I have to say that Beverly Hills Cop is one of my favourite trilogies, possibly soon to be a quadrilogy. This DVD box set is well worth every penny you pay. If you've enjoyed any of these films I highly suggest you purchase this.
For anyone in the dark on these movies, summed up they're about a streetwise young Detroit police cop named Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) getting mixed up in cases which lead him to Beverly Hills. In 1 and 2 he meets up with the brilliant characters Det. William 'Billy' Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and Det. Sgt. John Taggart (John Ashton). In these films the laughs aren't only when Eddie is in the scene. There are some particularly brilliant scenes; I wouldn't want to spoil for you, between Rosewood and Taggart.
Highlights of these movies for me and I suspect many other people are Eddie's unique laugh, Serge's hysterical banter with Axel and the phenomenal chart-topping soundtrack It also has some of the most exciting movie stunts one particularly memorable moment is when Axel is jumping around a variation of a Ferris wheel featuring dangling oversize birdcages.
Many scenes of the movies are improvised as the cast, directors, writers and producers will confirm in interviews included in the special features (includes interviews with Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold and John Ashton).
This is definitely the best set of movies Eddie Murphy has ever done and with constant action mixed with humour, not to mention a few special guest stars; it's got something for everyone.

I can't really write anything about the movies people haven't allready said. The first movie is a great 80s icon, with the right music, the right young star, the right humour and the formula. Adding to the things we allready saw in 48 hours. The second movie is a great variation of the first, more expensive and a fine example of Tony Scotts directing. The third movie is a contrived unpleasant affair, trying to live on the merrits of the previous, made into a "lets not offend anyone" Disney type affair with a star who can't do anything right at the time.
But those first two movies are the stuff of legend, and when you combine the two with the fine DVD transfer, the handy little box and an amazing price, well, then you have the recepie for a 5 star purchase.
