Axel went to the "exotic dance establishment" because he wanted to (enjoying the "sights" and bonding with the two BH detectives). The robbery was just a coincidence, but because Axel had the eye for such things, he was quick to react to it.
The original draft for Beverly Hills Cop was written with Sylvester Stallone in mind. Stallone turned the Axel Foley role down. That original version was later used for the Stallone film Cobra, from my understanding. Gil Hill who played Inspector Todd was an actual Detroit police inspector at the time he appeared in this and Beverly Hills Cop 2. He basically portrayed himself, except he didn't swear as much off camera. He retired from law enforcement when he was elected to the Detroit City Council in 1989. He left politics a few years later during a political scandal involving the mayor. His final film role was once again as Inspector Todd in Beverly Hills Cop 3 in 1994. Gil quit acting shortly after Beverly Hills Cop 3. He passed away in 2016.
"That's not me, man, I'm from Buffalo." 😅 So many lines like that nobody talks about I notice all these years later.
Fun fact: Lisa Eilbacher (Jenny) almost got the Princess Leia role in 1977’s Star Wars instead of Carrie Fisher!
I love Lisa Eilbacher! I always thought she should have been a bigger ⭐️. She would have been good in the Leia role I think! Imagine her in the gold bikini. 🤤. Haha. Just sayin. She’s got a bosom.
thats very interesting, I always liked Lisa and wondered what other things she did, SHE certainly was a stunning lady.
And this is a relatively strong role for a female supporting actor at the time. Not just a damsel in distress or girlfriend waiting at home but someone who got to show a bit of independent agency.
She also had more integrity than candidate Mayo in, An Officer and a Gentleman
Lisa Eilbacher will always be Seagard in An Officer and a Gentleman for me...
Detroit Police Inspector Todd was played by a real Detroit police inspector, Gilbert Hill (1931-2016). He said that he didn't yell at people and seldom swore, but the air of authority about him was real. He was spotted and signed for just that reason. I knew he was real when he said, "It's not a request, Axel."
He was on Detroit's city council and ran (unsuccessfully) for mayor.
That’s cool!
Beverly Hills Cop had one of the best soundtrack from the 80’s and that’s saying a lot. Since you two enjoyed the first one, the sequel is going to be a supreme treat
Between Axel F, The Heat Is On, and Neutron Dance, there was NO escaping the soundtrack 😂
@@dr.burtgummerfan439crazy how iconic certain movies can be if they're made right!
@@reservoirdude92 In the 80s, everybody with a piano, Casio keyboard, or even a xylophone learned to play Axel F.🤣
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Harold Faltermeyer could have retired on residuals for that song ALONE 🤣
Well. 84 was a pretty good year for sound track considering terminator and a few more
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 ladies to react to "Beverly Hills Cop II". It's a great sequel.
Steep competition!
And don’t forget Purple Rain!
I concur
Wait......it beat out THOSE?!! Jeez, I didn't even know that and I was born in '85.
It was actually the highest grossing R rated comedy until decades later.
1 of 2 movies that changed buddies, cops, music, racism, language, comedy, forever, and Eddie has both! This and 48 hours!
"Before I go, I just want you two to know something, alright? The supercop story... was working. Okay? It was working, and you guys just messed it up. Okay? I'm trying to figure you guys out, but I haven't yet. But it's cool. You fuck up a perfectly good lie."
Fun Fact: Film debut of Damon Wayans and Alice Cadogan. Gilbert R. Hill, a real-life Detroit Police Department Homicide Detective, played Inspector Todd. Hill later served as President of the Detroit City Council.
Projection Headline Fact: During his tirade at the Beverly Palms Hotel, Axel (Eddie Murphy) pretends to be writing an article called "Michael Jackson: Sitting On Top Of The World" for Rolling Stone magazine. In real life, Playboy ran an Eddie Murphy article with the same "Sitting On Top Of The World" subtitle.
Double Assault Fact: The mansion used in the final shootout between Axel (Eddie Murphy) and Maitland (Steven Berkoff), the former Harold Lloyd estate in Beverly Hills, is the same mansion seen in the final shootout between Matrix and Arius in Commando (1985). Coincidentally, both heroes were trying to rescue somebody named Jenny (Lisa Eilbacher) in that mansion in their respective films.
