Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)
Beverly Hills Cop III is the third instalment in the franchise, released in 1994 and directed by John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Trading Places, An American Werewolf in London). Eddie Murphy returns as Axel Foley, the fast-talking Detroit detective who finds himself back in Beverly Hills investigating a counterfeiting operation run out of Wonderworld, a vast theme park. Judge Reinhold returns as Billy Rosewood, and Héctor Elizondo joins the cast as the park's head of security. The film is generally regarded as the weakest of the trilogy — the theme park setting lacks the fish-out-of-water energy of the original, and Landis and Murphy were reportedly at odds throughout production. That said, Murphy's charisma is undimmed, the film has its moments, and for fans of the franchise and collectors of 90s action comedy it remains an essential piece of the Axel Foley story. A solid Blu-ray copy at a fair price.
Highlights
- Eddie Murphy's charisma — Whatever the film's shortcomings, Murphy's energy and comic timing are as sharp as ever; Axel Foley remains one of cinema's great comic creations and Murphy inhabits the role with complete ease.
- John Landis's direction — Landis brings real craft to the action sequences and the Wonderworld setting provides some visually inventive moments; the theme park backdrop, while divisive, gives the film a distinctive visual identity.
- The Wonderworld set pieces — The film's action sequences make inventive use of the theme park environment; the rides, crowds and backstage areas provide a series of chase and confrontation scenes that are efficiently staged.
- Judge Reinhold as Billy Rosewood — Reinhold's return as the enthusiastic, slightly hapless Rosewood provides the film's warmest comic dynamic; his scenes with Murphy retain the easy chemistry of the earlier films.
- The franchise context — As the third chapter in one of the defining action comedy franchises of the 1980s and 90s, Beverly Hills Cop III is an essential part of the Axel Foley story; completists and franchise fans will find it a worthwhile and entertaining addition to the collection.
