The guy who gave him the bananas is the oldest Wayans brother, Damon, in his first role. I love this movie, it's one of the best action movies from the 80's, no cheesey one liners, no over the top explosions, and the jokes/humor are great not forced into a situation just for a joke. Great reaction, you should definitely watch part two, it's awesome as well...happy birthday as well
FYI. Kenan is the oldest. Maybe watch "I'm gonna git you sucka". Kenan directed it before "In Livin' Color" and it's the first movie to really put them on the map. Also Happy Birthday 😊
Damon wayons is in 1988 movie called “Colors” dope flick about sets, gangs etc You’ll also see young actors who became big in the industry as well as veteran actors
20:13 "dude you are terrible with stealth! Why does he get caught so much?" Axel doesn't do stealth, he does gaslighting. He doesn't sneak into places, he walks right up to the front door and convinces the guard he owns the place.
Good to see you again! One of the best Action Comedy movies ever made! Originally Sylvester Stallone was going to play the role of Axel Foley, but hated the script as he didn't like the humor and wanted to be a darker violent action film. When producers read his rewritten draft, they refused to work with Stallone and Stallone took his rejected draft of the script and turned it into COBRA.
It was a lot more amicable than that, and the producers praised Stallone for being thoroughly professional and gentlemanly about the whole thing. Stallone didn’t hate the original script; he just wanted to tailor it to his own style by cutting down on the comedy and ratcheting up the action. He also wanted Axel’s last name to be Cobretti, so he could be nicknamed the “Motor City Cobra.” The producers didn’t refuse to work with Stallone; the studio balked because all the extra action that he had added was going to blow up the film’s budget, and said it had to be cut, whereupon Stallone graciously bowed out of the project. In fact, most of the cast were hired while Stallone was still attached to the film, including Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Ronny Cox, and Lisa Eilbacher (who was going to be Stallone’s love interest). However, Mikey was going to be Axel’s brother, played by Stallone’s own brother Frank. Eddie Murphy was brought on just a couple of weeks before production started.
You're back!! With a classic from my HS years! Yay, welcome back, missed you, can't wait to watch this one! Great way to start a Sunday morning with my coffee...
The sequel is my fave of the series, so don't skip it. Tony Scott directs. The third is... not the strongest, but isn't terrible. For another 'hollywood cop' role for Eddie - Showtime, with Robert DeNiro.
LOVED this watchalong with you! Being in high school in '84, between this and Ghostbusters, man you couldn't go a day without anyone dropping a quote from these gems... "This isn't my locker... don't be ridickoolus... back off man, I'm a scientist..." 😂😂😂 You should try sgt Taggart in Midnight Run, same director as Bev Hills Cop 😂
Part of me is hoping it’ll get a cinematic re-release sometime in 2024 to commemorate its fortieth anniversary. It’d be great seeing this on the big screen with an audience.
Definitely react to the sequel, Beverly Hills Cop II (1987). It was made by the Simpson/Bruckheimer clan (they made Top Gun) so the action, comedy, explosions, and shenanigans are dialed up to 11!
I used to work at a hotel and Black Sabath was staying there. There were these 2 professional autograph seekers that hung outside fornevery famous person that stayed there to sell the autographs on the internet. So Tony Iomi had his girlfriend do a sexy dance on the table to distract them through the window while Tony(Ozzy's personal assistant) took the potatos I gave him and stuffed them in thier tailpipe. Was hilarious.
Taggart and Rosewood were climbing that wall by themselves? No stunt-doubles as it looks like, can anyone confirm? John Aston (Taggart) was 36 in 1984, he looks like in his 50s :)
happy Birthday! fun review. you are the first one to connect the bonded warehouse scene with Customs clearance issues which is why Axel’s ruse as being a Customs Inspector was so good.
i like the theme song in this always have.. i saw a YT video where a dj did a mashup with beverly hills cop theme and KNIGHT RIDER theme on CLMC MUSIC..so dope
