Eddie Murphy was an R rated comedian/actor before he went on a family film slide. I highly recommend Trading Places next, especially for the Holiday Season!
Right next to die hard as Christmas movies
thats an under rated comedy / drama with xmas as the season. ANd of course the comic scenes and the Luscious JAMie L scene haha
Yeah, I liked Eddie a lot better during that phase in his career. Had all his comedy tapes, which you couldn't play even 5 seconds of around the parents. Even his final Beverly Hills Cop movie had lost so much of the character.
I've been waiting for you Billy Ray
âIt was PCP !â
Axel not being allowed to work on the case of murder of his friend, is standard in all polices all over the world. If you are emotively or having friends or family connected with the case of investigation (especially murder) you are gonna be off the case instant.
Lol! Yeah despite what soooooo many movies and tv shows would have you believe đ€Ł
It's amazing how many movies and TV shows get this wrong, and bring in the vengeance angle. As a detective, Foley definitely would have known this.
When Reinhold (Rosewood) and Ashton (Taggart) were auditioning for their roles, Reinhold came up with the idea that since they are partners, they should behave as an old, married couple. He then picked up a health magazine and started to read it randomly (the five pounds of red meat stuff). Ashton got the picture and started to behave annoyed and angry. They delivered it so good that not only they got the parts, the gag was included in the script.
Which is why all directors should allow more actors input and direct less.
@@glenncabacungan9269 Interestingly, Stallone was first cast for the role of Foley, but he had such over-the-top ideas that were considered either too expensive or simply stupid. After he was dismissed, he made _Cobra_ from those ideas. (Probably this is why a poster of that film hangs in Rosewood's bedroom in BHC 2 much to Foley's fright.)
Trading Places is another great Eddie Murphy movie.
EPIC MOVIE!!! Infinitely quotable!! đ€Łđđ€Łđ #TurnThoseMachinesBackOn! đđ€Łđđ€Łđđđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
WHO PUT THE COOLS OUT ON MY CARPET!!!
Fun fact: Axel laughing at the leather suits when he first arrives to Beverly Hills is a reference he made about the same types of leather suits he wears to his standup comedy shows at the same time period. Like in "Delirious" 1983.
That makes sense. I always assumed it was because of it reminding him of Michael Jackson in the Thriller video
I never thought of that. I, like most people, thought it was because of Thriller. Has this been verified? Very cool if so
The red one is from "RAW" lol his standup
Espresso with a twist of lemon is called _Espresso Romano._ It can be made with a twist, or a slice of lemon, or a bit of lemon juice. It is popular in Campania. It was also the most common way espresso used to be served in Italian restaurants in NYC, as most were owned by Neapolitan immigrants.
Oh, thanks for mentioning. I meant to, but forgot. đ
wow. thanks for the info
DAMN !!! NOW WAT COUNTRY IS CAMPANIA !!!!??? đđ
@@rexxbailey2764 itâs not a country!!!!!
I had no idea coffee went with lemon juice.
Eddie Murphy managed to sneak in several relatively unknown, unappreciated comedians in this movie - the guy playing Serge (Bronson Pinchot) is one of them, and the waiter who gives him a banana is played by a very young Damon Wayans in his very first movie role (with lines).
The sequel to this one is also quite funny, definitely worth a view!
Tony Scott. R. I. P.
Yeah my favorite of the films. Watched it a thousand times as kid growing up.
@@StinkyGreenBud Re: your name:
The sky is blue
And all the trees are green!
The sun's as warm as a baked potata!
FUN FACT:
Axel's supervisor, Inspector Todd was once a real police supervisor which is why he played the part so well.
He later became head of the Detroit City Council
Scuttlebutt is that getting chew out by him in real life was just like in the movie only with less cursing. Somehow I have my doubts. About the "less cursing".
His real name was Gilbert R. Hill.
Duaffy you have a laugh that is like a more feminine version of Axelâs. So cute!
