Sadly he changes his laugh in the 4th one. He got self conscious about it.

Celeste McAllister🍓

You got to have a look at SNL-Eddie Murphy 'Mr.Robinson's neighborhood' 🖖😎🍿

Wes

Banana time! 😂

Above Average Dave

"This is how we answer the door in Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood..."

Andrew R

BHC II next please!

Samuel Champ

Favorite Eddie Murphy film, along with 48 Hrs.

Philip Alan

I'm so happy you finally watched Eddie Murphy at his best. He lost something (his genuine, authentic & charming type of acting) somewhere around Boomerang. And he hasn't been the same since, IMO. The Nutty Professor movies were totally fun and entertaining, don't get me wrong, but his acting in these 80s films were some of his best work, IMO. Please watch part 2 tomorrow. kthanksbye!

LittleGalaxyBoy

Fun little Eddie Murphy fact: He's actually a really good singer, too. "Party All the Time" (1985) is a song by Eddie Murphy, written and produced by Rick James. It was released just a year after Beverly Hill Cop. I'm not sure how everyone else was introduced to this song, but I first heard it thanks to Grand Theft Auto V (2013), since it played on the in-game radio. I had no idea it was the same Eddie Murphy until I looked it up! Speaking of music. The theme for Beverly Hill Cop "Axel F" was composed by Harold Faltermeyer, who also did the soundtrack for The Running Man (1987), along with the Top Gun Anthem for Top Gun, among other's as well. The Running Man being a personal favourite soundtrack of mine. Everyone has sampled or covered Axel F, including Crazy Frog, which is probably how I first heard the song growing up. That music video is burned into my memory as a wee 2000s baby. I'm pretty sure Danny Elfman, composer for almost all Tim Burton films (including Batman ’89 and Returns), as well as the Sam Rami's Spider-Man trilogy and frontman for the '80s band Oingo Boingo, also did some work on the movie's soundtrack as well. Can't forget his Pee-wee's Big Adventure soundtrack as well, Elfman's influence seems to be everywhere.

Just Plain Bob

Cassie, please feel free to take your time before watching BHC 2. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I’d suggest waiting many months, even years. Maybe pencil it in for 2055. I should be dead by then.

Shehab Dawoud

Glad you liked it! John Ashton who played Taggart just passed away recently, shortly after doing the 4th Cop movie. Another buddy cop (esque) movie he's in that you'd really like is Midnight Run (1988)! It's been highly requested, so I hope and think it'll happen soon. Also hope we can get to Rush Hour some time this year.

JohnnyUtah

My night is complete! I actually do like part II more, I think it's funnier. Also has anyone mentioned how this script was originally written with Sylvester Stallone in mind, however he wanted it more hard-core action. In comes Murphy and comedic gold. Subsequently Stallone used that idea he had for Cobra another fave of mine.

Dan M

Is Beverly Hills Cop good enough to watch twice in one weekend? Hell yes! Loved the live watch along, I had a lot of fun. So I’ll be closing out my weekend with a re-watch. The Heat is On…again!

Björn Karlsson

Nice Cassie 😃 Now do Wargames, Who framed Roger rabbit? and The blues brothers. 😉😉😉

Bill Maurer

Loved BHC. Second one was good, but nothing like the first one. Still say 48 hrs is Eddie's best and funniest movie 🍿.

Larry Darrell

The blend between Drama, Action and Comedy is perfect in Beverly Hills Cop. Eddie Murphy’s performance was terrific and he had a natural quality about him that seemed to make the Axel Foley character believable. Not many actors could pull off the “Ramone” bit and then 10 seconds later be believable as a calm, cool and collected Badass. This Badass persona was first seen in Murphy’s film debut 2 years earlier, when he was just 21 years old… 48 Hrs. (1982), an Action Comedy, starring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. A lot of the success and genre melding of Beverly Hills Cop has to also be attributed to the director, Martin Brest. You’ve already seen 2 of his films… Scent of a Woman (1992) & Meet Joe Black (1998), which had some genre melding going on as well. Two more important Martin Brest films to see are… Going in Style (1979), a “Grumpy Old Men” type of Comedy Heist film, starring George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg. & Midnight Run (1988), another Action Comedy in the “Beverly Hills Cop” style, starring Robert DeNiro, Charles Grodin and John Ashton. PS: I’m down with watching Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), which was directed by Tony Scott, who also directed… Top Gun (1986) Days of Thunder (1990) True Romance (1993) Crimson Tide (1995) Enemy of the State (1998) Man on Fire (2004) Deja Vu (2006) Unstoppable (2010) All seen by you. (According to your Letterboxd ;-) Tony Scott also directed some other films that you haven’t seen, which I’m sure you will love, including… Spy Game (2001), a Spy Thriller starring Brad Pitt and Robert Redford. So yeah… Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) is in pretty good company. :-)

