About this episode
“You don’t need to ask for directions anymore, you’re no longer a fish out of water!” - Andrew on Axel’s third time in Los Angeles
On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza tackles an action comedy sequel that didn’t need to exist at all, and no one wanted to make in the first place, Beverly Hills Cop III! What in the hell tone were they shooting for with this movie? How is Axel not blamed for Inspector Todd’s death at the hands of Ellis De Wald? Why did they replace Taggart with Hector Elizondo playing a guy who’s just Taggart with different facial hair? How is Wonder World still open for business after all the carnage Axel and company carry out on park grounds? And how hilarious and great is this George Lucas cameo? PLUS: What was the Tunnel of Love supposed to represent at the end?
Beverly Hills Cop III stars Eddie Murphy, Timothy Carhart, Stephen McHattie, Judge Reinhold, Hector Elizondo, John Saxon, Theresa Randle, Alan Young, Bronson Pinchot, and George Lucas as Disappointed Man; directed by John Landis.