Well noted, I completely agree
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Facts.
ANGEL Foley. lol
Facts! I can't not hear it now!đ
The second film is just as good. Lots of great comedy moments.
It's possibly better; Tony Scott really put his stamp on it, so the visual style just pops!
@@StreetHierarchy I'll agree with that. I can honestly say that I seen the second film many more times than the first.
@@StreetHierarchy - First is good, second is better.
Oh yeah, it's just as good if not better. Be sure to see the second film
Not near as good, but I enjoyed the 3rd movie.
One of the great "cop" movies ever. Eddie Murphy is one of the funniest people to ever walk the earth. Absolute classic, and a fantastic reaction! I'm so glad you liked it, this was a fun watch!
Victor's henchman, who killed Axel's friend, is played by Jonathan Banks who also plays the role of the reluctant bad guy Mike Ehrmantraut on "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul." Those are two amazing shows with some of the best writing and acting in a modern TV show and Banks is really solid. Watch "Breaking Bad" first if you are interested.
@Gerald H Yup.
"Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters was a popular song in this. Eddie is so good being undercover since his character is from the streets. He always busts the bad guys at the end. The older cop is the bad guy in Robocop.
"The Heat Is On" by Glen Frey is also pretty catchy.
@@BDTXIII Agreed.
Also singles from the movie were, Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer and New Attitude and Stir it up by Patti LaBelle.
Beverly Hills Cop two is great too. you get to learn more about Rosewood.
The actor that played Eddie Murphy's boss was actually a police detective in real life, and was eventually named Chief of Police in Detroit, Michigan!
Eddie Murphy in his first lead role and he became a box-office champ.
No.1 film of 1984 and it dethroned Ghostbusters.
Incredible soundtrack as well.
#TrueClassicđ
The Theme Song is so good. It's the only song that I never got sick of even though they probably over played it for some people. To this day it sounds just as fresh as the first time I heard it. The real crazy thing is that it's in a genre that I typically don't like.
Totally.
Vangelis, Harold Faltermeyer, and Jan Hammer were the synth music guys of the 1980s for me.
It was a great song. Unfortunately they played it nonstop on the radio for an entire summer in 1984 until just about everyone was sick of hearing it.
@Welsh Dude You mean the frog in the tailpipe?
@@Mr.Ekshin I kept thinking I would get tired of it. Nope... Always found that weird. Especially since I generally get bored by synth music.
When I was in grade school in the late 80s a group came to the school to demenstrate electronic music instruments. They showed how one guy can play every part of that song and we were all blown away.
Murphy had a an epic run of movies during the 80s - 48 hours, trading places, Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2.
Duaffy, your laugh is just as funny as Axelâs. đâșïž
"Finally someone that appreciates his talents" lol that was sarcasm. The chief is the strictest of the bunch.
The theme song from this, called Axel F, was known by EVERYBODY in the 80s after the movie came out.
The irony of Duaffy laughing at Eddie laughing at people wearing leather suits, not knowing Eddie wore those in his comedy specials. :D
Fun fact. In these movies Eddie Murphy improves a lot of his lines in scenes or improvises scenes in general! They might be in the script or they might be improvised. Most of them are. Eddieâs a legend
Duaffy: impressing us with her street smarts
Also Duaffy: "for making coffee?"
I've always wondered why someone has not yet done a prequel show/movie called "Axel Foley" that explores Axel's younger life. There is so much potential there.
Fun Fact: Eddie Murphy got the role of Axel Foley after Sylvester Stallone turned it down. Before this Eddie Murphy had only done comedy, this was his first action movie. If you go back and watch it again you can see Eddie closing his eyes whenever he shoots his gun. His excuse was "Guns are loud." I cannot imagine thismovie with Stallone in the lead.
You can! Itâs called COBRA.
