Beverly Hills Cop II Audience Reviews

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

chrisjensenjr Hilarious the whole way through. Enaging and funny without being over the top cheesy.

Predrag Of all the Beverly Hills Cop films this is actually the one I prefer. True it focuses less on the development of the Axel Foley character but it's tight linear structure, iconic baddie (in the form of leggy blonde Bridgette Nielson), witty one liners and fast paced action sequences provide the bread and butter of any half decent action flick.. Oh and it also has the added bonus of featuring the Playboy Mansion too.It suits Eddie Murphy perfectly, given that his stage persona is all about being the coolest, biggest personality in the room. Although it presents as a 'fish out of water' story, BHC2 is actually more like the tale of a virus entering a new population that has no immunity to it. Nobody can defend against the motor mouth of Axel, Murphy's character. I sometimes wished someone did in fact, just once, so that he could get out of the situation some other way, but he talked his way out of or into everything perfectly, without fail. It's an enjoyable romp, with a central trio whose friendship I believed in. Scott's fingerprint is visible in the thrilling car chase sequences and (literally) explosive shoot-outs. There's not much depth to it, but you can get that elsewhere, like in the work of Tony Scott's older brother Ridley. Tony (now sadly deceased) did stylish action thrillers, and he did them damn well.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

Uriah43 After his friend "Andrew Bogomil" (Ronny Cox) is shot and critically injured in the line-of-duty in Beverly Hills, Detroit detective "Axle Foley" (Eddie Murphy) rushes to Los Angeles to help out in the investigation. Naturally, since he is out of his jurisdiction and has no authority to investigate this case he has to proceed under false pretenses and to do that he needs his friends "John Taggert" (John Ashton) and "Billy Rosewood" (Judge Reinhold) who happen to be Beverly Hills cops but also happen to be in deep trouble with their boss even before Axle's unexpected arrival. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, while this isn't necessarily a bad film, it suffers in comparison to its predecessor as a certain percentage of the comedy was simply recycled from the original movie. Likewise, there were some scenes which were unnecessarily vulgar as well. But again, it still managed to be fairly entertaining all things considered and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

SnoopyStyle There is a gang of robbers led by Karla Fry (Brigitte Nielsen) on the loose in Beverly Hills leaving notes. Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) went to the FBI for help in investigating the Alphabet crimes. Bogamil gets suspended while Rosewood and Taggart (John Ashton) gets downgraded to traffic by Chief Harold Lutz (Allen Garfield). Then Fry ambushes Bogamil and leaves him near death. Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) comes out to Beverly Hills to solve the Alphabet case and find who shot Bogamil. Taggart is reluctant but the guys help Foley to investigate. It leads to Karla Fry, Charles Cain (Dean Stockwell) and Maxwell Dent (Jürgen Prochnow).Axel Foley is back. That's all that's really needed to be said here. Eddie Murphy is loud and he's irreverent. The second one is more flashy and the Hollywood action is slicker but essentially it's the same movie. The flashier style is probably due to director Tony Scott. While some people may not like the weird Brigitte Nielsen, the first one had the weird Serge. It's a joke-a-minute action machine. Also I didn't realize that Chris Rock was in this one with a small role. It's nice to see.
