't yell at his subordinates and seldom swore.)
2:05 I have never seen a vehicle stunt sequence that impressed me more. It still impresses me to this day.
For the hotel - $235 back then would be about 700 bucks (a night) currently.
11:00 "Wait a second, this is the police station?"
Beverly Hills is it's own city, it's not part of Los Angeles, and by itself, it's not that big. That building is Beverly Hills City Hall, which houses the Mayor's office, the city court, *and* the police department.
The whole script is written around
The scenes where Eddie Murphy can shine. He was at the top of his game during this period.
18:47 -- John Ashton legit hiding his face because Eddie was improvising this on the spot, and he (Ashton) was about to start laughing.
Beverly Hills Cop 2 is equally as good. Besides, there's a scene featuring similar decor to your background. Let's just say, you and Billy Rosewood have similar taste in movies.
I chuckled when I noticed their decor...foreshadowing.
Ha I just realized that.
Eehhhhhhh....disagree. Part 2 is OK, but definitely not on the level of part 1.
The bad guys 2nd in charge is Mike from breaking bad with hair and younger
Another great reaction, I’m old enough to remember when these movies were released. I had a friend who’s dad managed a movie theater in the next town over so saw a few films back in the eighties . 😊👏👏🥰
very fitting that you have a Cobra poster in the background for this
Sarah at 1:58 "My blow is covered" LOL
missed that. ty. 😋
Great reaction as always! Eddie Murphy is hilarious. 😂😂😂
3:56 dancing!!!
An early small performance for Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut) as a thug.
After the strip club, the super cop speech was improv you can see thr actors starting to laugh in the scene.
Please continue with Eddies early movies, and don’t skip the Golden Child
7:50 $235 in 1984 is approx $700 today (2024). 😵
It was common knowledge, after #3 came out, that the first one struck a nice balance with the comedy and action. The consensus was that 2 and 3 leaned too heavily in one direction and then the other, making them not quite as good, and a little lopsided. Shifting from lighthearted to danger and then back again, more than once, is tricky to pull off for an entire movie.
One of the BEST movies out there and part two is as equally good as the first, if not better. Hell, all three movies are really good👍 Good show there. You two keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 😀
Billy ends up the quintessential baddass. Wait til the BHC2!!
The Harold Faltermeyer synth parts in this are timeless classics of the 80’s. He also composed the Top Gun Anthem which was played by Billy Idol’s guitarist, Steve Stevens, for Top Gun. Both are some of the first parts I memorized on keys and guitar, can still play them. Add in the Pointer Sisters and Glenn Frey songs and you get one banger of a soundtrack. It’s SO 1984.
Bronson Pinchot, that plays Serge in the art gallery, went on to play many, many parts in others. Perfect Strangers, the TV show, being one of his early hits but I think Langoliers is his best. That’s one not many react to, Langoliers and even OG The Stand.
Fun fact/mini-bio about Inspector Todd..........
Gilbert Roland Hill (November 5, 1931 - February 29, 2016) was an American politician, police officer, and actor, who was the President of the Detroit City Council. He gained recognition for his role as Inspector Todd in the Beverly Hills Cop film series. He was the runner-up in the 2001 Detroit mayoral election, losing to Kwame Kilpatrick.
The soundtrack was so popular at the time I had it on tape even though I was a little kid and hadn't seen the movie. I even learned the Axel F theme on piano.
Cool reaction as always Eric & Sarah, you both take care
You too Corey!
@@EricSarahReact 👌👍
RIP the watermelons lol
48 Hrs should be on your radar, but almost no one reacts to that. I don't know why.
First of all, you two are the cutest couple on the planet. :) Loved your reaction. This was such a great movie. Good cast, great classic 80's soundtrack. When I was in Germany years ago in college, I actually saw this in the theater, dubbed in German. If you think Eddie Murphy talks fast in English...LOL. It was a good thing I'd seen te movie already,I just wanted to try out watching a movie while I was there. The second movie was pretty good for a sequel, good enough for me to recommend, but I never saw the third.
PS - Sorry about your Cowboys; not a football fan, but as a baseball fan, I definitely understand your pain.
Lions fan here and so pumped from the win over the Rams, but now got the Buds with 2 healthy running backs that we didn't have it the first game as they were out.
Just love your reaction and part 2 is good, but 3 is bad...
Good luck in the playoffs!!
When I saw the poster behind you two, I laughed. Cobra is based on Beverly Hills Cop. Sylvester Stallone was offered Beverly Hills Cop. He wanted more action and less comedy, so he rewrote the script. The producers said no, auditioned several other actors, and settled on Eddie Murphy. Sylvester Stallone took his script and made Cobra.
Probably the rest of your life! The Axle Foley theme was played endlessly everywhere after BH Cop came out and I never tired of hearing it. That is supernatural!
Lets do it to it! I love this movie!!
