Dec 16

Netflix is bringing Eddie Murphy, aka Axel Foley, back to the mean streets of Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. The trailer dropped yesterday, giving all the 80s/90s nostalgic vibes, with Biggie Smalls’ “Going Back to Cali” playing in the background as the icing on the cake. Murphy’s castmates include Kevin Bacon as Captain Grant, Judge Reinhold as Billy Rosewood, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Detective Bobby Abbott, Paul Reiser as Jeffrey Friedman, John Ashton as John Taggart, Patricia Belcher as Judge Angelic, and Taylour Paige as Jane, to name a few.

The Plot Synopsis per Netflix reads that Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter’s life is threatened, she (Taylour Paige) and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy. The trailer suggests Foley hasn’t changed a bit in his time away, and Eddie Murphy delivers him without missing a step. Foley is arrested twice but breaks out both times. Explosions, gunfights, cars crashing and falling from the rooftops, and Axel “pissing people off at a rate of 50/50” offers the perfect Summer 2024 action comedy for fans of the original franchise as well as a younger generation of viewers. Check out the trailer below!
