BEVERLY HILLS COP AXEL FOLEY – The Legendary Eddie Murphy is back in California
In BEVERLY HILLS COP AXEL F’, Eddie Murphy returns as Detroits very own Axel Foley. He’s heading back to Cali for a hot Summer Netflix 2024
In the 1980s and 90s, Eddie Murphy cemented his status as a movie comedy legend by creating a numner of classic characters and having the hit movies to back them up. Axel Foley was one of those characters and the first two Beverley Hills cop movies are some of Eddie Murphy’s finest work, combining a crime story with great action in a ‘fish out of water’ scenario. The third movie in the series failed to capture that magic which lhas left some questioning why we are getting a fourth.
Like most, i am also questioning why this property is being brought back? Part 3 damaged the movie’s legacy and reputation. The fact Its a directorial debut for Austrlian director Mark Molloy, doesn’t fill me with confidence. And the despite having some fantastic films, a Netflix launch still gives the feeling that its not good enough for the cinema.

But the involvement of original producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the return of many of the original cast and adding Kevin Bacon to the mix has peaked my interest more than a little bit. So while I’m watching the trailer with the clever use of the original iconic synth theme mixed with the Notorous B.I.G’s ‘Going back to Cali’, I am allowing myself to imagine, even for a second that it might actually be good. We’ll find out in Summer 2024 when the movie launches on Netflix
