Beverly Hills Cop (1984) - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

WARNING: SPOILERS. HAPPENING. BELOW. DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Hills_Cop

So I've seen BHC a few times, but I probably haven't seen it in at least 10 years. This thread recently inspired me to watch it again: https://www.sectual.com/thread-4486.html

Just so you know, I'm watching this whilst eating cold pizza and drinking lemon-lime Gatorade.

1:00 ah, that '80s aesthetic. Can't believe this movie is 36 years old.

1:40 so this is '80s Beverly Hills? WTF?

1:46 okay that is fucking gross. I thought the milk was coming out of his nose. This movie is totally not funny at all so far.

1:55 okay, this is NOT Beverly Hills. Where the fuck is this???

2:35 WHY is the volume SOOO low on these streaming service uploads??? My volume is maxed out and it's still low.

2:40 ah, the second Eddie Murphy starts talking, everything just gets better.

2:46 lmfao "these are very popular cigarettes with the children"... das fucked up.

2:55 ahhh, so they're in Detroit. Wooowww. Some areas of this country have been on a decline for a looong time. That's sad as hell, y'all.

4:50 one of those classic '80s action-lite scenes ensues. So comforting. So nostalgic.

5:33 free cigarettes for everybody, lmfao! Get out and get 'em before they're crushed!

6:40 DAMN they made a mess making this fucking movie! Pretty sure that's gotta be illegal.

8:04 Eddie Murphy really does have a fabulous smile. I bet this fucking guy is younger than I am in this movie. God dangit... why haven't I been in any movies yet? I'm a GREAT actress.

8:20 Paul fuckin' Reiser. You almost never see that guy. Hell I bet I'm older than he was here too. They all look sooo young... I remember the first time I watched this movie, that wasn't the case! They didn't look old to me, but I didn't think they looked young. It's so weird and cool how perspective changes. Life is such an illusion.

8:30 I love Paul's character in this movie... he's so real and legit. You just don't get this kinda realness and intimacy out of movies anymore. It has a lot to do with the way they were filmed. It was all so much more real back then.

10:00 his shirt was inside out, LOL. Was that cool at the time?? Seems kinda cool.

10:55 oh FUCK YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH. THIS is the theme right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember teaching myself to play this on the keyboard, rofl!!!!!!!

I've remembered the tune randomly a few times over the years and never could figure out what the hell it was from, omg!!!!!!!!!!

13:40 I only vaguely remember this movie, and certain clips of course... but what I do remember is this friend of his totes gets killed.

15:25 what a sweet scene though.

15:45 Eddie Murphy really has a one of a kind laugh.

16:08 it's really very sad... always thought this was a sort of unfortunate part of the plot. But I think the movie needed this serious element to give it depth and some kinda purpose.

19:24 I definitely think Eddie Murphy is bisexual though. I don't think a dude can have soft female lookin' eyeballs like that and not be at least a little gay.

21:38 see this is what I love about this movie... how he just cons his way into stuff. It's beautiful.

23:50 here's the iconic "HOW YOU ARE DOING TODAY?" scene with my man Bronson Pinchot.

24:44 roflmfaolol I love how he can't pronounce his name... so legendary. Love it so much.

27:55 God, BOTH these dudes were perfectly cast... they just look like a couple of absolutely stone cold evil bastards.

31:07 "I never seen no shit like that"... roflmao, I love this movie so much.

It's so great to see Axel slowly put a plan together and win.

32:15 I always thought "Judge" was a pretty cool name. His real name is Edward Ernest though... Judge is just a nickname.

34:54 damn Judge Reinhold has an amazing nose.

38:56 "Go ahead. Take those bananas." ROFLMAO I LOVE this scene.

41:55 this chick is pretty, but that's gotta be the ugliest hair barrette I've ever seen. It looks like a worm.

46:08 Axel has balls!

46:33 I love the way he handles situations. So great.

51:27 naked '80s chicks, oh man... they just don't make 'em like that anymore.

57:40 "The supercop story was working"... roflmaololol.

1:02:20 "All this shit happened the last time I parked here" lmfaolololol.

1:02:58 this is one of the scenes I've always remembered... so legendary.

1:17:27 "Caution: Speed bumps ahead" YOU AIN'T KIDDIN'!!! THE SUSPENSE THOUGH!!!

1:29:08 man this movie is so badass.

1:31:20 rofl, I fucking love Judge Reinhold.

1:32:00 GOT 'EM.

Such a great movie.

One of the great movies!!

Just so you know, I'm watching this whilst eating cold pizza and drinking lemon-lime Gatorade.

