Beverly Hills Cop

Delivering a performance that cemented his status as a movie superstar, Eddie Murphy plays Axel Foley, a fast-talking, quick-thinking Detroit street cop who’s bent more than his share of rules and regulations. When his best friend is murdered, Foley heads to sunny Beverly Hills to work the case like only he can. “Beverly Hills Cop finds Eddie Murphy doing what he does best: playing the shrewdest, hippest, fastest-talking underdog in a rich man's world,” The New York Times proclaimed of the blockbuster hit, whose pumped-up soundtrack won a Grammy and spawned three Top 10 hits: Harold Faltermeyer’s instrumental “Axel F,” Glenn Frey’s “The Heat Is On,” and the Pointer Sisters’ “Neutron Dance.”
