"When you think of the '80s, think of Eddie Murphy." *-Eddie Murphy*
"When you think of Garbage, think of Akeem." *-Eddie Murphy*
"Come on in and experience some of my bullshit."
..And the rest as they say is cinematic history.
The Beverly Hills Cop -trilogy is so amazingly funny because of Eddy, you can watch it over and over again, it's never boring and it's never bad.
The theme, “Axel F,” was on the radio constantly in the summer of ‘85. The soundtrack is one of the best ever. I know you don’t do music anymore, but y’all need to check this soundtrack out sometime on your own. This movie is peak Eddie Murphy.
@29:32 Billy’s bravery in this movie is underrated and possibly under appreciated by a lot of people. Mr. Video noticed. Billy stood up in the line of fire to take out a henchman.
Billy is a classic Cowardly Lion character; someone who doesn't actively thrill seek and is a bit skittish but always finds his courage when he needs to.
"Is that fuckin' Foley in here?" Lol
LOVE THIS MOVIE!
One of my favorite action comedy movies!
Originally Sylvester Stallone was going to write and Star in the movie, as his script was darker, violent and action packed. However, it was rejected by studio executives, and he turned his Beverly Hills Cop script into the 1986 thriller COBRA.
"The Chief didn't Chew it all off, you still got a Little Ass left"
Dude that was a young Mike from breaking bad. Good eye. Actors name is Jonathan Banks.
I absolutely love this movie! It's one of Eddie Murphy's best, in my own opinion. A great combination of action and comedy.
Eddie Murphy had 3 albums (comedy) in the 80s. Delirious, Comedian, and Raw. He wore tight leather outfits in all 3. Everyone told him he looked a little silly too, that was the inside joke there. This movie even came out a few years before RAW.
Anyone else notice how when the action starts, Mr. Video gets all anxious. Eyes get big, sits up in the chair (new chair), pulls awesome faces? Friggin' love that, lol.
A great reaction to a brilliant film. Eddie Murphy was on fire with his films during this period.
A smile immediately came to my face when I saw this upload. I had an absolute blast watching this with a buddy recently, and can't wait to see you laugh!
@28:14 Billy’s timing was actually perfect. If he would have gone in sooner, he would’ve been outnumbered and killed. If he had gone in any later, Axel would’ve been killed.
Classic 80s movie Eddie Murphy was the man
29:31 The snub-nose .38 has ZERO accuracy after 10 feet, at 20 feet you may as well be shootind behind you.
But Billy knows his gun and hit square at about 40-50 feet.
Dang son! You're looking all professional and whatnot. Green screen? Nice chair? Pop filter on the mic? Looking good. Keep up the good work young man.
Mike had the same aura already back then
About ten seconds after Leo recognized Mike, the video cut to an ad for Breaking Bad on streaming. 😂😂
Great movie. I remember recommending that a while back. Here's some other cop/buddy cop movie recommendations for you, Leo:
Dirty Harry [All 5 movies]
End of Watch
Hot Fuzz
L.A. Confidential
Training Day
Point Break
The Hidden
Hell or High Water
Robocop 2 [since you already watched the first one]
Black Rain
Hard Boiled
48 Hrs.
The Last Boy Scout
Hey Leo, thanks for reacting to this gem! The 2nd one is actually just as good and usually sequel’s suck. Cheers!
You should consider also watching 48 Hours with Murphy and Nick Nolte...an early Eddie movie that is a buddy cop type film that also has a decent sequel.
One of Eddies greatest movies! Absolute classic!!!
Gotta check out 48hrs with Eddie Murphy. Another good cop movie 🍿 🤟🏽🔥
Another banger Leo. Keep 'em coming.
I'm going to keep suggesting The Warriors (Theatrical Cut) in the hopes you might do it. It's a proper cult classic.
CAN YOU DIG IT?!
Poppin in for the algorithm and poke that like 👍 button, enjoyed rewatching this movie, great reaction Leo 🫶🏻💕🫶🏻
Eddie Murphy's 4th film, first lead role and debut as producer.
