#36: Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

This week we’re going back to 1984 to review BEVERLY HILLS COP. What could possibly go wrong for a street smart detective from Detroit who heads to Beverly Hills for an unauthorized investigation into his friend’s murder? Apparently, much less than one might expect from that sort of set up. This fun, breezy film featuring a star-making turn by Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, was one of teen Dave’s favorites. Ashley is a little astounded by how this film seems to be from another era entirely, certainly a time before “gritty” cop shows like NYPD BLUE, THE WIRE, or even LAW AND ORDER became the mainstream.
