facts, you knew who they were in the first 10min. even has a 10 year old kid i knew. this film copied the tropes of the first two movies down to a tee lol

But there was always a twist on how to catch them

Its hilarious, the second i saw Kevin Bacon in the opening credits i turned to my dad and said, he’s gonna be the guy who ends up being bad, it would be more of a subversion if he was actually a good guy lmao

Are you forgetting how axel accused the cheif of being dirty after everything they have been through

I was more shocked at how the chief treated Rosewood; HIS OWN PARTNER!

I feel that they showed that the guy is overworked, old, stressed, popping pills like tictacs not to mention constantly badgered by his wife. Both at home and on the job to the point where he just wants a moment of peace. Which results in the falling out with rosewood. And the same happens with Axel, when he first meets him he's overjoyed to see his old friend. Then when shit goes down he goes in to his stressed state. Which caused issues with Axel and the detective who's shown to rile him up beforehand.

Lameasses will justify it by telling you that people change with age.

I'm rewatching bhc 1-3, this was actually quite accurate. He reluctantly recognizes that he's a good cop, but ultimately he's 80s old school.

Who's only purpose is to sit there, pout, and constantly bash the main character because "you weren't there for me, dad!" Getting real sick of this cliche'... almost always feels like a director's self insert fanfiction, rather than something we the audience can actually root behind.

​@blok--head7472 That can be well done, Pacific Rim is a good example. A worse example is that first Whalberg Transformers.

it worked in top gun maverick, it could've worked here too, but the execution was dreadful

​​@@handlebarsmustacheThe only film I can think of that did the whole "moody kid" trope right that actually worked, was in 'The Wrestler' from 2008. *(roll with me for a second...)* Sure, she was rude, whiney, and kind of a bitch to her father, but that film established beforehand how he was dead-focused on a profession that was literally killing him, being a pro wrestler who lived passed his prime. All for just a small glimmer of seeing his fans cheering him on. Which in a way, is no different than a drug addict trying to get their next high. Which is actually very heartbreaking to see unfold, as its happened to many real life wrestlers before. So in that sense, yeah, I can buy her being very avoidant of her dad, and Micky Rouke's character felt that way too. Not even wanting to face her due to his own personal guilt of failing as a father her whole life. That is true emotional weight that felt earned throughout the entire movie. The point Im trying to get at here, is the way they handled in 'The Wrestler', was both respectful but also logical in how their relationship turned out. Which in the end, elevated it rather than hampered the film. Movies now adays, especially "sequels" to long dead franchises, seem to only do it just for forced drama, when really there doesnt need to be. People just want to see their old action heroes on the big screen one last time while the actors who portrayed them are still alive, not so we can have some random, obnoxious teenage douchebag degrade their legacy just for *"muh emotional drama."* It feels so out of place and disrespectful to the character its built around. Idk, thats just my 2 cents on this new "trend" thats going on latley...

​@handlebarsmustache terminator 2 was also a good use. I disliked the kid in alien 2

Yeah I think they got exactly what they were going for...didn't swing for the fences but also put out a competent enough script...which to be fair is rare these days... Loved the subtle joke about how the 3rd movie was bad 😂😂😂

Wokeness- Level?

@@nathanielguggenheim5522 Not much. in fact it was mostly just a bit of a laugh at LA culture and Foley being a bit old school bit still knowing how to play the game.. Old guys cracking the occasional joke at not longer being allowed to be renegade cops causing mayhem. The movie was a surprising amount of fun, the writers clearly liked the original films.

@@nathanielguggenheim5522 kinda cringe who cares if it’s woke

Lameasses will tell you it was a great because of Eddie's tired ass acting.

This movie definitely followed the Maverick formula. Make the character essentially the same but more mature, show that they've grown but still have that same fire, bring in new talent who can keep up with them and whom they can mentor. Have the other characters treat them with respect rather with scorn.

Bladerunner 2049 was great as well.

Gotta agree 👍

Yeah, agree but in Axel's defence this was the "4th movie in the franchise" unlike Top gun having just a sequel!

Complete 100% military propaganda like the original movie was. but that is also simultaneously how they managed to make it a lot of fun. So can't complain too much, who else but Tom cruise can get the navy to actually let them use their expansive equipment if it wasn't for the very flattering narrative?

he was the Luke Skywalker of this movie. They need to find the star map to find Billy Skywalker!

And even the boyfriend was Joseph Gordon Levitt. And it quite sucks because Levitt is a good actor.

Agreed, Levitt was good I though but yes Jane was aweful. Not her , her character

i think she worked, up to getting him back to la, and when she was kidnapped but everything in between she didn't need to be there!

Her acting was a bit stilted

So you've never been to Beverly Hills then...? 🤣

Lameasses will tell you that you are projecting and not accepting of real women. 👎🏻

Not really a high bar to set...

@@blok--head7472 yeah I know but that’s what we get for entertainment now , mediocrity

​@@walterpasquinha9992Doesn't help all the talented/creative writters/actors are all either dead, old, or just never getting the credit they deserved.

How would they know beforehand what the third one would be like? Or the fourth? Unless you try to make another film, there is no way of knowing... And there is no reason why we can't have more Beverly Hills Cop films. If the third one was amazing, you'd say it should be a trilogy. If the fourth one was amazing, you'd probably look forward to the fifth one. I don't mind more content. I enjoyed the fourth one and I'd be happy to have another one. I had a good time! I didn't laugh as much as I would've liked, but maybe the fifth one will be funnier to me.