What Script Fact: Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, and Judge Reinhold improvised most of their comic lines. Literally hundreds of takes were ruined by cast members, actors, or the director laughing during shooting. During the "super-cops" monologue, Ashton is pinching his face hard and looking down in apparent frustration. He is actually laughing. Reinhold put his hand in his pocket and pinched his thigh really hard, trying to prevent himself from laughing.
"This is the cleanest police car I've been in" love this movie
Share your thoughts, subscribe and give the video a 👍🏻💚 I (Michelle) give it 4 🦉
Eddie backed out of Ghostbusters to Star ⭐ in this movie. It was originally offered to Sylvester Stallone who was working on Rambo First Blood part II or Cobra IDK ❤️🙂✅💯
I wa born in ‘78 but I have watched this movie since I was a kid and it’s still one of my favorites. Eddie Murphy was at the top of his game in the 80s. I remember my dad having the soundtrack LP. It’s still an awesome set of songs- Axel F, The Heat is On, Stir it Up, Neutron Dance.
Axel’s drink routine in the stop club still cracks me up. “Hey Phillip, gimme a kiss baby.”
Glad you lovely ladies watched this. I hope you have some good scary movie reactions lined up for October.
We are lining up the scary movies! 😎
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment That's awesome. If I may make a suggestion, I'd go with "The Howling" from 1981. You won't regret it.
@@McPh1741- That was a good werewolf movie by Joe Dante 😁
Great stuff🔥 40 years next year since this came out, was a fave of my growing up, still one of the best action/comedies and buddy cop films. Murphy at his best was untouchable
Murphy is fantastic!!
That Axel F theme is so catchy. Can't get enough of it 🎶
Can't get enough of you lovely ladies either. 💜💚
Aww thank you!!
The guy that played Eddie's boss, Inspector Todd, in Detroit was a real Detroit Officer, Gilbert Roland Hill. He later became a councilman for Detroit and even ran for Mayor of Detroit. He has brief parts in the 2 sequels. They filmed that rig chase scene over a few days. I can remember hearing they had streets closed for a "film" shooting in Detroit. We didn't find out till later that it was Beverly Hills Cop.
If you've seen the real life documentary (not the movie, but the doc. ) about White Boy Rick, apparently he was not a good dude,the cop that played Todd, really corrupt.
@@Sheisthedevilyouknowwho-ft9we Back in the 70s...80s... and into the 90s most of the Detroit Council/Mayor Office/Police Department were under multiple accusations of bribery and corruption. A few of them were convicted. Many of them avoided prosecution. Mr. Hill was one of the ones that had many accusations but nothing ever stuck. Just to clarify... I was not praising Mr. Hill. Only offering trivia that the man playing a cop was a real police officer. Have a great weekend!
The guy who played Mickey also played Marshall Poole on Open Range.
Fun fact: The movie was originally written as a serious action movie for Sly Stallone, he couldn’t do the part so Eddie Murphy took over and improvised most of the comedy in the movie. Due to Eddie taking this role, he couldn’t take the role of Winston, the black ghostbuster. Eddie said he didn’t regret it as it made him the first mainstream black action star, but did say his biggest regret in his career was turning down the Bob Hoskins role in White Framed Roger Rabbit because he didn’t understand the technology.
Finally got home to discover that you guys have a Beverly Hills Cop watch reaction. I’m now seated and ready to watch Michelle and Natalie laugh 😂 their butts off to this hilarious movie 🍿
☺️☺️
Been watching Beverly Hills Cop since the 80s! One of those movies if I'm flipping channels and it's on, I'm watching it no matter how far along it is. Eddie is just a natural!!!
17:34 They purposely cast actors who looked like models (for the regular cops) to emphasise the difference between the Detroit PD and Beverly Hills PD. The same goes for the sci-fi esque computers they have blinking away in their control room.
Makes sense!
Of the many fun fats about this movie, one of the biggest is that Eddie Murphy could've been in another movie. At the same time, the script for the original Ghostbusters movie was being written. The role of Winston was written specifically for Eddie Murphy. However, he was already attached to Beverly Hills Cop. While I believe that the original Ghostbusters would've been a much bigger hit with Eddie Murphy, as all 3 of the main actor Ghostbusters actors were Saturday Night Live alum and in the 80s Saturday Night Live alum were doing great in movies, Beverly Hills Cop was the role Eddie Murphy needed to become one of the Saturday Night Live alum that carried a movie.
