[@aztecgold8997]

Great reactions....Love how you bop to the music every now and then....

[@chrislaustin]

I was born in 71, so I was a kid in that decade, but a teen in the 80's and I loved it being that age, I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much being older. Being 52 now, it is hands down my favorite decade, and while I despised school, I loved everything else(movies, malls, fashion, music, arcades, etc.). It was indeed an amazing time.

[@ps5392]

Right there with ya man! Born in 72….hated school but wouldn’t trade the culture of the 80’s for anything.

[@bjgandalf69]

Born in '69 and watched this film on a first date at 15.

[@kdub3871]

Another 71 baby here! Totally agree. It's a joy to watch reactors discover these classics. Great reaction!!!👏🏾

[@TimothySmiths]

Same 71 here, i wouldn't wish to have grown up any other time.

[@swacfan100]

I was born in 76. And yeah you speaking facts.

[@scubaspookryu]

First time watching one of your reactions. Very enjoyable. You seem like a fun person to be around. I'll definitely have to watch more of you reactions. Thank you for an enjoyable 38 minutes!

[@DavidCollver]

Enjoyed watching you react to this movie. Time to check the rest of your channel out, thank you for this.

[@criminalcontent]

Please do!

[@PE4Doers]

Also, Jenny Summers is from the movie 'An Officer and a Gentleman', as officer candidate Casey Seeger, and her real name is Lisa Elibatcher.

[@kevinlaw6185]

Yep, that was Johnathan Banks, the actor who plays Mike Ermantrout in Breaking Bad.

[@user-EricWatson55]

Also, he was an orderly at the psychiatric hospital in "The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension".

[@tyanavadau]

He is a cop in 48 HRS, another Eddie Murphy film.

[@robogreek3157]

And commissioner Gordon in arkham knight.

[@PE4Doers]

I like what you said about wishing you were born in 1955. I was born in 1956, and it was a nightmare having my first car in 1976 (under President Carter), when you had to wait in line for gas for at least 2hrs, and the home interest rates was 17%.

[@jayharvey7043]

I'm going to have to subscribe to your channel simply because this is the first reaction I've seen of this movie, where the reactor actually recognized Damon Wayans.

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

Beverly Hills Cop had one of the best soundtrack from the 80’s and that’s saying a lot. Since you enjoyed the first one the sequel is going to be a supreme treat

[@abeartheycallFozzy]

"Axel F" is great theme music. I remember a carnival attraction that used it. They played it on a loop all summer. The workers there had a crazed look in their eyes.🥺

[@bossfan49]

2nd only to Footloose sndtrk.

[@kevinhayes1656]

And fast times at Ridgemont high came out in 1982

[@TimTrozzo65]

You edited out one of my favorite lines,"What's that man doing here?""Bleeding,sir"

[@MrJust1231]

Love the reaction I also like the fact that you recognized a lot of the actors from other places I did the exact same thing lol I’ve watched this movie for a long time it’s always been one of my favorites

[@JedHead77]

Seeing Eddie’s face over Coby’s shoulder: 😄

[@briangregory6303]

You might not recognize her here, but Lisa Eilbacher, Jenny Summers, played Seegar in An Officer and A Gentleman.

[@ck_idgaf1680]

10:20 YES. It's Balki from Perfect Strangers. Bronson Pinchot. Most reactors don't know or mention that. Fun Fact: It was this role that got the show green lit and originally Louie Anderson was suppose to be in that role as 'Cousin Louie'. They saw his performance in Beverly Hills Cop and felt he could bring more life to the 'cousin' character.

[@StreetHierarchy]

That's when you know you're old 🤣 Ayy I wonder if she knows Family Matters was a Perfect Strangers spin-off!

[@bjgandalf69]

Most people don't recognize him because they never saw that show because they weren't alive yet!...lol I'm impressed she has seen Perfect Strangers!

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Because most reactors don't know shit.

