Beverly Hills Cop II | comment |
The first sequel to Beverly Hills Cop, released in 1987.Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back, this time prompted to return to Beverly Hills after Captain Bogomil (Ronny Cox) is gunned down in cold blood as part of a serial crime rampage. Naturally, the local police chief, Lutz (Allen Garfield), wants nothing to do with him, so he invents an elaborate cover story, first as a psychic and then later as part of a mythical intercity task force on organized crime. He's up against the "Alphabet Bandit", a man who pulls off daring crimes in broad daylight and leaves behind only a cryptic clue in the form of a coded note. With the aid of Taggart (John Ashton) and the newly badass Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), he traces the bad guys all over the city, including a car chase involving a cement mixer, the Playboy Mansion, and finally a shootout at an international arms smuggling depot. The film features Jürgen Prochnow as Big Bad Maxwell Dent, Brigitte Nielsen as Karla Fry, The Dragon and Dean Stockwell as Charles “Chip� Caine. | |

Artistic License – Gun Safety: While investigating the gun club, Axel pulls his own gun at the Cinematic firing range, where everyone is practicing with blanks, and fires three live rounds at the screens, eliciting some confused looks. Additionally, he doesn't wear hearing protection while everyone else does. | |

Calling Card | |
Beverly Hills Cop II / int_1cd602ef | comment |
Calling Card: The so-called Alphabet Bandit leaves behind cryptic clues that leave the cops scrambling to decode them. In fact, the code was there to confuse the cops while the culprits were busy doing something else. The code from the "E" crime turns out to be a lot easier to break than the others and deliberately so in order to paint Cain as The Scapegoat. | |

Bumbling Sidekick: Chief Lutz has one who hasn't the slightest idea what's going on.

Axel notes that the guy couldn't catch the Alphabet Bandit if he nuked the city. | |

Truth in Television: At one point, Axel uses superglue fumes to get a fingerprint from a matchbook. Using superglue fumes to detect otherwise invisible trace fingerprints is something that has been done in real life forensics investigations. Using cut down .308 Winchester cases to make .44 Automag cartridges. This is a real reloading technique used to handload the increasingly rare cartridge, and was how the round was developed. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Chief Lutz is verbally abusive to everyone, including his own assistant, and he refuses to listen to his own officers about the Alphabet Crimes (that it's a cover up for gunrunning scheme). After Taggart, Rosewood, and Foley stop the bad guys and gather a shitload of evidence in the form of literal truckloads of illegal guns and Lutz starts being a dick to them, the Mayor gets fed up with Lutz's jerkass behavior to his own men and his obvious incompetence and fires him (and his aid for some reason), even a delighted Foley swears to get even with Lutz for his horrible behavior. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Charles Cain is killed by Karla during the horse track heist and one guard takes credit for the assassination by saying he shot Cain as he tried to get away. This, and the fact the letters the "Alphabet Thief" leaves behind taunting the cops are signed "Carlos" (Spanish for "Charles") and a visa to go to Costa Rica was filed to Cain's name shortly before the heist means that Dent was able to frame Cain as the Alphabet Crimes mastermind... at least until the aftermath of the final battle, that is. | |

It turns out that Dent is broke and the entire Alphabet Bandit crime spree is part of a larger insurance scam mixed with some arms dealing. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Billy was inspired by Axel after the first film to become a gun nut. He's still not all that effective at being a badass, but at least he tries. | |

Overly-Nervous Flop Sweat: Invoked by Axel Foley when he's pretending to deliver "sound seeking projectiles" to try to bluff his way into a gun club run by the Big Bad. He splashes water on his face making it look like he's sweating buckets. | |

Da Chief | |
Beverly Hills Cop II / int_a4be7043 | comment |
Da Chief: The incompetent and verbally abusive Chief Harold Lutz. The first film's Chief, Inspector Todd, makes a few appearances here: at the start of the film, he confronts Axel about his use of department funds for suits, "flash money" and even a Ferrari (though Axel claims it's so he can remain undercover). Later, he's duped into playing a role in Axel's cover story about being part of a Detroit-Beverly Hills joint task force. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Dent's goons are unable to hit the heroes despite shooting at them on full auto at a range of less than 100 feet. Nor do they appear to have any grasp of tactics, such as suppression and flanking. Nor do they get the idea to pick up any of the heavy weapons that are close to hand. | |

Rage Breaking Point: After being insulted by Lutz one time too many at the film's resolution, Rosewood finally loses it and rants what Dent's scheme was really about (Insurance Fraud, followed by using the money to finance gun-running), and insults Lutz to boot. Even more unfortunately for Lutz, the Mayor of Beverly Hills happens to be right there with them, and he gets angry at Lutz's incompetence and abusive attitude. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: Bogomil and Axel appear to have become quite good friends since the last movie; getting him out of the way is necessary both to motivate Axel and so that Lutz can come in and portray the Jerkass boss. The Mayor of Beverly Hills also seems like a nice, reasonable guy. He fires Lutz because of his mistreatment of his subordinates (not to mention his bungling of the Alphabet Case). | |