K, Zachary

We were on our way back from the Cubs game on Friday and we were racing to get back. We knew you watching this. My friends tried to get on our tablet. Through our Wi-fi connect I couldn't remember my login. My friend asked what's she watching? BH Cop I told him. He was like not part 2? We almost got started but knowing we would be laughing so hard we would have to pull over we got shut down. BH Cop II I am telling you. Every time we think about it we are laughing so hard we are crying.

Doc Larry/old geezer

This extra butter Live was so much fun. I like the new format, watching it on Patreon instead of going through YouTube.

Rick Williams

Cassie you are going to make me watch this again because I can't resist. You are to good.

Clay F

You liked Eddie Murphy’s demeanor and his adopted buddies Billy and Taggart. So did I. I liked the movie better than I remember. I am glad you liked it. Eddie Murphy is a comedic genius. 48 Hrs. (1982) If you want another 80’s Murphy movie, react to 48 Hrs. (1982) [RT=92%]. His first movie. 2 years before BHC. My favorite Eddie Murphy 80s movie after Trading Places. Admittedly, I have nostalgia. My friends and I at 19 in 1982 loved 48 Hrs. A more noir feel than BHC. Great interaction w/his ‘buddy’ (a cop) played by Nick Nolte (e.g., the dad in Cape Fear). One of the most commercially successful films of 1982. Received widespread acclaim from critics. Murphy received Golden Globe nomination for New Star of the Year. BHC Sequels Skip the BHC sequels (cash grabs). You said you want more of Billy and Taggart, but the sequels are not worth it. If you must, do BHC2, but for the love of God and all that is holy, please skip BHC3 which is horrible. IMDB 7.4, RT 82%, RT Audience 82% -- BHC (1984) IMDB 6.6, RT 48%, RT Audience 58% -- BHC2 (1987) IMDB 5.5, RT 11%, RT Audience 35% -- BHC3 (1994) Rank at popcornrequests. --48 Hrs. (1982) – No. 117 --BHC2 – No. 156 --BHC3 – No. 1931

Cole Jennett

I watched 48 hours a few years back, and I don’t think it will give Cassie the same vibes. It was more serious, less comedy, and I thought Nick Nolte was kinda unlikable in it. I felt it was definitely more dated than BHC. I don’t see it going nearly so well.

Cole Jennett

I’m not sure why, but 48 hours didn’t work for me. I had expected it to be much funnier when I watched it a few years ago.

Brian's Dog

This is the first watch where I noticed a DeLorean out in front of Victor's house halfway through.

Justin S.

48 Hrs. may not be as fun as Beverly Hills Cop but it's definitely a strong film and one of Eddie Murphy's best films. Nick Nolte is very good as well and his character gets better as the film goes along. Also, I thought the Beverly Hills Cop sequels were decent, especially the second one. The third one is definitely the weakest but it has its moments. I didn't think it was terrible.

Brett John Chase

There is something special about Murphy. BHC isn’t my fav however, the dining table scene with all his characters in the nutty professor still ranks as the funniest thing Ive ever seen.

Clay F

Nick Nolte is absolutely awesome in 48 Hrs. Great chemistry between Nolte and Murphy. I am not sure how much she would like 48 Hrs but there is some underlying sweetness -- and her liking the movie is not my No. 1 criterion. She would like the Nick Nolte character as the movie goes along -- she would definitelly like his arc. The movie being more serious than BHC is a breath of fresh air -- but 48 Hrs. is a comedy. Both 48 Hrs. and BHC are dated. I agree w/the popcornrequests ranking of 48 Hrs. higher than BHC2 and way higher than BHC3.

Clay F

Eddie Murphy early standup (profane, popular, groundbreaking -- could be offensive to some) was awesome: --DELIRIOUS (1983). The album release won Best Comedy Album at the 1984 Grammy Awards. Used the words f*ck 230 times and shit 171 times. In 1996, he released a statement apologizing for his use of the word f*ggot. You can watch DELIRIOUS (1983) for free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe3aTHXj7u4 --RAW (1987). The highest-grossing stand-up comedy concert film ever released, making $50.5 million in the United States and Canada.

