HILARIOUS!| BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984) | MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@robsquadmoviereactions]

We had so much fun with this movie thank you guys so much for suggesting it! We haven’t laughed this hard in awhile 😂💜

[@breakingames7772]

I met the police captain a few times here in Detroit....he was never an actor and was really a cop in Detroit. And that's exactly how he talked

Beverly Hills cop 2 is my favorite in the series! One of the few times the sequel is as good or better than the original!

Hey guys. Great reaction today. This is such a classic. Since you said you were such fans of Eddie, have you ever seen his movie called "The Golden Child?". It's hilarious. You'd love that one too. 😃

[@sweatd0g]

Great reactions! You guys got to see the younger Eddie when he was not kid-friendly at all. If you haven't seen them, you should see his first film, "48 Hours", and "Trading Places". Young Eddie was hilarious!

[@jacksmith4460]

48 hrs and Another 48 hrs , both great films, perfect Buddy cop films, the first one might be the best cop film ever, Nolti and Murphy are too good as a duo

I agree - and was going to suggest it as well. But there are those few scenes that are SO racist - I don't know how comfortable I am in them watching it. They're both so sweet. I don't want them watching something that I know at one point will offend them. But the REST of the movie is so awesome...........

I think you guys would really enjoy Trading Places. It's one of my faves. Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis.

[@jessicamahoney4610]

Completely agree!

[@thomasgraham1138]

Before he did this movie... Eddie was in another darker police drama called 48 Hrs with Nick Nolte.... a dramatic roll which is underrated for him and then he was in Trading Places with Dan Ackroid and Jaimie Lee Curtis... a straight up comedy.... I think you would enjoy both of them....

[@shariwelch8760]

Every time someone mentions 48 Hours, all I think of is Eddie singing Roxanne in his jail cell 😂

48 Hours was an amazing movie. It’s definitely worth a watch.

Raw hadn’t happened yet but I’m not sure when the actual performance was. I always thought it was because he had just made up that story about Michael Jackson,I don’t know how I never thought of the other reference. They both make sense,I have no idea which one is true now

[@karadavis3590]

Beverly Hills Cop 2 is great also. It shows the growth in the friendship of Foley with the cops in Beverly Hills. The guy that played Billy is Judge Rhinhold & he's often a secondary character in many of the 80s movies like Fast Times At Ridgemont High with Sean Penn.

[@jedimastercaeli]

Yep. Also, in the Santa Clause movies.

[@alucard624]

2 is just as good as the first one IMO. Glad they showed the friendship between Axel, Billy, Taggart, and Bogomil and what Axel was willing to do in regards helping them out.

[@sherrybrown5295]

I actually like Beverly Hills Cop 2 better.

[@mikesavage2114]

One of the rare instances where the sequel is better than the original.

[@dougdougw]

@@mikesavage2114 It really isn't. It's entertaining, but it lacks the charm and energy of the original. And Billy is basically a completely different character.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

This was the movie that put Eddie Murphy on the map as far as being a comedy box office star. After this, we'd get "Coming To America", "The Golden Child" and not one but two sequels to "Beverly Hills Cop" and all that was just for openers!

[@buckbuchanan4902]

48 hours and Trading Places were both comedy gold, and came before Beverly Hills Cop. He was already "on the map as far as being a comedy box office star" before this movie ever came out.

Golden child! ❤️ bizarre movie though!

[@tgcrowson]

This movie was huuuuge in the UK when it came out. The theme music went to the top of the charts and was the soundtrack to the summer of 85. Eddie Murphy became an instant film comedy legend. It takes me back to my 20s in the 80s.

[@peteramaranth85]

85 you say that's when I was born no wonder I love this movie

[@themightierpencil]

I had no idea this movie was so huge in the UK, that's awesome! (I was 4 when this movie came out but I basically grew up with it)

[@fayesouthall6604]

Same age as you I guess. It was enormous.

[@Texy88]

Eddie Murphy’s “supercop” speech was a real test for the other actors in keeping their composure (even director Martin Brest struggled not to laugh out loud). If you look carefully, John Ashton (Taggart) in this scene is actually laughing when he puts his face in his hand!

[@tbglover]

You guys need to watch Trading Places which stars Eddie Murphy. There are some other films of his that you may not have seen but if you haven't seen that one it is a must watch.

[@fayesouthall6604]

It’s a terrific film but it aged.

