I was pleasantly surprised that Gordon-Levitt's character didn't magically overcome his past trauma and become an ace pilot simply because the plot needed him to. I assumed this tired trope from the minute Murphy made fun of him "not cutting it."

I love how they kept an all 80s musical score, in it's original form, throughout the entire movie. And the jokes werent forced. It was a fun watch.

I thought it was freaken awesome to see Shooter McGavin make a cameo. ⛳️

Fun fact: The kid at the beginning who flips off Foley and says “Fuck you Foley!” was me! Happy you enjoyed the film Dan!

I never realized how young Eddie Murphy was in the original Beverly Hills cop (only 23 years old) He looks great still for 63.

I miss these kind of movies. This was so good.

Holy moly, that's a cast! Even Bronson Pinchot is back!

Murphy and Levitt have good chemistry. I enjoyed this movie more than part 3. It was surprisingly good.

So sad this didn’t come to theaters, Beverly Hills cop is a film my dad and I love to watch together we absolutely would have shown up for this

Perfect timing! My wife and I just finished watching the film. We had a great time! Classic 80s action comedy - a hell of a lot of fun!

It's got everything you need in a Beverley Hills cop film. Pure uncut nostalgia. Axel, Rosewood, Taggart, Serge and the soundtrack. Better than 3 but still way off the first 2.

This movie definitely should have been in the theaters!! They did this movie right 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I really wish that this was in theaters.

A very enjoyable 2 hours... great FUN

It feels like such a missed opportunity! This definitely feels like a theater worthy film

I really wish that this was going to be in theaters. It definitely would have made at least 30 million this weekend. Netflix needs to stop dumping stuff on their streaming service and try to make their money back.

This would have totally worked as prime "take your Dad to see" movie. It's unfortunate that they didn't put this one out. It would have been a great boost for theatrical exhibition. Never the less, great review i'm off to do the Neutron Dance, Happy 4th.

if you think about the fact, that Sylvester Stallone was originally casted for the role but wanted to rewrite the original script for a more rougher movie. Luckily that never came to life for Beverly Hills Cop, but Stallone took his script and made Cobra.

We just need a Bad Boys/ Beverly Hills Cop crossover before it’s too late. 😂

Netflix fumbling their ability to not only make more money and garner more attention for their movies by not releasing this into theaters for a few weeks before coming to the steaming service

It was such a good legacy sequel! I’m honestly shocked! This was my grandad’s fav franchise (and mine) and I’m so sad to say he’s no longer with us and won’t be able to see it! He would have loved it ❤

I just finished it. And personally I thought it was a home run of a movie. I remember watching the original back in the day. And this just had it. Action, comedy and the nostalgia of seeing the old cash come back. Cannot wait for another installment.

I was consistently chuckling throughout, as far as late/re-boot sequel/remakes go… it was a fun one.

Out of all the hilarious banter and set pieces in this movie, I swear the biggest grin I had on my face was when Eddie Murphy was telling a guy he was "layered, like a beautiful onion". They knew exactly what they were doing.

Fortunately for me I watched it in a movie theater where I live at and felt that I made the right choice to watch it on the big screen instead of on Netflix

Joseph Gordon levitt and Taylor paige we're really solid choices for the new cast addition. They add charm charisma and overall weight dept as important pieces to the story.

they play the heat is on, shakedown and Neutron dance in the first 25 minutes with two different car chases, holy nostalgia Batman. I liked it a lot!

Really good film. Good actors that seamlessly blend, doesn't feel like a nostalgia trap at all. Bravo Netflix

Great to see the gang back together, even some of the “side quest characters” like Serge. As it stands….. Beverley Hills Cop 1, 2, 4……………………………..3.

Some actors were missing but it still caught the nostalgia when John Ashton and Paul Reiser coming back! Loved it!

Great review Dan! Happy 4th!!! I am very stoked to watch my man Axel back on the big small screen, that mix of comedy and action is delicious.

I loved it. The 1994 Movie's premise was ridiculous. This was so much better because it was classic Axel. Kicking butt taking names and escaping consequences . It helped that John Ashton came back as Taggert. I would have loved a Cameo by now Retired Chief Bogomil. However, I am glad that Ronny Cox and the late Gil Hill are not forgotten by the movie. In Jeffery's office, there is a Picture of Inspector Todd. if you look quickly enough during the film there is a shot showing Pictures of Chief Hubbard, Chief Lutz and Chief Bogomil

2:11 well even before that he tried to revive beverly hills cop as a TV show that focused on Axel's son and had already shot the unaired pilot. The reason why CBS didn't pick up the show was because executives thought that Murphy was gonna be in the entire series but in actuality he was only gonna be in the pilot. The unaired pilot can be found on the internet archive and pieces of it can be found on KZfaq.