A really fun reaction video I like the vibe you bot exude during the movie. It was even more special when I noticed that you had a Sylvester Stallone poster in the background from the movie Cobra!! What makes that great is Stallone was offered the Axe Foley role before Eddie Murphy. Sly turned it down and decided to rewrite the script, which became the movie Cobra.
3:54 Aside from this being one of the greatest Action/Comedies of all-time, the soundtrack is pure 80's Gold, particularly Axel F by Harold Faltemeyer (which was my favourite song for about a year back in junior high, and a tune with which I shall never grow weary). Cheers and Happy Weekend Y'all. 🥃☮❤
What a perfect timing lol!
All Cowboys fans deserve never-ending tears. Lol Just kidding. Well maybe 72.9652% kidding.
Great reaction to a great movie. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🤗
Billy has more fun in BH Cop II.
Zack the baddie is Mike from Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul (Jonathan Banks).
The actor who played Serge, Bronson Pinchot, got the lead in his own sitcom base on his performance in this movie.
Unforgiven (1992)
not that i want this to be the western channel. 🙂
BHC2 is another worthy film, almost as good as this one, but BHC3 was a total misfire and ought to be forgotten.
Good reaction, as always. And I gotta say, Eric you are a lucky man! Sarah is flat out gorgeous!!!
Apparently the director flipped a coin to decide whether to do this movie. Upon the popularity of it he framed and hung that quarter in his office. Eddie Murphy backed out of “Ghostbusters” to do this movie. 13:32 this is Damon Wayans first film. Originally they were going to have Axel sneak into the kitchen and grab a potato to stuff in the tailpipe but due to budget and scheduling they couldn’t do it so they used what was on hand (a banana). It was Murphy’s idea to use Wayans for the role which he is credited as “banana man”. 18:46 Eddie Murphy improvised the supercop routine. Ashton & Reinhold (Taggart & Rosewood) was trying hard not to laugh and wreck the scene. Ashton had his hand on his face trying to hide the laughter and Reinhold was pinching his thigh trying to keep from laughing. The filming of the scene was so taxing that Murphy was getting tired but declined coffee cause he didn’t want to take drugs of any kind. He finally gave in and took a few sips of coffee which made him very energized. Next thing you know the “Supercops” routine was born. 22:12 the rolled up paper in his hand is the script. He was given changes to the script just before shooting. 28:12 this scene was funny how it showed Billy’s “quirkiness” which they add to in the future ones. It’ll be interesting to see what they do in the fourth one that’s supposed to come out this year. 30:43 that’s the director behind the counter
its a toss up between Detroit and Cleveland..but Atlanta is there too along with Baltimore. lol. truck driver here-just my experience over 25 years. I HATE THAT SHARP-A$$ TURN ON I_90 in TOWN! lol
love it!
classic movie. nice to hear theres a new one comin 😎
Same guy who did the instrumental music for Beverly Hills Cop also did the main theme for Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick, Harold Faltermeyer. I got a movie reaction suggestion for you guys to react to it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
Ugh! You had to bring up the Cowboys game. I come to RUclips and watch reaction channels to forget about that frustrating team. LOL!
Check out “48 Hours” with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte from a few years before this one (Eddie’s first movie)
Great movie choice to react to. I can't wait until you guys watch the sequels...
There are 2 sequels with 4 on Netflix in March.
Great reaction guys to a comedy classic eddie murphys best i think
Cozy viiibes! :D
You guys reacting to this movie just in time, Beverly Hills Cop 4 come out this summer on Netflix
The sequels are great too
Plowboys fan, Eric??? Guess you've been avoiding all of the post-mortem sports talk the past few days. 😁
Canton Ohio here
The main villian did hit Foley on the shoulder when he shot him so he was ok at shooting
Chief Detroit Police not Actor his real Detroit cop!
I love bananas.
Fun movie, for sure. When Eddie gets good material, he's hard to beat - it's just a shame he's chosen so many highly questionable projects since. It is, however, also a kick in the pants to revisit Jonathan Banks from his earlier days (you HAVE seen Breaking Bad, right?). 😉
Great reaction. Please watch a show called Travelers next. Thanks.
15:55 OHIO!
Beverly Hills cop 4 is put or about to come out
Any Murphy's ad-libs most of his script It wasn't scripted
6 months….?!
Cowboys got SPANKED!!! Condolences...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My biggest question about this movie: How did THAT car make it to Beverly HIlls? 😂
BHC3 was terrible, they tried so hard to get away from the R rating that it really took away from the movie a lot I need to let that guy be who he is
Suites in cities can go from $3,000 to $25,000
$235 in 1984 is worth $693.80 today,
Cop II is amazing by Ridley Scott's brother Tony (Top Gun, Man on Fire) and is soooooo stylish and slick. Cop III is one of the worst movies ever made.
Beverly Hills Cops II is even better and you might want to do reaction on it. Sometimes we forget this movie is 40 years old and has aged well like several movies made during this time period.
The sequel is even better than this one.
don't waste your time on the other films - they're garbage
