Maybe this is what Muprhy needs to get ot of the shit family film industry and return to being relevant and funny.

Besides, this is not some hallowed franchise tha may get ruined by a sequel. It’s perfectly positioned for a sequel. But it shuold be R Rated. And it will not be.

heh. Rian, see similar post at Row Three, for the 48 hours sentiment.

As for Eddie Murphy’s career — C’mon, you know you want to see “Golden Child 2: Succubi Baby”

Beverly Hills Cop is one of those old franchises that I never caught up with. I’ve seen the second one, but really have no fond memories of it. What I’d like to see is another Nolte/Murphy team-up for Yet Another 48 Hrs. Eh? Eh?

I couldn’t care less about Beverly Hills Cop. And why should anyone? I mean is there really anyone out there who counts BHC as their all time favorite film, that had a huge impact on their childhood or something? Those were mindless comedies that had nothing to offer other than Murphy doing his thing.
If Murphy can do his harder edged comedy again in this one then I’m all for it. Brett Ratner does great action comedy so I’m hoping they will go old school Eddie with this one.

I guess when George saw “DISAPPOINTED MAN – George Lucas” in the movie credits, it did not help the matter either.

Beverly Hills Cop is a whole different kind of franchise from Indy, Rocky, or Die Hard. Those were serious action films that are beloved, and while BHC may be popular its still totally different, I can’t see this being as succesful as any of those other films.

Beverly Hills Cop 3 is badass. It’s the one that takes place in the Wonder World amusement park. And, if you don’t blink, you can see George Lucas himself in a cameo when Axel is getting on a ride. Axel, running from the baddies, cuts in front of George and his wife who are in line for a ride. George yells “Hey!” to Axel. Years later, George Lucas was still pissed off for losing his space in line that he decided to ruin our childhood memories of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. It all makes sense now… it’s Eddie Murphy’s fault Indy 4 sucked (and the SW prequels).