@@Artman1991 Those movies are nothing a like, expect the fact that the main characters are cops
On how easy it is for Axel to talk his way into things: Before 9/11 the world was very different. People were a lot less concerned with being careful about things like ID. It wasn't as easy as Eddie Murphy makes it look, of course, but it was a lot easier than now.
It's not overly difficult even now. As long as you act like you're supposed to be there and don't make unreasonable demands, most people tend to buy it. It's herd mentality I guess. Same as when people apologize to the twitter mobs for nothing. Folks just don't want to be hassled. Granted in a high security area it would be more difficult, but that's always been the case. For most places though, once you're inside the perimeter, the lower level people will just go with it. You only start getting in trouble when dealing with supervisors. I have an an uncle that has gotten by in life solely by pulling cons like that. It is astonishing what you can get by with having the right attitude, enough nerve, and lack of any sense of shame or remorse..
Duaffy being introduced to all the hallmark of 80s action movies in one great movie: car chases with random property destruction, the hero hurled through a ground level window for no real reason, and fast-talking your way into free hotels, food, etc.
Axel didnât see Victorâs henchmen. They snuck up on him and knocked him out from behind.
Yep, movie shows the audience but Foley didn't see him. If he saw them, he would've been shot too
I think that the opening of the movie with the semi-truck chaise is one of the best stunt driving sequences in any movie.
This was my first ever introduction to Eddie Murphy two other great Eddie Murphy movies are coming to America and The Golden Child.
Did you ever see Trading Places?!
It was my introduction to Eddie, i love all his earlier movies, but this one is my favorite! đ„°đđŒ
I would also like to see someone react to The Golden Child, because still nobody did it yet! đđâđŒ
Trading Places needs to be on that list!
This was the first Eddie Murphy film I saw, ironically it was released the year I was born.
Originally the film was written to be a Sylvester Stallone action film, all the comedy dialogue was improvised after casting Murphy. So there were dramatic scenes with comedic dialogue.
The Second and third were written to be more comedic scenes. But you have to watch the second and third films to see the difference.
At 23:12 when Chief Hubbard ask if heâs the man who wrecked the buffet that was sarcastic question.
Duaffy's laugh is so cute.
pretty much Duaffy everything is very cute
For a period of time Eddie Murphy was the biggest star in the world. He was the world's number one stand up comic and had the world's number one movie at the same time. He also had a hit song
You could say Eddie was "Sitting on Top of the World." That was actually the title of an article that was written about him. But not by Rolling Stone; it was by Playboy! đ
The thing that Axel does in the warehouse, where he pretends to be an investigator, is actually a very common form of "social hack." So common it even has a name: The Bavarian Fire Drill. People are trained from childhood to respond to authority figures with obedience, and the Bavarian Fire Drill is a form of con where you act like an authority figure and keep barking out orders at people so that they act on their instinct to obey rather than stop and think about what they are doing. If you do it with confidence, it's amazingly effective.
Yep works almost every time. I use props sometimes a clipboard and pen works great.
I love that you saw this older movie.... you should definitely do more 80s " classics" like this... thanks
Eddie is A Detroit cop. Beginning is in Detroit. This movie was a Huge hit. Plus, the Detroit Tigers won the World Series that year. 1984 was a fantastic year!
Great reaction. But honestly, I was laughing at your laugh. I realized itâs similar to Eddieâs laugh. When he and you both laugh it cracks me up. đđđœđđœ
3:52 That was a real goof up experienced by Eddie Murphy. Nice staying in character. Also, his boss is played by a real cop.
Duaffys laugh is instant Serotonin for my brain.
This was fun watching with you. Grew up watching Eddie Murphy, i'm 47 lol. So brought back a lot of cool memories. :)
One of my favorite movies and my favorite Eddie Murphy movie. The actor who played Inspector Todd, Axel's boss, was actually a real Detroit cop. You should definitely check out Beverly Hills Cop 2.
9:20 'I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear.'