Sylvester Stallone was originally offered the role of Foley. He was allowed to rewrite the script a bit and changed it to be less funny and more serious. That movie became Cobra.
What's also fun is that the police chief (or whatever his title is) in Detroit isn't an actor. He is/was a Detroit detective. Later became a police chief and ran for office or something.
He wasn't allowed to a change it, so he turned his suggestions into Cobra instead.
2 and 3 are also great. Some think 3 isn't as good but I LOVE all 3 movies! 👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
I loved all 3 also ✌️
@@MLJ7956 Thank you Michael 👍👍😉😉😊😊👗👗👠👠🥰🥰💋💋❤❤
Another fun fact.... the guy checking Axel out of the hotel at the end is the director of the movie
The .38 Special typically has a cylinder capacity of five rounds and was a standard police issued sidearm throughout most police agencies nationwide in the 70s and early to mid 80s
If you do this series, you also need to do 48 Hours 1 and 2. Eddie Murphy is a great comedian. In this movie he has a Browning Hi Power 9mm, which the British SAS has used forever basically. The Pointer Sisters music was fantastic, esp. Neutron Dance! Lisa Eilbacher was really hot and has an interesting history being born in Saudi Arabia to an oil executive. The dynamic between Detroit PD and Hollywod PD is amusing and sad. This was a fun and great movie. I really loved it back in that day for sure.. for sure ... like totally for sure. (80s lingo there)
I didn't notice the Hi Power: my favorite handgun. I had one when I was a cop in the 60s. I think I was the only cop in Harris County Texas carrying a 9mm. I also had another Browing masterpiece: the Winchester model 1897 12ga.
You guys really know how to take in a movie and not just talk over them the whole time. Perfect reaction 👌
Thank you!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment you got it 👍
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley is currently filming. Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Broson Pinchot, and Paul Riser are returning in their original roles. Joseph Gordon Levitt and Kevin Bacon have also signed on as new characters. The film is scheduled to be released on Netflix sometime in 2024.
Fun FACT THE ACTOR WHO PLAYED THE GUY WHO KILLLED AXEL BEST FRIEND PLAYED A COP IN THE MOVIE 48 HOURS WITH EDDIE MURPHY AND HIS CHARACTER WAS KILLED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE. HE ALSO WAS ON THE SHOW breaking bad and the movies gremlins and airplane
7:04..Good eye, That is young "Mike" from Breaking Bad..But his first role was one of the dispatchers in that crazy comedy called "Airplane", just a few lines, probably the only time he ever played something besides a thug! Ronnie Cox (Bev. Hills cheif) went on to play some mean heavies himself in Total Recall and Robocop. This movie jumped Murphy from TV star to Box-office megastar, and he was just getting started..Love the reactions,ladies..Natalie's smile and laugh always make my day!
That’s right!!
☺️ 🤗
Another fun FACT, sly Stallone supposed to star in this movie and was given creative control of the story but he when the way from the original concept of it being the comedy and made it a action so there's studio decided to replace him with Eddie Murphy and the movie Stallone wrote ended up being called cobra started his ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen who ended up in Beverly hills cop 2

Loved this movie when it came out. Especially the bar takedown scene of the guy with the shotgun. Some suggestions for other movies. Adventures in Babysitting, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, St. Elmo's Fire, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink.
Thanks!
I've seen this movie probably a dozen times. I got to admit I never noticed that the cops are all over 6 ft full head of hair good-looking cops🤷🏻♂️
Well you are a guy 😜😂
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentOh good point, I'm also straight probably hindered me😂
But I did notice *Michelle & Red* looking good as always👍😉
@@CaddyJim aww thank you!!
Bronson Pinchott who played Serge improvised his entire scene, you can see Eddie trying not to break.
You cant watch this without watching the second movie, its just as great.
The original BHC is #4 on my list of my favorite movies of all time, as perfect an action-comedy as one could find. The second is a lot of fun, too, just not quite up to the first. The third is absolutely terrible, getting everything wrong about the franchise; even Eddie Murphy thinks so.
