      Someone who reacted to this did a slow motion breakdown of the scene where Axel throws the hitman into the buffet at the Harrow Club (and wrecks it!)
      He pauses on the stuntman, who is a good 50 pounds heavier than Eddie Murphy and looks nothing like him and plays Arnold's reaction to the Predator "What the hell are you?" It's then that I realize, stuntmen are basically the real action movie magicians. I ALWAYS thought it was Eddie in that shot!

      @TheBestPill-no2xp same thimg with pro wrestlers, who let alone don't get considered for awards, but aren't even considered for SAG AFTRA, despite being the lead actors, writers and stunt performers themselves on televised live scripted episodic dramas.
      like, if you improvise and script a family tv show, the performers get union consideration. if they then do live stunts on top of that, suddenly they don't deserve to be in the union. it's heartbreaking.

    The actor playing "Serge" is Bronson Pinchot. The first time I saw Bronson act, was in a weekly American TV series named "Perfect Strangers" (1986 - 1993). He played an Eastern Mediterranean farmer (Balki Bartokomous) who came to America to live with his Midwest American cousin, Larry Appleton (Played by Mark Linn-Baker). The accent Bronson used to portray Balki was much the same as the one he uses to portray Serge. One of Balki's famous catch-phrases was "Don't be re-di-koo-lus" (ridiculous).

    Ronny Cox (Lt. Bogomil) has had a great film and TV career. He is also an accomplished musician, who goes on tour.
    His first film appearance was in the classic thriller "Deliverance" (1972) with Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and Jon Voight. In one scene, he plays the famous instrumental "Dueling Banjos" on his guitar with a banjo-playing mountain boy, played by child actor Billy Redden.
    He was the Bad Guy in RoboCop (1987) and Total Recall (1990). He has said that he loves playing villains much more than good guys.
    He even played a pain-in-the-butt jerk Starfeet Captain in "Star Trek: The Next Generation". 😄

    I believe the joke of Serge's accent is that it's what you might call "vaguely European." Or rather, an American viewer would call it that. We don't know how much of his accent is just a nationality we can't identify, and how much is just him being weird.

    Bronson Pinchot played the art house manager. He went on to star in a successful tv show, Perfect Strangers, where he played an immigrant from Eastern Europe who came to the States. They made his character a more family friendly version of his character in this film.
    Paul Reiser is Axle's side kick in the beginning. He was the villain in Aliens and went on to have his own successful tv show in the early 1990's.

    Bail (aka a bond) doesn’t make the charges go away, it’s simply a surety that the person will return to court to face the charges without having to remain in jail awaiting the court date. Minor charges get a small bail amount or even just a promise to reappear (own recognizance bond) while major crimes can go up into the millions or “no bail granted” on crimes such as murder. If the person fails to show up at the court date, the money is forfeited and the person will have a warrant issued for their arrest.

    Serge is played by American actor, Bronson Pinchot, who was famous for playing a similar character in the '80s tv series, Perfect Strangers. His grandparents on his father's side were Russian immigrants who settled in France, and he said Serge's accent was intended to invoke those vaguely Eastern European accents.
    Architectural style of Viktor Maitland's mansion is Spanish Mission and is extremely common up and down the California coast, including for the villas of the wealthy of Southern California. Draws a lot of its styling from the missions that were set up here (by missionaries) when this region was under Spanish/Mexican control and they were attempting to convert the indigenous tribes. But it also suits the Mediterranean climate zones here, especially in SoCal.

Beverly Hills, California is known to be one of the richest places in America (Beverly Hills, Michigan is also very rich), so a young cop from Detroit in Beverly Hills was an amusing contradiction/irony when the film was made.

    38:32 - Mary, as Americans living in Los Angeles, we all have big homes with swimming pools. To get around the issue of walking long distances between rooms to find people when we want to talk with them, we use to have two-way intercoms in every room. Thankfully now we just text each other so we don’t have to walk over to the intercom. My wife and I haven’t spoken to each other since 2002. Even laying one meter from each other in our California King bed, we text each other. And now that Apple makes iDog collars, we simply text with our dogs too! (We would with our cat too, but she has an attitude and sometimes won’t reply to our texts for 2-3 days. Cats!) ❤
    And Serge’s accent is because he is Flemish. His mother was a Citroen mechanic from Brussels and his father was a French speaking lace maker from Ghent. He went to college in Los Angeles on a competitive cow milking team scholarship to study late 20th Century Dutch literature and worked for Victor to pick up extra spending money. Just after this movie came out he got his immigration card, moved to Seattle, and co-founded Starbucks. (In case you were interested.)

