Axel Foley In The 90's
25 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Come on, lets face it, It may not be the best Beverly Hills Cop movie in the series but they tried their best to make it good. This movie was made 7 years after the second movie was made. Eddie Murphy returns as the wonderful Axel Foley, this time he is trying to find the killer of his boss Insp Todd which who was gunned down on Axel's last assignment. With the help of his friend Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) they go on a roller-coaster ride to Wonderworld to find the killer. This movie is a mixture of action and comedy with some of the best one-liners that Axel has said. Yep this movie is full of swearing like the first two but it has more violence, but hey that's life.

Steven E DeSouza wrote this story with the help of Eddie Murphy making rewrites and overall this made a pretty good story. The new producers on the film Robert Rehme and Mace Neufeld take over from Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer and the new director the great and funny John Landis takes the helm. Sadly a few actors are missing from this movie there's no John Ashton and Ronny Cox. The movie starts a bit different to the other two movies, there's no starting credits, the movie just starts. But along from that the movie is very funny and is a good part in series.

John Landis has put a lot of director cameo's in this movie they are: George Lucas, Martha Coolidge, Joe Dante, Peter Medak, Arthur Hiller, Barbet Schroeder and John Singleton. All of the cameo's from the director's are very funny and makes you wonder if they really do this sort of stuff in real life when they aren't making movies. It might have been panned by critics and people, but overall its very funny and a great movie.
