Customer Reviews of Beverly Hills Cop (Special Collector's Edition)
taut drama, wonderful comic relief This is a great film, one in the series of excellent films that Murphy did early in his career that have more creative energy in them than the later ones that he seems to just walk through. He proves himself to be an excellent actor and a hilarious comic at the same time, in perfect balance and never over the top. The other actors are also uniformly brilliant. I watched this again because I was just in Beverly Hills, and this gives a truly splendid take on the culture there. Every time I watch this I am rivetted while uproariously laughing. <

The theme song and Eddie Murphy's laugh alone are worth the price
The title kind of gives this review away. I LOVE the theme song to this movie and everytime I hear Eddie Murphy laugh I start cracking up. This is a good movie too. Its before Eddie Murphy sold out and did movies like "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" and "Haunted Mansion." This isn't really a funny Eddie Murphy movie, its an action movie.
One Of The Sharpest And Hilarious Comedies Of The 1980s'
The 1980s' yielded a lot of classic cop movies: "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon", "Police Academy" and many others all came out in the years between 1984 and 1988. But there was one film that came before all of those, and defined the cop movie comedy/drama forever. That film was "Beverly Hills Cop".

>"Beverly Hills Cop" was initially written in 1983 with Sylvester Stallone in mind for the part of Detroit cop turned Beverly Hills cop Axl Foley. But Stallone backed out of the project. Desparate for another lead actor, the producers turned to Eddie Murphy, star of the box office hits "Trading Places" and "48 Hours" and the most popular castmember on "Saturday Night Live" for a good two years. But the producers managed to lure Murphy away from "SNL" with a hefty salary. The rest as they say is history.
