Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Eddie Murphy might be a fan of Beverly Hills Cop's first sequel now, but his initial review wasn't nearly so kind. Murphy's rise to stardom during the 1980s was meteoric, as he quickly went from Saturday Night Live to fronting hits like 48 HRS and Trading Places. Of course, the Beverly Hills Cop movies are arguably his biggest claim to fame.
This contradicts a 1989 interview that Murphy gave to Rolling Stone, where he was almost eyewateringly honest about his career up to that point. When asked about concerns he shouldn't have reprised his star-making role as Axel, Murphy agreed with assessments about Beverly Hills Cop 2's quality and mixed reception.