[@bossfan49]

Yes it was common back in the 40s through the 80s in many parts of the country. Michigan State Troopers still use the single red "cherry-top" light on their vehicles, albeit a slightly lower profile now.

[@CoastalNomad]

Some Reagions called them Gum-Balls and the double light were called Gumball Machines......

[@MrGruffteddybear]

Detroit police cars in the 60's 70's and early 80's had the single light. I imagine light bars were introduced sometime in the 80's.

[@danielcameron9857]

Can I just say that I'm both impressed and overjoyed that you know who Balki Bartokomous is!!!!!

[@CTHill-nf6tf]

And yeah The Wayans Brother that you saw was Damon Wayans way back when he was much younger.

[@BigTone_1701]

John Aston (Sgt Taggart) co-stars in "Midnight Run" with Robert DeNiro & Charles Grodin; it's about 2 bounty hunters (Ashton & DeNiro) tracking down a mob accountant (Grodin) who is also being tracked by the FBI (let by Yaphett Kotto, who was in Alien) and the Mafia. Another great 80s action/comedy movie with a feel similar to BH Cop (they were both directed by Martin Brest). And yes that is Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmintrout). Lisa Eilbacher (Jenny) co-starred with Charles Bronson (as his daughter) in the very graphic 1983 crime thriller "10 to Midnight".

[@DesL488]

Midnight Run - Great movie IMHO it's even better than BHC and one of my favourite Di Nero movies.

[@tfaust77]

It made me so happy that you recognized Balki Bartokamous!

[@ThunderPants13]

Me too! Bronson Pinchot is such an underrated actor. Guy is crazy talented.

[@Greybeardmedic]

Things were site unseen and unheard in the 80's. Racism still alive, sexism alive, prejudice very much alive. Cameras had yet to be installed on cell phones. In fact there was no internet, no wifi, computers were a tool on a desk, and the only practical cell phones were installed in automobiles, although you could get a handheld cell phone, but they were very big, and they definitely stood out.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

The sequel by Tony Scott is fab too ! My Baptist family bought this on VHS for me for Christmas at my request when I was 12 yrs old, and we only had one TV and one VHS player. They were not impressed !

[@alonzocas3914]

They used to call those sirens "cherries" on top. some weren't even attached, they just were magnetic on the bottom.

[@tetsuoishiki4677]

The song was called Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer. Jonathan Banks was also with Murphy in 48 Hours. He was great in the TV show Wiseguy too.

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

Sylvester Stallone was supposed to do this movie but he kept rewriting it and turning it into a action the studio decided to go with a different and go with Eddie Murphy. The movie that Stallone rewrote turned into a movie called "cobra"

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Yes that was Damon Wayans that gave Eddie the bananas

[@jediknightgeo]

Fun fact: the hotel worker at the end of the film when Axel asks how much are the robes is actually the director of the film, Martin Brest.

[@almol1682]

She's like all the cars got crushed, ALL of them. VW Beetle intact after 2 collisions. So much for reactions.

[@danielhoehne801]

The fact that you knew Balki, awesome!

[@pmr1049]

The next two is equally as good so will be waiting for that to show up in my feed :) Liked your reaction to this !

[@criminalcontent]

part II monday ;)

[@lw3918]

To be a teenager in the 80's was the best. Generation X'ers are just plain rad!

[@trevalarose8155]

It is the actor from Breaking Bad. Great reaction

[@mcoffroadinaz4075]

Those tall lights are common in the 80's and older. Atlanta area Police had them, as well as State Patrol. New York had them. There was a time in which the police WANTED you to know they were around to serve and protect...

[@bsquizzle100]

He is Mike from BCS and BB.

[@nelbongellor412]

Good job spotting actors. I remember all of this. Wish you could have been there.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

Honestly this movie has a very very simple story, not alot of layers or surprises. What makes this film so good is Eddie Murphy's performance and the soundtrack 👌

[@briguy399]

You have to remember that Axel Foley was a Detroit cop, Not Beverly Hills, So He had No jurisdiction to Operate and arrest people in Beverly Hills. Unless maybe He was already officially working with the Beverly Hill's. Like a joint Task force Or He was loaned out to help them officially, etc.