The beginning of his reign as an comedy superstar on film.
This is a classic that really means everything to the hardcore fans of Murphy from his stand-up shows to SNL.
He holds his own with the supporting cast and rocks this joint.
Movies about Cops prior to BHC were either dramas, parodies and/or thrillers.
Afterwards more comedies about cop characters came to be.
The movie's soundtrack and score by Harold Faltermeyer (including the theme, Axel F.) is kick-a** from top to bottom.
This won a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, an Oscar-nomination for Best Original Screenplay and became the No.1 film of 1984 (dethroning Ghostbusters).
Part 2 (directed by Tony Scott) is a major winner of an sequel.
Part 3 (directed by John Landis) is the worse and you will be disappointed.
Part 4 is in the works and will be on Netfilx.
Lord knows we can use some Axel Foley back in the culture.
Ok, Leo. You're doing great. The next movie for you is Eddie Murphy's first one. It's called 48 Hours and it's a real blast. I guarantee you will love it!!
And if you're that concerned about the order if the movies, then check the release dates. Also, because I've seen you enjoy a certain madness in comedy, you should certainly take a look at these three classic comedies.
SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT,
STIR CRAZY,
and NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE. They will leave you in stitches. Enjoy
A year before this movie, Billy, (Judge Reinhold) starred in the movie FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, he was part of one of the most iconic moments in 80s movie history with Phoebe Cates (Gremlins) in which he gets caught fantasizing and self pleasure by Phoebe, in which he just got a little too excited. The strip bar joke was Eddie improvising and ribbing Judge about his claim to fame.
Eddie is the 🐐
I’m a cop, inspector Todd’s not like a concerned dad, he keeps pushing the “Go to the Hospital” thing because the medical report indicating that he had a head injury consistent with him being knocked out at the same time as his friend’s approximate time of being murdered would be Axel Foley’s alibi. Remember what Inspector Todd says; _”…Let’s take a close look at that - _*_1)_*_ a HOODLUM Friend, _*_2)_*_ a Professional Hit, _*_3)_*_ at a Cop’s Apartment…this whole thing stinks to High Heaven…”_ the medical report would rule Axel out as being a suspect in Mikey’s murder…Inspector Todd’s protecting him…and HE KNOWS Axel’s not going to stay outta the case, he tells him to stay out of it, but he knows that’s why he’s going to Beverly Hills…that’s why Inspector Todd vouches for Axel when he gets a call from Lt. Bogomil… _“Forget about what you can prove, what do you have?!”_
Geez! You watch movies like I do. Was that "subtext"? Was that more than just a "throwaway line"? 😂👍
I thought I was the one who normally read too much into movie plots / scripts, but that was great. lol
It just makes the movie a bit more realistic, to think Todd knew Axel would follow his nose anyway, so basically let him do it.
Interesting that Insp Todd (played by Gil Hill) was a real police officer back then, too.
He was in the documentary "White Boy" though, detailing some of his real-life dodgy dealings in the police force.
(the movie of that, "White Boy Rick" is *well* worth a watch, btw.)
Over time, he was like a concerned father figure. Unfortunately, the abomination that was the third film showed a glimmer of that only before Insp. Douglas Todd's untimely death.
@@MrBoyYankee I'm SO glad it wasn't just me who thought part 3 was awful.
I was worried somebody might have said it was their favourite (although I don't see how. lol)
I guess the analogy for Part 3 would be like the 2014 remake of Robocop vs the 1987 Robocop - the 2014 version had NONE of the original vibe, satire, character, tight script, dark humor. They just missed the mark completely.
It even looked like Eddie Murphy got a bit bored during that one, sadly.
Man ive been waiting soooo long for you to watch this movie. My favorite Eddie film ever. I think the best thing about this movie is that Billy n Taggert become the crew he never knew he needed and Bogimil becomes a new mentor trying to keep him in line just like Inspector Todd has been doing
If I remember correctly, the man that played Inspector Todd was an actual police officer who was originally a consultant for the movie. They liked him so much they gave him the part.
its going to be interesting to see if Eddie can really be Axl Folley again in 2023. I think there's a good chance he still can be that guy
Always love your reactions😊this is one of my favourites.