[@NJbakintheday]

Glad y'all enjoyed this one! Have y'all seen Coming To America? If not, you gotta react to it here. It's truly an iconic movie. I don't know a single person who doesn't love it. Oh... but before you see Coming To America, you have to see Trading Places. There's a specific reason why, but I won't spoil it.

[@TechnicallyTexan]

OMG!!!! YEEEES! Trading Places first!!! Y’all, PLEASE do that one. Stars Dan Ackroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis! Even the actor who played the principal in The Breakfast Club is in it! Remember him? “You mess with the bull, young man. You’ll get the horns.” LOL!!

Even Beverly Hill Cop 2 is funny. Especially the Billy parts. Gotta watch it But honestly I think Trading Places is one of his best

[@LMmccallL57]

Guys, almost every song in this movie has been suggested to you. The one during the semi truck chase scene is "Neutron Dance" by *The Pointer Sisters* , "Stir It Up" by *Patti LaBelle* is playing as he drives downtown Beverly Hills, (her song"New Attitude" is also featured) the song Jordan said was _fire_ is called "Axle F" as in Eddie's character, Axle Foley by *Harold Faltermeyer* , the song "Nasty Girl", playing in the strip club is by one of Prince's groups called *Vanity 6* . Stuffing anything into a tailpipe that completely closes it, blocks the air flow and keeps the engine from running. The guy was "sizing him up" because he found him attractive. That was actor Bronson Pinchot (Pincho) who played Balki on the '80s comedy "Perfect Strangers", and yes, that was Damon Wayans of "My Wife and Kids", "In Living Color" and more. Glad you enjoyed one of my favorites. 🙂 Getting back to a serious movie, try "Duel" starring *Dennis Weaver* . Edge of your seat suspense. I've seen it several times and it still tangles all my emotions and I just want to hug the main character. ☹️

[@theresatrapp4532]

Growing up in the Detroit Metro area, this movie was a Detroit favorite. Couple fun facts.....the guy who plays his boss, Gil Hill, was an actual Detroit Captain (might have been Chief, I cant remember), and was still in the force after the movie. He later was elected to Detroit City council. Also, the t shirt Eddie Murphy wears when he first gets to Beverly Hills says Mumford Athletic Dept, Mumford high school is an actual school in Detroit. This movie definitely did some good advertising for Detroit!! ❤️ ❤️ 🧡

The red leather suits he laughed at when he first arrived to Beverly Hills were similar in style to what he wore in his 1983 Delirious stand-up routine (plain red) and his 1987 Raw routine (purple, but more flourished, like the red suits in the movie).

The bananas in the tail pipe cause the exhaust fumes to back up into the engine, causing the engine to stall out from lack of the clean air. Love that you guys are getting to the real Eddie Murphy before he became disneyfied. Check out Beverly Hills Cop 2, Trading Places, Coming to America, 48 Hours, Another 48 Hours, and the Golden Child. He also has two stand up routines called Delirious and Raw, where he is wearing leather suits similar to the two suits you see him walk by and laugh at in the beginning of the movie.

Thank you! Been scrolling to find somebody that could remind me!

[@theylied1776]

Okay, this movie was originally written for Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester Stallone was not allowed to change the script so, he turned it down. The second choice was Eddie Murphy. But Eddie Murphy had to turn down Ghostbusters in order to do Beverly Hills Cop. In 1984 the two biggest movies were Purple Rain and Beverly Hills Cop. The best selling album was Thriller by Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan had just entered the NBA. 1984 changed America.

[@Yora21]

That's the one case where turning down Ghostbusters was clearly the right choice.

[@vinyllpreviews9462]

Stallone went on to make Cobra based off this. Beverly Hills cop was a comedy, he thought it should be serious. So he made Cobra. So if you wonder what Beverly Hills cop would have been like with Stallone, check out Cobra.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

You're right about Beverley hills cop. But purple rain is nowhere near top of the list for biggest films of 84. Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, karate kid, romancing the stone, footloose and police academy was all was much higher up the list. Still, purple rain was good. I love Morris day and the time. Jungle love is one of my favourite songs for sure. And was thriller still the best selling album two years after its release? That's good going.

[@Yora21]

@@TheRetroManRandySavage Forget about "Golden Age of Hollywood" somewhere in the early years of movie making. American films from the late 70s to late 80s is where timeless classics came out nearly every week.

It’s hard to understand how big Eddie Murphy was in the 1980’s. When he did stand up he sold out stadiums. As if he was AC/DC or Queen. His stand up was so popular they filmed it and released it in movie theaters as EDDIE MURPHY RAW. It was crazy. I think the other movies he did back then that you both would absolutely love is TRADING PLACES and COMING TO AMERICA. Great reaction!

