Beverly Hills Cop

Directed by Martin Brest
1984
★ 4.6 editorial score

Sylvester Stallone rewrote the script into an action picture, then quit two weeks before shooting: Eddie Murphy came in days later, and nobody escaped that synthesizer theme for years.

“Beverly Hills Cop finds Eddie Murphy doing what he does best: playing the shrewdest, hippest, fastest-talking underdog in a rich man's world. Axel's confidence never wavers, nor does his natural authority - and for that, audiences will love him.”
— Janet Maslin · The New York Times