Cole Jennett

Oh sure, I think she will come around on his character some. He’s absolutely awful at the start isn’t he? Nowhere to go but up really. Maybe I’m misremembering but he starts out fairly racist if I remember correctly.

TheSingulatarian

Two other movies you would like. "Bowfinger" (1999) with Murphy and Steve Martin. Running Scared (1986) Buddy Cop film with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.

MikeLL

You see Cassie, this was a really good movie. So glad you liked it as much as so many of us did. We really wouldn't put a bad movie up as the #1 requested. Trust us! :) Not only is this movie a good comedy, and a great action movie, it has a real rockin soundtrack, one of the best of the 80's! Judge Reinhold was really better in this movie than he was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Can't wait for Cassie to watch the sequel to this one!

Cole Jennett

She may have something to say about The Fifth Element previously being #1😉

Justin S.

I totally agree and 48 Hrs. being more serious ehances the action from my perspective. Speaking of Nick Nolte, The Prince of Tides is perhaps his best performance and that's a really strong film. Disturbing in some ways but also a very good romance. I think it's one that should be reacted to at some point.

Clay F

No, he didn't start out racist. He just had an abrupt demeanor. The two characters connected. He is a clean cop and became likeable through his arc. He grew to like the Eddie Murphy character. She would like the good ending. In BHC, Taggart didn't start out great but had a good arc and developed respect for the Eddie Murphy character. In 48 Hrs, there is a richness in the evolution of the Nolte/Murphy characters' relationship that she would like. There is crassness in 48 Hrs., which I think she would tolerate. But like I said her liking the movie is not my No. 1 criterion. I think 48 Hrs. would make for a better reaction than Coming to America and BHC2 (overridden w/mindless action). With all this said, I would be fine if she didn't react to 48 Hrs. As stated in OP, I mentioned 48 Hrs. if she wanted another Murphy 80's movie.

Cole Jennett

Maybe I am remembering it wrong then Clay, I thought I remembered some N words from him. Edit - A quick google search kinda confirms what I had said previously, and reminded me of his misogyny too. I don’t think Cassie has come around too far from someone she’s likely to “woof” at🤷‍♂️

Stick Figure Studios

Yup. A highly enjoyable movie. Funny, thrilling and carried in no small part by the endless charm and charisma of Eddie Murphy. You can see why he became such a huge star. There are three more movies, the second of which is worth seeing (and yes, Taggart and Rosewood are in it and hilariously still acting like a married couple) but the third of which is not. It is truly awful. Skip 3 and go right to 4. Also, the director of this film Martin Brest (who also did MEET JOE BLACK and SCENT OF A WOMAN) directed another little buddy action-comedy from the 1980s, also starring John Ashton (the actor who played Taggart), that you might have heard of. You should also check it out. It's called MIDNIGHT RUN. ;-)

Stick Figure Studios

MIDNIGHT RUN is one of my all-time favorite films and was one of the five picks I submitted when I won trivia night.

Stick Figure Studios

Ashton was great. Loved him in these movies and in MIDNIGHT RUN (which is one of my all-time favorite films). RIP.

bknsty14

It was a little more serious of an action movie. Great movie though.

Clay F

Yeah, but that does not make him racist, especially not in 1982. He didn't come across racist at all. Instead, was calculated cop intimidation of an inmate convicted of armed robbery. If Cassie wants to learn about Eddie Murphy, reacting to his first movie [RT=92%] is a logical choice. Golden Globe nomination for New Star of the Year.

Cole Jennett

Still quote some stuff from it to this day. Especially any time we go camping. “Now that’s a fire!”

David Collins

I have 48 Hours ahead of all the BHC movies, but I have BHC2 ahead of BHC1, and I don't even think it's close. The problem is 2 doesn't work nearly as well w/o 1.

Keith Jacobsen

Blocking the tail pipe with bananas or whatever causes a condition known as vapor lock. The same way an engine has to be able to "breathe" in from the intake manifold, it has to able to breathe out through the exhaust. This is why they advise people if they get stuck in a snow drift with their vehicles to keep it running for warmth but make sure your exhaust pipe is clear and not packed with snow.

