Eddie Murphy to Axel F to BEVERLY HILLS COP IV?!?!?!

Who gives a rat's ass? by googamooga	Nov 29th, 2006 06:10:19 PM
Not me
Oh yeah, FIRST by googamooga	Nov 29th, 2006 06:10:59 PM
I almost forgot...
Isn't it Axel? by chrth	Nov 29th, 2006 06:15:11 PM
Axle is what you thread through a disk.
BHC and QT by phaedrus007	Nov 29th, 2006 06:16:24 PM
Wasn't Tarantino interested in this project at some point? Maybe they could get him to it.... that could be cool. I doubt it would ever happen, but still... would be cool. Otherwise, while I'm excited at this news like Harry, I'm not crazy about his John McClaine-ish vision of the film (aren't we all tired of the "burnt-out cop" stereotype?). While I agree on getting rid of Serge, I think think Billy can be retained and probably could help contribute to the feeling of continuity.
BEVERLY HILLS COP? by Spice-Orange	Nov 29th, 2006 06:16:39 PM
wasnt that the one with mel gibson in it? wait no. hmm. what about the one with that annoying black guy and jackie chan? dang. oh oh! i know! the one with that annoying white guy and jackie chan! depending on how they market this, it could be a big hit, but the era of cop action/comedies/adventures has come and gone. twice. the only good thing going for it is that its a sequel. if it had Jesus, Zombies or Robots in it, it would be a no brainer!
The radio stations could use a little Axel F again... by nomihs	Nov 29th, 2006 06:20:19 PM
Nothing reminds me of the 80s more than that theme to BHC. I wore out the VHS tape with my multiple viewings (it sucked too cause I had BHC on the tape with Predator and Fletch) but it was almost worth it. I agree, keep out Serge and give Judge Reinhold a cameo, maybe.
Come on! by harold_maude	Nov 29th, 2006 06:21:24 PM
this is great news, eddie going back to the good stuff not this generic comedy where eveyone dances to some stupid song with fat girl jokes, so ridiculous. although i do think it is funny when eddie is going down the slide in his new movie and he says"i'm slidin'!!!' hehee. but that movie looks bad too. doesn't anybody want more bananas in the tailpipe jokes?
I give a rat's ass. by modlight	Nov 29th, 2006 06:24:04 PM
Bev 1 was great, 2 was really cool. 3 was attrocious, but the pieces are there for the continuation of a great franchise. It is sucky that Hollywood knows they have no good new properties. But the fact is that the kind of weird attitude that gave them things like Beverly Hills Cop would never fly today.
We're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe by SPlissken	Nov 29th, 2006 06:27:07 PM
Foulmouth? F#!$ you.
Actually, this doesn't surprise me at all... by ldm882	Nov 29th, 2006 06:28:56 PM
We've now entered an age where all these movies from 15 to 20 years ago that we loved as kids are now being greenlit by executives that, like us, grew up watching them: Rocky Balboa, Rambo IV, Mad Max 4 (maybe), Indy IV (big maybe). The studios realize these franchises, no matter how old, have huge, built-in fanbases, and all that matters is that enough of the old fans, plus the "new fans" who've picked it up from their older siblings or parents, will pony up the cash to justify a sequel. Mind you, I'm not hatin' - I'd love to see a BHC 4 just to redeem parts II and III. Hell, I'd pay to see a new Dirty Harry movie!
who is asking for this? by lynxpro	Nov 29th, 2006 06:31:51 PM
