Brothers Pete and Paul Escarcega, are joined by Drew Stewart, to discuss "Beverly Hills Cop". With the release of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, we’re revisiting the film that transformed Eddie Murphy into a Superstar! Nominated for Best Screenplay, Beverly Hills Cop launched the Action comedy genre into another stratosphere. This is the first of seven Eddie Murphy movies in a row to open at #1 at the box office. Broke the 11-year record set by The Exorcist (1973) as the highest-grossing R-rated film domestically, and itself held the record for 19 years until surpassed by The Matrix Reloaded (2003). After adjusting for inflation, this is the third highest-grossing R-rated film domestically, after The Exorcist and The Godfather (1972). 

Included among the American Film Institute's 2000 list of the Top 100 Funniest American Movies.
