Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Join the Born to Watch team as we discuss the 1984 comedy/action epic Beverly Hills Cop. Starring Eddie Murphy, this is the movie that cemented him as a legitimate superstar. The team were pumped to be chatting about Beverly Hills Cop as it is one of their favourite movies from the 80's. We break new ground in this episode with the first slow jam Kick Arse Credit Song sung with passion by Whitey.
Episode 12 - The BTW team put their special take on 1984's Beverly Hills Cop. Considered one of the most influential comedies of the 1980s, Beverly Hills Cop is a comedy/action movie starring Eddie Murphy as Detroit police detective Axel Foley. The movie was directed by Martin Brest and also starred Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, and Lisa Eilbacher. Beverly Hills Cop was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $300 million at the box office and sending the Eddie Murphy star into the stratosphere.
The team at Born to Watch have already covered one Eddie Murphy movie in The Golden Child and it wasn't received well, with it sitting on the bottom of the ladder. Revisiting a favourite movie is always fraught with danger but Beverly Hills Cop is one of those special films that are as good now as it was in 1984.
The boys will cover all the major topics on the movie and answer some of the big questions like:-
1. What exactly was the relationship between Axel and Mikey?
2. Again, what are bearer bonds?
3. Is this as good as it got for Eddie?
