3 is very bad. It tried to be Die Hard in a park. Eddie wanted to be more like an action hero than a wise-cracking character who could fight when the situation called for it. BHC 2 had WAY more octane compared to the 1st film, but still maintained the primary focus to be comedy and being a buddy movie.
You know what scenes shows how Part 3 had no clue what to do with Eddie? When Axel was forced to pay admission into the park instead of using some kind of ploy or con to trick them into letting him in free. Remember how he hustled that luxury hotel suite and the unfinished mansion by doing that in the earlier 2 films?
Not to mention the very boring sequence of Eddie infiltrating the inner access of the park where in Part 1 and 2, it would have him encountering some kind of gag that he would comment on or indulge in some kind of fun with the park staff.
those were setups for punchlines later, 3 was the opposite of half assed. they spent all the time and money.

I know and it's just so damned frustrating. My uncle gave me his VHS tapes of Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 as a kid. I finally saw Part 3 when it was on cable and I was so disappointed. No Taggert or Bogomil. The comedy was non-existent and the plot was terrible. Even when it tried to be serious like the Inspector's death, it just didn't click because they made him crack a quip in the end. None of the action was stimulating like the earlier 2 films.
Yeah they brought back Bronson, but it was pretty awful.

the cops in 3 were great, hector elizondo is always good. john landis at his peak. legitimately better than 2 and really close to 1, possibly better. i dont know if the cable version fricked something up but don't do that.

I liked Hector's character, but it wasn't the same without Taggert.
>legitimately better than 2 and really close to 1
Ugh, I know you enjoy 3, but 2 was a great sequel. The opening sequence alone is amazing for the way that heist was pulled off with the stopwatch. My only criticism was the final shootout was something you'd normally expect from an Arnold, Stallone, Norris, or some other 80's action flick, but the cement truck chase is one of the best.

2 was a great movie period but it wasn't a great beverly hills cop sequel (except judge reinhold who's consistently great at his character). I also get that 3 wasn't really a "beverly hills" movie either but a "california" movie in the way the scale gets bumped up.

I have noticed the same thing and my tinfoil hat theory Is that is has to do with the transcoding to Netflix. I refuse the believe all these filmmakers are blind and incompetent enough to have this amateurish flat look to them, so I think it's intentional to optimize and min/max the source file to take up as little bandwidth as possible so the colors need to be flattened or something to that effect. I just can't imagine another scenario because anyone with pair of functional eyes can tell how cheap, flat and "samey" all their production look.
I think a lot of them use the RED models which in themselves pretty amazing but I think in the pursuit of capturing for HDR/RAW they just don't bother with lighting because they do color grading in post. The problem is that a lot of color graders seem to think "natural" tones are the best which really strips out warm elements and stylization.
When done right it works well like Mindhunter but yeah, for the majority of Netflix shit it seems like this highly digitized home video feel.

Netflix also tells them specifically which cameras and lenses they can and can't use. Even if a young gun wants to try something new they can't.
>no c**ty teenage girl upstaging Axel in the trailer
That's something at least. Maybe they're just hiding it from the trailers, but I'm open to torrenting this movie if I hear its decent
Dolemite is my Name was pretty good, and that was only a few years ago
Does seem like a fluke considering everything Eddie Murphy has done since, though
nah, even coming2america was pretty okay. still a cheap cash grab but fairly respectful of audiences and original. not too old and greedy to make kino.
on one hand, this sucks by trying to revive another dead franchise from the 80s, on the other I really fricking liked Bad Boys for life, so who knows I will at least try to watch it
>Bad Boys for life
i had to shut it off when they mentioned four chins and something something bullets. i couldnt handle the cringe. i can handle subtle references like in mr robot or pantheon, where its just in the background, but writing it into the plot never worked
What the frick don't these dumb motherfrickers understand about growth? >STILL wearing the same g'damn jacket >STILL a detective instead of a man in charge of detectives >STILL acting like he's a 30 year old badass instead of a 62 year old man >works with the same dudes who also haven't advanced after decades
This shit is lame. It's like if a 60 year old former college quarterback decided to go back to school and play football again....just dumb.
Murphy, and old dudes like him, need to be in the "wise mentor" role and leave the action shit to the younger men.
sorry zoomer there's a little thing called a mid-life crisis that makes people do dumb shit like pretend they're still young. grow up and you'll learn some shit.
This isn't building the Beverly Hills Cop Cinematic Universe you fricking sperg. It is bringing back a successful formula with a number of the people that made it successful. It is not about continuity and growth its about bringing back a fun couple hours with some funny action some hot chicks and a little bit of a story.
Serious answer: boomer producers are stuck in a perpetual midlife crisis. But this is just how boomers think, they actually believe their lifespans are like 130 years or something

