Eddie Murphy is the "Beverly Hills Cop" again
With a budget of 15 Million US-Dollars, a small action-comedy titled "Beverly Hills Cop" was released in cinemas in 1984, which eventually grossed 316 Million US-Dollars. For the then 23-year-old Eddie Murphy, it was a breakthrough. Forty years later, the 63-year-old wants to know it again.
"Beverly Hills Cop," released in Germany with the addition: "I will solve the case no matter what," was a small sensation in cinemas in 1984. No one would have believed beforehand that this small cop comedy about a persistent police officer from Detroit who gets lost in sunny Beverly Hills would become the second most successful film of the 1984 cinema year, alongside "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."
After a good second and an embarrassing third part, cult comedian Eddie Murphy wants to know it again. Forty years after the first success, the fourth film has now been released. "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" - now streaming on Netflix - relies heavily on nostalgia. After two hours, the viewer has not seen anything really new, but they have also not been bored.