[@bjgandalf69]

Yes, that is Damon Wayans in maybe his first film role. Look for another well known comedic actor in the sequel in an early cameo role!

[@curtismartin2866]

The reason the Beverly Hills police were suspicious of Axel was that he didn't look like a Beverly Hills Police Officer. Ahem.

[@dyanad1]

Yes, that sure was Jonathan Banks aka Mike Ermentrout from Breaking Bad...great eye.

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

Yes that was Damon Wayans who gave axel the bananas . The oldest brother Keenan ivory wyanes and Eddie Murphy grew up together and are best friends

[@rhphotocdn]

Those Police Car Lights are referred to as a Bubble Gum Machine - A law enforcement vehicle, specifically a cruiser or highway patrol car. From the shape of the old-style revolving lights that resemble old gumball vending ...

[@tvdroid22]

Murphy's entrance in this movie was one of those fortunate accidents. Originally, this was to be a vehicle for Stallone. Didnt work out and a casual conversation with Eddie turned into him being cast, and a blockbuster was born.

[@coreyrees840]

Yeah Stallone wanted to play it a more action cop movie and not the comedy role, so they went with Eddie and Stallone made the movie he wanted in “Cobra”

[@tvdroid22]

@@coreyrees840 And that was one Stallone missed the mark with. Didn't exactly catch on.

[@coreyrees840]

@@tvdroid22 which is why I’m so glad this is how it played out. Otherwise we woulda just got cobra under the BHC title and no BHC franchises as we know it. This way we got both (though don’t think anyone gives a fuck for cobra)

[@tvdroid22]

@@coreyrees840 And yet somehow, we got Brigitte Nielsen in BOTH FRANCHISES!!! They probably shoulda gotten an actress for the roles.

[@jimmonroe8532]

The Detroit Police Department absolutely had the bubble light on top and so did/do our State Troopers vehicles!

[@foreignmilk5589]

the 3rd onebis absolutely worth a watch

[@scottpuma5819]

Most of the times Eddie Murphy gets out of a jam by playing a character, it was ad-libbed for the movie. The hotel desk clerk scene, the Harrow club scene, and the "Supercop" scene were all ad libbed.

[@kurfsolb]

That's right. In fact John Ashton lost it and started to laugh during that Supercop story. 🙂And I'm glad they kept it in the movie.

[@allengray5748]

Great Reaction!! Ok I'm pretty sure you weren't born when Perfect Strangers first aired. Must have been Re-re-runs but you know your stuff of my stuff, stuff! Going to have to check out your channel! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@DariaBilowus]

The light on the police cars in Detroit are called a Cherry.

[@kevinhayes1656]

This movie was released in 1984

[@MadTheDJ]

Classic film. And one of the all time great soundtrack albums. I have the original vinyl and still throw it on from time to time, especially in the summer. They do make'em like this any more.

[@chrisnorden8043]

The "thriller" looking leather outfits that Eddie laughs at are a nod to his standup special "Delirious". He wore a similar outfit during the filming of said special.

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

The two guys are friends of Eddie

[@lesterburkholderjr9833]

In theaters

[@user-EricWatson55]

Bronson Pinchot from "Perfect Strangers"! He's hilarious in this! 😂

[@geece1]

Those Detroit lights were legit all over back in the day. Slang for them were "bubblegum machines ".

[@deathk26]

Michigan State Police still use them to this day.

[@bjgandalf69]

If you want to see a lot more of those lights, watch Blue Brothers!

[@bossfan49]

@@bjgandalf69 In The Blues Brothers the IL State trooper vehicles all had "mars bars". The Chicago PD squads had the steel bar across the top with sirens in the middle and a blue gumball machine on each side.

[@russfoulkes5490]

Crazy big nee-naws

[@DannyCheek]

"Bubblegum machines". That makes me think that either Coby or Cami(or a dual reaction from both)should react to "Smokey And The Bandit".Because technically,a crime IS being committed in "Smokey And The Bandit".