A banana in the tailpipe was a good way to disable a car. Car engines have to breath. They take in clean air, mix it with gas and burned gasses (Exhaust) comes out the tailpipe. If you plug up the pipe the exhaust will back up and the engine cant run properly. The car stops. A old trick learned back in the streets of Chicago.

[@maingun07]

It's also the exact reason why a clogged catalytic converter can make a car run poorly.

Mythbusters actually busted this myth. Theoretically you could stall an engine by blocking the tailpipe, but it takes a lot more to get it to stick in place.

[@caseymoe816]

Great pick! Enjoyable as always. Glad you liked it. Eddie Murphy’s very first movie was “48 Hrs,” which is really good, too. You should definitely check it out. It’s more dramatic and more violent than this, but he more than holds his own as a dramatic actor. And he still manages to add comedic moments. From his very first scene, he has commanded the screen in every movie he’s ever been in. “Trading Places” should be next and is also very funny. You must watch it before “Coming To America” as it references TP and then you’ll get the joke. Keep up the great work! You guys always make me smile!

[@brucechmiel7964]

So this movie had some scenes that was really hard for the actors to stay in character. The art gallery scene with Serg Eddie had no idea what kind of accent he would be using and he just lost it. You can see in the take they used he keeps licking his lips cause he's desperately trying to keep himself from laughing. In the supercops scene. Billy is turning bright red cause he is pinching himself in the leg trying to stay focused. Taggert is keeping his head down holding his face trying to keep it together. The actor that plays the watch commander in Detroit is a real cop after a short interview and watching him chew someone out the director offered him the role.

I grew up in the 80’s & I’ve been loving the trips down memory lane with all your reactions. Love Eddie too…. I grew up with 80’s Eddie which was a lot more M rated than his PG 90’s characters but he’s ALWAYS SO MUCH FUN!!!!! 🤗💖

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Another great comedy of that era is Ferris Buellers Day Off.

[@bradsullivan2495]

The t-shirt he wears throughout the movie "Mumford Phys Ed" was from a local Detroit high school. After the movie became a hit, the school sold plenty of those shirts. The reason that particular school was chosen was because one of the producers went there.

[@laurabailey1054]

I had one of those shirts! I live 45 min from Detroit up the 401. I miss day trips to Detroit in the 80’s

[@DougWilliams06]

Jerry Bruckheimer went to Mumford.

When Eddie Murphy was young there was a time when he was the biggest star on the planet. He ended up hosting Saturday Night Live while he was still a working member on the cast of Saturday night live. He had two hour long standup performances. The first was delirious that he did at age 21. The second a few years later was called raw. Both are absolutely hilarious and not kid friendly. Coming to America will still be a good movie 200 years from now. 48 hours, boomerang, trading places and Beverly Hills cop two are classics also. I love your reactions! I look forward to seeing your reactions as you explore the early part of Eddie Murphy’s career!

[@hotrod7868]

Fletch with Chevy Chase is a great one to see. He plays multiple ppl too.

[@DANIGAL101]

Yay! I love this movie. Can’t believe you guys haven’t seen this. It’s hilarious and a classic. Can’t wait

[@wompa70]

"That boy ain't right." Love the shirt, Amber. Walk around like you own the place and the only person that will challenge you is the actual owner. I enjoyed all three of these movies.

[@SIXX2772]

Back when it was real...no CGI stunts love it

[@aaronbarlow4376]

An 80s classic. I'm old but the tradeoff is that I got to grow up in the 80s and 90s with some of the best movies of all time. Movies back then were creative and pure. Nowadays often they're derivative and have a manufacturing line feel, not all but many. We had awesome music and movies in the 80s and 90s.

[@lindseycarter579]

My brother and I watched this almost every weekend! I can still almost say each line word for word. Such a great movie!!!

[@poeha007]

This still is one of my favorite movies. The whole soundtrack to this movie is packed wih great tunes. Stir It Up by Patti LaBelle is my personal favorite. Great, great, great reaction, guys. Other great Eddie Murphy movies are 48 Hours, Another 48 Hours, Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop 2 ("Axwell"), Trading Places and for some more serious level: Metro.