Shut up! It's my Birthday too! What's super crazy is I found out earlier in the week that my co-worker right next to me has the same Bday. He is the first person I've known or met that shares our special day. Of course the most famous person, IMO, that has the same is Jennifer Anniston! She is 1 year younger than me. Happy Birthday dude! Good to see you back and congrats on cracking 10K subscribers! p.s. Thomas Edison is probably the most important person though!
Jennifer Aniston was born in 69 & I had no idea until I looked to see what day your birthday was. That’s some crazy shit right there. She’s still SMOKIN hot!
1. Movie magic: An entire truck loaded with EMPTY cigarette boxes inside the truck but opened boxes with packs spilling out.🙄 2. IMVHO Eddies' best movies are "Trading Places and "Coming to America"😎😎 3. Serge/Bronson Pinchot was in a funny series "Perfect Strangers". 4. Jenny/Lisa Eilbacher played Segar in "An Officer and a Gentleman" HINT HINT 5. Maitland/Steven Koff is one of the best bad guys ever!😁 He also played the Soviet Colonel in "Rambo II". 6. Billy/Judge Reinhold played Brad Hamilton in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". GO CHIEFS.🤩 25-22 😁
In today's prices that hotel suite would be about $710 a night. However if you go to the Beverly Hills Hotel the standard room rate is $1,300 to $1,500 a night. That's the standard room rates. You can be sure the rates for the hotel Suites are a lot more than that. & Then there's the food. A short stack (3 pancakes $30) Coffee $6 no refills. Pancakes & coffee for 4 cost $150. (Same thing closer to $25 at IHOP)
I’m too frugal to ever spend money like that. The most I ever splurge is on a hotel room with a huge square jacuzzi & it’s $150 a night in WV. My husband & I spent our honeymoon there & go every year (except this past year)!
How could you not include Jimmy Carr in your list of distinctive laughs? 😂 This is the best of the trilogy for me, then number 3, then number 2. Also, I’ll never be able to unsee that stunt man thing now 😂
The movie made such an impression on Paramount executives that they comitted to a sequel moments after the first private executive screening of the completed film. Axel's boss, Inspector Todd, was in fact a real life Detroit police detective at the time!!! The director noticed him during a trip to the police station and hired him for the part! Bronson Pinchot invented the persona of "Serge" himself after being inspired by all the shop assistants in Beverly Hills whose nationality was ambiguous. His meeting with Axel in the art gallery was almost entirely ad-libbed and had to be done many times due to members of the cast and crew breaking up with laughter. The hilarious bit where Axel rolls up to the Harrow club in his "crappy blue chevy-nova" and says something like "Put it in a good spot, all this sh*t happened the last time I parked here" was a witty ad-lib by Murphy, as was the entire "SuperCop" story he tells to Bogamil. Producer Don Simpson sadly passed away in early 1996, after years of battling drug addiction. "The Rock" was the last film he and Jerry Bruckheimer made together. Bruckheimer, on the other hand, has spent the last 15 years producing movies on his own, and doing wonderfully with it. He finished out the 90's with "ConAir", "Armageddon" and "Enemy Of The State". In the 21st Century, he turned some of his talents to television with such shows as "The Amazing Race", "Cold Case", and the three "CSI" series. But Mr. Blockbuster(as he's called) also continued his film work with "Pearl Harbor", "Gone In 60 Seconds" and "Black Hawk Down". But beginning in 2002, his partnering with Walt Disney Pictures has given Jerry some of his greatest success, especially the two franchises "Pirates Of The Caribbean" and "National Treasure". During the "supercops" scene John Ashton has his head down pinching his face in apparent frustration but he is actually laughing. Judge Reinhold had his hand in his pocket pinching his leg as hard as he could to stop himself laughing. This is one of many scenes with improvised lines. Eddie Murphy, John Ashton and Judge Reinhold all had improvised comic lines throughout the film and there were many ruined scenes because of the cast and crew breaking out in laughter. The scene where Taggart & Rosewood are sat in their car and Rosewood talks about "the average middle age American man having 5 pounds of undigested red meat in his bowels" was actually used as a casting scene. The director was testing the chemistry between the finalists and gave them scenes to improvise. Ashton & Reinhold's scene was as an average middle-age couple. The scene in the film is their improvision that got them the parts. From: www.fast-rewind.com/making_bhcop.htm
