BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 (1987) | PARAMOUNT | 4K UHD MOVIE REVIEW | WORTH IT WITHOUT SPECIAL FEATURES?

[@urniebarnes]

Part 2 is my favorite of the three. My only gripe is the lack of special features that was on the DVD but not the bluray or 4K, including the deleted scene and retrospective look back. If you felt this way about the first 2 films, you'll really "love" the 3rd film 😳

[@midlevelmedia]

Haha! I'm sure I will. I'll probably buy it on 4K too. Lol

[@lorenzoharrismanofgod4192]

I personally enjoy the sequel over the first although they both compliment each other very well

[@midlevelmedia]

I think it's definitely a more exciting movie.

[@klel68]

I love the first Beverly Hills cop movie, I tried my best to see it in the theatre but was not able to get in since it was a restricted adult movie and I was under age. It was the first movie I ever rented and watched it five times in the 24 hours I had the movie in my possession. I was able to see the second one in the theatre, they handed out a free record of the bob seger single shakedown as you entered the theatre. I don’t really care about special features, I just want the movie. I will definitely pick up Beverly Hills cop 2 on 4K since I have the first one on 4k.

[@scaps2200]

If the special features are only on the Blu-ray disc then it should always be included with the 4K. Part of the benefit of being a physical media collector is to have the option of watching special features.

[@RK-jp4xe]

I appreciate your opinion on this one. However, I always found this movie to be hilarious with good action sequences. I have nostalgia for it though since I watched it as a kid in the 90s. Great kids movie lol haha. Thanks for the video Ken.

[@Lozin80]

I do very much like the first movie but the second one is definitely my favorite of the three for sure.

[@midlevelmedia]

Nice! I thought it was a step up too.

[@henryhill6637]

My favorite Eddie movie is Trading places. 2nd was coming to America and 3rd Beverly hills cop 2.

[@Theomite]

I felt similarly. But as time has gone on, COMING TO AMERICA keeps going further and further up, and has probably replaced TRADING PLACES at this point.

[@midlevelmedia]

His stuff with John Landis is great!

[@henryhill6637]

@@midlevelmedia really is and he was a Genius. All his moveis were awesome.

[@brandonrowsell7989]

Even the dvd of this movie looks impressive. If you are watching on a 4k tv. Can't wait to watch the 4k disc

[@powerinnumbers6159]

Don't dislike many of yours but you went over the top with the movie review thoughts.

[@midlevelmedia]

Just my opinion Mark.

[@anthonydiggle2926]

Sorry but I have to emphatically and very strongly disagree with you. The first “Beverley Hills Cop” is one of my favourite comfort movies and have lost count the number of times I have seen it. I also think the chemistry works very well between the 3 main characters. I think the first one is an all time iconic 80s classic and we have to agree to disagree.

[@midlevelmedia]

It's all good Anthony. I totally understand those that love these movies. I just can't personally get into them. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@anthonydiggle2926]

@@midlevelmedia I apologise if my statement was harsh in its tone. I was about 15 when this was released and can remember watching it firstly on VHS in 1985. I guess with me being a teen in the 80s, this movie resonates strongly with me. I respect your view and after all different opinions make the world go round.

[@Theomite]

I think Part II's weakness is the uneven pacing. You can definitely tell that lots of stuff got cut out and that really truncates the flow. But my love for the first film dwindled when I saw the second one. Tony Scott's style really solidified the proper look and tone for the series, which is definitely 80s. I don't fault you for your opinion, I'm just saying there's very prominent visual signifiers that tilt the second one in most people's favor.

[@southendonseaarts]

Ken with BHC you would of had to be there I saw 1 & 2 in the cinema and it was a blast it’s certainly a different experience with an audience and Rosewood and Taggart are stooges that’s the main premise they’re ineptitude is what’s funny not them still one my favs. This one for me is a solid 8

[@midlevelmedia]

That does feel like the case with these movies. Very nostalgia based and I definitely get it. Glad you enjoy them!

[@sidneyeubanks7206]

Beverly Hills Cop 2! Great movie! I like it better than the first. But the first one is good too. But I love 2 better. Out of 10 I give it 9/10

[@midlevelmedia]

Nice! Glad you enjoy it and I'll admit the sequel is better.

[@donmorton4597]

Behind on the videos lol. I remember seeing this in the theater the 1st day of Summer in 87. This along with the original Predator and Prince of Darkness that year as well.

[@WPorta1969]

48 Hrs. is my favorite Eddie Murphy film. I’d have to go Beverly Hills Cop, Coming To America, and The Nutty Professor after that. Boomerang and Bowfinger were also ones that I enjoyed. I haven’t seen Beverly Hills Cop 2 in a really long time. IMHO, it was an okay sequel. At least, it wasn’t the travesty that was Beverly Hills Cop 3 and it was a better sequel than Another 48 Hrs, Coming 2 America, and The Klumps.

[@midlevelmedia]

Nice list and it does seem that Murphy misses more with his sequels then he hits.

[@scaps2200]

Hey that's Red Sonja in BH Cop 2!

[@walterthefilmhermit7198]

This movie has never had special features on any format except DVD. There is video about the title song. Maybe they can’t put it on other formats for licensing issues

[@midlevelmedia]

Good to know. Doesn't make it feel as bad knowing that then.

