Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)

Beverly Hills Cop III

Go ahead, admit it. You’d like to wear one just to see what it is like. No? OK, I will. I’d love to try on of those fuzzy cartoon animal suits you see in theme parks. Okey-Dokey, a blue elephant, is the choice of Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) as he goes after the bad guys. But then the scene of the four other animals, playing poker and chewing stogies makes me uneasy.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Beverly Hills Cop

I’ve met a number of characters in my day. Some have been enchanting, some have been rude and some have been creepy. Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is looking for his old friend Jenny Summers (Lisa Eilbacher) at a gallery where she works when he runs into Serge (Bronson Pinchot). With a dubious accent and a proclivity for anything in pants, Serge tries to persuade Axel that she is too busy. Persistence pays off so Serge fondle another assistant asking him to bring Jenny along to see Axel.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)

Beverly Hills Cop II

Six foot tall women are rare. There should be more of them. But they do fascinate all men in one way or another. Karla Fry (Brigitte Nielsen) is leaning over a shooting shelf at the Beverly Hills Gun Club emptying a clip or two when Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) wonders aloud about the length of time it would take to shave her legs. She’s not impressed and asks if this is him being charming. But Axel, ever the coolest guy in town, replies that he is just offering his grooming services.