Reminds me this weekend watching the trailer for the Rocky flick. It did not get a good buzz at all from the audience. In fact, most of them laughed at it. Do people desire Tank Girl 2?
Di$ney won't allow him saying nasty words by godoffireinhell	Nov 29th, 2006 06:32:32 PM
even if it would be in a movie for another studio.
still.... by lynxpro	Nov 29th, 2006 06:34:49 PM
I'd rather watch this than Will Smith destroy I Am Legend once and for all.
I'm also not surprised... by beastie	Nov 29th, 2006 06:35:20 PM
...and oddly enough I AM a little bit excited about it. I'm guessing that they've learned from the mistakes of Beverly Hills Cop 3. Someone on the forums at the IMDb, a couple of weeks ago, thought that a BHC4 would be good if it was made like Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and I agree.
I desire Tank Girl 2 by godoffireinhell	Nov 29th, 2006 06:35:39 PM
I'd be so down for that! The original is one hell of stoner flick. UNBELIEVABLE! I want a special edition DVD of that too.
Either by veritasses	Nov 29th, 2006 06:38:43 PM
reboot the franchise or just boot it. The QT idea someone mentioned above seems pretty good.
I expect the usual IACN negativity.... by GibsonUSA Returns	Nov 29th, 2006 06:49:01 PM
But I'm excited about this. As long as they make it rated R and let Eddie completely shed his recent family friendly Daddy Day Care image....bring back classic Axel and he's def. got my interest.
I'm asking for this! by Bungion Boy	Nov 29th, 2006 06:51:21 PM
If they give us a hard R, Eddie is funny but not silly, and it's more the gritty spirit of the first and not the stupid romp that the third one was, I'm on board. Eddie Murphy is a great talent. I can't wait to see him in Dreamgirls, and even Norbit at least looks like he's trying to recapture the spirit of Coming To America and Nutty Professor. This man is worthy of a comeback. I say let's do this and then maybe Tarentino will be ready to put him in Inglorious Bastards. Let's make Eddie the man he once was. It's not too late. And in conclusion: in light of everything I just said, I thought Daddy Day Care wasn't terrible.
A new Dirty Harry movie? by Almost_Human	Nov 29th, 2006 06:51:54 PM
Oh man, have you seen Clint lately? Not gonna happen with him as Det. Callahan as much as I LOVE the character. Man's got to know his limitations. And Clint is Dirty Harry. Nuff said. BHC? Eh....I already lived the 80's once. It wasn't that great. But I'd love for Eddie to get a chance to REALLY be funny again and not be in a kid's film. They should do a story line where Axel goes to Hollywood to rescue his cousin (played by Charley Murphy) who is being held as a internet sexcam hostage by freaky Lil' Jon impersonator played by Dave Chapelle. I'd see that twice. Have Lil' Jon make a cameo, maybe have Axel try to bust him by accident.
Keep out Serge? WTH? by wash	Nov 29th, 2006 06:54:27 PM
Only if you replace him with Bruno.
Harold Faltermeyer by Darth_Baltar	Nov 29th, 2006 06:54:43 PM
yea, i butchered the spelling but he is responsible for the coolest theme music of the 80's which is now the coolest ring tone of the 21st century!!! ...make sure he is back to spice up the AXEL F insturmental
SHANE BLACK is directing now. Let him have a go at it. by Rearden	Nov 29th, 2006 07:01:07 PM
Let's be all the 80's-badassity we can be.
Rearden by Cartagia	Nov 29th, 2006 07:05:01 PM
I like the way you think! Make it like 1 or 2 and we could have a seriously good cop movie on our hands.
Hugh Jackman in DIRTY HARRY BEGINS! by fractureJonze	Nov 29th, 2006 07:05:58 PM
