    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, and Judge Reinhold improvised most of their comic lines. Literally hundreds of takes were ruined by cast members, actors or the director laughing during shooting. During the "super-cops" monologue, Ashton is pinching his face hard and looking down in apparent frustration. He is actually laughing. Reinhold put his hand in his pocket and pinched his thigh really hard, trying to prevent himself from laughing.
    • Goofs
      Maitland's German bonds are incorrectly labeled "10,000 Mark". The official name for West German currency was "Deutsche Mark." East Germany used "Mark", but bonds did not exist there. In German the comma functions like an American or British decimal point, so the bonds were worth 10 marks.
    • Quotes

      Axel Foley: Did you see that shit? I can describe all of em.

      Beverly Hills Cop #1: Please move to the side of the car, and put your hands on the hood!

      Axel Foley: Why, what's with you guys?

      Beverly Hills Cop #2: You heard what he said, sir. Do it right now, please!

      Axel Foley: What kind of shit is this, man? Hold up, wait a second! You guys are arresting me for getting thrown out of a fucking window? I got thrown out of a window, man!

      Beverly Hills Cop #1: Gun, partner!

      Beverly Hills Cop #1: Sir, you are under arrest; you are to remain silent, anything you say CAN and will be against you in a court of law! You have a right to have an attorney present during questioning...

      Beverly Hills Cop #2: Please get in the car, sir!

      Axel Foley: Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window! What's the fucking charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking? This is bullshit!

    • Crazy credits
      Scott Murphy's character of Det. Owensby is misspelled as Det. Owenby in the credits.

    Ultra-Slick and Ultra-Cool.
    Eddie Murphy became a true bankable superstar with "Beverly Hills Cop". The film is an unconventional detective story that has Murphy, a Detroit police officer, go to Beverly Hills after his close friend is killed. Murphy wants to find out who killed his friend and why. What he discovers is one of the largest illegal drug fronts around in an art museum. Now it is up to Murphy to bring down the bad guys and save the day. "Beverly Hills Cop" is a film that showed the greatness of the 1980s. A pop-culture, box office hit that was funny and full of action and sported a smashing soundtrack. A nice film that is one of the most memorable money-makers of the decade that was the 80s. 4 stars out of 5.

    • How long is Beverly Hills Cop?Powered by Alexa
    • How could Axel face a charge of disturbing the peace if he obviously was manhandled and thrown through the window by Victor's goons? Isn't it obvious they treated him more roughly than they could have?