    'Now he can give orders?' Taggert is a Detective Sargent (it is mentioned in one of the early interactions with Foley in the Police Headquarters) IIRC the rest of the squad are just Detectives. So if there is not a Detective Lieutenant or the Captain present, yes he is in charge. If you found the character Billy interesting, you should definitely watch Beverly Hills Cop 2. He has a bit of character 'development'.

    I've seen an argument online that with the pool shoot early on that Mikey actually won the bet as the 8-Ball bounced off three cushions and not two. Either it's a blooper that got past the editors, or they left it in to perhaps suggest that Mikey was too drunk to notice the third cushion bounce.

    Just FYI: Detroit, Michigan is just under 2300 miles (3700km) northeast of Beverly Hills, California. 🙂 It's a 34-hour drive by car (assuming no stops for meals, fuel, or anything else, so figure more like a 3-to-4-day trip in realistic terms), or roughly a 5-hour non-stop flight.

    Judge Reinhold (Billy Rosewood) was Brad in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," Ronny Cox (Lt. Bogomil) was in "Deliverance" and "RoboCop," John Ashton (Taggart) was in "Midnight Run," and Bronson Pinchot (Serge) was Balki on the TV show "Perfect Strangers." You spotted Jonathan Banks already.

    The tune AxelF was covered for Crazy Frog ringtones years later, when people would buy ringtones for their phones. Became a racing game as well.
    You missed Axel's cop friend in Detroit who was the sleazy exec in Aliens, and the Beverly Hills Lieutenant was the bad guy in Robocop and Total Recall.
    I'm pretty sure at the time Detroit was the murder capitol of the US.

    If you are familiar with the Mexican city of Tijuana just across the southern border of California, that should give you perspective on Detroit. The South Side of Detroit is beautiful Windsor Ontario Canada, While the US and Canada are divided by the Great Lakes - between Detroit and Windsor - its just a river. one of the largest commercially trafficked rivers in the world and the second busiest border crossing on the continent - after Tijuana.
    Motown. The last stop for people who wanted to go to Canada and got caught or rejected. The first city design ever destroyed by the Car to appease the automotive industry. Currently sitting at 1/3rd the population it had in the 1950s. I bought 6 of 8 houses on a block of Detroit in 2010 for $13k. My used Nissan Altima cost more. Detroit boasts the least invested in Infrastructure in the whole of the United States until next year when a SECOND BRIDGE will open.

    I saw this in the theater at the time. He blew up on SNL in 1981 in his second year when they fired the whole new 1980 cast and kept the 2 background players that we'rent really in anything and so they couldn't be blamed for anything, lol. And that was Eddie Murphy nd Joe Piscapo. I watched his second year when him and Joe basically took over the show and he singlehandedly saved the institution. He had Trading Places and 48 Hours before this movie which made him a movie star. But this movie made him a superstar.

    Great reaction Mary like always. For a period of time in the 80's. 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! 84 was a monster year for movies. Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, The Karate Kid, Police Academy, Footloose and Beverly Hills Cop among others. This was originally written with Sylvester Stallone in mind. Disagreements over the script led to him converting the movie into the film, Cobra. Eddie Murphy was also planned to play Winston in Ghostbusters but he took this movie instead. Yes. The instrumental, “Axel F. Foley Theme”, was written for this film and it became a international hit in the 80's. Keep up the good work.

  • @frogofbrass382

    It's hard to believe how quickly Eddie Murphy's star rose. When he joined Saturday Night Live (SNL) in 1980, he was 19 years old. The producer and creator of SNL (Lorne Michaels) had left and the show was considered to be on its last legs. Eddie Murphy almost single handedly made the show popular again. 2 years later, at age 21, he's in his first movie in a starring role, "48 Hours," which proved that he could be a movie star. The next year was Trading Place, and in 1984 came Beverly Hills Cop, which grossed more than any other movie in 1984, and adjusted for inflation, today remains the third highest grossing R-rated movie (behind "The Exorcist" and "The Godfather."

    • @treetopjones737