I can see it. But they would blow it by setting it in present day... Anyways, the first Beverly Hills Cop was lightning in a bottle. Second was a little too aware of its own success, by 3 it was forgettable. But it would be really great to have a funny Eddie Murphy again...
I'd prefer Beverly Hills Cobra. by SalvatoreGravano	Nov 29th, 2006 07:07:02 PM
Marion Cobretti pairs up with Michael Jackson, er, Eddie Murphy in a grand adventure directed by versusmeister Paul W. S. Anderson.
Hardcore Axel Foley? by tile_mcgillus	Nov 29th, 2006 07:10:24 PM
That could be cool...I just want funny Eddie Murphy again. I want rude, crude, hilarious Murphy back. Also some sweet action would be nice! Judge Reinhold just definately be in this movie. Even to just die like Harry said.
Harry is a plant! by talkback_hater	Nov 29th, 2006 07:12:01 PM
How else do you explain pretending to be excited to see this lame retread? Maybe they can have Axel take down a terrorist cell in the 90210...you know, update it for the 21st century?
Ben Affleck is Dirty Harry by SalvatoreGravano	Nov 29th, 2006 07:12:27 PM
Although they will probably cast Tobey McGuire (whatever his name is, actually) or that "Superman" guy. Either the one from Smallville or the one from the recent remake, er, "sequel".
Dirty Harry redux by Jackson Healy	Nov 29th, 2006 07:15:45 PM
Jeeze! Hugh Jackman should play Harry Callahan, the guy's a dead ringer for the young Eastwood. If Miami Vice had gone through the roof, we probably would have seen this. However, there's still the chance Rocky Balboa will hit paydirt, in which case, all bets are off.
AXEL FOLEY IS A COP ON THE EDGE. by Det. John Kimble	Nov 29th, 2006 07:22:59 PM
Fuck that bullshit.
Too soon by SingingHatchet	Nov 29th, 2006 07:28:33 PM
and darn you Michael Bay.
Rocky,007,Indiana Jones, Kirk+ Spock, why not Axel? by DARTH VOODOO	Nov 29th, 2006 07:33:31 PM
If all these franchises can make comebacks why not Eddie and BHC 4? It can't be any worse than part 3.
So Harry's never seen Beverly Hills Cop by CTU Mole	Nov 29th, 2006 07:35:01 PM
Axel Foley burned out? That's not the character. And his humor doesn't come from being a burnout. I don't think Murphy is up to the task of completely changing the character like that while still holding anyone's interest.
Get The F&%K OUT OF HERE by R.J. MacReady	Nov 29th, 2006 07:35:42 PM
Bring it on, it couldn't be any worse then BHC3 and 90% of the crap coming out.
Axel F by Evil Lincoln	Nov 29th, 2006 07:35:45 PM
Why not just save a few bucks and use the Crazy Frog version of "Axel F"! Ok, I'm kidding! Sheesh! Where is the love for Germans and Crazy Frog around these parts now a days! LOL
Seriously, what would Axel Foley be like after 20 years by howardroark	Nov 29th, 2006 07:43:37 PM
....20 years since we first saw him and over 10 since we last saw him... He would certainly be private detective, a consultant to a movie studio. Let him come across a scandal like the Pellicano wiretapping scandal out right now. Oops, probably not since Brad Grey oversees Paramount. Make this a hard R. Don't just kill Rosewood - make him a cop on the take that's been killed. The only way BHC has any chance to break 50m in the box office is to make it a hard R. Forget Johnny To...get Andy Lau to do it... that would have been something else if they re-made Infernal Affairs but have the character of Axel as the Andy Lau (or Matt Damon) character.

