Beverly Hills Cop III
1994
*½
Director: John Landis
Cast: Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, Theresa Randle, Hector Elizondo
The third film in the series offers less humour and more action than parts I and II, but it seems that the seven year hiatus wasn't enough to write a decent screenplay. Detroit detective Axel Foley follows his boss' killer to a theme park in, surprise, Beverly Hills, where he discovers a secret counterfeit money operation. The premise is utterly stupid and the action scenes are by and large terrible. The top notch security guards at Wonder World are totally useless. They couldn't hit a ferris wheel with a bazooka if they were standing next to it.
