Summary Eddie Murphy has now made Beverly Hills Cop movies for 4 decades, with the fourth entry, Netflix's Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F taking 30 of those years to make it to the screen. By now, Murphy is far less prolific, having made only a handful of movies since Dolemite Is My Name brought him back into the limelight, but in the 1980s, he was as big a star as it's possible to imagine.
Related Every Eddie Murphy Action Movie, Ranked Worst To Best Eddie Murphy has many action movies in his filmography, but how do they all rank alongside one another, including the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy? Sadly, whatever convinced him to actually make it wasn't enough to make him enthusiastic about it in his performance. Director John Landis tends to take the heat for the movie's failure, and there are certainly grave issues with the script and story, but Murphy's listless performance is a gnawing low-point.