Priceless when Axel was using the BFG at the amusement park against the baddies...hilarious dammit! hilarious!
mildly excited by Bloo	Nov 29th, 2006 08:04:13 PM
This has potentioal to be relaly good...or to be really screwed up. I'm betting the studios are waiting to see how Rocky Balboa does. As to those that say people aren't excited, I've got a 17 y/o brother and a 20 y/o roommate that are more excited about it then I, the movie geek, am
I personally love the first BH Cop by Cruel_Kingdom	Nov 29th, 2006 08:04:46 PM
This could be great if they just completely copied the first film (lol) and ignored the second two completely. Especially the third "film."

Are they gonna bring Back Balkie for a cameo? by Doc_Strange	Nov 29th, 2006 08:24:46 PM
BHC wouldn't be complete without the brilliant ad-libs done by Bronson Pinchot. But seriously, if done right, and Eddie somehow found it within himself to be funny or reclaim his soul from Charlie Murphy then the film could be great. Yeah it does need to be a hard R like how the first one was. I remember being scarred when they showed his buddy getting shot in the head. Fuck.

This is either a horrible idea or a great oppritunity by xXMr_BoJaNgLeSXx	Nov 29th, 2006 09:29:23 PM
to redeem the franchise from Beverly Hills Cop III. Kinda like the 'Superman Returns' of buddy cop action comedies.
Serge vs Bruno by BackRiverCatfish	Nov 29th, 2006 09:35:26 PM
Is it just me or did Sacha Baron Cohen totally rip off the Bruno character from Serge? Maybe Bruno can play his gay cousin in BHC4.
"Beverly Hills Cop III" is, without a doubt... by JackBauer@CTU	Nov 29th, 2006 09:38:11 PM
...the WORST sequel ever made. Yes, worse than "Rocky V." Yes, worse than "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace." And, yes, much, much worse than "Speed 2: Cruise Control." Yet, if they could get Bruckheimer back (one of the few times that his presence would be a plus), & Ronny Cox, John Ashton, and, yes, even Judge Reinhold, complete with the Axel F theme, and gratuitous strip club scenes...this could turn out to be a lot of fun.
Beverley Hills Cop 3 was... by DoctorWho?	Nov 29th, 2006 09:45:20 PM
one of the biggest pieces of crap ever. It made the Police Academy movies look like high art. Still, it would be refreshing to see Eddie get back to the tough, street smart, wise crackin' character he does best. Shrek, fat suits, family films...it's just never been as good as films like Trading Places. And RAW is easily the funniest damn stand up film EVER. "That was the best damn craker I ever ate in my life! Was that a Ritz? That was a Ritz..."
good by v1cious	Nov 29th, 2006 09:47:54 PM
hopefully now we get a return of the old Eddie Murphy.
Probably be dumb with Murphy as all the characters... by Darth Bauer	Nov 29th, 2006 09:54:28 PM
Professor Klump has a heart attack, but Axel thinks it's foul play. So Foley calls (whoever he plays in that new stupid movie where he plays all the characters) to help him solve the case. Turns out Buddy Love had Klump killed. And Taggart is the bad cop helping Love cover up the crime.
They should get Wayne Kramer to write and direct. by Neo Zeed	Nov 29th, 2006 10:04:26 PM
I'd pay to see that.
Let me at this motherfucker..... by CyberBeavis1326	Nov 29th, 2006 10:16:30 PM
I could write a damn good sequel to this one. I don't see why people diss BHC 2, that one was actually better than the original. More comedy, more action, and better actors. I love the fact Axel just drove up and took that house like that, and the whole gunclub stuff. My idea would be, that yeah Billy and Taggart are targeted by someone they put away years ago. Axel now a retired cop, just doing some petty private detective and bail bonds cases gets called in for the funeral. Thus bringing him back to Beverly hills only to discover things overlooked by the police, so he takes on the case personally. Since he has no ties to the Detroit PD, he is simply a loose cannon. There's part of your plot.
they really are all heading back to the well by slappy jones	Nov 29th, 2006 10:21:47 PM
I recently rewatched the first 2 and they really don't hold up at all....
not a good idea by indiebum	Nov 29th, 2006 10:29:58 PM
Eddie Murphy is pulling a Bill Murray and I applaud him for it. PLEASE don't do this, don't let this be your Garfield amongst your Lost In Translations and your Broken Flowers.... please.
RE: indiebum by Neo Zeed	Nov 29th, 2006 10:33:29 PM
He's already pulling a Garfield. It's called Norbit (or as I like to call it: Big Momma's House 3.)

which murphy is it by LordTwinkie	Nov 29th, 2006 11:43:54 PM
Will be smartass Murphy of Trading Places/Raw/Coming to America/48 Hours fame, or will it be Murphy of Nutty Professor/Haunted Mansion/Dr. Dolittle/Daddy Day Care. You just wait, Beverly Hills Cop IV, Axle Foley takes on the dangerous assignment of baby sitting! I wonder if he'll do that laugh he used to do but dropped, probaly cause some damn public relations asshat told him it wasn't cool. Or better yet BHC IV should ditch Murphy and go with who they wanted the first time Stallone!