I remember the kicker being a hot chick because this was right around the time that CU had one. For some reason I half remember her doing a shower scene in it but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about it.
Anybody else remember the anon who would post Balki/Perfect Strangers threads and made up episodes where he and cousin Larry had a homosexual relationship?
>going for a more "serious" tone with a lot more action and big stunts >everybody is way too old to still be doing this shit
if they wanted to make a fourth movie, it should have been 15-20 years ago. They just look ancient now.
>Beverely Hills Cop: AXEL F - A Beverly Hills Cop Story [Featuring Axel Foley]
What the hell happened to movie titles, why do all the legacy sequels do this shit. Do they think nobody would see it if they just called it Beverly Hills Cop 4?
Dunno. Even anti-cop rhetoric can't diminish the comfiness of BHC. And they can still play up the idea of hip black working class cop that trounces upper class white cops that are out of touch and by the book.
I always liked that Axel was from Detroit. And in Beverly Hills Cop 1 we get a shot of him driving on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit. You don’t get to see my home city in movies quite often or have characters associated with it. Nice to see the first shot of the trailer was the word Detroit on his jacket
They should've just stuck to only 2 movies. The first one was a great fish-out-of-water action comedy that was successful because of Eddie Murphy and not the original idea to have Stallone instead. And I loved Part 2 because it shows how the 4 of them (Axel, Bogomil, Taggert, and Billy) all became friends and went fishing together. And this time, Axel puts his butt on the line to figure out who shot Bogomil. The 2nd movie even addresses how Axel owes everything to Bogomil risking his neck so it's time for Eddie to repay the favor.

>theme song for your most significant project of your career turns into 'that weird meme song about a naked frog thing' >you briefly regain fame for a single night because Will Smith slapped you >wait, no, that was the other one, nevermind
From the trailer I'd say the focus is way too heavy on action. Beverly Hills Cop isn't an action movie its a detective story punctuated with humor and 3 action scenes, a car chase to open the film, a brief shootout at a strip club in the middle to keep the pacing from getting to slow and a big shootout at the end. That's the balance it should have.
Also modern rap completely sucks ass compared to the fun of the original's soundtrack.

Not since they saw 3 lol
3 is amazing though, not remotely bad at all

Ok, why do all netflix movies/shows have the same soulless look to it? It's something about the colors, they all look the same
I have noticed the same thing and my tinfoil hat theory Is that is has to do with the transcoding to Netflix.

The lighting is flat to begin with. They fricked up on set.
>I refuse the believe all these filmmakers are blind and incompetent
1st generation of purely digital film makers, never seen good lighting in person.
I think a lot of them use the RED models which in themselves pretty amazing but I think in the pursuit of capturing for HDR/RAW they just don't bother with lighting because they do color grading in post. The problem is that a lot of color graders seem to think "natural" tones are the best which really strips out warm elements and stylization.
When done right it works well like Mindhunter but yeah, for the majority of Netflix shit it seems like this highly digitized home video feel.
your theory is ass
it's color graders and lack of good lighting on set and general laziness within the filmmaking field
Netflix also tells them specifically which cameras and lenses they can and can't use. Even if a young gun wants to try something new they can't.
>no c**ty teenage girl upstaging Axel in the trailer
That's something at least. Maybe they're just hiding it from the trailers, but I'm open to torrenting this movie if I hear its decent
i bet the weird title is because the movie will introduce a legacy character and if it's a sucess we'll see BEVERLY HILLS COP: NOT-ALEX

Why the frick did they recast him as a Black person? Can't even have a good old 80s cop movie without white erasure.
What happened to JGL? He was borderline A-list at one point
He didn't realize he was a supporting actor and he wrote and directed movies where he is Casanova. And he a little gay.
He was going around giving people HIV and offering them$10k to settle
He's a pain in the ass to work with, a real hothead
They're back
>"Oh hai, mister Ack-well Foley! I have a clue to solve your case."
The only reason people like the first movie is the 80s charm.
it is a bunch of character actors being their characters at their peak.
It's that and the fact that it has great replay value. The street-wise cop going to an upscale city and trying to uncover a criminal is fun as frick.
HOLY SHIT THEY BROUGHT BACK THE GANG
All they need is Ronnie Cox
They should've brought him back
looks fun

It is not about continuity and growth its about bringing back a fun couple hours with some funny action some hot chicks and a little bit of a story.
People want to see 60+ year old men act as if they're 30 about as much as they want to see women pretend they're badass "action stars".
thats the correct take on it, its a shallow fun action filum with a beloved former comedy big timer
Serious answer: boomer producers are stuck in a perpetual midlife crisis. But this is just how boomers think, they actually believe their lifespans are like 130 years or something

Pretty much this
The original was a buddy cop series with plenty of comedic moments. It had the perfect blend of everything you listed.
i like the trailer music but trailers/marketing always get the tone of film wrong, unless its michael bay directed or something.
holy kino. i thought this would suck ass. heres hoping
It actually doesn't look bad, the only thing is it looks more serious than the other movies but maybe they're saving the jokes for the movie.
why do modern films look so shit?