14:47 "Another Mario Kart level" Lol
18:05 Oh, my... the best reaction ever! :)
28:37 That is Axel's laugh 15:12
The man behind the hotel counter when Axel checks out is played by none other than the director, Martin Brest.
Duaffey, you should look into Second Hand Lions. You would really enjoy that movie!
Yes, Second Hand Lions is an excellent recommendation. I totally agree it is a wonderfully entertaining film.
Agree one thousand percent!!!
1984, I was in high school and three of my friends worked at a local theater.
Their manager was on vacation the week this came out and we had a party/private showing at midnight for 7 or 8 of us in the closed theater. đ
As I recall... Having a couple cases of beer and a 3' bong in the theater doesn't hurt the entertainment value of this movie one bit.đđ
Glad you enjoyed it.đ
Bearer Bonds were a financial instrument that were worth a set amount (much like a savings bond at full value) but were not registered to any individual. The "Bearer" of the bond, the one holding it, was presumed to be the owner and could redeem it at any financial institution. They haven't really been used since 2010
Omg.. CLASSICâŠ. XD
So one note: When Axel checks into the hotel in Beverly Hills, the front desk girl looks up his reservation on a computer system. That wouldnât be unusual *today* , but back then, the majority of hotels around the country would have probably used physical logbooks for records. The implication, along with how nice the lobby looked, was that this was a *fancy* (expensive) hotel. Even more so with the entire police department being computerized.
In many of these scenes, Eddie Murphy was given free rein to improvise. The director would instruct the other actors to just try to impede Murphy by behaving like hotel staff, concierges, maĂźtre ds, etc. and Murphy would just come up with different ways to try to bluff past them.
Buffet plate being $12.50. Back then a lunch plate where I lived was $3.99 and that was high.
Now imagine how those Eddie Murphy improv scenes would've turned out had they been performed by Sylvester Stallone, the actor that was originally cast as Axel Foley in this movie?
(It's true! Stallone was the producer's first choice for the lead role!)
yea today a basic buffet would be 13 bucks. The higher end ones, like that one back then were the very high rated buffets, including steaks, seafood, and other things. These days those buffets run 50-100 bucks.
@@eolsunder The buffet Damon Wayans's character mentions is $12.50 just for *fruit* .. XD
Another fun fact the actor who played Foley's boss was actually a real cop and a captain in the Detroit Police department and he said he never screamed and yelled and cursed at the cops that worked under him and he did in the movie he also ran for mayor of Detroit but lost
Cool little trivia, the mansion in the shoot out is the same mansion in Commando. Both films used the same location a few days apart from each other. They blew the windows, reset them n did it all over again.
Axel Foley's "charming Con-man Hero" character is SUCH fun to watch! It totally makes Beverly Hills Cop (1 & 2) as great as it is.
Glad you seemed to enjoy it as well.
Oh, an the joke where he acted like he was Victor's gay lover & said he had "Herpes Symplex 10", if even MORE funny when you realize it just means he has a Canker sore (or cold sore?).
As opposed to something severe. (this was at the height of the AIDS scare, which is why it was reasonable that it worked.)
Oh, lol! So there actually is a 10th simplex of herpes? đ I thought he was just taking herpes simplex 2 and dialing it up to 11 just to make it sound worse. That makes it way funnier!
This, 'Trading Places' & 'Coming to America' are my three favorite Eddie Murphy movies. All from the 1980's.
As I recall, Sylvester Stalone was supposed to star in this movie but he couldn't do it so they went with Eddie Murphy.
Another fun fact the actor who played the guy who gave foley the bananas is named Damon Wayans he's the younger brother of Keenan Ivory Wayans who is best friends with Eddie Murphy and that's how he got in the movie , also the older brother of Shawn and Marlon Wayans who did the scary movie movies
Duaffy: âCmon, everyone knows what youâre doing.â
Officer: What the hell is he doing ?
Also Duaffy: âI donât know.â
A great comedy movie with the Judge Reinholdt (the actor who plays Billy) is Ruthless People.