Beverly Hills Cop 3 really was shit... by Sledge Hammer	Nov 30th, 2006 12:17:12 AM
which is exactly what doesn't have me at all excited about this. If, miracle of miracles, he actually went all out in your face funny and foul mouthed motherfucker Axel Murphy in this, ala the first two films, and not pussified toned down fluffy and non offensive Axel Murphy like he did in BHC 3, then I'd be up for it. I just don't have much faith after the last effort of that happening. And it has to have, at the very least, both Reinhold and Ashton.
Such a tiny chance this will be good by Doc_McCoy	Nov 30th, 2006 01:03:15 AM
Eddie hasn't made a good movie in almost 20 years (COMING TO AMERICA), though I've been hearing good things about DREAMGIRLS so I guess that streak might be over. The chances that they'll get a good script for this, and that a good enough director will sign on = pretty small. But I'd be the first to say I was wrong (and excited) if somehow this actually happened and actually turned out to be good (rather than other long delayed sequels, like, say, GODFATHER III). By the way, when was the last time a sequel was absolutely terrible, but then was followed by another installment that was really good? There are probably a handful out there, I just can't think of any right now... (don't bother saying ROTS, nerds)
Directors by Doc_McCoy	Nov 30th, 2006 01:11:14 AM
Writers aside -- I assume there are a bunch of good but generic cop movie screenplays out there that could be turned into an Axel Foley movie -- who would I be excited about signing on to direct? David Fincher, Joe Carnahan, JJ Abrams, Nicolas Winding Refn, Steven Soderbergh (lord knows he needs to get back on track), Tony Scott, Guy Riche (directing not writing), Wachowski Bros, Chan-Wook Park, Tarantino. Some of those guys would never do it, but a few would certainly consider it...
Gilbert R. Hill by BRUTICUS	Nov 30th, 2006 01:18:05 AM
Inspector Todd was aweomse. He actually REALLY WAS AN INSPECTOR for the detroit PD. I would love for this movie to just be true to what it was. An underdog story. Axel humiliating the rich and powerful criminals publicly. This is where EDDIE shines in general. It's his skill. Humiliating people publibly. Look at the nutty proffessor. Does the scene where Murphy tears Dave Chappelle (the comic) to shreds on stage not stand out as the best part of the movie? He plays the underdog biting back very well. I love the banana in the tailpipe quote but I also loved the "what do you call getting thrown out of a moving car? J-WALKING? line. BHC all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

"John Landis has as much a chance of working with by Zardoz	Nov 30th, 2006 01:45:32 AM
me again as he does of working with Vic Morrow." That was an actual quote from Eddie after Landis' wife made a racially insensitive comment. (or something to that effect) And yet, we still ended up with that piece of shit called BHC3, probably one of the un-funniest movies ever made. But the first one, which I watched on cable this morning, is still as funny as it ever was... (2 has its moments, but the plot is pretty darn thin)
Okay, step back by moviemaniac-7	Nov 30th, 2006 02:03:11 AM
and realize what a bad idea this is... The first one was big fun (80s classic), the second one was also kinda fun. The third sucked bananas and the fourth will be "Nice try, Eddie, do Shrek 4 and keep quiet."

