RW607 - Beverly Hills Cop Rewatch - Beverly Hills Cop II

 


In this episode of The Beverly Hills Cop Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan turn the heat back on and up as they discuss Beverly Hills Cop II.

Our Favourite Trivia:

Paramount originally wanted to produce a TV series of Beverly Hills Cop after the success of the first film. However, Eddie Murphy did not want to go back to television, so a sequel was made instead.


Producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer hired Tony Scott to direct because of the good job he did on Top Gun (1986).


The film was originally to be set and filmed in London and Paris; however, the script was re-written after Murphy expressed a reluctance to film outside the United States.


Beverly Hills Cop II was one of the most anticipated films of 1987 and became a box office success upon release. The film debuted at number one at the US box office, earning $33 million on its opening weekend, a sales mark that would result in the film achieving that year's highest-opening weekend debut, as well as the highest grossing opening weekend at the time, breaking the record set by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984).


The Alphabet crimes are:

  • A: Adriano's (jewelry store)

  • B: Bogomil (Taggart and Rosewood's commanding officer)

  • C, D: City Deposit

  • E, F: Empyrean Fields (race track) 


Axel gives away all the money he comes across. He gets $20 to take Billy's vitamins (sound seeking projectiles) and gives it to Billy. He finds $50 in the back of the armored car and gives it to the valet to park the cement truck. Finally, he gets $200 from Sidney Bernstein and gives it to the mayor for a charity dinner.