Larry Darrell

+1 for Running Scared (1986). One of the Best Buddy Cop films Ever. Highly Recommended.

Alan Kobb

The actress who played Jennie in this movie played the cadet who had trouble getting up the wall in An Officer and a Gentleman.

Just Plain Bob

In the early 2000s, our office was called in to help the FBI in an investigation of the Memphis PD evidence room. They knew that several of the civilian employees were working with a former employee to steal drugs from the evidence room and put them back in the street. But to charge them, they needed some idea of how much had been taken so we were called in to do an inventory. The main evidence room took a long time because there were many, many small items to account for. But for what they called the “big drugs”, they used a warehouse down by the river (called the Harvester facility because it started out as a factory for farm equipment). They literally had metal cubicles stacked to the ceiling, filled with drugs, and garbage cans filled with long guns. The marijuana was baled like hay. It turned out that approximately $3 million (street value) in drugs had gone back onto the streets. There were also more than five dozen high end handguns missing and more than a $100k in confiscated cash missing. But the interesting thing is that almost all the packaged cocaine smelled strongly of mustard. Turns out that drug dealers used the mustard to mask the smell of the drugs and trick the drug dogs. So the canine trainers had started training them to smell for mustard. Hearing the coffee grounds story reminded me of that little tidbit. Both sides constantly at odds - one trying new methods of deception and the other adjusting their methods of detection accordingly. And round and round they go.

Kelly Oehlschlager

This is one of my favorite movies. If I am flipping through the guide on my TV and I see this on, I must watch it. Another early 80’s movie I love is The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and Shelly long. I highly recommend it.

Larry Darrell

They filmed The Firm (1993) at that Harvester Facility. They turned it into a movie studio and built sets there.

Dan M

The Money Pit is good, but there’s another Tom Hanks movie from the 80s that I like even better…Volunteers, with John Candy.

Dan M

Midnight Run is a really fun movie. I think both Cassie and Carly would really like. It also has an excellent main theme by Danny Elfman.

Dan M

+2 for Running Scared

Dan M

“The Ice Cream Man is coming!!!”

Just Plain Bob

We normally wore dress shirts and ties, slacks and blazers to work - or a suit for court. The Harvester facility was one of the rare exceptions. It was all blue jeans and t-shirts. When I’d get home at the end of the week I had to wash my jeans twice to get them clean. We also had to use electric forklifts to reach all the cubicles other than the ones on the ground floor. At one point, we saw what appeared to be a flash of lightning in the alleyway below us. Turned out the forklift we were using had a power cord that had become frayed and when the forklift rubbed against one of the metal walls it created a huge arc of electricity. Thankfully, we were still standing on the pallet we laid across the forks for riding up and down. We quit using that forklift, which slowed things down because they only had two.

Dan M

I agree. I liked it a lot better on Patreon.

Dan M

Yeah, I liked 48 Hours, but I didn’t think it was as funny as Beverly Hills Cop. Judge Reinhokd and John Ashton were better “cop buddies” than Nick Nolte.

Larry Darrell

+10 for The Money Pit (1986). Highly, Highly Recommended.

Stephen Dias

Yes! Love this movie and all its 80's goodness. I knew Cassie was a fan of the "Santa Clause" movies and kept waiting for her to recognize Judge Reinhold. Of course, many people saw him in this or "Fast Times..." first.

Larry Darrell

Sounds like fun. Never been in there myself, but I know what it’s like working in warehouses built 100 years ago. Working in one now. They’re still in business, but I swear they haven’t cleaned the place in 20+ years, and is probably more than 50% rigged to keep standing. I can imagine one that’s been out of business for 20+ years would be even worse.

Just Plain Bob

To be fair/honest, the working conditions and filth didn’t bother me much at the time. I was still in my mid-30s and just thrilled to be able to go to work for a couple of weeks in jeans and a t-shirt. Now, in my mid-50s, I realize how lucky I was to have a job in a nice, clean air conditioned office building. As my former boss used to say, “we ain’t breaking big rocks into little rocks” (he used to actually work for a living, in construction).

John A

Always fun watching this movie, I had meet Judge Reinhold (Rosewood) at a U2 Concert years ago and meet John Ashton (Taggart) in 2022 two years before he passed away. He was fun talking too. Also took a photo with him

thomas king

The actress who plays Jenny was the girl in An Officer and a Gentleman who Richard Gere's character helped get over the wall in the obstacle course

Gábor Árki

+1 for Bowfinger. Criminally underrated.

