Just perfect...

Crappy film

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

As far as sequels go this was one of my favorites i thought it was better then 1 and 3 my opinion one of my favorites TAGGORT: "get out of the pool AXEL, you stole this house ! "AXEL: "How the fu*k can you Steal a house?,.......its my unkle"s house!lmao hahaha

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.

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.

If there were ever a sequel to almost, almost succeed entirely on the charisma and charm of its lead actor, it would be Beverly Hills Cop II, the sequel to the unexpected action-comedy surprise of 1984 that skyrocketed at the box office and made actor Eddie Murphy a high-profile name. It also helped kickstart the career of Martin Brest, a highly underrated director who went on to do films like Meet Joe Black and Midnight Run. The film helped the careers of several involved, and the main problem with the sequel is that it operates as if its predecessor never existed in the strangest possible way.Before elaborating on that, Murphy reprises his role as Detroit police detective Axel Foley, who teams up once again with Beverly Hills detectives Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to stop a gun-smuggling gang after the department's captain is shot and seriously wounded. Of course, when working with Axel, it's never a dull day, as Axel uses his wiseguy attitude, motormouth tendencies, and exaggerated emotions to further himself in the Beverly Hills life, which he learned in the last film, is much different than the kind of "street operations" that are conducted in Detroit.The issue at hand here is that Beverly Hills Cop II, despite undergoing a change in writers and a change in director, simply feels like it's trying to replicate success rather than trying something different with the formula. Even with the visual artist and the dazzling-effects manager of Tony Scott in the director's chair, providing Beverly Hills Cop II with a distinct look and hue in the visual department, the film never feels like it wants to take any chances or provide us with some daring, more elaborate instances that would make it standout rather than seem almost like a remake of its predecessor.The person to thank for not making this feature as glaringly obtrusive as it could've been is definitely Eddie Murphy, who simply doesn't change and doesn't need to. Murphy has such a zippy and energetic comedic flow and talent that his abilities translate beautifully to a sequel, as he winds up giving probably one of the strongest comedic performances in comedy history in the last two films. Murphy's hilarity is only heightened when Larry Ferguson (writer for The Hunt for Red October) and Warren Skaaren (writer for the original Batman and Beetlejuice) create a scene that he can steal without almost any effort, commanding the entire set with his trademarks and his energy. With those scenes, Murphy becomes an unmatchable force of comedic wit.It's a shame the film surrounding Murphy isn't as good as Murphy himself. Outside of its core performance and immersing visual style, Beverly Hills Cop II lays dormant as it is overtaken by a cookie-cutter, forgettable plot and a setup that feels too close to the original to succeed just as well as it did the first time around. Axel Foley is a memorable comic character and Murphy is an amazing comic spirit; both persons deserve more than Beverly Hills Cop II can offer them in a grander term.Starring: Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, and Ronny Cox. Directed by: Tony Scott.
