Beverly Hills Cop
The heat is on in this fast paced action-comedy starring Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a street smart Detroit cop tracing down his best friend's killer in Beverly Hills. Axel quickly learns that his wild style doesn’t fit in with the Beverly Hills Police Department, which assigns two officers (Judge Reinhold & John Ashton) to make sure things don't get out of hand.
Dragging the stuffy detectives along for the ride, Axel smashes through a huge culture clash in his hilarious, high-speed pursuit of justice.
Featuring cameos by Paul Reiser, Bronson Pinchot and Damon Wayans, Beverly Hills Cops is an exhilarating sidesplitting adventure!

Truely one of the best action/comedies going, and still holds up well today.
Remember Eddie Murphy before Disney signed him to an exclusive contract? Well, if you need a reminder of why he was one of the hottest actors in the late 80's into the early 90's, look no further then this movie.
There are not enough movies from this genre of action/comedy, as it's probably my favourite type of movie to watch. You laugh as much as you are thrilled by big special effects and action.Eddie Murphy at his best - eli_quincy
If you're exhausted with the Eddie Murphy films of the past decade, revisit this one and remember just how talented he was. He's a force of nature here, keeping a spark ablaze in every scene and pulling off action sequences with aplomb. The sequels are fine, but this is the Beverly Hills Cop film that's a must-see.A+++ - basilbenz
Beverly Hills Cop was a big hit in the 1980's. The film was loved by many action fans, as well as comedy fans and movie buffs at the time. It is still being admired by many people as one of the funniest cop movies ever made.
The thing I love about this movie is that Eddie Murphy was perfectly cast as the Axel Foley character. Originally, Sylvester Stallone was considered for the role. Thank God he wasn't! Eddie Murphy was perfect for the role, because he can be a clever cop, and can at the same time be very funny! Another great thing about Beverly Hills Cop is its smashing soundtrack. There are some great hit songs from the 1980's featured in the soundtrack, as well as an excellent musical score which can be heard throughout the movie (to me, the musical score is the Beverly Hills Cop "theme song").
Perhaps the only downside of Beverly Hills Cop is that it can be pretty slow in certain scenes. Hardcore action fans would probably be disappointed by this. But let's face it: Beverly Hills Cop is not an all-out mindless action movie. It is actually a clever comedy with elements of action present within.
To conclude, Beverly Hills Cop is arguably Eddie Murphy's best film since he fits the Axel Foley character perfectly. There are many funny scenes featuring Eddie Murphy that will have people laughing (even the action sc