Wesley White

This was a fun watch Cassie, a little bummed I didn't participate in the watch-along but there was no way I was missing out at meeting Ron Pearlman, Selma Blair, and Doug Jones at this recent Monsterpalooza convention in Pasadena! I'll send you some copies of the pics I took via USB drive 😁 Great reaction Cassie as always, I'm very glad you really enjoyed this movie as much as I do, I have this movie along with it's sequel in my Top 100 favorite movies of all time lol! Fun fact trivia, even though I'm sure most of everybody on here has already said it, but here it is in my words lol! Originally the filmmakers wanted Sylvester Stallone to play Axel Foley, but Stallone didn't really like the script on how it had a lot of focus on comedy which wasn't really part of his persona, so he did a rewrite of the script that focused more on the action rather than comedy, but the filmmakers didn't want it that way, so they turned to Eddie Murhpy! However, Stallone didn't leave empty handed, he took the rewritten script and used it to make one of his biggest and most underrated box-office hits "Cobra (86)" which is also one of my favorite action movies as well, I highly recommend it and I hope you do a reaction to it someday 😁 Other than that, I don't really have much to say about this movie other than this was a action/comedy that I believe Eddie Murphy was born to play! However I will point out that the actor who played the police lieutenant was Ronny Cox, you may recognize him in a couple of movies you've reacted to on the channel Cass, he was in "Robocop" (Dick Jones), and "Total Recall" (Cohagen) both being main villain roles though lol! Great reaction Cassie as always, love and support, you (and Carly) are the best, hope your son is getting better, and God bless y'all and the family 🥰😇🙏🤗😁😉✌👍🌹

Clay F

She recognized that during the reaction. Looked it up.

Daniel Doble

Cass, the song that caught your attention is called "Axel F" from Harold Faltemeyer. It was written for the film.

Mark White

Watch the sequel Cassie, the second one was Directed by Tony Scott, who also did “Top Gun. You will equally enjoy it. But, skip the third. It’s was pretty awful.

Philip Alan

I'm usually the one that says, "NO, you have to watch all the sequels!" But yup.. it's horrendous. Don't do it.

Mark White

Yep, the third one is just a cash grab. I still haven’t seen BHC 4, so I can’t comment. Have you seen it Philip?

Philip Alan

Yes. It's definitely worth a watch. But dang, Eddie Murphy just doesn't have that Eddie Murphy authentic acting touch like he used to. And it definitely needed more Billy & Taggert. I enjoyed Coming To America 2 more than I thought. But it was still so so for me. I just wish Eddie would snap out of this type of acting he does now. (bad, IMO). He was just so brilliant in the 80s (his acting & humor). And losing his trademark laugh was such a letdown.

Terry Yelmene

I'm so glad this finally happened. Cassie had/gave us a fantastic react.

Steve Arnold

Glad you liked it! The second one is even better.

Ted Whalen

I am glad that you liked BHC (definitely well worth the wait). I think that this is my favorite Eddie Murphy movie (Trading Places is a close 2nd).

Above Average Dave

I worked on farms as a kid and teenager. The worst was picking tobacco. Up at 5 a.m., work until 4 p.m. with 1/2 hour for lunch sitting in any shade you could find. Flithy work complete with bugs, occasional snakes, and 90+ degree heat and humidity. As the plants got taller (they would grow to 8+ feet high), we'd get covered in eye-burning tobacco juice dripping off the leaves and flowers at the top, which was a lot like getting covered in a rancid honey. Any hair sticking out from your baseball or bucket cap would congeal with the juice and dirt, making a sticky, helmet. The juice and dirt would cling to my clothes and they'd stand on their own with the stiffness when I took them off at the end of the day (I was mandated by my mother to strip to my underwear on the back porch every day when I got home. And I had to do my own laundry because she didn't want those clothes mixing with "real clothes.") I was 14 the first year (did it for 3 summers) and I remember telling a buddy: "The only thing worse than this is prison." Without missing a beat he said, "Prison has air conditioning and cable." And at the end of the week, I had to turn my paycheck into my Dad. So yes, Bob, right there with the A/C and clean office

Clarence Newman

Running Scared is great fun. How good was Gregory Hines that he could make a simple word like "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!" so quotable?