You definitely need to check out life with eddie Murphy and Martin lawrence.
He is doing part 4 but I believe you would enjoy 48 hours which is his first movie
16:18 "How could you not notice a man sticking a banana in your tailpipe?".
Completely fair question, that seems like something people should notice.
Honestly this is one of my favourite films with eddie murphy and I love how he portrayal's Axel foley 👌😃👌😃👌😃
Your reactions are so fun and never fail to bring me a smile and laugh when I need it.
We just had to put down a beloved pet on Saturday and seeing this today is the first time I’ve laughed since.
As always, thank you 🙏🏼
Keep up the great work and the great vibes! ✌🏽
Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Another amazing reaction! Thanks for all the content Leo. Bringing that heat! Consider reacting to Harlem Nights (1989). It’s not as talked about, as other Eddie Murphy movies, he did it after coming off a high of back to back 80s hits. It was a passion project for him, worth checking out.
It's hilarious. Some of my favorite lines are from Della Reese. "Got my mouth all set for hash." "You shot my pinky toe!"
Yep that is indead mike. Back in my day back in the 80s he was always like a henchman in a ton of movies and TV shows.
Love the lions jacket he wore in this movie!
😂 “I didn’t just walk into this city from the cotton fields”, f’n Inspector Todd
Hell yes. This is what I grew up with. Beverly Hills Cop. Beverly Hills Cop 2 is one of my favorites movies ever but this one is really good too. Very excited to enjoy this with you.
Btw the guy who killed Eddie Murhpy's friend at start of movie, is Mike from Breaking Bad, Jonathan Banks. Also the gay black guy in hotel who give s him bananas for tail pipe trick is a very young Damon Wayans.
Back in the 80's I was friends with the son of Gil Hill, who played inspector Todd, (Eddie Murphy's Boss in Detroit. I met Mr. Hill and he was a wonderful man. He was the head of the Homicide department in Detroit. When I told him I was going on vacation alone, traveling across the U.S. by myself, he told me, "I got files of girls, just like you, who thought they were safe, but turned out they weren't . You better be careful." He was up for a part in the TV show, Hill Street Blues, but he didn't get it. This movie was HUGE in the 80's, as was Eddie Murphy. That was truly his decade.
Ok, you've seen this one, but you NEED to see the second one!!! For reals!!!
Axel Foley is my favourite of all of Eddies’ characters!
its crazy how a comedy movie has such an intense villain
It really is considering how funny the movie is. They managed to do it pretty much all 3, first two were the best, with this one being great
⚜️ Best cop series ever, Leo! 🔥
"Rolling Stone's Axel Foley."😂
Never realized how much Mr.video sounds like lil Wayne sometimes when he talks lol
Inspector Todd was the real chief of Detroit PD and suspected of being crooked as shit.
20:28 Eddie Murphy was wired on caffeine and riffed off the cuff the "Super Cops" routine. His two co-stars were trying their best not to laugh and screw up the scene.
There’s an episode of Family Guy where Peter loves to sing the theme song of this movie 😂🤣 “Hehehehehehe and then another Hehehehehe!” 😂
I never caught that Eddie was laughing at his own "Raw" outfit.
😂😂😂
I was wondering where you went! Glad I found you again. Iv missed laughing with you😂😂😂
Boomerang and Golden Child. Love this reaction. 😂❤
That's Herbie Hancock on the music. He did the famous "Axel F" theme. He's a jazz pianist. Played with Miles Davis in the 60s. Then he moved into jazz/rock fusion in the 70s. "Watermelon Man" is one of his most famous jazz tunes. He had a few pop hits in the 80s. And he's still around today.
I cant wait to see ur reaction to one of my favorite childhood movies!!! 🥰🥰
OMG Leo!!! "Life"! "Life"! Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence..top 5 of all time in my book (not top 5, but I wonder why they haven't redone Harlem Nights yet? Hmm wait til you see that)
Such a god damn good movie
Awesome movie..thanx Mr v, hope u can do 2 and 3.
