Great Eddie Murphy movies all in one These movies were some of the most popular films of their time. A movie fact was that Sylvester Stallone was originally supposed to play Eddie's part, I'm am glad that Sly chose not to be in it. BHC 1 and 2 are my favorites but they all are a great addition to my collection.
Beverly Hills Cop Together I love all three of the BHC movies, and to have them all together is fantastic. The movies are great, all together in one place so no needing to go hunting for a different DVD to see the movie.
I would recommend this to anyone who is a Eddie Murphy fan and a BHC fan too.
Great Original, Classic Sequel, Disappointing Trilogy Bevery Hills Cop is honestly in some ways the perfect evaulation of Eddie Murphy's career. The first Beverly Hills Cop is early Eddie Murphy in that it's mostly comedy based so Eddie's comedy keeps the movie entertaining while the storyline was well written with various stories surrounding Axel Foley being told (getting revenge for his friend, earning the trust of the Billy & Bogamil & Tagard)...just a classic movie here. The second movie is my personal favorite & shows Eddie in a more diverse role as this one is not only funny but also filled with more action than the previous movie with so many funny moments such as him stealing the house & at the Playboy mansion. While the first two movies were classic, the third one displays the current direction of Eddie's career in that this third movie was a big complete disappointment & huge downfall from the first two. Right from the start, only Axel & Billy return in this one with them bring back Serge from the first movie for a minor role, the story had plotholes, and all the humor along with drama & action just didn't mix well here...like Foley's Detroit Chief being killed off but expecting us to laugh right afterwards unlike how the shootings were in the first two movies that set the right mood & I just thought the acting was bad with Thersa Randle (Axel's love interest) & besides the part with Axel trying to rescue the kids from the malfunctioning ride, the action was really lackluster & wasn't any point where you thought "he's really in trouble now." In the end, the first two movies were classics while the third one was just a bad installment of the now trilogy to the point where Eddie himself admitted it years later. However, it's going to be cheaper to get all three of these movies together than buying them seperately or getting that "complete line up" boxset so I recommend.
bananas in tailpipes This is currently the most economical way to get the three Beverly Hills Cop movies, and of course you already know that each one of these films is a brilliant movie and Eddie Murphy stays on par for the character of Axel Foley all the way through. The third one sort of starts to stray but it's still just as fun as the first two, so no worries. So if you're willing to put up with just the single case for all three of these marvelous films, get this version.
In Case You're Wondering... Just to let you know that this 3-pack contains the DVDs as they were originally released, just at a cheaper price and all in one case. The special features such as the commentaries and documentaries and trailers are all here in this just more modestly priced. The films are all in widescreen as well, in case you're wondering.
So if you have been looking for the cheapest way to own these three flicks, this is the way to go.