[@Tr0nzoid]

"It might hold up..." New viewers often like this, but they won't grasp what it was like when this came out in the pop atmosphere of not just "the eighties" but specifically 1984. Everyone knew Eddie Murphy from "Saturday Night Live," his stand-up, and the movies he'd done. The plot and soundtrack were also a compliment of sorts to the new hip show "Miami Vice." You said you would have liked to have been born in 1955 to experience the 1980s but it was probably best for kids.

[@diarrheagondola]

If a cop isn't assigned to a case and gets involved (and interferes with it), they can be charged with obstruction. Victor's house is 609 E Channel Rd in Santa Monica. The shots on Zillow look like it's about the same as it was in 84.

[@bossfan49]

Something that was lost with the 80s... having a signature hit song attached to the movie. Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, Footloose, Back To The Future, Mannequin, Ghostbusters, Fame, Flashdance, An Officer and a Gentleman, Caddyshack, Spies Like Us, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Against All Odds, Romancing The Stone, Jewel Of The Nile, National Lampoon's Vacation, Vision Quest, Say Anything, St. Elmo's Fire, At Close Range, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Running Scared, Breakin', A View To A Kill, Short Circuit, The Color of Money, Purple Rain.. (Honorable Mention to "La Bamba" for the cover version by Los Lobos)

[@Rob-eo5ql]

Love BHC. Saw it at Grauman's Chinese Theatre when I was 17. What an experience. The place was packed. Everybody was LOLing, cheering. But 48 Hrs. Is my all-time favorite. Funny but way more gritty. It’s was Eddie’s first movie (2 years before BHC). 48Hrs made such a buzz because it was so different. It was considered for best picture nomination but didn’t make the cut because the Academy Awards people didn’t like the swearing. LOTS of swearing. lol Such a great movie. In 2 years, Eddie made 48Hrs (1982), Delirious (his legendary HBO standup special in 1983), then BHC (1984). His career EXPLORED after that.

[@federer911]

Bronson Pinchot was Balki on Perfect Strangers. One if the best sitcoms ever!

[@matthawkins8880]

48 Hours is another Eddie Murphy movie you should watch.

[@r33s3m2]

You watched Perfect Stangers? They just suggested this channel yesterday, and I'm digging it. Good reactions, fun feedback, and excellent predictions. You got a subscriber.. good vid. Don't watch the 3rd one😅

[@criminalcontent]

thank you !! welcome aboard

[@heathcoram3728]

cops haven't used that 1 big lite since the 60s. Jonathan Banks did play Mike

[@jmominis]

Not true. Detroit was using them at the time of the movie and Michigan State is still using them.

[@robertlain6095]

Actually in Michigan that's Detroit State troopers in Michigan still to this day!

[@JayStar-yj9pu]

There are few actors who weren't necessarily A List but steady workers who had significant roles in major movies like Ronny Cox who plays the Captain of the BH dept.. For the Trifecta, Cox also gave us two iconic villains on the Corporate side of things. 1) Mars Dictator Milos Cohagen in Total Recall. 2) Detroit Industrialist Richard "Dick" Jones...Robocop. Of course he just happened to play one half of the greatest onscreen ax-battle the 70s gave us in 'Deliverance'... DUELING BANJOS!

[@CameronBaker-v5j]

Axel and Jennys on screen chemistry is just so genuine and I've always felt that watching this movie which makes it naturally enjoyable to watch. Classic 😎

[@abeartheycallFozzy]

Old cop cars did have that single really tall flashing light. My guess is that the filmmakers used it on the Detroit cars to emphasize that department was underfunded, and Beverly Hills had the more up to date equipment.

[@deaconbluezzz]

Nope, that's legit what Detroit police cars looked like in the early 80's.

[@bossfan49]

Partly yes. The LA squad cars were '81 Chevy Impalas. The Detroit squads were '79 Chrysler Newports. But MI state troopers still use the single cherry top today.

