Back in sunny southern California and on the trail of two murderers, Axel Foley again teams up with LA cop Billy Rosewood. Soon, they discover that an amusement park is being used as a front for a massive counterfeiting ring – and it's run by the same gang that shot Billy's boss.

According to John Landis, who re-teamed with Eddie Murphy in directing Beverly Hills Cop 3, most people on the picture knew the script was weak but he was convinced that with Murphy on form as displaced, maverick Detroit cop Axel Foley, they would make it funny by default, as he believed had been the case with the first, well loved movie a decade earlier. What he was surprised to find, on filming, was Murphy keen to dodge almost every opportunity to be funny, bring out the smart mouth of Axel, with Murphy claiming age had matured the character to the point he wouldn't pull the same kind of tricks. Co-star Bronson Pinchot, who appears as the ultra camp Serge after…
Eddie Murphy returns to the Hills,
Brushing up on detective skills.
Everyone gets shot,
Then laughs a lot,
LOL-ing at Disneyland kills.
Landis gets some visual mileage out of the amusement park setting, but as for narrative and humor, it’s running on fumes from the jump. The heat is off!
Just as narratively useless as Tony Scott's COP II but wildly understylized in comparison, this is so demonstrably a John Landis picture. Economically photographed, casual, packed with pointless cameos and vaudeville-level gags, steeped in nostalgic showbiz arcana, and completely self-aware. What it isn't is even remotely exciting. The aforementioned economy would have been completely alien to the action genre by 1994, and so this is the least visceral cop movie imaginable. What's more it almost completely lacks Axel Foley shtick, which is pretty much the only thing you're here to see. I'd be willing to bet that that this made it through the system at all only due to sheer laziness and contractual obligation on the part of all involved, but on the other hand that seems to negate its intrinsic weirdness.
ill never be a Real Cinephile cuz i like john landis's stupid beverly hills cop sequel more than the tony scott one
10000th rewatch-- axel blasts eazy e's luv 4 dem gangstaz out a boombox & blows up disney park guys with it cuz its secretly a gun made by gay? paramilitary arms dealer bronson pinchot. he kills so many disney guys in this! shot by the dp of ghoulies, reanimator, good burger & evil bong, ends with eddie getting a fursona; one of my fav movies.
100-word review: The third Beverly Hills Cop entry is the least funny one by a long shot, featuring only a single one of Axel Foley's typical ruses (not even a particularly outlandish one), and a serious-crime-thriller body count number. It's not a good look. The positives include the mostly practical ferris wheel action set-piece stunt-work, the orchestral reimagining of the iconic score, and the return of the first Beverly Hills Cop character Serge, but these are few and far between. Also, the chemistry between Eddie Murphy and Theresa Randle is nonexistent. I loved II, but this wasn't it.
Part of my August 2022 80s & 90s Cop Franchises challenge; 12th out of 18 films.
The remixed soundtrack for this film made me want to get a coat hanger and deliberately pierce my own eardrums, holy crap it was awful! When the Crazy Frog can make a better version you know you've done fucked up! This film is a near catastrophe. The story is utterly ridiculous and beyond convoluted. The characters are boring. Judge Reinhold has barely anything to do in this film other than to act like a total buffoon. The guy who replaced Taggart is alright but adds nothing interesting. Eddie Murphy looks bored out of his brains. The jokes aren't funny, the set pieces were silly and poorly choreographed. Nothing about this film works, and my god that fucking soundtrack...urgh. I just can't! John Landis sucks, he should just stick to films about werewolves as that's the only thing he's good at.
See, the biggest problem with this is it starts off with an absolutely spectacular murderous action sequence and there was kinda only one way to go from there. Judge Reinhold went from being the star of part 2 to a 5, 10 ten minute wonder here which was really disappointing, it also sorely missed John Ashton. Saying that though while a noticeable drop down from the first 2 I still had a load of fun with it. I had tears streaming down my face when Hector screamed "TURN THAT FUCKIN' SONG OFF" about the highly irritatingly catchy Wonder world theme. And it's always a joy spending time with John Saxon. I would kill to go on that crazy attraction. Anyway not as bad as I was expecting after grumpy Joel's comment :P
I knew compared to the previous two films this was a little rough, but...yeesh, what a mess. Everything that made this franchise great just wasn't present here at all. The plot was weak, the action was mundane, it unfortunately felt like Eddie was at 40% the whole time, and there was hardly any Billy! Which is criminal in itself, but the biggest issue above all else, is that it just wasn't funny, like at all! I was bored!
What a disappointment. However, I love the others and Axel enough to still be quietly excited about the upcoming legacy sequel thing.