[@chrispruett81]

I think when he said the Cigarettes are popular with the kids... It might have been the 80's joke (In the 80's as a kid like me) You could buy candy cigarettes off the Ice Cream Truck... Very popular!! There were two kinds.. one was a mint flavored candy cigarette pack that you eat... and you could also buy a pack of Cigarette gum! Facts.. 80's were wild!! lmao

[@SIXX2772]

Not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe lol...Harlem Nights is an Eddie Murphy must, has all the greats in it.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Eddie is hilarious, but his comedy is slick, witty, and smart. He pays attention to detail so well and uses it to get the bad guys. Nice reaction guys! First opening song was Glenn Frey "The Heat Is On." Then "Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters. I assume you'll be watching Part 2 and 3 in the future? The soundtrack is a banger Jordan: "Stir It Up" by Joss Stone, "Don't Get Stopped In Beverly Hills" by Shalamar, "Emergency" by Rockie Robbins, "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle, "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer, "Gratitude" by Danny Elfman, "Rock N' Roll Me Again" by The System, "Do You Really (Want My Love?) by Junior and "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6.

[@trinkab]

Eddie Murphy was known for his more adult humor (Delirious) and he swore A LOT. When he started doing things that were more.. kid friendly like Nutty Professor and Dr. Doolittle, I could hardly believe it.

[@caseymoe816]

Flew right over Jay & Amber’s head but the movie references his Delirious days when he’s walking down the street and starts laughing at the two guys wearing his leathers from that comedy tour. Good touch.

[@trinkab]

@@caseymoe816 indeed!

[@sableghost]

One of the underrated things about this movie is how they used the soundtrack to juices the scenes.

[@Shrykespeare]

Right around (or right after) Eddie was a regular on Saturday Night Love is when he started his movie career. While known mostly for that and for his hilarious stand-up shows, and well before he became a staple of wacky comedies like Norbit, The Nutty Professor, and Daddy Day Care, he was one of the top cinematic draws. In fact, other than Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'm not sure there was a bigger star in the U.S. His first big hit was a cop drama called 48 HRS., and after BHC (which spawned two sequels), he did a mystical comedy drama called The Golden Child, a crime comedy called Harlem Nights (with Richard Pryor), and comedy Coming To America.

[@maukasara808]

I am so there for this. I watched this when I was your age. I was bad ass then and now. I love movies that make me this happy. So glad y’all love it.

[@cappaman73]

One of my fav moves of all time. See it countless times. Too funny, glad you both liked it.

[@mickeymayfield4192]

Eddie was hilarious back in the day

[@charlesallen2306]

This has a great sound track! You should definitely watch 48 Hours too. Another great Eddie Murphy movie, action comedy with great music

[@stretch4872]

I was so thrilled when I saw you were reacting to this. It has you two written all over it. Action for J and some tenderness and great comedy for Amber. I can see her as Billy, by the book and total faith in goodness winning the day. This was the perfect way to end my day. I can chuckle myself off to sleep and maybe have happier dreams for a change. Keep on smiling y'all. Catch you next time.

[@JamesDavis-sh9gh]

One of the bad guys at 4:40 on the left was Jonathan Banks from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hard to believe but that's him.

[@Khevynn979]

sometimes I forget how yong you guys are as this is what I grew up on. Glad you are able to get the enjoyment of it and how the movies transcend generations. Love your channel.

[@ColoradoGrami]

Another great Eddie Murphy movie is "The Golden Child". 💕 And, yes, stuffing the bananas up the tail pipe choked the exhaust & killed the engine. BTW J, props on your editing. I know I forget just how good you make it for us. Thank you!!💖

[@jackieknows9129]

Eddie Murphy was in the movie version of the musical Dream girls that also starred Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. He was amazing in the film and sang as well. You might enjoy the film sometime.

[@lirpa2300]

Jimmy got SOULLLL....LOL!!!

[@marybaillie8907]

So glad you enjoyed Bevey Hills Cop. I had a feeling you might watch it after you reacted to "The Heat Is On" by Glen Fry. Eddie Murphy is so funny and his laugh just cracks me up. Glad you both had lots of laughs. Great movie 🎬. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jamesmorrison7692]

This reaction was great! You all need to realize how much of a monster hit movie this was in 1984. It still holds up as a great comedy/action movie, and one of Eddie Murphy's best. Great job you guys! Loved it!!

[@watchreadplayretro]

Actors from Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Stranger Things etc etc so much fun to recognise them back then in this! One of my favs from back in the day Great reaction guys!

[@newmoon766]

I am a white, 63 year old woman, and am absolutely loving revisiting this film with you guys. It's a classic gem. So happy that you are getting to enjoy it.
