Didn't they film like an entire TV movie that involved Axel's son, but Eddie Murphy still appeared in it, and it was so bad that they shelved it?

 

[ManaByte]

Lethal Finale directed by Mel Gibson straight to Max is supposed to be happening still.

Written by Richard Donner and they were going to film it in 2021 but then Donner died.

It's apparently them dealing with Butters' kid who's now grown up and a cop.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

This trailer looks as bad as for the third movie. Does not feel the comedy and why it is so dark?

 

[Shadowplay1979]

The rest of humanities existence will just be reliving everything that happened up until around 1994 when all creativity in entertainment and culture peaked.......is how it seems for the last twenty years

 

[AJUMP23]

new trailer.

Great to see Judge Reinhold back in the game.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Here take these bananas...

 

[DeafTourette]

I'm ready!

Nice. Ill rewatch the old ones before this.

 

[FunkMiller]

That... actually doesn't look too bad.

[Billbofet]

For some reason, this looks really good to me.

 

[Ristifer]

I'll watch it.

 

[Soodanim]

Looks fun, I'll give it a watch.

 

[jason10mm]

I'm on the fence if I should watch BHC 1&2 first and potentially ruin this flick by having a fresh comparison or just watch it and then go back and relive Eddie's glory days.

Watch that first and then back to 1&2

As a kid I tried that for real. It didn't work.

Doesn't look like a made-for-Netflix movie.

They have to be gifted by a Wayans or it doesn't work

Can’t be as bad as Coming to America 2.

 

[ManaByte]

Eddie was still rusty in that one coming off years of stage fright.

He seems much more like himself in this trailer.

"Hold my bannana"

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Idk, I haven't liked any of Eddie's movies since he returned to acting. Coming 2 America in particular was just awful.

I heard that the Dolemite movie was decent but I tried watching it and couldn't get into it because he didn't even TRY to sound like Rudy Ray Moore.

Dolemite is a banger.

I get you, but in the end it wouldn’t have worked doing an entire movie mimicking someone else’s voice.

 

[nush]

Dolemite is a banger.

and the original.

I really enjoyed that film. To anyone who hasn’t seen it. It’s. Worth checking out. It’s a Netflix film.

 

[Robot Carnival]

I'm down to watch it. it'll most likely not able to live up to the first 2 but it looks at least fun enough to warrant a chance.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

More washed up olds making shit twenty years too late. No thanks.

 

[Power Pro]

It looks like a lot of nostalgia bait, but it also looks good enough to give a watch. I'm excited to see how it turns out. Murphy really dipping into that fountain of youth lol

 

[Uhtred]

Netflix is getting quite the reputation for churning out shit movies.

 

[poppabk]

Not a single joke in that trailer.
Did they forget that Beverly Hills Cop is supposed to be a comedy?
Either they are saving all the jokes for the movie, or it's so baren, they can't use anything.

It's not supposed to be a comedy?

 

[-BLITZ-]

new trailer.

Honestly, it looks better than bad boys 4. It seems better directed, taken more seriously. Joseph Gordon-Levitt in it, is a bonus. Glad I have Netflix.

 

[Blackage]

30 years since Beverly Hills Cop 3, geez. Expectations aren't exactly high but maybe it'll surprise us!

 

[jason10mm]

So I just fired up BHC in prep for BHC4 and GODDAMN if the first 5 minutes doesn't have a car chase with more REAL CAR DESTRUCTION, thrills, excitement, and "how the hell did they film this on a real world street?" action than damn near ANY film in the past 15 years.

And WOW, everyone is so thin

 

[jason10mm]

Damn, this film is a treasure. I had forgotten how economical older films tend to be. In one conversation between Axel and his criminal friend Mikey we get enough backstory of Axel's troubled youth, the depth of their friendship and why Axel avenges him, Mikey as a reckless character, and the entire set up. for the film. We don't need 5 flashbacks and 7 long dialogue scenes when every word counts.

And the soundtrack........wow. S tier.

 

[jason10mm]

And that MOST 80's staple, the totally random scene in a strip club

I'm pretty sure there is a strip club scene in EVERY SINGLE 80's cop action film. Maybe Die Hard was the exception? Did Lethal Weapon have one?

I think it has been 20 years since I've seen a strip club scene in a film...it's like coming home to watch one now

Did they actually show boobs? That's incredibly rare for a Netflix joint.

 

[CityHunter1981]

Love the old movies, but have zero hopes for this. It’s coming to America all over again. Was really looking forward to coming 2 America and that movie was just such a disappointment…

OG BHC has some. BHC4 isn't out till the 4th I think.

My mistake. I thought you were sharing your thoughts on the new one. I misinterpreted what you were saying. I thought it was out already.

No worries. See yah in a week when 4 drops.

 

[DeafTourette]

Just saw it. it came out yesterday.

Good action beats and good dialogue, IMO. Axel is a dad! Brought back characters and intro'd new ones pretty well. His daughter is hot! The real estate agent is too ... Just older. Nice side profile, if you get my drift (she's packing back there).

Not as good as the first but just below the second.

 

[clarky]

Save my time gaf, this worth watching or not?

 

[clarky]

Not as good as the first but just below the second.

So not as good as 1 or 2 but better than the terrible 3rd is what you're saying?

 

[DeafTourette]

So not as good as 1 or 2 but better than the terrible 3rd is what you're saying?

Yep! WAY better IMO. For whatever that's worth.

 

[clarky]

Yep! WAY better IMO. For whatever that's worth.

Still not sure if you think its good or not. Way better than 3 could be still pony.

Going in myself wish me luck.

Edit: 5 mins in at least it has room to improve.

Edit 2 : Nope Billy looks like he's had a stroke, this is as bad as youd expect. Its going off.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Was better then expected.

I enjoyed it. I thought it was very good.

Billy is in his 70s. So is Taggart. Axel is in his 60s. But Eddie has kept in shape for age. Keep going.

I just can't. Glad anyone can get enjoyment out of this shit but im done with passing my time with 5/10 drivel.

BHC 1&2 might be showing their age but they were class at the time, this is trash.
