“I’ve been hearing Axel Foley stories since the Academy.” Netflix has debuted an amusing 80s throwback trailer for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the long-awaited new sequel in the Beverly Hills Cop series. The movie is now playing on Netflix and can be enjoyed worldwide. This smashing new follow-up (BHC4!) picks up right where things left off with Axel Foley as he returns to his old stomping grounds in SoCal for more mayhem. When his daughter is threatened, he is drawn back to the many opulent environs of Beverly Hills to investigate the untimely demise of a long-time confidant. She & Foley team up with a new partner to turn up the heat & uncover a conspiracy. Eddie Murphy is back as Foley for the fourth time, after first taking on the role in the 1984 comedy classic. The new cast includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his new partner, Taylour Paige, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Bronson Pinchot, Paul Reiser, and Kevin Bacon. This is probably the best trailer of all of them released for this movie, though I’m missing more 80s graphics and VHS quality to make it entirely authentic. Happy to report the movie is good fun! Better than expected.
Here’s the final “80s Edit” trailer for Mark Molloy’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, from Netflix’s YouTube:
