Beverly Hills Cop

Beverly Hills Cop

1984

In the fish-out-of-water role that made him a megastar, Eddie Murphy plays Axel Foley, a tough-talking Detroit cop who heads to the rarified world of Beverly Hills to investigate a friend's murder. Judge Reinhold is a bungling rookie cop who shows Axel the West Los Angeles ropes in this action comedy that spawned two uproarious sequels.

In Detroit a cop learns to take the heat. In L.A. he learns to keep his cool. [Theatrical Australia]
