Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
While its sequels were formulaic and safe, the first Beverly Hills Cop set out to explore some uncharted territory, and succeeded. A blend of violent action picture and sharp comedy, the film has an excellent director, Martin Brest (Scent of a Woman), who finds some original perspectives on stock scenes (highway chases, police rousts) and hits a gleeful note with Murphy while skewering L.A. culture. Good support from Judge Reinhold and John Ashton as local cops not used to doing things the Detroit way (Murphy's character hails from the Motor City). Paul Reiser has a funny, brief moment at the beginning, and Bronson Pinchot makes a hilarious impression in a great, never-to-be-duplicated scene with the star. --Tom Keogh

- Eddie at his action comedy best
Beverly Hills Cop is an example of Eddie Murphy at his best in an action comedy. The film set a new standard for action movies, having a black amercian in the lead role. The film is still noteworthy today as it set the template for Rush Hour and Bad Boys and hopefully one day they make a fourth fulm.

- Eddie plays the police game again!
Saturday Night Live alum Eddie Murphy once again plays the police game in this first of three installments,somewhat similarly to how he did in 48 HRS.. This is one of a multitude of Murphy's films produced by Paramount and also he delighted his fans with other Paramount properties such as TRADING PLACES and BEST DEFENSE(both followed 48 HRS. and preceded this film). In addition to Murphy,director Martin Brest(MIDNIGHT RUN,SCENT OF A WOMAN) worked with other talented actors like Judge Reinhold(THE ... Read More

- Watching the funny antics of our hero in this wonderful movie is like watching the 'Law of Requisite Variety' at work!
Recently, I just browsed through my personal DVD movie collections & decided to watch the entire 'Beverly Hills Cop' movie trilogy, starring Eddie Murphy.

I had actually watched the original version in the movie theatres, with the first one during the eighties.

I had always thought that the first one offered wonderful life lessons.

In the movie, Alex Foley, a free-wheeling, street-wise, loud-mouthed police detective in Detroit (played by Eddie Murphy), while ... Read More

- Beverly Hills Cop (Special Collector's Edition)
Beverly Hills Cop (Special Collector's Edition)~ John Ashton is a great Eddie Murphy. The plot is well written, the music is the typical 80's movie music and the special effects are just on the mark. Eddie Murphy is amazing in the role as Axel Foley and this is one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies of all time. The movie sure has a lot of 80's references like German Marks, and could be tricky for kids that did not grow up during the 80's. Highly recommended indeed. The plot is so much better then the sequels ... Read More
