Beverly Hills Cop Franchise Coming To Netflix!

Starting October 1, Netflix is bringing all four Beverly Hills Cop movies together for the first time, offering viewers a rare chance to explore every era of Axel Foley’s (Eddie Murphy) adventures in one streaming destination. From the original film’s blend of action, comedy, and culture-clash storytelling, through thrilling sequels and Axel’s modern comeback, the franchise’s arrival allows fans to rediscover Eddie Murphy’s iconic role and enjoy decades of high-energy, crowd-pleasing stories.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Street-smart Detroit detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) travels to affluent Beverly Hills after the murder of his childhood friend Mikey Tandino (James Russo). Out of his element but undeterred, Foley investigates Mikey’s connection to a suspicious art dealer, Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff). With persistent wit and improvisational charm, Foley clashes with the local police—especially straight-laced officers Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton)—as he uncovers a complex ring of drug smuggling and corruption. Amid action-packed confrontations and comedic antics, Foley’s relentless pursuit of justice leads to a dramatic showdown, cementing him as an unconventional but brilliant cop.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)

When prominent Beverly Hills police lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) is shot during a string of bizarre robberies known as the “Alphabet Crimes,” Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) returns to California to help his old friends, Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and Taggart (John Ashton). The trio’s investigation leads them to a ruthless arms dealer, Maxwell Dent, and his cunning henchwoman, Karla Fry. Balancing comedic banter with escalating danger, Axel employs his signature unconventional methods to unravel the criminal operation, exposing a high-stakes conspiracy and saving the day with energetic action and resourcefulness.

Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)

Axel Foley’s (Eddie Murphy) quest continues when his boss is murdered while investigating links to a Southern California amusement park, Wonder World. Foley teams up once more with Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), now promoted within the police force, to infiltrate the park and uncover its dark secrets. Facing elaborate cover-ups and deadly adversaries hiding behind family-friendly facades, Axel must rely on his trademark humor and street smarts to crack the case and bring justice to those responsible.

Beverly Hills Cop Axel F (2025)

Decades after his first Beverly Hills adventure, Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) finds himself drawn back to California when a new threat jeopardizes both old allies and the city itself. Surrounded by fresh faces and reuniting with familiar partners, Foley’s investigation exposes a new wave of crime that challenges modern law enforcement with high-tech schemes and local corruption. Balancing nostalgia with contemporary urgency, Axel’s trademark style and relentless determination make for an electrifying return, bridging the legacy of past cases with present-day excitement

THE REVIEW:

I remember a different Eddie Murphy than the one I saw in this movie. It seemed like a watered down version of the explosive comedy rawness of the Eddie I remember, Saturday Night Live, Raw, Beverly Hills Cop. I watched Beverly Hills Cop 4 and I couldn’t hang, couldn’t finish. It was a trip down memory lane that should have happened decades ago, instead it looked more like a sad “where are they now…oh..in the old folks home” story about a bunch of have beens. That’s harsh I know, but it’s true. The same applies here, it seems like Eddie Murphy is trying to regain his stature before he heads into old age obscurity.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer and Andrew Dice Clay. It was nice to see Andrew but it seems more like a nostalgic trip than an action comedy movie. It almost seemed more like an endless bunch of skits. To quote Randy Jackson, “It was just alright for me dog.” The witty banter between Pete and Eddie seemed forced, like they were reading for a skit. The two thugs working for Keke were kind of corny. Not really believable. And the plot and some of the action was just too over the top, almost too silly to be believable.

We were promised, to quote the studio, ” high-octane action with sharp humor”. The action was more like regular unleaded and the humor for the most part was pretty dull. The partnership between Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson was described as explosive and hilarious;” The Pickup brings together two generations of comedy for an explosive and hilarious partnership that showcases the chemistry between old-school experience and new-wave energy. Nah, it just kinda fell flat. But again, to quote Randy, it was just alright. Worth a watch, sure. A second time….nah.
