It was somewhat of a surprise when it was announced that streaming giant Netflix would be releasing the next installment in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. The long dormant action comedy film series was last seen 30 years ago. Eddie Murphy has been trying to get a fourth movie made since shortly after wrapping “Beverly Hills Cop 3”, but production sputtered and studio interest waned. Following the departures of numerous writers and directors, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” finally got its green light.
Today Netflix dropped a new trailer that shows Murphy reprising his role as street-smart and wisecracking Axel Foley, a Detroit cop making his return to the posh and pampered Beverly Hills after his daughter’s life is threatened. Familiar faces Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot also return while Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, and Kevin Bacon add a little fresh blood. Can Murphy and company recapture the same mix of action and comedy that once made Beverly Hills Cop a household name? We will know soon enough.
“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” releases July 3rd on Netflix. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

I saw this earlier today as I hope it’s better than the last film as it does look fun. I was so disappointed in the third film when it came out as I grew up on the first two films and loved it as a child but when the third one came. It was such a downer as a lot of us teens wished it was more raunchy and dirty. I hope this film comes back to that.
I agree. I wasn’t high on the third film either.
I was 13 when I saw it in the theaters and never felt so much disappointment walking out of that theater. Not one of the worst experiences I had in a movie theater but I just remember feeling absolutely let down by the whole thing.

Did you like the other films?
I saw all 3 of them on Netflix
I never felt strongly about the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, but this one has JGL in it so you know I’m going to watch.
HaHa!
I quite liked Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2. But it’s funny, they aren’t movies I rush back to.
