Shownotes Transcript

Host Mat Bradley-Tschirgi discusses Beverly Hills Cop 2. Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) vows to track down the ABC Killer when they try to assassinate his friend Captain Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox). International arms dealing complicates the proceedings.

Tony Scott (The Hunger, Top Gun) directs this slick flick resulting in a shinier more "Hollywood" look than the grittiness of the original. The stunts are bigger, but the comedy is lesser. Murphy seems more interested in leaning into an action star persona, but the tired story (didn't Agatha Christie do this?) makes Beverly Hills Cop 2 a little tiresome. There are some fun smaller moments with Gilbert Gottfried as an accountant, but this sequel is no classic like the original.
