– Three men steal a truck and speed away from a pier while being chased by armed men in other vehicles; one car spins out and crashes catching fire, many police cars join the chase and are struck and disabled and the truck slams through a security fence and then through the front of a house as many armed men open fire on the truck and its occupants, who shoot back and we see several men struck with blood spurting; one man falls over a balcony after being shot, one man is knocked out with a heavy vase being broken over his head (we see blood on the floor under his head), a man shoots at a woman and another man jumps in the way of the bullet and struck in the shoulder (we see blood) and one man is shot in the head and falls dead with a bloody wound visible. Several armed men in a large car speed next to another vehicle and open fire on the two people inside; the driver of the second vehicle speeds away and backs through traffic hitting other cars while the first men continue to shoot at them; many cars are struck and the driver and passenger get out of the car and shoot at the attackers hitting a few and one is shot into the back and another in the chest (blood spurts).
A woman in her car in a parking garage is trapped when a truck backs into her and pushes her over the ledge where the car dangles from a cable and swings as she screams and glass shatters (we see her unharmed later). A man in the backseat of a car holds a gun to a woman’s head and the scene ends; we later see her handcuffed and in a chair being questioned by a man that threatens her.
Several men with guns rummage through the contents of a locker room stealing jewelry and other valuables; other armed men enter the room and gunfire is exchanged, the robbers leave and the two other men commandeer a city snowplow truck to chase them through the city causing immeasurable damage to cars and structures (including portable toilets) and we see people screaming and scattering while the robbers shoot at the men in the truck. Two men rummage through a man’s office and another man enters the room pretending to help; when he is discovered, he sprays the men with a fire extinguisher and rushes out leaving the men inside to break a window to get out and they chase him. Two men are surrounded by many armed police and handcuffed while drugs appear to be found in the trunk of their car; the men are tasered and they collapse. A man stands on a table to look into an air duct thinking that a man has crawled away through it and he is struck in the back with a chair and lands hard on the table knocking himself unconscious. A man watching activity at a port is held at gunpoint by two men with high-powered weapons as the scene ends. Many men in a bar are shown with a variety of sizes of guns and one man holds a gun on a man as he yells at him and tells him to leave. A man bound, bruised, and bloody after apparent beatings is discovered by two other men that overpower the men holding him.
A man takes off in a helicopter and struggles to right it as it dips and flies out of control off a roof and along a crowded street running into cars and being chased by a man in a car that shoots at the helicopter and the two men inside it; the helicopter crashes after the rudder is shot off causing a lot of damage in a golf course and the pilot and passenger get out seemingly unharmed. A man steals a traffic officer’s vehicle and speeds away as the officer clings to the side of the vehicle spraying the man with pepper spray; the man swerves throwing the officer off and onto the ground while he is chased through a busy shopping area causing people to jump out of the way and scream, and crashes, tipping the vehicle over on a sidewalk where two officers hold him at gunpoint and handcuff him.

A man is suspended from the police force without pay. A woman confronts a man about trying to “read” her. A man teases another man by insisting that there is a Black hockey league in Canada, and when the other man says that he didn’t think he would be interested in hockey, he accuses him of making racial assumptions. A man is shown with several prescription vials on his desk and he argues with his wife on the phone about taking medication for thyroid and liver ailments. A man asks another man if he defecated when he was being threatened by another man and that he heard a “squirt-ish noise.”

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F MESSAGE

– Family can be complicated.

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