A heavier version of this is “48 hours” with Eddie and Nick Nolte… similar concept but Eddie is a convict and Nolte is the cop, it’s a little bit more grimy.. but great movie
"Before I go, I just want you two to know something, alright? The supercop story... was working. Okay? It was working, and you guys just messed it up. Okay? I'm trying to figure you guys out, but I haven't yet. But it's cool. You fuck up a perfectly good lie." Fun Fact: Film debut of Damon Wayans and Alice Cadogan. Gilbert R. Hill, a real-life Detroit Police Department Homicide Detective, played Inspector Todd. Hill later served as President of the Detroit City Council. Projection Headline Fact: During his tirade at the Beverly Palms Hotel, Axel (Eddie Murphy) pretends to be writing an article called "Michael Jackson: Sitting On Top Of The World" for Rolling Stone magazine. In real life, Playboy ran an Eddie Murphy article with the same "Sitting On Top Of The World" subtitle. Double Assault Fact: The mansion used in the final shootout between Axel (Eddie Murphy) and Maitland (Steven Berkoff), the former Harold Lloyd estate in Beverly Hills, is the same mansion seen in the final shootout between Matrix and Arius in Commando (1985). Coincidentally, both heroes were trying to rescue somebody named Jenny (Lisa Eilbacher) in that mansion in their respective films. What Script Fact: Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, and Judge Reinhold improvised most of their comic lines. Literally hundreds of takes were ruined by cast members, actors, or the director laughing during shooting. During the "super-cops" monologue, Ashton is pinching his face hard and looking down in apparent frustration. He is actually laughing. Reinhold put his hand in his pocket and pinched his thigh really hard, trying to prevent himself from laughing.
At 24:55 I read somewhere that Eddie Murphy just ad-libs the "super cop" rant and the actor playing Taggert can't stop himself from laughing & has to cover his face and put his head down.
Years ago we used to send an ounce of weed in the mail. We packed the ziplock bag inside of a pound of coffee and it worked. This was in California years before it became legal in that state.
My friends use to run a business where he had to pick locks professionally. He had to take a class to do it. I watched him but still could not do it. It takes a knack for being able to do it
Watching this as lads we just said "get the fk outa here!" all the time lol An action comedy that isn't just murder/beheading porn and scatalogical humour. The art of these films is lost :/
Happy Birthday Ryan and this movie is a classic. The second one is just as good. The third movie I loved as a kid and rewatched a couple years ago and I’m like wtf this movie was horrible
I agree that part 3 kind of missed the mark. I love this first outing, and the second is really epic as well:) It finds its groove with the action and comedy under the smooth direction of Tony Scott:) Looking forward to the fourth installment coming soon:)
Great reaction. I've loved this since i was a kid, when it was first on British tv, i agree this one isn't often on. Hope you watch the second one too, that's also really good (in my opinion).. This film though u s my 5th favourite movie, the only ones i love more are Pulp Fiction, Halloween (og), Die Hard, and A Fish Called Wanda.
One of the reasons 3 never quite landed with me is there was no Taggart. The replacement character wasn't bad, per se, but just didn't have the same chemistry with Axel and Billy.
@@RyanCarrington I'm an old yank. No way to know what's hip and cool nowadays. Cept you. You're cool. Lol I will keep enjoying your stuff. Thanks, man.
@RyanCarrington yea it was a box office flop. Your basic action movie with nothing but action and some good one liners. Worth a watch though. In Beverly Hills cop 2 there's a bit of a nod to the film. Theres a movie poster of Cobra that shows up.
This is the best one, by far. The second one leans more into action, less so comedy. It's just not as good. COP was directed by Martin Brest, who also directed the great MIDNIGHT RUN.