Axel Foley was originally offered to Sly Stallone. Stallone wanted to make it a serious action so it didn’t work out. At the last minute they offered it to Eddie Murphy. The rest is history.
Jacob's Ladder (1990) stars Tim Robbins and Elizabeth Pena a hidden gem of a Film
The film is about a Divorced Vietnam Veteran Turned Postman Jacob Singer is disturbed when he begins to be plagued by bizarre and violent hallucinations so strong are the images that the line between past and present , begins to dissolve and Jason Alexander makes a appearance and plays as a lawyer
In the 80's law enforcement had not upgraded to 9mm's yet. Here in my area of Fla, 38's and 357's were still being carried.
And as for the lights. There was no L.E.D.
emergency lights of the day were either sealed beam, halogen, or strobe.
Eddie Murphy was in a Vampire movie something like A Vampire In Brooklyn 🤔
80's classic! One of my favorites! Great reaction! I enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you!!
You're welcome! 😊
1984 was a terrific year for movies. Among others: Ghostbusters, The Terminator, Gremlins, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Star Trek III, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Karate Kid, Terms of Endearment, Splash, The Natural and of course, this.
Instrumental tune you notice in movie is ‘Axel F’ by Harold Faltermeyer. Written for the movie and was a real musical staple of the 80s.
I saw it in the theater when I was 7 years old. Grandmother took me to see it.
Interesting "grass is greener on the other side of the fence thing" .... US cops back then did generally not have automatic (machine gun) weapons and were given shotguns. West German Police (this is before the unification of Germany) had sub machine guns but NOT shotguns even though they did want them. Interersting. I am talking HK MP5 9mm vs. Mossberg 590 12 gauge. Look it up.
The reason you see a lot of officers with six shooters, 9mm, or shotguns in older movies is because those were standard issue for cops back then. Prior to the mid-late 90's cops weren't commonly carrying semi-auto rifles, and other high powered weapons. It wasn't really until the North Hollywood Bank Robbery, that cops started getting some more advanced weapons/militarizing (though, part of the militarization was also surplus military equip that the Gov't was like...sure, let's give them an armored APC, why not).
I definitely recommend Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) and Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)
One of my ALL time favorites!! How did I miss this one?
I was born and raised in Detroit. It was like a walk down memory lane lol.
One of the funniest action comedy movies ever made!
Originally, Sylvester Stallone was going to write and star in the movie, as he wanted it to be more darker, violent and action packed without any of the humor. When Paramount executives read the script, it was rejected, and Stallone turned his version of Beverly Hills Cop into the 1986 thriller COBRA.
All cops in the 1980s used revolvers,maybe a few exceptions.
Not the best for situations they find themselves in.
A revolver is often more reliable than an automatic, and Billy dont need so many bullets with his aim :)@@ForceOfLightEntertainment
@@SomeinsanegenuisI was a cop for 25 years and I’ll take an automatic over a revolver any day. More rounds and easier to reload.
Fact: Back in the earlier years, cops took revolvers because they were easier to maintain than pistols
48 HOURS .... Eddie Murphy's first movie I believe, is also worth a watch. While it has some funny parts, it is a serious cop movie.
The Fly 1986 Jeff Golblum & Geena Davis / that Beverly Hills Cop theme song was a big hit in 1984
Axel was messing "Mike" up for real. Lol "Hey Cuz"
Movies for October:
"Fallen" (1998)

3. Serge/Bronson Pinchot was in a short-lived series "Perfect Strangers".
4. Jenny/Lisa Eilbacher played Segar in "An Officer and a Gentleman" HINT HINT
5. Maitland/Steven Koff is one of the best bad guys ever!😁 He also played the Soviet Colonel in Rambo II.
6. Billy/Judge Reinhold played Brad Hamilton in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".
I didn't see "The Mist" on your collection, and I would like to have you add to your October list. Stephen King.
ladies keep the series going with beverly hills cop 2-3 but 4 is in the works.
If you like Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills cop you might like him in 48 hours. This would be a great movie in the theater if they ever released it again. I hope someday you all have a watch party Where are you watch movies with your channel members. Chrissie Mayr used to do that, and it was a blast.
Thanks DL!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Your welcome.
You might have heard the theme in Family Guy - Peter repeatedly dances to it. 😄
Girls...when you get the chance watch "smokey and the bandit"...its not a movie its a documentary on southern charm at its finest...it should be shown on the travel channel
The theme was played a lot on the radio throughout the late 80’s and early 90’s.
