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."