It also stars Danny De Vito and Bette Midler.
The red leather 'suit' was almost exactly what Eddie Murphy wore for his first stand up: Delirious. He was literally laughing at his old-self
-You should sing moređ
I like your voice, but hell, EVERYONE should sing more
OMG the 80's had Awesome films... Animal House, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, The Breakfast Club, Fast Times at Ridgemont High... and Many, Many, Many More...
"Watermelons, bananas, fruit in general..." I'm still laughing about that. Love this video.
Damon Wayans' first role, thanks to Eddie Murphy.
Espresso with a lemon twist is actually quite popular in Italy. It's called an Espresso Romano.
Axl never saw the guy who offed Mikey. He got knocked out from behind
Coming to America is an amazing Eddie Murphy movie worth checking out. Another recommendation I have is The Long Kiss Goodnight, a 1995 action movie starring Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson.
You will love the second movie too. Axel returns with all of his bullshit! đ Great Job!
BevCopII is fun. III is utter shite.
"How the Fuck do you steal a house? This is, my uncle's house."
I remember seeing this in the theater with my mom at about 9 years old. It's a wonderful memory, and I really love this movie.
Axel didn't see the guys that killed Mikey. They hit him from behind.
One thing most people don't think about when they meet is their background and how much of their experience is the reason for what the occupation they have is shaped by that. This movie shows three childhood friends that grew up in very rough streets. One went to California and became the director of an upscale art gallery, one became a cop, and one stayed in the criminal underworld. They stayed a family but took different paths in life, and the story bears that connection between them out.
As for not wanting Foley to investigate the case... Foley could not be objective because of that personal investment and as a witness, his testimony would be thrown out since it will be corrupted by his investigation and personal involvement and altering his views on the facts of the case. If Maitlan guards had not started a firefight and Maitlan would have been brought to trial then Foleys' investigation would have been thrown out and only Maitlans' defense teams' version of events concerning the physical evidence would be considered in the case. In short, most likely, Maitlan would have walked free. Oh, Jessie's testimony is highly questionable as her association with Foley and her fear that Foley and herself would be killed if she testified against him could destroy the case against Maitlan.
This may sound unfair, but if you think of the flipside of the situation and consider that someone gets murdered in Detroit and the immediate evidence points to Maitlan but he's innocent, all you would have is Bearer Bonds and cocaine being smuggled but the owner might know nothing of what his employees were doing. Something, in real life, happened similar to this with a large tech company and all evidence pointed to the owner and CEO until it was found that the ringleader was not even an employee of the company. Turns out that she was not just involved in smuggling drugs but in human trafficking and the CEO helped in taking her and her operation down.
I'm so sorry for the long comment but it kind of grew as I was typing.
Eddie Murphy's sticker in his movies would always read "Hello, my name is TROUBLE" :o).
Duaffy: You're going to Beverly Hills?
Alex: What gave it away?
8:54 This guy was in a really good sitcom that ran for 7 years called Perfect Strangers.
I love your reaction to this movie.
You got into it, you freely laughed at the funny stuff, and you were shocked by the shocking stuff.
Exactly how it should be.
It's nice to see a somebody watch a great movie and share real reactions.
Axel Foley laughs at the 2 people in leather suits is funny because he wore the same kind of suit for one of his comedy specials, Delirious.
The chief was giving him a huge insult not just to Foley but to his entire precinct. It is so sweet that you can see a scathing insult and take it as a compliment.
Eddie Murphy said in a interview he hates guns . He said you see him close his eyes in a action scene holding a gun.
Great and fun movie. Thanks for sharing. Saw this in the theater. Trivia: yes there was a time when Detroit detectives were authorized to carry a Browning Hi Power.
Time for âBeverly Hills Cop 2â to up the ante of the Axel Foley sequels.
Duaffy: On Billy, "You're going to be the banana guy for the rest of your life"
Me: Smiling as I remember Billy's hobbies in Beverley Hills Cop II
I think Billy in BH cop 2 is the best character arch ever.