"I grew up watching Beverly Hills Cop 3 but not the first two" is one the most depressing things I've ever heard.

I've managed to avoid 3, but I saw 1 and 2 in the theater.
Man, peak Eddie in the theater! Jealous!

It's my birthday today!
Happy existence day!
Congratulations on turning 24
Congratulations buddy!

Glad to have you back buddy! We all missed you!
The guy who gave him the bananas is the oldest Wayans brother, Damon, in his first role. I love this movie, it's one of the best action movies from the 80's, no cheesey one liners, no over the top explosions, and the jokes/humor are great not forced into a situation just for a joke. Great reaction, you should definitely watch part two, it's awesome as well...happy birthday as well
No way! I didn't recognise him at all 😅
FYI. Kenan is the oldest. Maybe watch "I'm gonna git you sucka". Kenan directed it before "In Livin' Color" and it's the first movie to really put them on the map. Also Happy Birthday 😊
@@RyanCarrington happy birthday.
Damon wayons is in 1988 movie called “Colors” dope flick about sets, gangs etc
You’ll also see young actors who became big in the industry as well as veteran actors
Really really happy to see you back in action on your birthday my friend. Please keep doing what you do and being yourself
Thanks man 👊
"How many cars did they destroy in this movie?" -asked the man who clearly hasn't seen The Blues Brothers.
Happy birthday.
Every time I've gone to watch it, something comes up and then I forget about it.
I'm gonna try and get it done this month 🤞
While you watch the Blues Brothers you might as well watch Blues Brothers 2000
@@raymondoverbee2300 Didn't see it. I heard it sucked.
20:13 "dude you are terrible with stealth! Why does he get caught so much?"
Axel doesn't do stealth, he does gaslighting. He doesn't sneak into places, he walks right up to the front door and convinces the guard he owns the place.
Exactly. That's the running joke...stealth what??
Good to see you again!
One of the best Action Comedy movies ever made!

When producers read his rewritten draft, they refused to work with Stallone and Stallone took his rejected draft of the script and turned it into COBRA.
It's sad that Sly was in a humorless mood at the time. A few years later he totally killed the comedic timing in Demolition Man.
It was a lot more amicable than that, and the producers praised Stallone for being thoroughly professional and gentlemanly about the whole thing. Stallone didn’t hate the original script; he just wanted to tailor it to his own style by cutting down on the comedy and ratcheting up the action.

Much appreciated!
The sequel is my fave of the series, so don't skip it. Tony Scott directs.
The third is... not the strongest, but isn't terrible.
For another 'hollywood cop' role for Eddie - Showtime, with Robert DeNiro.
I personally prefer the original but Beverly hills cop 2 is classic. Such a fun action movie, can watch it whenever it was on TV from any point
You can never go wrong with De Niro! He’s such a fantastic actor, no matter what genre he’s in!
Dude, Serge is one of my favorite characters ever 😂
He's hilarious 😂
Serge is awesome but shotout inspector Todd, such a great 80s boss/cop. His scenes w axel are some of the best
Happy birthday, Ryan
Beverly Hills Cop theme is the 1st piece of music I ever learned. 😁
Happy Birthday big homie.
Awesome. I can see why!
the actor in the scene in the art gallery was a very well known actor at the time. he was in the sitcom Perfect Strangers
Happy birthday, Ryan!!🎉 So very good to have you back!
Triumphant return and the happiest of birthdays to you!

Fun watch! Second one is worth the watch as well!! Hope you had a great birthday!!!
Thanks so much!
Won't work, police dogs are trained to sniff out coffee as well lol
Damn it 😂
Ah, part of the soundtrack of my highschool years! Fun fact Axel's commander in Detroit was an actual Detroit commander not an actor. Great movie 🍿❤
I'm sure I watched something that said he was a bit dodgy?
14:30 That's what happens in the USA today. The bad guys go free while good guys get arrested.

I never realized how many amazing movies Bruckheimer was involved in! What an amazing producer!