Beverly Hills and Badboys both release part 4 in the same year weeks apart is amazing. Did someone say crossover incoming?

It’s funny to think Joseph Gordon Levitt is 20 years older than Murphy was in the first 1 - he’s even way older than Taggart was and taggart was supposed to be the tired old guy

I am 60 and pretty much grew up with Eddie. I loved this film and so happy he got it made. Great review and I agtee, it would have been a blast in the theater but also glad that I could enjoy it on my couch.

Well, it was better than the 1994 version. And that's the best I can say about it.

I also really enjoyed it - it was a fun action movie - not as good as the original, but it captured enough of the fun of it to feel like it delivered a nostalgic touch of the Eighties. Agree it would have been great to have seen it in a cinema rather than on my TV.

OMG… The chopper scene is off the chain😂😂😂😂😂

I loved the movie, all the old characters where great and the new once hit the right spot, loved it.

More proof the 80s can never be replaced, reproduced or remastered. The 80s were the best ever.

Im shocked by how positive reviews are. Its not horrible but its not good.

A beautiful homage to BHC 1 and 2. I watched this last night with my 18 year old son, who is also a huge BHC fan. We loved this movie . A great way to close the franchise

I loved BHC 1 & 2. Some of my favourite films growing up 3 was ok. I really hope this is good. 🙏 Also, Axel F is one of the greatest earworms to have ever been recorded.

Great review!

This would've hit way stronger if I had seen this in a theater. Beverly Hills Cop was my childhood so I've been waiting for this. My viewing experience was just okay watching this at home. Not bad, not great.

Even with such a huge gap.. I still loved it❤ Eddie didn't let me down.. unlike bad boys

I didn’t hate it, but I can’t say I really liked it either. It had some good stuff going for it, but goddamn I hate that “hey, remember that thing from earlier movies!” shit. And Christ did this movie lean into that shit. For me, it REALLY hurt the movie. I literally facepalmed every time they did a callback, so I was facepalming a lot.

I'm so happy to hear this is good. Thanks Dan!

I tried watching it yesterday and had to stop before an hour in. I wasn't very polished to me and felt half hearted

Well, at least we can also say that this was an improvement over its past two predecessors.

Just goes to show you how good movies can STILL be. Great movie and it brought me back to my youth. Weird that Eddie Murphy didn't age at all.

Totally agree. Time well spent!

Shooter McGavin? I snorted at least 5 times. 11/11.

This looks "good" (funny), but we're doing a Cyborg marathon today. Just found Cyborg 2 on Roku, &, bizarrely, my wife has never seen Cyborg 1. *I think that I had it on VHS long ago.

I don’t know🤔…I can’t sense the same passion from the first 3 films in this one, it seems….sorta disconnected from what we have become used to😐

Loved it!

I had a great time watching this with the wife. Hope others are able to enjoy it this coming weekend. Great popcorn movie for sure! 👍

I'm sort of split on the movie, on the one hand it's great seeing Murphy back in this role, but on the other I wish there could have been more scenes of Foley, Rosewood and Taggart all together again. If there is going to be a 5th one which I hope the trio will be at the for front again.

Top Gun 2-Hit the mark. Ghostbusters- Hit the Mark .Axel F- Hit the mark. Back to the Greaties.

The film tries to be "fresher" only as much as necessary, and otherwise recreates the atmosphere of the originals. It's even quite charming in that. All those clichés, put in here consciously, that slight naiveté familiar from 80s films... without trying to make a film completely serious or turn conventions upside down. It was fun.

I enjoyed it. I wish Taggert didn't play the typical chief. He should have been pretending to be on the take or something to that effect. We didn't get the iconic laugh either, but thats ok.

Love that Crash Bandicoot shirt.

Loved this movie! Was it the greatest installment in the franchise, likely not. But, it certainly compensated for the third sequel and revitalized my fondness for Axel Foley. An overall solid piece of work with some great fan service paid along the way.

Good news!! Thanks Dan!

The Blonde Woman he drives by in Beverly Hills, is she the same from every movie?

It was great. I loved every second.

BHC 1 and 2 is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I wish it was in theaters like Top Gun Maverick. Was nervous Netflix released it since majority of their movies suck. So glad your review is positive.

