Has this been discussed? BHC was an abomination. His last two endeavors of Coming 2 America and the Jonah hill thing were terrible. What you think?

Edit for I meant to say BHC3. Loved BHC!

Beverly Hills Cop was an abomination? Maybe you meant the third one?

I love BHC.

I remember seeing some thing on the making of BHC3 where Eddie declared he wanted to be an action star and not a comedian anymore and all the people involved with making BHC3 were caught totally unaware. I think maybe he even refused to do a lot of the "funny" lines?

The third one looks like something an actor would appear in to pay off IRS back taxes.

Why would they skip straight from Beverly Hills Cop 2 straight to 4? Weird.

I know Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer were not over or apart of BHC 3. Also Murphy wasn't a fan of the new producer, director and script. So he says he basically went through the motions to get the 15 million payday.

BHC 3 was a sh*tshow from beginning to end. Even if Eddie had been on point, I don't think there was any saving this piece of ridiculous garbage.
Check this "chase" scene.... B movie quality all the way.

I did have a thread on it last year when it was announced, but not a ton of traffic.

BHC 3 was on the on the other night and watched a few min. at about the 1/3 mark... I then realized I never saw it when first released. Then realized: There was a BHC III?

The movie has a George Lucas cameo and Cylons. What more do you people want?

John Landis also directed Coming to America and Trading Places. Also did Blues Brothers, Animal House, Three Amigos and American Werewolf in London . Hard to believe BHC 3 was as bad as it was considering his resume.

I remember being 13/14 and watching BHC3 on HBO with great pleasure. Was really the only one where I was of age in the general vicinity of its release, so it holds a special place in my heart.

That Dodge Stealth/Mitsu 3000 could take a pounding. How many rounds did that thing take to the engine bay?

What was worse is that I'm pretty sure the trailer even spoiled that "somebody close to Axl" would die early.

It was just a trainwreck of a film.

This, I had no idea and don't think I've ever seen a minute of it.

EDIT: Now that I've read the Wiki page, I have seen it and I recall it was in fact terrible.

Actual quote from Eddie Murphy in 1989 about the possibility of a third BHC.

Asked in 1989 about a third installment, Murphy stated: "There's no reason to do it. I don't need the money and it's not gonna break any new ground. How often can you have Axel Foley talk fast and get into a place he doesn't belong? But these mother****ers are developing scripts for it. They're in pre-production. The only reason to do a Cop III is to beat the bank, and Paramount ain't gonna write me no check as big as I want to do something like that. In fact, if I do a Cop III, you can safely say, 'Ooh, he must have got a lot of money!

In fact, if I do a Cop III, you can safely say, 'Ooh, he must have got a lot of money!
Then theres this:

In an interview in 1994, Eddie Murphy said that Beverly Hills Cop III is "different from the trilogy's first installment because Axel is more mature and no longer the wisecracking rookie cop." During that same year, Murphy said he thought Beverly Hills Cop III was "infinitely better than Beverly Hills Cop II."
About the experience on making the movie, John Landis said:
Quote:
"Cop 3 was a very strange experience. The script wasn't any good, but I figured, "So what? I'll make it funny with Eddie". But then I discovered on the first day when I started giving Eddie some shtick, he said, "You know, John… Axel Foley is an adult now. He's not a wiseass anymore". So, with Beverly Hills Cop 3, I had this strange experience where he was very professional, but he just wasn't funny. I would try to put him in funny situations, and he would find a way to step around them. It's an odd movie. There are things in it I like, but it's an odd movie."
In an interview with The A.V. Club in 2009, Bronson Pinchot claimed that Eddie Murphy "was really depressed" at the time Beverly Hills Cop III was being filmed, claiming that Murphy was low-spirited and had a low energy level.
