- Crazy creditsThe first film of the Beverly Hills Cop series featuring Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films logo. The first two films of the series, which were produced by Simpson and Bruckheimer, had no logo featured yet before its debut in Days of Thunder (1990). Like Top Gun: Maverick (2022) and Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024), the Simpson/Bruckheimer logo was remastered via CGI.

Eddie Murphy looks like he aged the least even though he's in his 60s now. The film itself is almost a tribute to the previous installments being very similar. You don't see films quite like this unless it is in the b-movie genre. Racing down a city street with abandon, destroying cars and property, no regard to by-standers. With guns fights galore and only the bad guys can miss. And no emotional repercussions for the good guys killing bad guys with abandon. If you want to relive an 1980's action film, this encapsulates it well.
Having seen the original in the movie theater this was like a time machine. I think the only thing that was really off putting was Eddie Murphy's character continual insinuation that his daughter had a sexual relationship with another character. This might have been funny back in the 80s but just doesn't work in this day and age.
Otherwise, welcome to the time machine.
