Bad Movie Beatdown: Beverly Hills Cop III (REVIEW)

[@FilmBrain]

You must be wondering: hang on, wasn't this on KZbin before? It was, but again this is a new version of the episode because there was some things in the old one I felt had to be addressed: literally, because there's *NEW* footage if you watch carefully... Besides that, Paramount claimed the old version, so I've also cut down the film clips and tried to alleviate the interlacing issue the review had (because the project file was set at 30, and rendered at 25) by cutting frames that show the next shot, making for a smoother viewing experience. All told, 1m 44s shorter than the original version - enjoy!

Out of curiosity, how does this go? They mention which parts of your review they had problems with? or it happens automatically via bots if your review has too much stuff from their movie? Also, how can they even do this? I thought movie reviews are covered under fair use and you could just tell them to keep that in mind.

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

I always viewed Beverly Hills Cop as a satire of those kinds of cop movies, it never really tried to take itself seriously, even in the second one with his friend getting shot, the whole movie itself was still not so serious, and what lost me on the 3rd movie was it tried way to hard to be dark and serious when the whole series of movies is not like that.

[@Greg4fun]

My biggest beef is, Uncle Dave had life threatening injuries and is much older than the other 3, yet he looks in better shape at the end of the movie haha. GO figure.

[@Greg4fun]

They never said how Axel figured out Fullbright was in on it. I just assume, and this is my opinion only, that Axel assumed Fullbright was in on it for how long the investigation was taking. Basically stalling and holding the Feds of DeWald while he did his thing. Axel figured he would stay to Fullbright "I figured out someone else in on it" and if Fullbright tried to kill him, then he was right. That is my theory anyway. If not, just another major movie plot hole haha

Not a terribly insightful comparison. The Nutty Professor was a lifetime ago and hardly merits that of a comeback. In terms of Travolta he rode the comeback train in the mid to late 90s but has since gone back into the straight to DVD toilet.

Murphy had issues with Landis because of his involvement in the deaths of 2 children and a man on the Twilight Zone movie set. The Audacity.

[@TMC1982Part2]

To clarify things further, Murphy didn't like the fact that not only did Landis not show remorse for his role in the Twilight Zone movie accident, but Landis was openly hostile towards Murphy for not testifying in his defense during the trial. This was after Murphy bent over backwards to convince Paramount to hire Landis for Coming to America.

[@TMC1982Part2]

24:14: I really don't think that its fair to blame Steven E. de Suza and his script for a lion's share of the problems with "Beverly Hills Cop III" because what he had originally written wasn't in the finished product. And if you don't believe me, I would advise you to check out an interview that Steven E. de Zuza did here on KZbin entitled "UNFINISHED BUSINESS INTERVIEW - Steven E. de Souza 2 (Street Fighter, Beverly Hills Cop III, & more)" from the channel UnfinishedB1. Like I said, the original draft that de Zuza wrote from July 1992 was absolutely different than the on that was in the final product. This particular draft actually had John Ashton's Taggert in it and it would've focused on Axel Foley taking his niece to the WonderWorld theme park. The climax would've had Axel in an old south setting at WonderWorld, where all of these clichés and racist tropes would've been blown up. Also, Orrin Sanderson, the John Saxon character, would've been the main villain in de Suza's original draft. Keep in mind that according to de Zuza, Eddie Murphy himself, loved his original draft, which was going to be a whole mockery on the Disney culture. The Uncle Dave character was originally intended to go to Dick Van Dyke, who rejected it because how found the idea of playing a pastiche of Walt Disney, who knew and worked with in real life, to be disrespectful and insulting.

[@FilmBrain]

It should be noted this is a very, very old review from 2009, so this pre-dates that.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Very interesting. It's similar to de Souza disputing the 'commando 2 became Die hard' theory in recent years when he said his draft was more like 'Escape Plan'. I do feel writing credits are always a bit of a question mark as often many people work on the script and actors/producers throw in ideas and sometime you can't do things due to budget or availability [like Taggert not being in the final film]. One of the best examples is 'Last Action Hero' where all the credited writers were replaced as the production went on [including Shane Black] and weren't particularly positive on the end result.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

It's well known that Stallone did a re-write of Beverly Hills Cop when he was going to do it but it's often said he used the script wholesale for Cobra when it appears it was mostly separate [especially given Cobra's takes inspiration from Dirty Harry]-Stallone said his 'cop' ending was him playing chicken in his car with a train!

[@WalkmanWillWalkAllOverYou]

What could've been...

[@tthomaselli2]

2:44-2:50.; What happened with Eddie Murphy?...

