Amazon.com: The 1988 sequel to one of the most successful movies of all time finds Eddie Murphy reprising his role as Detroit police detective Axel Foley, and once again playing a fish out of water as he tries to solve a series of heists in Beverly Hills that may be connected to the attempted murder of his friend, a Beverly Hills police captain (Ronny Cox). Constructed in a much flashier and faster-paced visual style than the first film, the song still remains the same as Foley tries to keep his job in Detroit while solving crimes for the Beverly Hills cops. Murphy again makes the most of culture shock for comic effect, and the easy rapport between Murphy and Billy (Judge Reinhold), now a cheerfully over the top Rambo-esque figure, is still the centerpiece of this series. While not the least bit original, director Tony Scott (Crimson Tide, Top Gun) puts his own stamp on this installment and keeps the action and the laughs coming. --Robert Lane

Another Eddie Murphy Classic! I love every scene from start to finish I mean how he was able to high-jack a home... CLASSIC! I actually have every movie... If you are an Eddie Murphy fan as I you must buy this one.
Rating: - Good action packed sequel
Beverly Hills Cop II is a great follow up to the classic first film. While the film tones down some of the comedy;the action is upped to the max courtsey of director Tony Scott. Murphy contuines to have good chemistry with Reinhold and Ashton and Brigette Nelson is great the a villanness.
Rating: - All around great
I got this movie last wed. & paid $5.49. Now is $9.98, I also got the first one for $5.49. I was wanting to get the Hills cop III, but its $9.98. What I dont like is one day it says $5.49 then now it says $9.98. Well this was a great movie (well the 1st. & 2nd. one were) The picture is great & sound is also. I would have gotten the 3 pack with all the movies for $21.99, but at the time this was only $5.49 so this was a better deal.
