After 1984's Beverly Hills Cop solidified Eddie Murphy's superstar status, a sequel seemed inevitable. And although Beverly Hills Cop 2 perhaps lacks the cultural significance of its predecessor, it does bring a ton of fun additions to the franchise, particularly as director Tony Scott's follow-up to the previous year's highest-grossing movie, none other than Top Gun.
On this episode, Lauren Knight of That Movie Is Fine joins the show to discuss how Beverly Hills Cop 2 doubles down on Murphy's specific comedic sensibility. We also weigh in on what this franchise would have looked like had original choice Sylvester Stallone taken the role and how Beverly Hills Cop 2 plays like Murphy's take on James Bond.