I enjoyed the movie too but there was one little thing that caught my eye a few times. It may have just been me, but did anyone else notice some odd framing on some of the closeups? I noticed that quite a bit of the top of peoples heads were cut off due to framing. Didn't take anything away from the movie, just felt a little too close lol

thanks Dan because i wasnt sure if i wanted to watch this after wasting time with Coming 2 America

Excellent review, Dan. Pretty consistent and a very tough nut to crack - could have done with more laughs but probably much better than could reasonably be expected.

I am so happy to hear this is good. I love the Beverly Hills Cop series. I will be watching!

Eddie did mention how everything needed to be right for another Beverly Hills Cop movie to come out and I'm glad they took their time with it. Anything rushed could've been as bad or worse than the 3rd film

I was watching this and at one point I definitely was like, oh man, I really wish I was watching this in a theater. It was so good. And I’m a huge Beverly Hills Coo fan.

Part 3 don't exist to me!!

Great video, man.

You earned another subscriber my friend.

I’m a HUGE movie lover/fanatic and aspiring actress. I’ve already watched 21 new movie releases in the movie theater this year including Maxxxine which was my most highly anticipated movie of the year. This was another good movie review. I would love for you to rank the Beverly Hills Cops franchise and review and rank the Despicable Me and T. I. West trilogy since they all have new movie releases this year. ❤❤❤❤

As a hefty dose of nostalgia, I liked it. It felt entirely unnecessary to me though and was way too late to try and bring back these characters. I don't feel like it ever really truly recaptured the magic. It's like one of those delicious five star dinners at whatever high priced restaurant when you get it to go, then you take it home and a day later try to reheat it. Sure it's the same food, but it's just not the same, something's not quite right. BHC 1 and 2 are among my favorite films of the 80s. There was a subtle dig at his 94 outing and how it wasn't received so well at one point in the movie, broke the 4th wall a little and that was funny but, yeah, I'd lump this in with 94.

It's interesting to me that you say Axel's daughter isn't just a one note character and their relationship isn't just one note because I watched Sean Chandler's review and he was saying that he found her to be very one note and that was probably his biggest criticism of the film. Just a neat little observation.

I wish those Beverly Hills Cop toys that Shaq was promoting were real

This would have been great in a theater

Loved it but... What happened to JGL's character in the end? No resolution?

Yeah BHC 4 Axel F is a return to why we all fell in love with the films as a whole as well as the Axel Foley character, good jokes, one liners, quick wits. Also pretty intriguing detail story about one of the task force behind the cop murder and distribution of drugs for the cartel.

This is a fantastic film. I enjoyed it! A real trip down memory lane! And I love the 80s! **Spoiler** One of my favorite moments is when Axel tries to rent a hotel room. And the movie actually addresses how tired he was about having to con his way into anything. I really appreciated that!

I am so excited for this movie

I enjoyed it! For some reason, I feel like the 80s/90s big stars are actually just as good or better during this phase of their lives.

I thought it was a solid, entertaining film, but only two things would've improved it: Eddie bringing back his trademark sealion laugh (he doesn't do that anymore) and a little less use of the Axel F theme. I counted at least four different versions.

good video thanks

Thought you said Mark Mylod of Succession and The Menu fame had directed this and I was like WHAT!?

I liked it hopefully we'll see a physical media release to compete my Beverly hills cop collection

I did get to watch this in a theater, since I live close to Pacific Palisades, and this was a great film to see at the movies, even if my mom and I were the only ones I could hear laughing. I honestly don't know why this wasn't given a bigger release. I want the DVD!

I was so Happy watching this movie. Serge being Serge.

Great movie.

Huge fan of this franchise! I’ve watched this twice now and you’re spot on about how this movie is not trying to reinvent the main characters to fit the time but rather have the exact same characters navigate through this very different time. You can just feel how Eddie, John, Judge & even Bronson slipped right back into their characters like an old pair of slippers! There was only 1 thing I was hoping to at least hear (or see) & Axcel only mentioned this once - who is Jane’s mother? Janice from BHC3 ?? - after all she was about to take him to the ‘tunnel of love’ at the end of the movie 🤪

Netflix feels like a good match because it had a bit of Made For TV vibe but it was still miles above the 1994 sequel. As far as I'm concerned this is the official Part 3 of the trilogy.

I loved it big Beverly Hills cop fan and I think it lived up to the hype only thing missing was the ehe he he classic axel foley laugh

Fun Fact: Beverly Hills Cop 3 is a darned good movie.

I enjoyed this movie

Yeah I wasn’t sure about this but was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. You are right it feels like Axel! It felt thought out and fun
