Beverly Hills Cop: A Ranking of the Movies From Worst to Best

Date:

Hello all you movie buffs out there! Are you ready to dive into the Beverly Hills Cop franchise? You are in luck, as the fourth and latest installment in the series, Axel F, is now available on Netflix. But before you rush off to stream, let’s take a walk down memory lane and rank the movies from worst to best.

Key Takeaways

– Beverly Hills Cop III (1994) is considered the weakest of the franchise.
– The latest movie, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024), has scored positive reviews for its nostalgic feel.
– Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) is appreciated for its polished, action-driven narrative.
– Beverly Hills Cop (1984), the original film, remains unbeatable and iconic.

Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)

The third installment of Beverly Hills Cop takes the bottom spot. This movie messed up. Big time. Eddie Murphy’s comedy got lost while they tried to turn him into a traditional action hero. Did you know they even set the movie at a knockoff Disneyland with mascots and show tunes? Yep, it totally didn’t work. But don’t get us wrong; it wasn’t entirely bad. Its first ten minutes and thrilling car chase is actually quite cool! Too bad it went downhill from there.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)

Fast forward to our time. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F arrived as a heart-warming sequel to our old favorites. Sure, recapturing the magic of the first two movies was a tough task. Murphy’s career exploded after the first two movies, making him a superstar. So imagine the challenge of recreating that vibe! The movie did a good job, allowing Eddie Murphy to do what he does best and bringing back our favorite characters like Judge Reinhold.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)

No one expected the party to continue after the first movie, but Beverly Hills Cop II didn’t disappoint. Everything was glammed up – the action, the style, the set-pieces. Some critics even complained about too much polish! But the visuals and the score by Harold Faltermeyer have given it a solid cult following over the years.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Nothing beats the classic, right? The original Beverly Hills Cop tops our list. Initially planned as a Sylvester Stallone-action vehicle, the script took a comedic turn when Eddie Murphy became the lead and made the movie nothing less than iconic. Completing the brilliance of the film is its legendary soundtrack featuring Harold Faltermeyer’s iconic theme, “Axel F.”