If Martin Brest wants to get back in my good graces, make MIDNIGHT RUN 2!! De Niro & Grodin = comic gold. Seriously, have Jimmy Serrano coming out of prison, hell-bent on killing The Duke and Jack Walsh. Try and get John Ashton and Joey Pants back, and obviously don't forget Alonzo Mosely. I'd rather that then see another fucking Acwell Folly film.
Foley goes John McClane/Last Boyscout... by KillaKane	Nov 30th, 2006 03:28:26 AM
Whatever arc his character skews into, nothing can be as execrable as BHC3. They should get get Shane Black to script & weave his magic and then hire Brest back to direct (hopefully drawing from his Midnight Run and original Hills mojo).
Spot on about Midnight Run...an absolute gem by KillaKane	Nov 30th, 2006 03:31:15 AM
Would love to revisit those characters but then an incredibley tough act to follow.
Rocky dependent by Franklin T Marmoset	Nov 30th, 2006 03:44:08 AM
I suppose this film will depend on how well this new Rocky does. If Mr Balboa is a success, we could see BHC IV along with a bunch of other resurrected eighties franchises. Iron Eagle V, No Retreat, No Surrender IV, Airplane III, Killer Clowns From Outer Space II, etc. Maybe even some kind of Next Next Karate Kid, who knows?
Okay, who said Johnny Wishbone? by David Frames	Nov 30th, 2006 03:50:10 AM
Did I fall off the edge of the world or did Beverly Hills Cop seem long past its prime 13 years ago? Murphy already went back to this well and found it to be full of urine. Surely he can't be this desperate for a hit can he? Okay, maybe he can but it would only be worth it if there was evidence that he'd returned to foul mouthed, wise cracking form and as we haven't seen anything of that in nigh on 20 years, any forth movie would be the triumph of hope over experience. Instead of making him retired, how about retarded? Foley could have had a 'Regarding Henry' moment and in a brave performance, Murphy could explore one man's attempt to adjust to life in the Detroit PD when his wit and bullshiting abilities have been cruely snatched away by a sniper's bullet. It won't be very funny but 3 wasn't either and it could be his only shot at an Oscar.
Is that fuckin' Foley in here? by kwisatzhaderach	Nov 30th, 2006 03:50:31 AM

Yes! But..... No. by NachoNegro	Nov 30th, 2006 05:05:07 AM
No-one wants another good BHC film more than me. But something tells me this is going to stink. You can bet there'll be No Ashton or Cox. I love BHC and BHCII - always have - but I basically pretend III never happened. That film was appalling.

Bowfinger will go down as the last enjoyable by CreasyBear	Nov 30th, 2006 06:16:32 AM
Eddie Murphy performance. When he has all the control in a movie, he comes across as a smug, unfunny pompous ass. When he lets other people have some input, he can still be funny.

CreasyBear, you kidding me? by Cruel_Kingdom	Nov 30th, 2006 08:20:39 AM
Bowfinger sucked. The last "real" Eddie Murphy movie was Boomerang. Still love your handle, by the way. I could watch MAN ON FIRE every day of the year. So, props.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! by PwnedByStallone	Nov 30th, 2006 08:39:36 AM
My goodness Murphy needs to walk off a cliff. Did he not successfully kill this franchise forever with the third installment? It was truly one of the worst films ever made. I mean it wasn't just bad, it was ridiculously awful in every way.
Bowfinger by SeanMiller	Nov 30th, 2006 08:46:38 AM
Loved that movie. Best line... Steve Martin: "Do you have any experience in the movie industry?" Murphy: "Yes, yes I have. I am a frequent renter at Blockbuster."

Wait. Wrong lovable wise-cracking black cop. Say, remember when we were all excited about Beverly Hills Cop 3? And Metro? Remember when Eddie Murphy was gonna light it up again with his brilliant comic timing and affable laugh? We got skunked! Don't let this happen again! (And dear god don't let John Landis near this thing.) Eddie: If you fuck this one up it's back to voiceovers and Pluto Nash for you, buddy. That's the law.
YEAH!!!!!!! TARANTINO BITCHES! by misnomer	Nov 30th, 2006 09:17:52 AM
as long as they go the back-to-basics route, and forget all of number three and pretty much all of number two. Wasn't tarantino interested in this franchise at one point?