Clarence Newman

Fun facts about Beverly Hills Cop: 1) The guy who plays the Chief goon with the mean face (Jonathan Banks) was also the main goon in Breaking Bad and Jay Pritchett's mischievous brother in Modern Family. 2) The lead role was originally intended for Sylvester Stallone, but he quit because they wouldn't let him rewrite the playful script into a serious story. Hard to imagine Stallone as Axel Foley now, ain't it? 3) Captain Bogermil is played by The versatile Ronny Cox, who you've already seen and intensely disliked in the Star Trek: TNG double episode Chain of Command. (He was the replacement captain Riker didn't get along with.) He was also in Robocop, AND....if you want to see him in a more empathetic role, you can always watch the cuddly weekend warrior movie "Deliverance" (1972). Just think City Slickers with some unexpected hillbilly ingress thrown in. 4) And Beverly Hills Cop 2 (which you will NOT make us wait months for because you are a kind person who would not knowingly pull the wings off her patrons like that) co-stars the underappreciated legend that is Brigitte Nielsen. You will know her as Ivan Drago's Mum in the Rockys and she was Stallone's girlfriend at the height of his 80s superstardom. To this day, Sly affectionately refers to her as "What The Heck Was I Thinking!!??"

Cole Jennett

She may be more familiar with him playing Ben’s father in Parks & Recreation

Cole Jennett

“Aunt Bunny is coming to get me.”😱 “….because she got a moustache!”😭

Guybrush Threepwood

Love your hair Cass! Glad you've finally got round to watching this, iconic 80's movie!

Mark White

Clarence, I heard that about Stallone originally wanting a more gritty feel to it without the humour. I also read somewhere, that Stallone’s version of BHC went on to become “Cobra” But, I’ve not seen Cobra, so I don’t know what that is like compared to BHC?! Edit: it also stars Brigitte Nielsen Apparently.

Canadianant

Your wife's a big foot isn't she gus? A goony goo goo .. what does that mean Gus?

Clarence Newman

I’d forgotten about that, Cole, and I’m watching Parks at the moment. He's only in one episode of each, though, so it’s a toss-up.

Clarence Newman

Brigitte is a little less rigid in Cobra, Mark, but I can’t say the film’s better.

MikeLL

Cole, my comment about "trust us" was a riff on Axel's last line in the movie "Trust me." As for Cassie actually trusting us patrons, results may vary! 😏🙄

Just Plain Bob

“Cobra” very much falls into the “so bad it’s good” category. I recommend a double header of it and Brian “The Boz” Bosworth’s “Stone Cold” for a heaping helping of good bad-ness.

Cole Jennett

“And your whole family, there big feet too!”

Nick Hewett

Great reaction, love BHC, had a smile on my face the whole time. I think you would like The Last Boy Scout (1991) with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans (who was the guy who handed Eddie the bananas). Yes to BHC2, Midnight Run, Stakeout & Tango & Cash.

Shehab Dawoud

I know, man. I was really hoping she'd pick it from your top 5. But it's been recommended so much that it's surely just a matter of time.

Clarence Newman

The NFL draft bust guy? I hope he can act better than he can tackle.

Clarence Newman

+20 for The Money Pit. A very young Tom Hanks on fine comic form.

Clarence Newman

It's a shame the youngsters of today didn't get to experience the rise of Eddie Murphy. It's one thing to be 'cool' (there have been cool actors all the way back to Rudolph Valentino), but what those who weren't there won't realise is that, at the time, Eddie was a whole new level of cool. It's been duplicated and mimicked a hundred times since (Jamie Foxx comes to mind), but back then, no-one had seen anything like Eddie Murphy. As others have mentioned, his two stand-up videos (VHS, not Blu-ray, these were simpler times) were the stuff of legend. "Delirious" was one of the greatest stand-up shows of all-time, and while "Raw" wasn't quite as good, it was still better than most. If you want to see the kind of 'cool' I'm talking about, just check out the start of the "Raw" video. Now THAT'S an entrance! Movie-wise, I wonder what Cassie would think of The Golden Child.