Rator!!! Thank you so much! 😭🥰😍 God bless you!
Rator!!! Wow!!! Thank you kind sir!! 🤩🎉☺️😁🙌🏻

"Kiss the Girls" (1997)
"Along Came A Spider" (2001) sequel to "Kiss The Girls"
"Eye of the Beholder" (1999)
"Blood Work" (2002) directed by Clint Eastwood
"Manhunter" (1986) based on the book "Red Dragon", much better than the 2002 remake
"The Silence of the Lambs" (1991) sequel to "Manhunter"
"Tightrope" (1984) directed by Clint Eastwood
"Jade" (1995)
"Fatal Attraction" (1987)
"Sea Of Love" (1989)
Most police departments in the US were still using revolvers (.38 Special or .357 Magnum) as their standard issue service weapons until the late 1980's/early 1990's (a few used 1911's), and even when they did start to change over to automatics, detectives and commanders were the last to switch, as usually a small nub-nose revolver was a status symbol of being a detective or supervisor rather than a uniformed patrol officer. The largest department in the US, NYPD, was one of the last to change in the early 1990's.
I remember seeing Beverly Hills Cop at the theater in 1984..I was 24 at the time.
The captain tells the cops to drive Foley to the city limits. In beverly hills, that’s about 3 blocks from the police station.
Since Michelle commented on the revolvers and lack of semi-auto pistols in this movie, remember this is prior to the US Military adopting the Beretta 92F (M9), 15 shots in 9mm, which was then featured in many movies thereafter like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. Prior to that the US military sidearm was the semi-auto Colt 1911 dating back to the WWI, which shot .45 ACP and held 7 rounds in the magazine (if it has a spring in it, it's a magazine not a clip). Eddie Murphy had a Browning Hi-Power, designed in 1939 and used by the British SAS. It is in 9mm with a 13 round magazine. The semi-auto handgun Lt. Bogomil shot Victor Maitland with was a Smith & Wesson 639 in stainless steel, also 9mm. Billy was shoot a Colt detective in .38 special that looks to be a 2 inch barrel with 5 shots. This is a "snub nose" revolver and not very accurate at longer distances. Sergeant John Taggart had the more classic police revolver, a model 19 in .357 magnum. Victor Maitland outdid them all with a Smith & Wesson model 629 in .44 magnum, stainless steel.
This was written for Stallone initially. Eddie did a lot of ad lib
Oh cool!
Aloha girls. Have an amazing week!!! :). Loved the reaction as always
Thank you!! ☺️
Peter Griffin hums the theme song in Family Guy. It's where most people have heard it before seeing this.
The actor that played Foley's captain was a real captain In the Detroit police department and he said he never yelled at the cops who worked for him . He ran for Ma🎉yor of Detroit in the early 2000's but lost , he passed away at the age of 84 in 2016 .
Beverly Hills Cop is one of my favorite films. It cracks my top 10. If you get a chance on your free time, watch 2 and 3. They are not as good but are still fun watches.
heat is on! just because you shot Ehrmantraut, it doesn't make you Ehrmantraut! what a surprise to see that Mike used to have hair! and Damon Wayans too!
Great reaction and analysis! You'd definitely find Eddie being as good in The Golden Child.
Thank you!!
Fun fact... the banana joke was supposed to be a potato, but Eddie said the banana is more funnier
You gals will enjoy *(Beverly Hills Cops 2). Eddie* is allegedly filming a *(Beverly Hills Cops 4)* this year?
I wanted to tell you about two side characters because they added a lot to the film. Did you know the chief was a real cop for decades. But, when he was giving the producers a tour of the city, it turned out to be a de facto audition. They like him so much, he got the role. And I noticed you found Serge just as funny as I did. Bronson Pinchot's thing was these fake accents he made up. I remember one reactor saying he couldn't put his finger on the locale for the accent. And you can bet most of the interactions between Murphy and Pinchot were improvised.
Please do the second movie. it's really good too.
Thanks! Probably will!

15:30 "Did Axel go to the strip club on purpose or was it a random crime?"
Just random.
Axel is investigating drug smugglers.
Those losers were commuting armed robbery for cash.