[@FilmBrain]

I believe at one time Murphy said he was as likely to work with Landis again as Vic Morrow, who was infamously killed in the filming of Landis' segment on Twilight Zone: The Movie.

[@TMC1982Part2]

lebeauleblog.com/2015/09/25/franchise-killers-beverly-hills-cop-iii/ It’s easy to forget this now, but once upon a time Eddie Murphy was the coolest and funniest guy on the planet. In the early 80’s, his movie career got off to a fantastic start with 48 Hours and Trading Places, But it was 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop that officially made Murphy a major movie star. Three years later, Murphy reprised his role as Axel Foley in an action-packed sequel. Beverly Hills Cop II wasn’t nearly as good as the first movie, but as 80’s action movies went, it was better than most. Then Murphy decided he wanted to do other things for a while. By the time he got around to Beverly Hills Cop III, ten years had passed since the first movie and no one cared anymore. Especially Murphy. In 1988, Murphy was still one of the biggest movie stars in the world. But he was getting tired of doing the same schtick in every movie and wanted to branch out. His solution was star in a romantic comedy. Coming to America allowed Murphy to play multiple characters and to showcase his trademark humor, but it also allowed the actor to show his sensitive side. For the first time, Murphy wasn’t just playing a charismatic motor-mouth. He was a romantic leading man. The comedy managed to appeal to Murphy’s core fan base while reaching out to a broader audience. Coming to America was directed by John Landis who had directed Murphy in his earlier hit, Trading Places. According to Landis, Murphy changed between making the two movies: The guy on Trading Places was young and full of energy and curious and funny and fresh and great. The guy on Coming to America was the pig of the world - the most unpleasant, arrogant, *beep* entourage… just an *beep* We clashed quite a bit because he was such a pig; he was so rude to people. I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, Eddie! Who are you?’ We had a good working relationship, but our personal relationship changed because he just felt that he was a superstar and that everyone had to kiss his ass. He was a jerk. The feeling was mutual. The way Murphy tells the story, Paramount wasn’t interested in hiring Landis after all the bad press he got for Twilight Zone: The Movie. For those who don’t know, Landis directed a segment in the movie which was set in Vietnam. In a tragic accident involving a helicopter, actor Vic Morrow and two child actors were killed. Making matters worse, the scene was being shot late at night when the child actors weren’t legally allowed to be working. Landis and several others involved in the production were charged with manslaughter. After a nine-month trial, they were ultimately acquitted. Murphy said he felt bad for Landis whom he had befriended while making Trading Places, so he went to bat for his friend. According to Murphy, Landis immediately started demanding more money and Murphy insisted Paramount pay up. But Murphy claims Landis was not at all grateful for the favor. He says Landis got on the set of Coming to America and started throwing his weight around. Murphy said Landis was upset that Murphy never showed up to support him during his nine-month ordeal in court. Eventually, things got heated. One day, Murphy had some writers on the set working on a script for a TV show his company was producing. When Landis saw the writers, Murphy says the director made a scene. Murphy recounted the incident in a Playboy interview: I playfully grabbed him around the throat, put my arm around him and I said to Fruity, one of my guys, ‘What happens when people put my business in the street?’ And Fruity said, ‘they get *beep* up.’ I was kind of half-joking. Landis reached down to grab my balls, like he also thought it was a joke-and I cut his wind off. He fell down, his face turned red, his eyes watered up like a bitch and he ran off the set. *beep* punk. He came to my trailer later and made this big speech. His voice was trembling. And it all came out: that he didn’t think I was talented, that the only reason he did Coming to America was for money, that he didn’t respect me since I hadn’t gone to his trial and all this *beep* All this *beep* *beep* Called me ignorant, an *beep* I’m sitting there shattered; I’m thinking, This *beep* guy. I bent over f*ucking backward to get this guy a job. He probably won’t even acknowledge what happened. He didn’t realize that his *beep* career was washed up. So I told him, ‘The next time you *beep* around with me, I’m gonna whip your ass.’ Later on, when asked about the possibility of working with Landis again, Murphy said that Landis had a better chance of working with the late Vic Morrow than of ever working with him again. Harsh. But oddly, it was Murphy who reached out to Landis to make Beverly Hills Cop III. By that point, the third Beverly Hills Cop movie had been stuck in development limbo for years. Early scripts had Murphy solving a crime in London. At various points, both Sean Connery and John Cleese were considered to costar. Judge Reinhold, John Ashton and Ronny Cox were all supposed to return for the third movie. But as production on the sequel got delayed over budget concerns, Ashton and Cox had to move on due to other commitments. Eventually, the London concept was scrapped because the storyline was deemed to be to close to the plot of the Michael Douglas movie, Black Rain. So Die Hard and Commando screen-writer, Steven E. de Souza, was hired to write a new script. What he came up with was essentially Die Hard in a theme park. The budget for de Souza’s script was estimated at $70 million dollars. But Paramount got cold feet after Murphy’s latest movie, The Distinguished Gentleman, disappointed at the box office. They demanded the budget be dropped to $55 million. Murphy was getting paid $15 million, so that only left $40 million for the rest of the movie. As a result, action scenes were cut and replaced with scenes of Murphy conducting an investigation. Landis said the movie “was a very strange experience. The script was not any good, but I figured, ‘So what? I will make it funny with Eddie.’ I mean, one of the worst scripts I ever read was [the original] Beverly Hills Cop. It was a piece of *beep* that script. But the movie is very funny because Eddie Murphy and Martin Brest made it funny. And with Bronson Pinchot…that was all improvised. Everything funny in that movie is not in the screenplay, so I thought, ‘Well, we will do that.’ But then I discovered on the first day when I started giving Eddie some shtick, he said, ‘You know, John…Axel Foley is an adult now. He is not a wise ass anymore.’ I believe he was very jealous of Denzel Washington and Wesley Snipes doing these straight roles. So, with Beverly Hills Cop III, I had this strange experience where he was very professional, but he just was not funny. I would try to put him in funny situations, and he would find a way to step around them. It is an odd movie. There are things in it I like, but it is an odd movie.” Co-star Bronson Pinchot corroborated Landis’ assessment of Murphy’s mood while making Beverly Hills Cop III: Eddie was going through his period at the time of doing movies that were not hits, and he was very low-spirited, low-energy. I said to him, ‘All anyone ever wants to know when they meet me is what you’re like.’ And he said, ‘I bet they don’t ask that anymore.’ And then when we did a scene, we were shooting, and he was so low-energy that John Landis sent him upstairs and said, ‘Just rest, Eddie, and I’ll do the scene with Bronson.’ So whenever you see my face in the movie, I’m not really talking to Eddie, I’m talking to John Landis. Murphy is an undeniable talent. When he is on his game, he lights up the screen. But when he’s bored with a movie, it’s really obvious. That was one of the reasons for his career slump at the time. He very visibly was bored with his own movies. Audiences who showed up expecting to see the Eddie Murphy of old were instead disappointed by an Axel Foley who was going through the motions. At the time Beverly Hills Cop III was released, Murphy said it was “infinitely better than Beverly Hills Cop II”. Years later, Murphy changed his mind and called Beverly Hills Cop III “garbage”. Critics and audiences agreed with latter-day Murphy. Beverly Hills Cop III flopped. It opened in third place at the box office and quickly disappeared from theaters. For a long time after that, there was absolutely no demand for any more Beverly Hills Cop. But since everything old is new again, there have been efforts to revive the series. Murphy was attached to a fourth film recently, but he didn’t like the script. He filmed a pilot for a TV show. But the show would have starred Brandon T. Jackson as Murphy’s son who followed his father into law enforcement. Unfortunately, CBS thought audiences would only accept the show if Murphy was in every episode. So the show wasn’t picked up. Today, the status of the Cop franchise is unknown. Murphy is the franchise and he doesn’t seem especially interested in continuing.