They should have stopped at 1.

@@christopher399 you're the epitome of "i'm just happy to be here"

@@randomanton Because I enjoyed the film?

Yeah, I felt like I was watching an episode of the George Lopez show. Just a guy getting chewed out by an annoying, worthless character the entire run time. Women Power ✊🏼 I guess...

Forced Anti-Male propaganda... All men are bad dads all men are evil. It is getting fkng old.

If felt like that problem could’ve been fixed already.

Also shorten the cameo from past minor characters would've allowed more time for the things you mentioned.

So, 7 or 8? You can't pick two.

@@ChrisS-nj3ye just did quit being weird

i disagree i think the daughter stuff was pretty solid honestly, and felt pretty realistic. All this dare to change and improve, na it would of ended up as a film that was nothing like bhc at all and be worse for it.

Should add the 'female' cop - as he gets cuffed a lot :P

​@@rugach7377"daughter" should have been enough of a clue.

@ralphengland8559 it's 2024 so no

@rugach7377 well, "female" wouldn't be much help then either.

가스 뿌리는 씬이 재밋었는데, 이 방향이 좋았겠다.

But they just made a movie like this. Why do you copy and paste that same old boomer drivel

Hell no, this was nothing like a classic 80's and 90's movie. Did you see the camera angles & the horrible studio mic audio in the car scenes. The very horrible line delivery that was unbelievable.

Not even close.

It’s easier to explain a loner conspiracy theorist like Rosewood disappearing than a well known lawyer. Kidnapping her was a last resort. At least that’s how it looked like to me.

They can’t depict a male saving a female. It’s misogynistic

@@artvandalay7632 Except Axel literally saved his daughter and the boyfriend saved the both of them from the cartel. Did you even watch the movie? Axel jumped in front of a bullet for her!

@@artvandalay7632 chill bro lol

The Jonny Wishbone bit was from the second movie and he did do it in the new one. What are you talking about?

You're talking guff. They don't want you binging long form high def content all day just for a few ads at the beginning of each episode. Streaming all that content costs a fortune in hosting.

That sounds exactly like the Angry Joe strategy, they don't make really anything good these days, just more content for clicks and monetization.

@@michaelsingle6750 You're talking guff too. As I've already said there is zero business sense in getting people to subscribe to Neflix and watch endless content for a fixed fee. The reason why it's garbage is they want you subscribing and watching nothing becuase it's all rubbish and then they get your subscription fee for nothing.

Definitely was a bad decision. That laugh coulda made this movie so much better for the die hard fans, It reminds me of vanilla ice not wanting anything to do with his music that got him famous. Him stopping the laugh doesn’t change anything and ppl will keep impersonating his laugh. Hopefully he snaps out of it like vanilla ice did.

Too many people making jokes

​@@miamistormz💯 would made it better

Laugh is iconic I was pissed as well.

The boyfriend was actually okay and kind of useful. The girlfriend was a victim of bad writing.

I liked Bobby, he wasn't the stereotypical asshole local cop who looks down on and keeps trying to stop Axel, he was legit useful and dedicated to his job. Unfortunately they made Taggert the local asshole this time.

It's not a trope it's a sad reality

Also 2 was by Top Gun director Tony Scott

...are masterpieces🧑‍🎓

IS A MASTERPIECE

IS A MASTERPIECE !!!

Satan.

come on dude, don't do this. Let the video speak for itself.

His photo is on the wall early in the film as well...tribute was well done.

It's true. As soon as I saw him and remembered that other corrupted guy from BH 3, I knew he was a vilain.

That was such a random cameo but awesome nonetheless.

spoiling a cameo

totally, i feel they need to go back and watch the first two movies. they were always pretty simple action movies. this is no different, but at least it felt like a decent BHC movie and its much better than 3.

I saw it. He gave this one look and straight away thought of Mickey.

She’s pretty wooden. Probably doesn’t have a career and her old man is helping her out

Did Eric Cartman write those scenes, or...

The Last Jedi huh what the f*** are you talking about

​@@alfredooliva5175 The last Jedi was shit is what they are saying and it's true.

​@@alfredooliva5175 reading comprehension huh

@@alfredooliva5175 What I am saying is, that in The Last Jedi, fans wanted to see our favourite characters together - we didn't get that. We got all that here. So it did proper fan service with easter eggs and nod's to the past.

Oh you're one of those people

Can't have titty bars in this century and still get green light

@@MrVvulf Good for you. You want a gold star? You have nothing good to say, then just shut up. Really easy, barely an inconvenience. Go be a wannabe old cranky bastard somewhere else. Also, all of you stop acting like you know shit about writing, I bet you can't even write a post card if your life depended on it.

It was fun. Watch the third one and then watch this one. You'll appreciate it much more.

Yawn indeed, I’m offended they didn’t cast an asian or indian or maybe a white guy for the role of axel - what happened to being diverse and all?

I enjoyed it. It wasn't offensive but there certainly was a bit too much nostalgia stuff in it and it therefore didn't stand on its own legs enough.

​@@nightmareknee942 lol, the logic. "You don't like my food? Eat some 💩 and then you'll like my food" 😅