The drug smuggler ring is a well-run criminal organization; if the boss knew that HIS guys were committing random crimes, he'd get rid of those guys immediately.
This is one of those random Hollywood moments: all the random stuff in Hollywood happens to the main character because he's the main character.
Axel F is one of the most recognizable movie themes.
Hello Michelle & Natalie The Hot Redhead!🙂You are right Michelle, those big solo red lights on the center of the Detroit Police Cars are pretty old. They also used square white stickers on the door that said Detroit Police. This saved them some money on dressing cars, and made for a starker contrast with the Beverly Hills Police Cars, which were very modern. The head bad guy is Steven Berkoff. He played a Russian bad guy in the 80s films "Rambo: First Blood Part II" (1985) and the James Bond film "Octopussy" (1983). The police chief was in "Robocop" (1987) and "Total Recall" (1990). He was a bad guy in both films. Serge (Bronson Pinchot) was half of the comedy team in the 80s/90s sitcom "Perfect Strangers". The soundtrack was VERY popular from this film. The main instrumental theme is Axel F (Axel Foley). "Beverly Hills Cop II" is definitely worth reacting to. Great reactions to your very first Beverly Hills Cop film, Ladies!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!!
Sliding into Halloween. ...Event Horizon! !!
The First choice for "Axel" was Sylvester Stallone! He passed on the Role as he wanted less Comedy and more Action.
It always bothered me that Axel's arm was by his side when he got shot, but the bullet didn't go through the arm and into Axel's body (even a 9mm could do that). Given the Size of the gun Maitland had, the bullet should've left a big hole through Axel and the wall behind him.
1984 was an excellent year in entertainment. I don't know if I can really convey what it was like to be the right age and have good pop culture awareness at the time this movie came out. I have noticed that one generation seeing this movie later was more familiar with Eddie Murphy's more kid-oriented movies, which is an interesting perspective.
Eddie definitely softened as he got older haha
An absolute classic!
Why do they have 6 shooters.... Well some police departments didn't give their cops a choice in what was used. Also, back in the 80s, Semi autos were jjust starting to become popular police weapons, as a lot of organizations were still going by 60's logic where semi autos had a bad reputation for Jams and Missfires, so revolvers were more reliable. And in combat, "a gun will usually only jam once" (the implication being that in combat if your gun jams, you may die before you clear the jam. By the 80s semi automatic reliability was becoming as standard as six shooters
Harold Faltermeyer did the opening music for Top Gun does the music in this movie. Also, the actor who plays Jeffrey was Paul in the Mad About You TV series.
So British season. Hot fuzz, snatch, Shawn of the dead, lock, stock and two smoking barrels, life of Brian, sexy beast, original pink panther series with Peter sellers, zulu, original Italian job, should be enough to be going in with. Thank you for showing an interest
you gals are awesome.....one of my fave movies....I even used "axel foley" as a screenname on a message board in the 2000's
Initial Reactions are always the best ones. the Theme song was called "Axel F"... a Big Hit in Discos and T1^^ybars all over the U.S. the style of the song heavily influenced alot of the 80's Rock.
They're filming the 4th movie , Beverly hills cop Alex Foley
The cop movie Eddie did before this one with Nick Nolte called "48 Hours" I think is even better than this one. I think it was Eddie's first movie. Eddie's first word he's singing "Roxanne" by the Police. It's a great flick.
It was originally written a Sylvester Stallone action film, he later dropped out and Eddie Murphy was cast with most of the comedy being improvised by Murphy. The first film unlike the second and third had dramatic scenes and comedic dialogue, the second and third and more comedic scenes.
I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. A packed theater of people laughing all the way through the movie
How can I not watch Michelle for 34:35 minutes!
Classic Eddie Murphy, you Ladies's did another excellent job , 👍🇺🇸🌹🌹
Thank you Bobby!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Your welcome, 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Big fan of this one though part 2 is on my “Movies I will always sit and watch if it’s playing” list. Another is Another48 Hours….with Murphy and Nolte. Those are similar but leans a bit more into the serious side and the comedy is there but more subtle. Please give that and Another 48hours a watch (Another 48 Hours is on the list too).
Oh yeah….you could be “Raven Michelle” and “Natalie The Red”.
I love this movie and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time.
It’s good!
