BEVERLY HILLS COP from PARAMOUNT Pictures (1984). It stars comedian Eddie Murphy. The production budget climbed to $13 million and reached $315 million at the world wide box office. It also became the highest grossing film of the year in the U.S. The movie was so popular that it stayed at number #1 at the box office for 13 straight weeks.
"Cop" spawned two sequels (1987-1994). "Cop II" was very successful. While "Cop III" was a critical and box office disaster.
The story surrounds a Detroit police detective named Axel Foley (Murphy). His best friend is murdered who worked in California. Axel travels to "Beverly Hills" to investigate. The culture clash is very funny with a black detective meeting up with these colorful characters. (It is still fun to watch).
There will be a third sequel called, "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" (2024) and a teaser trailer has been released. Murphy reprises his role as Axel Foley and he hasn't aged one bit.
The streaming giant "Netflix" will premiere the sequel in the summer of 2024. (40 years after the first movie).