now that's just creepy! I guess he was then..unless we both dreamt it. I have to meet you. : D
Why read these posts.. by Cyberfury	Nov 30th, 2006 10:12:46 AM
With everey post it seems like Harry is only using AICN to communicate his wishes to studio execs. I can't blame him, TalkBack's crowd is filled with boring selfproclaimed comics, it's repetative and almost always off-topic banter.. AICN is dead, long live ...some other site.
Murphy can't handle success. by Barry Egan	Nov 30th, 2006 11:18:33 AM
He is going to follow up what is likely an Oscar nominated role in Dreamgirls with this?
Actually by PwnedByStallone	Nov 30th, 2006 11:46:29 AM
The idea of Shane Blacvk writing and directing ALMOST makes me hopeful for the project. Or get Tony Scott again. Didn't he direct II?
Only Cool Thing about BHC3 by Alice Cooper Stalker	Nov 30th, 2006 11:47:33 AM
The only cool thing about BHC3 is that George Lucas had a cameo in it. I am actually excited about this project. I will lose interest in it really quick if the wrong folks are pulled in on it. Get Tarantion to write it. Get Donner or Tony Scott to direct. Make the focus on the story and the action. Make the comedy secondary...as part of the ride. Like the Lethal Weapon movies.
With Michael Richards as Victor Maitland's brother....? by Riley Martin	Nov 30th, 2006 12:35:07 PM
"That's what happens when you interrupt the white man, Axel!"
Call it "Beverly Hills Cops" by Movietool	Nov 30th, 2006 12:35:57 PM
and make it about Billy and Taggart coming to Detroit to attend Axel's wedding/promotion/retirement/w hatever. I always wanted to see Axel actually being a cop IN DETROIT.
Movietool by PwnedByStallone	Nov 30th, 2006 01:17:19 PM
that's not a bad idea actually. Wouldn't be called Detroit Cops though.
Fuck the haters. by Nada	Nov 30th, 2006 02:05:57 PM
Eddie Murphy was and, possibly, is a fucking genius. For somebody to deny that his work in "48 Hrs", "Trading Places", "Raw", "Delirious" and especially "Beverly Hills Cop" wasn't brilliant obviously hasn't seen the movies. Yes, almost all the movies since have been terrible, but "Beverly Hills Cop" is a fucking great movie and Eddie is amazing in it. BHC IV may end up like II and III but you can't deny BHC 1 is an amazing comedy, and there's a reason it's number 1 comedy of all time.
and more Remo Williams! by lynxpro	Nov 30th, 2006 02:08:11 PM
But would DJ Qualls be in it or not?
Leonard Part 7! by lynxpro	Nov 30th, 2006 02:10:28 PM
Has anyone actually watched Leonard Part 6 before? Is it even on DVD? Warped minds wanna know. And more importantly, why isn't Rockstar Games making a version of Red Dawn? That would be sweet on the Xbox360 or PS3.
Axel F: Best Ringtone Ever.... by thecomedian	Nov 30th, 2006 02:15:39 PM
Seriously, Axel F is the greatest 80's theme song ever. Jann Hammer's Miami Vice theme don't even come close. I would LOVE to see the real Eddie Murphy come back. If the American public is going to welcome back Rocky Balboa with open arms God know they should do the same for Axel Folley. And they should TOTALLY bring back Serge too.
No Serge, Harry? by Lando Griffin	Nov 30th, 2006 03:45:49 PM
Balki's gotz ta eat too
Damn! I had forgotten by Almost_Human	Nov 30th, 2006 03:57:59 PM
about Bowfinger. That was pretty good, but was that Eddie driving the film or Steve? ehhh..... I am not so sure it wasn't Steve but then again, the last good movie he made before that was L.A. Story and the last FUNNY movie before that was Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. DMDWP - Now THAT was a comedy!
About Bowfinger by Ridge	Nov 30th, 2006 04:25:34 PM
Bowfinger worked, I believe, because Eddie got to show real duality. On one hand he was subdued, subtle and always great as the brother to Chet Ramsey or whatever his name was, then as the main actor guy, he was overthe top paranoid and almost megalomaniacal. He played both roles damn well, Steve Martin personally, I believe should've gotten an award for that movie. It's truly one of the most underrated modern comedies out there. As for BHC4, I love part 1 unquestionably, I love part 2... I didn't MIND part 3 but I can live without it. Part 4 I agree Harry, open the movie with a scene of Billy getting murdered on the job and Axel getting PISSED and having already retired, coming to LA to do his thing.
Keep it in Detroit this time.. by Ironmuskrat	Nov 30th, 2006 04:49:07 PM
Now that would be an R-rating for sure. Have Axle working off duty as security at a illegal after hours club while secretly trying to solve the mystery of what really happened at the Manoogain mansion the night of Mayor Kilpatrick's stripper party. Who killed Strawberry Kwame, you know the truth! See, the script writes itself...

