Movie #3271 "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley" (Netflix) What fun this was to watch! Better than the third one, for sure, and it got me from the get go when Axel is , of course, escaping from the bad guys using a snow plow --- I had never seen a chase using that form of transportation. In less than 10 minutes his daughter finds herself in trouble when her car is overhanging one of those 4- story parking decs --- I never saw that in a film either! The story was fairly easy to follow, Axel dons quite a few personas (as usual) while working with his daughter (she's a plus -- a lawyer who is defending a "cop killer") and a new partner , her exboyfriend Joseph Gordon Levitt -- playing Bobby. Of course, Beverly Hills still has Billy Rosewood and Chief Taggart working there, but now there's a new head honcho played very well by Kevin Bacon. By the end of the film two more chase scenes include one in a helicopter and another in one of those parking cop's small vehicles and a golf cart. I heard in an interview from Murphy that his real daughter plays the cop that arrests him and puts cuffs on him --- so look for her if you are watching the film., which I highly recommend because it was very entertaining and funny! 4.5 out of 5.
