Amazon.com:
The 1988 sequel to one of the most successful movies of all time finds Eddie Murphy reprising his role as Detroit police detective Axel Foley, and once again playing a fish out of water as he tries to solve a series of heists in Beverly Hills that may be connected to the attempted murder of his friend, a Beverly Hills police captain (Ronny Cox). Constructed in a much flashier and faster-paced visual style than the first film, the song still remains the same as Foley tries to keep his job in Detroit while solving crimes for the Beverly Hills cops. Murphy again makes the most of culture shock for comic effect, and the easy rapport between Murphy and Billy (Judge Reinhold), now a cheerfully over the top Rambo-esque figure, is still the centerpiece of this series. While not the least bit original, director Tony Scott (Crimson Tide, Top Gun) puts his own stamp on this installment and keeps the action and the laughs coming. --Robert Lane

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent Sequel, That's Very Entertaining
The original Beverley Hills Cop is one of those films that remains a cult classic because of the fact that it's such a product of the time it was made. This quintessential eighties style is carried over to the sequel, made three years later, and although part two; like many sequels, never quite manages that same verve as the original film - it still offers a good time, and anyone that enjoyed the first installment (and who didn't?) will probably have a good time with this sequel too. All the main players from the original film have been rounded up once again, with Eddie Murphy heading a capable ensemble cast, lots of wisecracks and some gratuitously over the top action sequences. The plot is, as you would expect, superfluous to the style of the film; and much of the movie is simply tailored ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Disappointing Sequel to BHC.
This sequel to the smash hit movie BEVERLY HILLS COP takes the Murphy character back to Los Angeles to solve a case of `Alphabet' crimes. Unfortunately, BHC2 is another one of those ordinary sequels that got made just because its predecessor was such a huge hit, therefore lacking the quality of the original. The major mistake of the movie comes from the storyline, which contains more bullets and not enough hilarity. There are a few funny bits, though, such as John Ashton falling into a swimming pool and the scene where Murphy picks on Playboy ladies man Hugh Hefner, but the movie's good moments can't compete with lousy acting or a crummy script.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Axel is back at it
Beverly Hills Cop was a runaway hit despite being panned by the same established critics that gave Speed 2 and Anaconda 2 thumbs up. The second installment has Axel Foley trying to solve a case involving a criminal who goes by the name "The Alphabet Killer"(played by Jurgen Prochnow) after LT. Bogomil is shot by the Alphabet Killer's henchwoman played by Brigitte Nielson. Later on Axel stumbles on a plot involving oil and a lot of guns. Beverly Hills Cop II is just as funny as the first one but is more visually pleasing. Whether it is the streets of Beverly Hills or an oil field out of town, the picture is sharp. Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold's character, Billy, provide most of the laughs. John Ashton's Taggert is okay on this one. Brigitte Nielson probably played her best role in here as ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hey Eddie!
Another Eddie Murphy Classic! I love every scene from start to finish I mean how he was able to high-jack a home... CLASSIC! I actually have every movie... If you are an Eddie Murphy fan as I you must buy this one.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good action packed sequel
Beverly Hills Cop II is a great follow up to the classic first film. While the film tones down some of the comedy;the action is upped to the max courtsey of director Tony Scott. Murphy contuines to have good chemistry with Reinhold and Ashton and Brigette Nelson is great the a villanness.