I swear I was cracking up so much from all the awesome edits! I was bobbing my head when the cat came on & it took me out! 😂😂😂
"What brings him back in the sequel?" --- Well! I guess sir, you are going to have to watch it and find out!
I agree that part 3 kind of missed the mark. I love this first outing, and the second is really epic as well:) It finds its groove with the action and comedy under the smooth direction of Tony Scott:) Looking forward to the fourth installment coming soon:)
New sub here. I'd forgotten just how much fun this movie is. Of course it's been 40 years since I saw it 😂
Such a great movie.
Thanks for watching along!
part 2 is even better--.- more action more jokes more guns more stuff more of everything ^^
48 HRS is grittier, and Eddie's best movie
I've added it to the list!
trading places is another eddie comedy and not to sound pervy but we get to enjoy jamie lee curtis full frontal
Eddie's stunt double, who throws Jonathan Banks's stunt double over the table, looks more like Richard Pryor than Eddie Murphy :p
I literally thought it was Richard Pryor!
Great reaction. I've loved this since i was a kid, when it was first on British tv, i agree this one isn't often on. Hope you watch the second one too, that's also really good (in my opinion).. This film though u s my 5th favourite movie, the only ones i love more are Pulp Fiction, Halloween (og), Die Hard, and A Fish Called Wanda.
Halloween was one of the first few reactions I did. I've seen the others except for the last one so I'll add it to the list 🤙
I'll keep an eye out for it.
You gotta check BH2 it's the BEST in the series and Directed by Tony Scott!
1 and 2 the best…happy belated birthday
Thanks man 👊
I like the edit at the beginning XD
Thanks man! Appreciate that.
Probably wasn't worth the extra few hours it took, but it was fun 🙌
All your edits are worth the time to us, & we absolutely appreciate the hard work you do! You are hilarious my man!
Jimmy Carr's laugh is epic.
Rich "Dick the birthday boy" Evans has a very distinctive laugh.
Good ol Billy Big Balls
Happy birthday
Thank you!
@@RyanCarrington you're welcome
35:11 "Welcome to the party, pall"
Sorry, wrong movie.
48 hrs 1 and 2 great too eddie in buddy cop films with nick nolte
At 26:45 I was doing the same thing! 😂😂😂 That cracked me up!
One of the reasons 3 never quite landed with me is there was no Taggart. The replacement character wasn't bad, per se, but just didn't have the same chemistry with Axel and Billy.
I can't even remember the replacement character 😂
@@RyanCarrington see? Lol
You should check out 48 hrs. A lot darker and, IMHO, Eddie Murphy's best overall role.
Definitely coming soon!
Nah, not Crazy Frog Theme, Axel Fowly Theme. That tune is litterally called "Axel F".
Foley* lol. Damn autocorrect
You should check out society of the snow, i would love to hear what you have to say about that one
Happy birthday to you 🎉🥳 also, why didn't you say Axel's car was minging? Please react to The Golden Child - another 80s Eddie Murphy flick. ❤
God, I haven't said minging since I was about 15 😂
I'll add that movie to the list!
@@RyanCarrington I'm an old yank. No way to know what's hip and cool nowadays. Cept you. You're cool. Lol I will keep enjoying your stuff. Thanks, man.
@shediva5705 haha tbf I don't know what's cool these days either haha
I just had to look that word up. Siri wouldn’t register what I said lmao.
You need to watch crocodile Dundee 1&2
This was written for Stallone but he didnt like the comedy aspect and turned it down and did Cobra instead.
Ahhhh! I haven't seen Cobra either. Can't even say I've heard of that one 😅
@RyanCarrington yea it was a box office flop. Your basic action movie with nothing but action and some good one liners. Worth a watch though. In Beverly Hills cop 2 there's a bit of a nod to the film. Theres a movie poster of Cobra that shows up.
Amadeus Mozart (have you seen the movie?)...
This is the best one, by far. The second one leans more into action, less so comedy. It's just not as good. COP was directed by Martin Brest, who also directed the great MIDNIGHT RUN.
I was 12 when BC3 came out so of course it was great. “Turn that f***ing song off!!!”
TBF all the bad guys are dead so they dont have to worry about courte.
Not the South Park edit 😂😂
I need to stop with these edits 💀
@@RyanCarrington NO DON’T! 😂😂 I live for the random edits! They kill me & I’m 100% here for it!
He really is a terrible police office. As crooked as they come in reality. Look up Gil Hill.