Eddy Murphy movies were all misses with me, but I did like this one. Also, Eddy had a hit record in 1985 Party all the time. Great song.
I'm upticking this before I've even watched. It's going to be goooood.
Axel and his childhood friends are from Detroit, a very deprived and poor city in America. They all went their own way, but kept in touch.
In the new Venom sequel, Eddie Brock is wearing the same âMumford Phys. Edâ t-shirt as Axel. He also wears a Detroit Lions jacket, like in Beverly Hills Cop II.
Gold Star on your reaction Duaffy. You had fun with this flick.
YES! Using those bananas is TOTALLY a Mario Kart move! đ€Ł
One of the all-time greats. God, I forgot that Bronson Pinchot was in this, it's been so long.
I'd love to see you do the Star Trek "Genesis" Trilogy. Also Logan, or the Thin Red Line.
GREAT choice!!! Not many folks reacting too it :) CANT WAIT! A+ đđ€Łđđ€Łđ€Łđ
I don't like coffee with lemon juice, but a little lemon extract is fine in a cafe au lait, especially with a dash of sugar. You get the lemon cream thing going, with the coffee as a bass note. (Of course whatever form of lemon you are using, if you have it with milk or cream, you must avoid having the milk curdle. So lemon extract, not lemon juice.)
Billy's actor was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982).
Classic movie with Eddie Murphy
8:56 Bronson Pinchot also was in a TV series Perfect Strangers with Larry Appleton from March 25, 1986, to August 6, 1993, on the ABC television network here in the USA.
Yay!! I love these movies. So cool seeing you watch it
I also vote for Trading Places and Coming to America as great Eddie Murphy movies to put on your list to watch!
I'm so glad you chose this one! I love this character so much that the music from this movie remains to this day my ring tone on my phone.
Watching this reaction was so much fun! I saw this and it's sequel in the movie theater as a preteen. Nice to see it through younger eyes.
3:08, yes, 10 months ago you saw Paul Riser in "Aliens". Thankfully, he returned to comedies later.
Good choice BTW Axels chief of police was a real Chief of police in Detroit In rela life.
1. GOOF: An entire truck loaded with EMPTY cigarette boxes.đ
2. IMVHO Eddies' best movies are "Trading Places and "Coming to America"đđ
3. Serge/Bronson Pinchot was in a short lived series "Perfect Strangers".
4. Jenny/Jill Eikenberry played Segar in "An Officer and a Gentleman" HINT HINT
5. One of the best bad guys ever!đ
Let's do the dance of joy
Super cool. Love this movie and this awesome reaction! Rock on, Duaffy!
The most difficult part of your reactions is trying to decide whether to pay attention to the epic/classic/legendary movies...or to your insanely adorable reaction to them. You're a rockstar girl. Keep doing what you do!
The next two are pretty funny and entertaining as well; the Bad Boys and Rush Hour trilogies are worth watching as well
Quite a few cops were trouble makers in their youth. As a youngster and in Foley's neighborhood, stealing a car for a joy ride was probably considered harmless fun (To him). Like it's not bad because he didn't have a gun or hurt anyone. His friend clearly went further down that path. Though if you look deeper, it gets a little depressing for a comedy movie. Getting caught for the stolen car likely led him down that path. The getting caught part that is. They say that jail is like school for crime. What could have been a one time thing, or a youthful experience that he got out of his system (not saying any crime like stealing cars is okay) and ended up on a different path like Foley or other people who were trouble causers in their youth. But once he was in the system he started learning more how to commit bigger crimes, and what crimes pay better which was enticing. Point being that if Foley had gotten caught or if his friend had ratted him out, he'd just as likely have turned out the same way.
One of Eddie's s best [R] films. His 80s decade (just out of SNL)> Trading Places, 48hrs, BH-Cop, Coming to America, etc. Was a home run derby.
((đđ))
