Beverly Hills Cop II made in 1987 see's the return of Detroit cop Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) who after an armed robbery on a jewellery establishment and a letter left at the scene investigates the so called Alphabet crimes. After Beverly HillsBeverly Hills Cop II made in 1987 see's the return of Detroit cop Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) who after an armed robbery on a jewellery establishment and a letter left at the scene investigates the so called Alphabet crimes. After Beverly Hills police departments Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) gets gunned down in broad daylight Axel Foley (Murphy) teams up once again with cops Billy Rosewood and Taggart played by Judge Reinhold and John Ashton.... Slightly inferior sequel but good scenes especially the gunclub scenes and the nudity dancing scenes, the horse racing scenes were silly and the action scenes were done well... Full of explosions, chases, shootouts, nudity and comedy and fairly decent acting I'd say Beverly Hills Cop II is okay but nowhere near as good as the original.… Expand

This holds up well in 2020.… Expand

This sequel does have it's moments but falls along behind it's predecessor.
It's still all about Ediie Murphy but he has a lot to do in working with such a limited screenplay.