[@BillTheScribe]

The old style police lights didn't use LED's. They used regular light bulbs then a concave reflective dish sat at a 45 degree angle and revolved around the light. If you stood in one spot, the light flashed, but if you watch the walls around the car, the light sweeps around in a circle like a tiny,, very fast lighthouse. The lights had to be tall to hold the reflector.

[@thechosenones4375]

One of the best action/comedies of all time 🙂

[@lesterburkholderjr9833]

This summer there will be Beverly hills cop 4

[@RobertFergus-l3c]

Love that you recognized many actors from other performances but noticed you didn't note the actor who played Taggart from another fun 80s movie called Midnight Run with Robert Deniro. If you haven't seen it, then you should react to that one.

[@flarrfan]

You should watch the Hollywood record-setter for most cars destroyed...It's a fun romp with lots of editable music and performances by some of the greatest R&B artists of the mid-20th century. Look for The Blues Brothers with Ackroyd and the original Belushi. Oh, those crazy outfits on the sidewalk you thought were Michael Jackson? Those were exact copies of the suit Murphy wore when he did stand-up concerts...I saw one back in '83, I think it was.

[@bossfan49]

Those were Michael Jackson Thriller outfits. One was black stripes on red like Michael wore and the other was reversed. Eddie wore solid red leather for his Delirious concert...no black stripes. And he wore purple for RAW.

[@oslafoirausuebutuoy5457]

11:29 I think The Silence of the Lambs came out about 7 or 8 years after Beverly Hills Cop, if I remember correctly.

[@CoastalNomad]

Correct, "Silence of the Lambs" was released in 1991......

The more I watch u, the more I think ur a movie geek like me! I was a kid and teen in the 80s, so I saw all these in theaters!!! The fact u recognized Mike, and Balki, Fast Times, and a wayons brother tells me ur a movie and tv nerd! I used to have a large gang of folks I hung out with, at an ice house on weekends. This one dude, every time he saw me, would revert to drunk Eddie in the bar and go, " Phil, Phil..... it's me!....". Did u see Nick Cage in Fast Times,, or recognize who the football star was?😅😅

[@gregc9491]

Fun fact from this movie that I love: at 17:29 Eddie Murphy is adlibbing the super cop story & the actor playing Taggart can not keep from laughing and has to put his head down.

[@fidel2xl]

Good reaction. But just a friendly FYI per a remark you made around the 11:24 minute mark about one of the bad guys trying to act like 'Hannibal Lecter'...lol. Actually, this movie (Beverly Hills Cop) was released in 1984, 7 years before 'The Silence of The Lambs' (1991). So, there was no 'Hannibal Lecter' as of yet to "act like"...lol Also, when Axel Foley was thrown through the building window and arrested by the BH Cops, the reason he didn't announce that he too is a cop, were because (1) His boss in Detroit ordered him NOT to get involved in the case....so, he knew that if he informed them that he is a police officer, they would have contacted his boss, and thus landed him in serious trouble in Detroit and in LA. And (2) As a police officer in Detroit, Michigan, he has no jurisdiction in Los Angeles, California. And the reason the BH cops were ordered to keep an eye on him, was to make certain that he did not engage in any police activities in LA, since he had no jurisdiction whatsoever, and there was already reasonable suspicions that he was illegally conducting police investigations without the knowledge, consent, approval, or legal authority to do so. Remember, he is not an FBI Agent (the FBI has 'police authority' nationwide). He is a local Detroit police officer. He has no police authority outside of Detroit. And his boss in Detroit basically told the lieutenant in Beverly Hills, to keep an eye on his employee (Axel Foley) to make sure he didn't do anything stupid like investigating a case outside his jurisdiction.

[@georger.3489]

My favorite Eddy Murphy movie. Thank you for the excellent reaction :)

[@socalpaul487]

Those style police lights are why trucker CB slang called police cars "bubble gum machines" (In case you watch "Smokey and the Bandit"

[@johnnywells5341]

Those were how Detroit PD cars were. Cash strapped city, not top of the line equipment.

