Beverly Hills Cop	comment	Beverly Hills Cop is a 1984 American buddy action comedy film directed by Martin Brest and starring Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a hip, street-smart detective in mid-1980s Detroit; as something of a loose cannon, he's not well respected by Da Chief, but the other guys on the force love him. One day, an old friend of his visits — then ends up killed by hitmen just outside Axel's apartment. Determined to find out what happened despite being warned away from the case, Axel takes vacation time and follows the killers' trail back to Beverly Hills, California.Hilarity Ensues as Axel adjusts to the more straight-laced world of Beverly Hills, using his comedic timing and unflappability to get himself out of some sticky situations. As he tries to build a case against the Mooks that killed his friend back in Detroit, he manages to talk his way into (and out of) the Beverly Hills jail, his hotel, a bonded warehouse, a country club, and more. Just when he's about to crack the case, the Big Bad Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) arrives and kidnaps his not-quite-love-interest, Jenny Summers (Lisa Eilbacher), forcing the Beverly Hills police detectives he's been trying to win over to come and help. The movie ends in a massive, scenery-chewing shootout at the villain's huge mansion, with the local detectives learning that sometimes bending the rules isn't so bad after all.The film that cemented Eddie Murphy as a megastar, it was followed by Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) and Beverly Hills Cop III (1994). After a long period of Development Hell, a fourth film, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, is currently being produced by Netflix.

Beverly Hills Cop / int_14d633ed	comment	If I Wanted You Dead...: Inspector Todd points out to Axel that Mikey was killed by professionals, and that they weren't worried about Axel. "If they were, you'd be lying beside him in that meat wagon." Justified â€” Axel was knocked out by the killers, who then put two bullets in Mikey's head. As Axel hadn't seen their faces (and they didn't know he was a policeman), they left him alone.

Beverly Hills Cop / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: Much of the plot depends on Victor Maitland being a moron. If he had just played dumb and told Axel that he had no idea who would want to kill his friend Mikey, that, yes, he uses bearer bonds in his business all the time, which is completely normal in the art world, and no, he has no idea why Mikey would have brought bearer bonds with him to Detroit, that would have been the end of the movie, as Axel at that point had no real basis of suspicion against him. Instead, he calls in a group of thugs to his office to have Axel literally thrown out of a window, at which point Axel is quite suspicious of Maitland. When Maitland catches Axel and Jenny in one of his warehouses, having discovered 80 kilos of cocaine, he could have had them killed on the spot. Instead, he takes Jenny hostage to his mansion, leaving Axel behind to get roughed up by his henchmen. That, of course, allowed Rosewood to rescue Axel, and for the two of them, with Taggart in tow, to go rescue Jenny. If Maitland had had any common sense, the movie would have been much shorter.

Beverly Hills Cop / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
Beverly Hills Cop / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: An interesting example, because, instead of ignoring Maitland's fourth amendment rights, Axel is actually needlessly sensitive to them. When he and Jenny go to search Maitland's warehouse for drugs, Billy asks why he can't come along; Axel explains that, because Billy is a cop in that jurisdiction, and they don't have probable cause, the judge would rule the search illegal and deem it inadmissible in court. Of course, realistically, any judge with a single digit IQ would also hold that Axel was acting as an agent of the Beverly Hills police, so that justification is unnecessary. The real reason they could legally search the warehouse is that Jenny is the manager of Maitland's gallery and has a key, given to her by Maitland himself, to the gallery's warehouse, where the incriminating crate is simply sitting on the floor. If the police are admitted to a place with the consent of a person who would normally have access, then they do not need a warrant if there's probable cause. If the manager of a business willingly permits the police to search said business, the police do not need a warrant.