[@stephenmkeer]

I love the first part from the get go. The chase sequence and the soundtrack kicking in…..it’s a classic for me. But I was born a long time before you came along.👍♥️

[@jokerswildio]

I actually liked the first one a lot. It had a charm beyond just Eddie Murphy. Also people overlook the fact that he was doing this to solve his good friends murder. The 2nd one was a disappointment. A total recycle of the first. No real motivation for him to be involved other than the cheif getting shot. Best scenes were the Playboy mansion and the opening in Detroit. Kinda too much like one...but the chemistry he had over there seemed more real than the plastic Beverly Hills ones...but I guess that's the point. My grade for BHC...B+ My grade for BHC2...C+, only bc Eddie does make us laugh enjoy to enjoy one viewing.

[@boscodooley8561]

You dont like Taggert and Rosewood? They are super Cops

[@midlevelmedia]

😂😂😂

[@CoolGuy-vh4qv]

Hello ken I do have Beverly Hills cop 2 on dvd should I upgrade for the 4k and I also have the first Beverly Hills cop on dvd

[@midlevelmedia]

If you love the movies, they are definitely great upgrades. But you could also honestly get by with that 3 pack of all three they released a couple years ago on bluray of you want to go cheaper.

I know! Exciting!

[@batman.darthmaul]

I love the first film. I'm not even into comedies but I think Eddie Murphy is hilarious in the first movie. For me, the second and third films are huge steps down and I don't like them at all.

[@midlevelmedia]

That's interesting. Most at least like the 2nd, but hate the 3rd.

[@batman.darthmaul]

​@@midlevelmedia When the second film first came out, it was generally regarded as okay, but definitely not as good as the first. I didn't even like it enough to call it, "okay." It's waaay too slapstick and cartoonish for me.

48-hours was a classic

[@bnchile1]

you might really hate the 3rd one then..... its like the 1st 2 set at an amusement park....

[@midlevelmedia]

That actually sounds pretty fun. Lol

[@scaps2200]

Nice review Ken!

[@otsmovies]

I don’t think the blu had bonuses either. It’s so annoying because these first two movies deserve better. I love them both, but I prefer edgier Eddie Murphy comedy.

[@kevinschmitt4050]

The first movie falls apart in the 3rd act. The height of the action is Eddie Murphy doing a somersault in some dude’s back yard. Tony Scott made the sequel decent.

[@jeffcunningham0389]

😂😂 so u dont like the franchise if u think the first isn’t good and the 2nd is just decent

[@kevinschmitt4050]

Jeffrey Cunningham The masterpiece that is Beverly Hills Cop 3 saves the franchise

Do you like Golden Child?

[@Theomite]

There's a shitton of BTS stuff on this film, included deleted scenes. Without those special features, I'm going to wait until Black Friday discount price, and then I'm gonna use a gift card.

[@midlevelmedia]

I think that's definitely a good idea. Great transfer, but lack of supplemental material makes it a tough sell at 20 bucks

[@constancecherry3996]

Sweet

[@garvisreed2410]

I loved Beverly Hills Cop when it first came out. Seeing it with audiences at the time, the laughter was infectious. I didn't care as much for the 2nd one. I thought the music in the first film fit the film so much better. Fun fact, Beverly Hills Cop was originally slated to star Sylvester Stallone. He dropped out and it was rewritten for Eddie.

[@midlevelmedia]

I have heard that, which made the Cobra Easter egg pretty clever in this one. Lol

[@TotalMeltdown2]

I tried to like this movie after I saw it but the comedy fell flat in most cases and the action was very sparse. The movie just meanders along at a leisurely pace and I didn't care about the plot or the villians. It's not bad. Just okay. Gotta be honest. Maybe I should revisit the first one and see if it's better than the second

[@midlevelmedia]

I felt similar to both. Just ok. I do think the sequel is better paced and more exciting though.

[@alterdres]

2th a nd 3th movie on BD are on my blacklist because the extra's are not taken over from earlier CE DVD's: Part 2: Cast And Crew Interviews Beverly Hills Cop II - The Phenomenon Continues (22:13) Behind The Scenes (7:09) Deleted Scene with introduction from director Tony Scott (3:23) Shakedown music featurette (5:02) Trailer (2:34). Part 3: Cast and Crew Interviews Beverly Hills Cop III - Triple Axel (24:55) Trailer (1:56) That's why i not bought any of two Bluray sets. Only first movie there take over with exeption of Photogallery, but i believe with last boxset there at Music score track and delete scene's to the disc as new extra's. Paramount (Mean released by Paramount/DFW in The Netherlands/Belgium) should make new Beverley Hills Cop Trilogy 4 disc boxset with atleast discs of last set and at missing extra's (include photogallery from the first movie) and new extra's on BD disc. But by prefer make new 3 disc set and updating the discs of 2th and 3th movie with those extra's and more (Like there is making of Part 3 from 16 minutes include bloopers.) including music track for last two movie's also. Lethal Weapon 5 disc boxset from Warner i wait till a lower price too because lack of 2 extra's from 4th movie who are stil missing.

[@midlevelmedia]

Big mistake not adding those features I will agree.