Just Plain Bob

He cannot. That’s one of the things that makes it so much fun. He basically plays himself - bigger than life and absolutely absurd - so he gets by. It’s very much a “drink a few beers and enjoy it with your buddies” kinda films. It does co-star Lance Henriksen (“The Right Stuff”, “The Terminator”, “Aliens” and “The Quick and the Dead”). So he adds some talent to the proceedings (and chews the hell out of the scenery). It’s a bad movie by any objective standard but, as the saying goes here in the South, it’s “funner than hell.” Here’s the trailer. It’s one of those rarities: a trailer that very accurately depicts what you’re getting (without too many spoilers). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YffmNPdoR_4

Clarence Newman

How 'bout Freebie and The Bean, Stick? James Caan and Alan Arkin. Or is that one too much of a comedy? It's from 1974 anyway and is getting a few mentions lately. 48 Hours may have been the first black/white buddy action movie, as long as we discount Rocky and Apollo buddying up in Rocky 3 (also 1982). Then again, Stir Crazy was 1979 - Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. They were definitely buddies.

Archronos

Awesome that this got posted at last so I could watch. That absolutely flew by and it was so evident Cassie got engrossed in it like halfway through :D You just get a reminder of how much we lost as the 90s, 2000s and now modern films gradually forgot the importance of genuine comedy. BHC is just such a well made funny movie from the sprawling disastrous city destroying 80s cop chase as Axel hangs on for dear life to the Pointer Sister's "Neutron Dance", right up to Axel's infectious grin in the final freeze frame. It's a film that's impossible to dislike. I hope you shed this idea that we're all gonna leave because top movies get watched Cassie. You have built and need to be proud of the super solid community here that love what you do and aren't going anywhere, and there's always gonna be a top requested movie we want you to watch. You've so many greats left to discover and so many more people that haven't even found you yet. This isn't the sitcom relationship finally getting together to mark the end. Ross might have got with Rachel at last but we're all still here! Thank you so much for watching Beverly Hills Cop and for confirming you'll watch 2!

Oh my Gahd, who spent their money making that? It does look like some mindless fun, though, but if you're putting that one up, I'm going to have to counter with "Skyscraper" (1996). It's basically Die Hard with Anna Nicole Smith in the lead role. I watched it once, purely for reference and research purposes and nothing whatsoever to do with the shower scene, and it was exactly how you describe "Stone Cold" - so terrible you end up strangely entertained. If we ever get a slow week on here, it might be fun to Howard the Duck Cassie with it.

If you force fed yourself 3 back in the day, the worst is over. Do yourself a favor and watch Axel F (4). It's pure harmless nostalgia, you get to see how everyone's lives worked out and it's a bittersweet goodbye to John Ashton (Taggart) who passed away 3 months after its release but still managed to join the boys for one last run before he did.

Gawd he’p me, but I like the way you think!

Tony Scott was a phenomenal director. Fell in love with his work so hard, especially his summer collaborations with Denzel Washington. Man on Fire is a flawless film and the best one man revenge story to ever do it before we got all these generic John Wick imitations now. Miss him a lot and hope he found happiness wherever he ended up.

Great reaction. I knew Cassie would love this movie. She's in for a real treat when she watches Bevelrly Hills Cop 2. Let's just hope she doesn't keep us waiting too long. It's going to take all my will power to not watch it right now. P.s. I really hope she watches Beverly Hills Cop 3 too. It would be a crime not to complete the trilogy.

I think the closest thing since BHC has to be Bad Boys. Not as good, but captures the comedy/action from BHC and Lethal Weapon. Another great comedy/action of that era is Midnight Run, and excellent, IMO, suggestion for Cassie.

Hi Cassie.. great reaction video as always.. someone mentioned in another post about Sylvester Stallone wanting to rework the script which is true and when they turned him down he went and made Cobra instead. Another interesting factoid is when Axel is telling Bogilmil the super cop story , if you watch closely you can see Billy and Taggert trying not to laugh.. thats why Taggert was pinching his face. The character that Bronson Pinchot is playing Serge is a precursor to his role as Balky on Perfect Strangers TV show back in the 80s. And yes the theme song that you know from Crazy Frog is called Axel F which is Eddie's name in the movie. Harold Faltmeyer is the composer and that synth sound he uses was used in several other 80s movies including Fletch and Fletch LIves.. Now that youve seen this one, you gotta check out the rest of the franchise. Thanks again for sharing this one.

She’s also mentioned she hasn’t actually seen the Rush Hour movies either. I’d be fine with just a one and done with the first.

Cassie did not have fond memories of "Crazy Frog".