They had attempted to make a TV series in 2013 but did not get picked up. And Murphy is now in his mid-50s. The best time to have made should have been in the 2000s.

OOOh ok... Thanks for responding btw, Mathew :-) Love your reviews!

[@colewarnerreviews5834]

The first two movies are great with Beverly Hills Cop 2 being my favorite of the franchise and my favorite Eddie Murphy movie This third movie is absolute garbage though and I haven’t seen the fourth one yet which I’ve heard is much better

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Thankfully the new film was much better than this [even if the plot was very reminiscent of the original film]. I did appreciate them making a joke at 94 not being his best moment!

*Elizondo, not Alonso

[@Razzy194]

18:52 That was pretty cool.

[@cheaptoons]

mate mate mate ...on that part saying "We only met three times,it's because your black, you must be the one" please ...just state the fact, that's she's a woman or a good looking woman not the facts she's black, Axel could have fall in love with any woman of colour plus Jenny Summers, could have been Axel's girlfriend in the first movie, but producers decided not to let that happen and she was white !!!

[@After4th]

If it's just me, this movie seems most likely to be aired on television despite being the worst of the trilogy.

[@biguy617]

It has been announced on Facebook that there will be a 4th movie to end the franchise and it will go direct to Netflix. It doesn’t look good though. I doubt Judge Reinhold will be in it. Just like this movie there won’t be a cameo from an upcoming black comedian like the first two did. Beverly Hills Cop 1 had a cameo appearance of Damon Waynas as the man that gives Axel the bananas that he puts in the Tailpipe to Stop Rosewood and Taggert. The second movie has a cameo appearance of Chris Rock. The third movie has no black comedian cameos. Instead we Director cameos like George Lucas which weren’t that good. I doubt the 4th one will have any black comedian cameos either. Who are they going to kill or badly hurt to get Axel involved? Now my pitch for a 4th movie would be as cast would be Eddie Murphy with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and have it directed by Edgar Wright. Make similar to Hot Fuzz. My second idea would be to have Eddie team up,with Channing Tantum and Jonah Hill for a Jump Street crossover. Either idea could work and would be better than what he currently has planned.

[@HarryBalzak]

Yes, this film is quite bad, but it is a guilty pleasure of mine.

[@thelonewolf2476]

Mathew please do vampire in Brooklyn

[@thehorrorhound6575]

The film/movie Outlaw/Loner ooo that would be a good one to see.

[@TheDukeOfNewYork1]

Binging all of film brains stuff in 2020.. For the obvious reasons.

[@scottylewis8124]

That year never happened!

[@ShadowDeist]

10:32 lmfao

[@Dim4323]

Bring back the original theme

[@FilmBrain]

Not if I don't want a copyright block.

[@Dim4323]

​@@FilmBrain You know what...i do like the new theme i has grew on me over the years

[@MacReady1980]

This is a favorite film of mine! A guilty pleasure. I love the John Landis weirdness with the dancing at the start, the little kid punching Axel in the park, all the little quirks are great!

[@MacReady1980]

@Alex Kanyima I think Landis would be the 1st to say it's not a good film, but he explained that Eddie was going through a phase where he was trying to be the more mature, less funny type. Really hurt the film as it was against his character.

[@revolverocelot-rx2mf]

I think why axol was made into a fox because of his wits and he is a smart guy. My mom hates the second one necause she fucking weird.

[@zenkaiangel977]

I love you, Brain, but you're trying way too hard with this review. Complaining about the opening in particular - about 5 seconds of a train passing by: "so boring" - seriously? Do you also think 2001 sucks? Lol but for real, I'm glad you don't nitpick this much anymore, it really comes across more mean-spirited than genuine critique. Try to enjoy making these reviews. You don't need to try to make a bad movie look bad/worse 😈

[@FilmBrain]

It is more of a general comment on how the opening of the movie is terribly dull and flat, especially in comparison to the exciting ways the previous entries opened. And this was also the fourth review I ever did, so there is that.

[@willman85]

It was still a more entertaining movie than Metro. As shitty as this is, out of the two I would rather watch this.

[@biguy617]

Boggleville is probably dead in this movie. That is why he isn’t mentioned.

[@trealcity]

U right bro lol

[@nurse425]

Oh, come on now Film Brain, Oscar was pretty good!

[@iamjohngalt8568]

Personally I don't think bhc3 is that bad. Sure it's by no means the best of the 3 movies but there's still some pretty funny scenes in it. Especially the scene in the chop shop

[@ckdpraha]

Taking a dump on flicks is a waste of time. Invest, make one yourself and take some beating.

[@FilmBrain]

I have been in some since this video was made 13 years ago. Some possible contenders for worst ever made.

[@vvadoicurbalvvadoicurbal8517]

Do you hate Eddie Murphy?

[@shellbacksclub]

Die Hard is such a bizarre movie to have as ones favorite. Good movie & all, but good Lord... It's, Die Hard!

[@mordecaieagle4240]

Good? Die Hard is not just good, it is the greatest action movie of all time!

[@condo0073]

Come on Surge is iconic in the Beverly hills cop series. Love Surge and absolutely must be in the new sequel for nostalgia reasons🤣😁👍

[@condo0073]

@Alex Kanyima I agree. Surge was a comedic highlight though. He stands out from the first movie 🤣

[@brianfuller7691]

I'm rewatching the older videos and your humour is still on. I just re-watched this and it's at best mediocre. Did Murphy even care at this point?

[@Blaze_plays11YT]

Cop 3 is a funny action movie. It has more action, stunts, explosions than both of the other films combined. Foley fights more in this film than the others. Ofcourse the first one was funnier. Cop 3 is way better than part two. Cop 2 earned more money but Cop 3 is definitely a better film. It has more action and T. Randle was great as Foley's love interest. It's a fun movie.

[@lexkanyima2195]

Yeah right
