Eddie
Murphy
rose
to
stardom
as
Axel
Foley,
a
streetwise
and
brash
young
Detroit
cop
in
this
comic
blockbuster
that
combined
frenetic
action,
hysterical
rough-edged
comedy,
and
a
chart-topping
rock
&
roll
soundtrack.
When
his
best
friend
is
murdered,
Axel
heads
off
to
Beverly
Hills
in
an
effort
to
track
down
the
killer.
The
resulting
culture
shock
is
only
one
of
his
difficulties:
Often
operating
just
outside
the
law
in
his
determination
to
capture
the
murderer,
he
finds
himself
repeatedly
clashing
with
the
local
authorities
as
well
as
his
supervisor
back
home.
With
the
help
of
Beverly
Hills
detective
Billy
Rosewood
(Judge
Reinhold)
and
his
partner,
Sergeant
Taggart
(John
Ashton),
Axel
is
able
to
track
down
the
killer,
who
turns
out
to
be
Victor
Maitland
(Steven
Berkoff),
a
wealthy,
powerful,
and
respected
member
of
the
California
community.
It
is
up
to
Axel
to
outsmart
the
evil
British
criminal,
who
is
protected
inside
his
fortresslike
mansion.
Featuring
hysterical
supporting
performances
from
Bronson
Pinchot
as
Serge--an
effeminate,
thickly
accented
art
gallery
clerk--and
comedian
Damon
Wayans,
among
others,
the
film
is
one
of
the
funniest
comedies
of
the
1980s.
