Eddie Murphy - already famous, but on the cusp of international stardom with this role - is tough-talking Detroit cop Axel Foley in this hit '80s action comedy. Foley heads to posh, racist Beverly Hills in his beat-up Chevy Nova to investigate a friend's murder. Soon he realises he's stumbled onto something much more complicated. Judge Reinhold is bungling rookie Billy, who joins the fish-out-of-water caper to help Foley.

"Expectations that Murphy's street brand of rebelliousness would devastate staid and glittery Beverly Hills are not entirely met in a film that grows increasingly dramatic."

Variety

"Mr. Murphy knows exactly what he's doing, and he wins at every turn."

—

The New York Times

"Murphy looks like the latest victim of the Star Magic Syndrome, in which it is assumed that a movie will be a hit simply because it stars an enormously talented person."