[@TheHessian123]

Just to be fair, Billy just saw Victor and his men going into his own warehouse then men and Victor came out with Jenny, who is one of his own employees. She was not screaming or yelling for help so, I do not think Billy would have had probably cause.

[@terrykowalchuk1363]

Serge is played by Bronson Pinchot. Jenny is played by Lisa Elibacher. She was also in An Officer and a Gentleman.

[@socalpaul487]

Axel Foley's theme is among the top detective theme songs. It rates right up with The Pink Panther theme and Peter Gunn Theme.

[@candicelitrenta8890]

The cops were after him to make sure he did not investigate the murder of his friend. The commissioner told him that if they informed him that he WAS working to solve the crime he would be brought up on THOSE charges from Detroit and be fired.

[@SeanBlader]

A room at the Beverly Palms Hotel in 1984 at $235 would be inflation adjusted in 2024 to be $720 per night. $235 in 1984 was a ridiculous rate. The Federal and California Minimum wage at the time was $3.35. Also don't look up the "Beverly Palms Hotel" the actual filming location was at The Millenium Biltmore Los Angeles, who's actual rates today vary between $125 and $304, a far cry from what Axel Foley would've paid adjusted for inflation at $720.

[@kennethbartels4274]

The Michigan state police still use the single button light on top.

[@EdMelendez]

Great reaction.

[@criminalcontent]

thanks !

[@bidwell13]

2:01 oh wow i remember having that ringtone on that phone. 8:38 i was an 80s kid. 9:30 that’s about $710 a night in 2024. 11:15 they came up on him from behind so he never saw or heard them. 15:07 this is Damon’s first film credit. 19:51 it’s not so much they’re corrupt but Maitland is such a well known rich person in Beverly Hills that they’re afraid of being sued or losing their jobs that they want to keep Foley from bugging him. 21:07 Back when filming this Eddie Murphy was so against drugs of any kind and even turned down coffee when he was tired from extra filming. He finally gave in when shooting the police station scene was taking a long time and he was having trouble keeping his eyes open and had a sip of coffee. The “supercops” scene was born from that sip of coffee. Judge Reinhold “Rosewood” was pinching his thigh trying to keep himself from laughing and John Ashton “Taggert” hand his hand on his face to keep from ruining the scene by laughing at it. 25:01 the paper rolled up in the chiefs hand is the script. He got the new lines just before recording the scene. 37:11 I was technically too young when this came out on VHS but my older brother bought it and whenever my parents left the house for some time we would put it on and watch it.

[@JMO_1976]

None of the cops were bent. What Axel was doing was illegal, interfering in a police investigation & obstruction of justice. He was not assigned to the case so he has no business or authority to investigate, follow, or question anyone. They threw him out the window so they could call the cops on him and have him charged with disturbing the peace. The cops who arrested him had no idea he was a cop & no way of knowing that Maitland's people were lying to them. The reason the higher ups kept trying to reign Axel in is he was being disruptive and illegally harassing a wealthy business man. Maitland could've sued the LAPD for not upholding the law by their allowing Foley to harass him. The police had no evidence of wrong doing on Maitland's part, and what Axel was doing was actually illegal. If this had happened in real life, Victor would've most likely gotten away with it and Axel would either be fired, in prison, or both. That being said, it's still a great movie, but while it's not a sci-fi or superhero movie, it's also not completely realistic either. That's what was great about 80s-90s action popcorn movies. You didn't have to do a ton of thinking, it was essentially ”give your brain the night off” entertainment. And yes, the single light police cars were a thing, especially at the start. They didn't have light bars on the first police cars, it was a single, large light. And when you see older cop movies with unmarked police cars, they had a similar light on a coiled cord they kept inside the car that they would transfer to the roof and activate when starting a pursuit. That last time I saw one of those was the Friends episode when Phoebe's cop boyfriend takes Joey, Ross, & Chandler on a ride along.