That was a particularly fun reaction video. I was a bit amused that Cassie seemed fixated on Lisa Eilbacher whenever she was on-screen. Honestly, I kind of had that reaction too the first time I saw this one back in the day, though likely for somewhat different reasons. She's one of those actors that I was always surprised never really had a career that took off. This one seems to have been fairly early in her career, yet she already had the acting chops, and was certainly charming enough, to carry a scene. But I don't think I've heard of ANY of the films she did after this one. And even after the success of BHC, she not only didn't appear in any of the sequels, but wasn't even mentioned. Also, I was a bit bummed when I read from a few sources that her character was originally intended to have had a flirting/previous romance relationship with the Foley character, but they dropped that idea when Murphy was cast, just to avoid even hinting at the interracial angle, even if it had been in the past. That's disappointing. Hell, "The Jeffersons" had come out almost 10 years before the first movie, so it's not like it would have been a groundbreaking thing. It would have given both characters a touch more depth, particularly in the closing scenes. And Murphy likely would have played the hell out of it.

Here's a little trivia that some people may not know. Gil Hill, the actor who played Inspector Todd, was an actual Detroit Police Officer and politician. In 1982, he was promoted to the rank of inspector in the Homicide Division of the Detroit Police Department. Meaning, he was the actual homicide inspector at the time of filming Beverly Hills Cop. Another bit of trivia was his connection to Richard Wershe Jr., aka "White Boy Rick". Richard Wershe Jr. became a confidential informant for the FBI at the age of 14, as played out in the movie "White Boy Rick (2018)". Wershe claimed that Gil Hill was involved in police corruption, and former Detroit hit man Nate "Boone" Craft alleged that Hill once tried to commission the murder of Wershe for $125k to prevent him from revealing the police corruption Gil Hill was involved in. Wershe would end up spending 27 years in prison for a non-violent drug offence he committed when he was 17. Gil Hill would later go on to run for Mayor of Detroit in 2001 and lose to Kwame Kilpatrick.

I'm beginning to suspect you have a sneaking dislike for number 2, Flag, although it's always good to hear what the Christian Science Monitor has got to say. For the record, BHC2 wasn't even on my radar till Cassie watched the first one. I remember watching it way back, and remember it being entertaining enough, but it certainly hasn't stuck in my mind as a must-see. The reason I want to see Cassie react to it now is because she clearly bonded with the characters and it always makes for a good reaction when she can sit down and hang out with her "friends" again. As for continuing the series after that, I need to add my own journalistic input to yours. Here's a review from the Pamber End Herald, by one C B Newman, about Beverly Hills Cop 3 and Axel F: "Both films qualify as that rare vacuum cleaner/Dizzy Gillespie hybrid. They suck and blow at the same time."

Clarence Newman

The Chicago Sun Times review reminds me of something I read a critic say about Hooper (1978): "Burt Reynolds' annual Kleenex of a movie - something to be used and discarded with no real thought beyond a vague appreciation for the convenience of the thing." Ouch.

Okay Cassie, now you have to watch the best Eddie Murphy movie: 48 hours. Best buddy cop movie ever. No joke. Check it out.

fastecp1

Spy Game is a great film.

Clay F

+1 for 48 Hrs. (1982)

David Collins

Cassie, you have so many great movies still to watch there's no need to slow play any of them. You're in no danger of running out. In fact, you're on the clock girl. You're gonna have a difficult time getting to all of them as it is!! :D And count me as one of the ones who enjoyed BHC2 more than the first one.

Clifton Owens

Bright Angel Cassie, it'ss always a joy sharing a movie with you.

Mitch M

The sequel is every bit as funny and fun. One of the rare sequels that lives up to the original.

Ryan Towell

So fun watching movies w/ Cassie. "It's Neal from Santa Clause", where as my generation when watching Santa Clause we're like: It's Private Blum or It's Brad or It's Billy".. :) Jenny is played by Lisa Eilbacher she was a kid actress but mainly known for her roles in this and as Seeger (SEEEGAAAR) in "An officer and a Gentleman".

Part 3 is preeeetty bad though... while 2 was decent. Rather watch "Stakeout" or "48 Hours", actually good buddy cop movies. I don't agree with doing all sequels for just the sake of it (another example The Terminator, please let's not go there) Part 3 lacked jokes, central characters, good soundtrack, the tone. Even the new one "Axel F" is better. I think Eddie Murphy even admitted that 3 isn't great

LukeG84

That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. I actually liked it, and I’d wager Cassie would too, if she ever watches it.
