Have You Ever Seen

Beverly Hills Cop


Listen Later

He was a big star before it, but Eddie Murphy became galactic after Beverly Hills Cop came out in 1984. His blockbuster hit remains funny all these years later even though it deals with some deadly serious subject matter like death and so much destruction. Martin Brest directed a tremendous action comedy, but his picture is even more impressive when you consider they were apparently winging it a lot of the time. Eddie has always been a brilliant improviser and he & his co-stars did a lot of that here. Eddie's Axel Foley is also pretty much a genius detective, expertly stirring up the rule-followers John Ashton & Judge Reinhold. So don't be stupid. Just spend a bit of your day with the fish-in-water 414th Ellises' Analysis as we do the neutron dance and dig into The Eddie Murphy Show.

Well, Actually: The movie on the shortlist of highest-grossing R-rated films of all time is Deadpool (and Deadpool 2, for that matter), not Daredevil. Also, a grinning Axel driving his car on a street surrounded by palm trees is of course in Beverly Hills, not in Detroit.

You'll find it easier to be a supercop if you pump some great caffeine into your system, so load up on Sparkplug Coffee. When you're ready to pay the tab, apply our promo code ("top100project") into the right place and save yourself 20%.
