Tonight on Netflix: This hilarious cop adventure made its cast a star

Netflix subscribers, discover a 1980s movie classic currently hosted on the platform: the incomparable Beverly Hills Cop! And if you like the movie, know that its two sequels are also available on the platform.

The fourth film was directed by Murphy and here are the first pictures!

Beverly Hills Cop follows Axel Foley, a Detroit police detective with a knack for defiance. He finds his childhood friend Mikey Tandino, who has just arrived from Beverly Hills, but the latter is murdered in front of him. Foley learns that Tandino has been holding German bonds of dubious origin and goes to Beverly Hills to investigate, where his methods wreak havoc.

Eddie Murphy’s Improv

This detective film could have been just another 80’s thriller if not for Eddie Murphy’s personality and humor that shines through every frame. The colorful responses (often heated) are legion, the jokes come out with automaton speed and often with improvisation!

Eddie Murphy is – somewhat – watched by director Martin Brest, who will then sign the friendly film Midnight Run with De Niro and Charles Grodin, then Le Temps d’un weekend, which will bring Al Pacino an Oscar or a reunion. With Joe Black.

At that time, Eddie Murphy was already a regular on the comedy show Saturday Night Live, one of his stand-ups moved to the movies, and he showed what he could do in the movies 48 Hours and A Seat for Two. But it was with Beverly Hills Cop that he became a star of the big screen and reached the top alone, for a good fifteen years.