You need to see his first movie 48 hours great movie he did a great job
Everybody did a good job on this movie, but Mr. Murphy is (in the jargon of a previous generation) _somethin' ELSE!_ And, in *The Golden Child* a couple of years later, he did it again, with hardly any gunplay to speak of. Warmly recommended.
A great time in your company for this feature, sir. Consider the following subscription a holidays gift. 😎
Gotta do Beverly Hills Cop 2. It's very good.
was just trying to find your Napolean Dynamite reaction but cant find it any more :( hurts cause that is one of my fav vids of yours leo, especially the ending
19:50 . "BILLY YOU CHANGED MAN! WHAT YOU DOING WITH ALL THIS GUN MAN! 😂
Leo, please watch the movie CB4, starring Chris Rock. I think you'll like it.
Victor's bodyguard is Mike from Breaking Bad for those who dont recognize this great actor.
Awesome reaction Leo 😊
Leo, loved your look as Axel told the host at the club about why he wanted to talk to Victor Maitland… your eyes got wider and wider…😂 If you’re enjoying Jenny, check out the movie “An Officer And A Gentleman.” BTW, this movie’s sequel is OK…
I didn't see any of these in the movie theater but I remember seeing them on video tape from an uncle who recorded them off HBO and I f****** loved them when i was a kid
The guy that plays Jeff is great too. He plays in a show called "Mad About You,from the 90's.
"You're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe?"
You need to watch the others ASAP, they're all hilarious.
That hotel Axel is staying in would cost almost $700 a night today, if you adjust the $235 from 1984 dollars to now. I've stayed at some very nice hotels that look like palaces on the inside and none have been $700 a night. But his way of getting a room was definitely effective.
Now you have to watch part 2. Eddie Murphy is so amazing.
Yooo this is lit never seen this movie before.. great reaction
This is one of my all time favorite movies! You should watch “48 Hours,” with him and Nick Nolte. It’s another early Eddie Murphy classic!!
Eddie wore a purple suit in Raw. he was wearing the red leather suit in Delirious.
1. GOOF: An entire truck loaded with EMPTY cigarette boxes.🙄
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"
Can’t wait for PT 2. That’s a classic. 3 was trash tho.
When you guys do Eddie Murphy you need to start at the beginning with his First movie 48 Hours.
Hi Mr V looking good. Another great from Eddie Murphy. Hope Bellas well. Hugs for her and love to you and your family.❤
I made a point to go see Nakatomi tower and the Beverly Hills police department building for die hard and Beverly Hills cop when I was in LA about five years ago. As an Australian movie buff who will probably never set foot on American soil again, it was pretty surreal for me.
I hope you react to the 2 & 3 as well! Don't sleep on it bro 😂
I love this series, they are making a new one too! The soundtrack to the first one is full of bangers, too bad YT won't allow any of em. 😅
One of the best damn buddy cop movies out there
(I know most ppl don't call it a Buddy Cop movie cause it's not a duo of cops, but Axel Foley has enough personality for 2 people)
Taggart and Rosewood were buddy cops. It didn't take long for that duo to become a trio with Axel.
12:55 Before playing Dick Jones in _Robocop,_ Ronny Cox, Here as Lieutenant Bogomil, always played a kinda forgettable good guy. After _Robocop_ he could get any role he wanted.
One of my all time fave movies!!
Oh yeaaa u & Eddie in this movie are the perfect match😍
Eddie owned the 80’s but judge and john were so great as well
Eddie watching Eddie, perfect.
2:06 . Balkey (Serj) from "Perfect Stranger's. A very fun 80's show.
"Is there a problem?" "Are you security here?" "Yeah." "Then you're the fuckin' problem, go get your supervisor!"
What's even better.... Could be wrong, but I believe that Eddie was just having fun performing other characters during the Movie 🎥
So scary man. I'd piss my pants
The Karen special