Beverly Hills Cop / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Beverly Hills Cop / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: For a goofy, almost comedic cop movie, a lot of things end up having very real and unfun consequences: Axel's antics, like doing an unauthorized sting operation that lead to a destructive car chase around Detroit leaves him in hot water with his boss, Inspector Todd. His further antics in Beverly Hills nearly cost him his job until Bogomil talks to Todd. Axel's friend, Mikey, steals some German bearer bonds from his boss, thinking that he wouldn't notice a few missing; it's no surprise he ends up dead a couple scenes later, especially after it's revealed that his boss is a violent drug smuggler. After Mikey is killed, Axel argues with Inspector Todd about not being put on the investigation; Todd tells him exactly why he can't be a part of the case: Axel cons his way into Victor Maitland's office to ask him about what Mikey did for him, only for Victor to call his henchmen to throw Axel out of a window. Shortly after, cops arrive, but instead of arresting Victor, they arrest Axel because Victor told the police that Axel broke in, started being a nuisance, and threw himself out the window (which is true, except for the self defenestration) and because Axel was carrying a gun (cops can't carry their duty weapons outside their jurisdiction). Victor being a respectable businessman, while Axel is a scruffy, foul-mouthed out-of-towner who argues and swears at the police officers (Rosewood and Taggart) interrogating him only helps in digging himself deeper. When Taggart punches Axel in the stomach after he pushes the former's buttons one time too many, Taggart's boss, Lieutenant Bogomil, calls him over and makes him apologize for hitting Axel and asks Axel if he wants to press charges against Taggart. Thankfully for Taggart, Axel feels it's uncouth to sue a fellow cop, even though it's completely justified in this case. Considering that Axel's a minority, that the attack was unjustified, and during this time period, police relations with the public had been a tad rocky, it makes sense why Bogomil would try to play peacemaker. After getting distracted repeatedly, getting their car sabotaged by Axel, with bananas, losing track of him more than once, and willingly accompanying him to a strip club, all while on-duty, Rosewood and Taggart are relieved of their duty. Bogomil then replaces them with their stuck-up rivals, McCabe and Foster, who end up being no better at tailing Axel than Rosewood and Taggart. Axel finally lets Bogomil, Rosewood, and Taggart in on why he's investigating Victor Maitland and reveals that he's found evidence of Maitland being a drug smuggler. Bogomil believes him, but because Axel's out of his jurisdiction, all his evidence is circumstantial. Not only that, but thanks to all of Axel's off-the-book, Cowboy Cop antics, including damaging a police car with bananas, wrecking a private event, and playing pranks on four different police officers, Chief Hubbard demands that Axel is to be escorted outside the city limits, or he'll be arrested for all his crimes against the Beverly Hills Police Department. Thankfully, it doesn't stick as Taggart, Rosewood, and Foley go after Maitland on their own, especially after he's kidnapped Jenny. Speaking of the banana sabotage, Axel has to use multiple bananas to make it stick, and there aren't any Pinto moments in the aftermath thereof. Of course, Axel being Axel, he probably thought to use more than one banana from the word "go".

Beverly Hills Cop / int_40bb59d0	comment	Blatant Lies: Bogomil's cover story at the end about Axel being part of a multijurisdictional task force on organized crime is so obviously made up on the spot that the police chief is on the verge of cracking up over it, but he lets it pass, given the incredible nature of the bust they've just pulled off. Maitland has his goons throw Foley through a window, and claims Foley threw himself out. The police buy Maitland's story since he's perceived to be much more credible than Axel. After the banana-in-the-tail-pipe incident, Axel drags Taggart and Rosewood to a strip club when he knows both officers are on-duty. They happen to foil a robbery while they're there (Axel does a good chunk of the work), and all three are dragged back to the station to explain to Bogomil why they were there. Axel tries to cover for them by claiming that they simply followed him to the strip club and apprehended the would-be robbers on their own, and calls them "super-cops"; Taggart denies this, and ends up telling the truth instead. Axel Lampshades this by stating that his "super-cop story" was actually working before they "fucked it up", earning a Blink and You'll Miss It smile from Bogomil.note The "truthful" story contains a small lie in itself, with his claim that "before we knew what was going on", Foley had disarmed one of the robbers and so deserves full credit. In reality, Axel tipped off Taggart beforehand and it was a near-simultaneous arrest, meaning that Taggart is giving Foley a little extra credit with Bogomil at the expense of his own reputation.

Beverly Hills Cop / int_50b05d30	comment	When Taggart punches Axel in the stomach after he pushes the former's buttons one time too many, Taggart's boss, Lieutenant Bogomil, calls him over and makes him apologize for hitting Axel and asks Axel if he wants to press charges against Taggart. Thankfully for Taggart, Axel feels it's uncouth to sue a fellow cop, even though it's completely justified in this case. Considering that Axel's a minority, that the attack was unjustified, and during this time period, police relations with the public had been a tad rocky, it makes sense why Bogomil would try to play peacemaker.

Shortly after, cops arrive, but instead of arresting Victor, they arrest Axel because Victor told the police that Axel broke in, started being a nuisance, and threw himself out the window (which is true, except for the self defenestration) and because Axel was carrying a gun (cops can't carry their duty weapons outside their jurisdiction). Victor being a respectable businessman, while Axel is a scruffy, foul-mouthed out-of-towner who argues and swears at the police officers (Rosewood and Taggart) interrogating him only helps in digging himself deeper. When Taggart punches Axel in the stomach after he pushes the former's buttons one time too many, Taggart's boss, Lieutenant Bogomil, calls him over and makes him apologize for hitting Axel and asks Axel if he wants to press charges against Taggart. Thankfully for Taggart, Axel feels it's uncouth to sue a fellow cop, even though it's completely justified in this case. Considering that Axel's a minority, that the attack was unjustified, and during this time period, police relations with the public had been a tad rocky, it makes sense why Bogomil would try to play peacemaker.

Later, he overhears that Axel and two of his officers are Storming the Castle without authorization. Instead of getting angry, he assumes they have a good reason and responds by sending half of the Beverly Hills Police department to back them up, while arming himself to personally join the gunfight. He also reprimands Taggart for assaulting Foley and even offers Foley the chance to file charges against him. This is particularly justified since assaulting anyone during questioning is a legal and PR nightmare for any police precinct. Also Inspector Todd, who, although infuriated with Axel's flagrant disregard for police procedure and the entire Lucky Strike fiasco, understands that Axel does what he does because he cares about being a good cop but just has to learn the patience to play by the rules.
