Synopsis
In BEVERLY HILLS COP II, Eddie Murphy is back as Axel Foley, a resourceful Detroit detective who doesn't exactly play by the rules. When his friend Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) is wounded in an event related to mysterious "alphabet crimes," Foley hightails it to California and reunites up with officers Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) in an effort to stop the robberies that are creating fear in the city's businesses and to avenge the attack on his friend. Along the way, their investigation into the crimes leads them to a strip club, the Playboy mansion, and even the racetrack. Director Tony Scott's (CRIMSON TIDE, TOP GUN) film offers a wild ride as Foley talks his way into and out of various scenarios. Watch for comedian Chris Rock's feature-film debut in his brief appearance as the parking valet and for Paul Reiser as Jeffrey Freidman, Axel's partner in Detroit.

Customer Reviews

Good entertainment
This is a pretty good movie if you forget how much better the first one is. It's still fun and worth watching, with some good shootouts. Some of the cast just look like they turned up for a big cheque and to smile next to Eddie Murphy, but still worth looking at.

Worthy Sequel much slated by critics
This film was savaged by critics on its release.Don't really know why because it matches the original and some of the catch lines are even more memorable...'I wasn't always a cop' when Murphy and Judge Reinhold have to break into a suspects house. Also loved the scene where Eddy Murphy cusses a bullying police chief upon knowing that the latter has just been sacked.

Decent throwaway entertainment
Beverly Hills Cop 2 is slicker and funnier than its predecessor, but not quite as charming. Eddie Murphy's ego appears to be a little out of control at times here. This was when he was the most bankable star in Hollywood for a brief time. There are some very funny scenes, but on occasion it looks like Murphy's add libbing has gone a little too far and no one had the nerve to tell him he'd overcooked the joke. It's still slick entertainment though, but it doesn't have the air of realism that the original had. Played more for laughs and explosions it's achieves what it sets out to and for that it's worth 2 hours of anyone's time.