Give it up!!11
Excited? by Moe Ron	Dec 1st, 2006 02:41:18 AM
Stop, Harry, now, you're only encouraging the executives and producers who have people who have their people who have their assistants scouring the internet and seeing that their foolish idea to bring back a tired franchise is being met with enthusiasm. "What about Dave Chappelle, can we work him in somehow, he's hot?" "Great idea, he could be Axel's son, or nephew, a hot shot young cop who enlists the help of his uncle/father to take on a syndicate, led by an evil movie producer who insists on bringing back dead franchises and killing the souls of millions of unsuspecting moviegoers."
Actually by Moe Ron	Dec 1st, 2006 03:02:10 AM
Foley is now retired, making a lucrative living in L.A. as a consultant on action movies, and he and Billy are contemplating forming their own production company. Foley must return to Detroit, though, when Jeffrey is murdered by cartel/terrorists/irate Lions fans/human traffickers/big oil, take your pick. Hilarity ensues when the now used to high living Foley must team up with his young brash nephew- the aforementioned Dave Chappelle- to track down the murderers and get reacquainted with the streets of Detroit. Evil Hollywood producers. For shame. (Call me, I'm available)
it'll only be good if... by dopepope	Dec 1st, 2006 10:48:01 AM
Eddie Murphy's character is completely CG.
I declare a MASHUP screenplay... by lynxpro	Dec 1st, 2006 11:15:04 AM
Have Axel cross paths with the gang from Entourage. There's comedy gold in it with Axel prankin' Johnny Drama, or settin' up Turtle with a street walker that isn't what she appears to be.
throw in Bruce Campbell too... by lynxpro	Dec 1st, 2006 11:22:14 AM
Hey, the last one had George Lucas with a cameo...Campbell's cameo would bring more life to the flick.
Michael Mann directs.. by dopepope	Dec 1st, 2006 12:43:11 PM
and it's a reimagining of the franchise. Updated, modern, hardcore. No syth music, no up-beats. None of that. No bananas in the tail pipe. Serge is back, sure, but not for laughs. Paul Riser's character is back too, but he's no nerd. And Gilbert Godfried's BITCH screaming chracter is back also, this time in a scene so disturbing, it can't even be hinted at here. A guy with a deep voice will say cool shit in the trailer. You'll all feel cold chills and anxiouly await opening day.
make that 'synth' by dopepope	Dec 1st, 2006 12:44:21 PM

Movietool by DirkD13"	Dec 1st, 2006 01:23:30 PM
I like that idea, bringing Billy and Taggart to Detroit shoud've been the plot basis for the first sequel. I don't agree that kiling Billy in part 4 is a good idea though, he's just as much a part of these films as Axel Foley, and i'm sure ol' Judge needs the work. And i'd quite like to see him back too.
Actually by DirkD13"	Dec 1st, 2006 01:41:57 PM
Why not have Jimmy Serrano from Midnight Run getting out of an LA prison on a transfer to Detroit, being escorted by Correctional Officers Axel Foley and Billy Rosewood. A daring and sucessful raid is then made on the prison bus by Jimmy's Goons who mortally wound Billy in the attack as well as leaving Axel for dead. Upon finding himself a free man Serrano has only a single obsessive thought running through his mind, "Kill Jack Walsh and The Duke", and he's willing to go to any lengths to accomplish this. Whilst recovering in hospital, Axel is visited by Police Detective turned bounty hunter John "Marvin Dorfler" Taggart who informs him that his friend and colleague is dead. When Axel explains what happened, Taggart realises that he has to try and warn his old nemesis, Jack Walsh, of the impending doom. With Axel hell-bent on bloody revenge, Serrano closing in on the men who put him away and Jack Walsh baking scones the scene is set for a tense and violent stand-off, with dick jokes.
This smells like shit by Noeland	Dec 1st, 2006 11:59:13 PM
I want to see them rape the beverly hills cop franchise again as much as I want to see them make die hard 4 . . . or rocky 6 . . . or rambo 5 . . . or to remake every damn horror movie ever made . . . or to see photocopies of Harry's shaved ass.