That's her way of humble-bragging her Baller life status guys. *all up in envy*

[somethingelseishere]

What a rip. NF doesn't have BHC.
Ain't even right!

[somethingelseishere]

34:54 damn Judge Reinhold has an amazing nose.

Careful though, I hear he's a bit of a close-talker.... lol

2:35 WHY is the volume SOOO low on these streaming service uploads??? My volume is maxed out and it's still low.

Mercury/Retrograde? Either that or it's time to install "Volume Controller" (browser extension). Works amazingly well, but there's a major drawback which is that when it's in use, you can't go to true full screen. It's close to full screen, but it'll maintain the visibility of the toolbar housing the extension icon. 

why haven't I been in any movies yet? 

Seriously, though. You have "presence" out the wazoo. I'm sure part of it is Hollywood is awful, and you have this thing called "integrity". I'm sure there are excellent filmmakers out there who would kill someone to cast you if they knew about you. By the way I just looked up the origin of "out the wazoo", and it turns out little is known. 

I definitely think Eddie Murphy is bisexual though. I don't think a dude can have soft female lookin' eyeballs like that and not be at least a little gay.

I think part of that was he was obsessed with Prince, and often would flash that "prince look", with the penetrating, magic, and soft female lookin' eyeballs. Not unlike this:

"Beverly Hills Cop 2" (1987)



0:22 ah, it's the famous palm lined Beverly Hills street. So iconic.

0:30 it occurs to me that I dunno if I've ever even seen this movie!

0:40 OMG it's a LADY!!! A wicked looking one at that!!!

I'm interested!!!

1:08 did he just spray whipped cream on that camera??

1:12 I gotta say, this lady doesn't seem like a very good actress.

1:30 why does she keep telling them to "eat the floor"? Isn't that a little much? Who the hell is this woman? Brigitte Nielsen?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitte_Nielsen

I like her style... looks like she was just being herself in this movie. She's pretty hot.

She's one of those freaked out old chicks who had an IVF baby at the age of 54 though... that's pretty fucked up.

Y'all know how I feel about IVF... https://www.sectual.com/thread-11498.html

If you miss your chance, you miss it. Ain't smart to play God. But anyway, moving along.

2:41 come on, was that really necessary?? Bit of an asshole move, don't ya think??

4:00 he's way too stylish for Detroit.

4:10 wow, that car ain't gonna last too long the way he's pushing it.

5:15 shit, I like this Judy chick. I'd much rather talk to her than fatso!

5:30 "The bitch ain't happy" roflmfaololol.

6:18 "titty woman" roflmaololol.

7:08 oh this dude's about to get killed for sure!!!

8:26 aaaaaand, never gonna hear from that guy again, lmao.

13:35 I wouldn't have fallen for that... she looks over 6ft. tall next to that car. Lady looks like a dude. Let some other tool stop for that "chick".

17:30 rofl so damn great. These are just great movies.

31:55 DAYYYYYUUUMMMMMM, this lady is fine as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Wildman

36:20 "That's a big bitch!" OMG I SAID THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

37:26 oh look! It's my man Dean fuckin' Stockwell!

42:30 they never even explained who the hell this chick is. Like yeah, okay, it's his daughter. But they never even said that until just now.

52:47 roflmfaolol, this scene. Hell yes. Billy is such a... gentle soul.

59:00 "Here you go." Rofl. The look on his face! "Billy, we gotta talk." Roflmfaololol. So many great characters in these movies.

1:00:20 is he wearing pink eyeshadow?

1:02:00 oh come on, that would have never worked!

1:04:00 quite an entrance, so exciting!

1:08:32 "Are you like, using The Force?" ROFLMFAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

1:09:50 oh look, it's the Playboy Mansion... back when it was an arguably less depressing, moldy hellhole.

1:10:00 oh look, it's baby Chris Rock.

1:11:45 ALL the attire is black or white. That's so boring. Like, I get it but... still, totally boring.

1:12:50 unpopular opinion: Hugh Hefner was gay.

1:27:32 "Do you like rap music!?" ROFLMFAOLOL, okay I think this is one of my favorite scenes in both these movies.

1:32:20 wow this scene is so creepy, and the music is perfect.

Well it was a good movie... not as good as the first one in my opinion but still pretty good.

[somethingelseishere]

*thinks to himself*

"Is this beesh rubbing her BHC-watching-powers in our faces??" lol

NF needs to gawnan quit takin good movies down! I had BOTH those saved
to my "My List" and they just disappeared! Dirteh bowstuds!!
