Franchise Detours


Jan 20, 2023

After two adventures as Axel Foley, Eddie Murphy had sworn off the possibility of Beverly Hills Cop 3. The actor reportedly felt there was nowhere else to go with that character. And yet, here we are talking about the third and final installment in our Beverly Hills Cop mega-series. But was Murphy right when he initially refused to come back for a third movie?

Sandro and Zach from Oldie But a Goodie join the show to dig into how this third entry stacks up with Beverly Hills Cop and Beverly Hills Cop 2. We'll discuss the movie's balance of comedy and action, Murphy's much-maligned performance, and whether Beverly Hills Cop 3 lives up to the infamous reputation it's earned over the years.
