Believe it or not. This movie was the highest grossing film of 1984. It beat out Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins and The Karate Kid. That's how insane Eddie Murphy's star power was at the time. Also, I can't wait for you guys to react to "Beverly Hills Cop II". It's a great sequel.

2 years before this, Eddie starred with Nick Nolte in 48 Hours, but I think this is the movie he's most known for. The soundtrack is terrific. And like a true 80s movie, it's rated R, but they never waste time with a cheap romance between Axel and Jinny Summers. They're just close friends. I appreciate a movie like this, with Eddie clearly playing a horny young guy, that doesn't get bogged down with a shoehorned romance that wouldn't have made sense for the characters or the plot. This was a movie initially made for Sylvester Stallone, but he wasn't comfortable with some of the humour, so they took the structure of the film and made Cobra for him, giving the role of Axel Foley to Eddie Murphy.

The song in the beginning with the police chase scene was "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters (one of my favorite songs) and the song playing in the beginning of the film was "The Heat Is On" by the late Glen Frey from The Eagles. Then there is "Axel F" which is the instrumental theme that was played throughout the film. Eddie Murphy's supervisor Inspector Todd was played by Gil Hill who was a police officer in real life. I hope you guys watch the sequel "Beverly Hills Cop 2" from 1987 which is actually quite good.

In 1982 he was hired to bring SNL back to life after they lost their original cast from the first 5-6 years. He also release comedy ALBUMS, called Delirious in 1982, Comedian in 1983, and RAW in 1988. He started in movies in 1982 and became the biggest box office male for the 80s. He had an incident with a transvestite prostitute in the early 90s and went away, came back as a kids movie actor.

It's so awesome for black American brothers & sisters. That were born in the late 80's or past, watching Eddie's movies. He was always one of my favorite black actors in 80's movies! You want to see another 2 great Eddie Murphy movies from the 80's, besides Trading Places? Check out "48 Hours"! He's just like this, but a criminal, helping out a White cop. He's more serious, & doesn't play with other criminals BS! 👍🏼 His 80's movies were the best he ever did, honestly IMO!

The price of the Beverly Hills Hotel is currently about $250.00 a night for a single room. A suite can be as much as $2500.00. This movie followed Edde Murphy's debut in the movie 48 HOURS. You guys really need to look at that movie. His successful career was launched on Saturday Night Live a few years earlier and included a comedy concert film called DELIRIOUS. Sometimes, you guys are as funny as Eddie. Like when Asia starts fussing at BJ about something random. I did notice that BJ NEVER, NEVER, fussed at her. But that's the way love goes. Enjoy

Just looked up the room rate for the Beverly Hills Palms Hotel ... Trip-Advisor lists a single room rate of $1902.00 per night for a standard single room.

I’ll never forget the incredible soundtrack to this movie… Especially “Neutron Dance” (from The Pointer Sisters) & “Axel F”, by Harold Faltermeyer 👍😁. This movie is a CLASSIC!!! ✊😆

Great reaction! One of my favorites from back in the day. Another unforgettable role by Murphy is in a shamefully underrated movie called Bowfinger (1999). Steve Martin plays an aging, never made it film director trying to scam his way into a major movie deal. And Eddie has a great dual role as two brothers: one is an over the top Action movie star, and the other is a nerdy, socially awkward nobody who isn’t close to his brother. Eddie is perfect and completely opposite in both roles. It’s a crazy story with a great cast that was largely neglected, as sometimes happens. It would make a great reaction.

When Nokia cell phones first came out , you could change your ringer. And my ringer was changed to this movie theme song. ❤ great movie.

Great reaction! On a side note, I came across one of your old videos yesterday where you mentioned your music. First time I heard about this. I listened to your stuff and your voice is beautiful! Loved medicine! Good stuff!

BHC is such a classic, glad you added it to your channel. The sequels are also good too. The killing of Michael Tandino was so dark. For an action comedy, that scene was very raw and realistic and really bothered me when I was younger. I was not expecting such an brutal death that was just so unflinching in it's execution. Honestly though, it really set the tone for Axel's motivation and it's such a great film. Great reaction!!

@Asia and BJ while there is part of me that goes wtf.... what rock were you two amazing people under not to see this :). However, the 75% of me is just too damn happy to see you both enjoy what I FEEL is one of his top 3 or 4 films. NO ONE ever came on film as Murphy did his first films were 48 hours, Trading Places, and This, He was a megastar. To see Asia laugh and Bj laugh too was a treat. ty Both and thanks to your amazing patrons who allow us all who can not to enjoy you all full time.

Sylvester Stallone was supposed to play this role but he didn't like the comedy. He rewrote the script which eventually became the movie Cobra.

Everyone wanted Eddie Murphy for movie roles after his superstar status from Saturday Night Live, and his national stand up comedy tours. My favorite was "The Golden Child"

This was Eddie Murphy at his peak, still fresh off of Saturday Night Live. He just lit up the room. God damn I miss the 80’s! Great reaction.

One thing I love about his character is that he can lie to get his way into whatever. Especially in the sequel. And he's extremely funny in both movies

I used to watch this movie and the 2nd one over and over again as a kid. Whenever ot would rerun on Comedy Central I would watch it. Still one of my favorites, and oddly comforting. Reminds me of childhood.
