Amazon.co.uk Review
While its sequels were formulaic and safe, the first Beverly Hills Cop set out to explore some uncharted territory and succeeded. A blend of violent action picture and sharp comedy, the film has an excellent director, Martin Brest (Scent of a Woman), who finds some original perspectives on stock scenes (highway chases, police rousts) and hits a gleeful note with Murphy while skewering LA culture. Good support from Judge Reinhold and John Ashton as local cops not used to doing things the Detroit way (Murphy's character hails from the Motor City). Paul Reiser has a funny, brief moment at the beginning and Bronson Pinchot makes an hilarious impression in a great, never-to-be-duplicated scene with the star. --Tom Keogh

A True Classic on DVD, 11 Dec 2002

By	N. Williams "captaineo7" (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews

If you haven't seen Beverly Hills Cop you HAVE to watch it. If, like me, you've always loved the film and seen it plenty of times, make sure you get this DVD. I genuinely forgot quite how good a film this is and laughed harder than I have at a new movie for ages. The extra's are slightly dissapointing compared to some of the double-disc sets available for classic films now but I was happily surprised at quite how long the Cast & Crew Interviews are. The good thing is as well is that all the main characters & crew are interviewed and there's some really interesting information about how another massive 80's action-hero very nearly played Axel Foley !

I loved watching this film again - It's a true joy to experience and if you enjoy action films or comedies then you really should have this in your DVD Movie Collection

Fresh & funny even after 18 years..., 22 Nov 2002

By	Borjan Komarica "bk25" (Zagreb, Croatia) - See all my reviews

Remember when Jerry Bruckenheimer produced quality movies? Remember his partner Don Simpson? Remember Eddie Murphy back when he was fresh and funny? Remember the Axel F. theme? Remember when Martin Brest did comedies?

Everything you remember is here on this DVD! Don't bother with the sequels or "trilogy" box. This is the one that got started the formula of "wise-cracking" cops (apart from hysterical one-liners-through-squeeezed-teeth by Dirty Harry, who was well ahead of the times) genre that bolstered Die Hard and Lethal Weapon movies. It's a perfect example of "fish-out-of-water" comedy combined with "buddy movie" genre.

Plot in a sentence or two: resolved to find his best friends murderer, Detroit cop Axel Foley follows the trail to L.A. where his "methods" drive baddies and his Beverly Hills "coleagues" crazy.

Enhanced remastered SOUND is excellent, even better than what you saw at the theater all those years ago.

DVD itself: rather entertaining, although "not-so-special" features have mostly CAST & CREW INTERVIEWS, divided in 3 parts (INTERVIEWS, CASTING and MUSIC). It's fun to see how people look and remiscent on those days about 15 years later. Also, there's DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY and THEATRICAL TRAILER. Pretty standard stuff, as I said.

Why they didn't include outttakes (they all talk how they "burned" a lot of film by laughing in the middle of shooting) or alternate scenes (there were a lot of improvisations on set, as they say) is beyond my comprehension.

Anyway... Buy this and you won't regret it! It's money well spent! You'll laugh yourself to tears, I guarantee it.

Favourite line: "Can you put it in a good spot? All this s**t happened the last time I parked here..."

Birth of a genre, 4 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Beverly Hills Cop [1985] (VHS Tape)

This film defined the action/comedy genre for a decade and cemented Murphy's position as the most bankable African-American actor of the eighties.

Watch it now and, though parts will seem dated, you will recognize set pieces that have been used in a thousand films since - and I defy you not to laugh at least once at Murphy at the peak of his powers.
