Please, Dear God no. I know we aren't exactly best of friends and I haven't been to church in what seems like an eternity but do I (do we) deserve this kind of punishment? Brett Ratner directing a fourth BEVERLY HILLS cop movie? Seriously? Back in 1994, I went to see a sneak preview of SPEED and afterwards they told us we could stick around and see BEVERLY HILLS COP 3 for free. And to borrow a line from whatever hacky comedian invented it, the ticket was free and I still wanted my money back. It still goes down as one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Now with KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL we've seen how hard it is to make a fourth movie. But that at least had the benefit of Steven Spielberg directing. Apparently Murphy went to Paramount pitching an idea for a fourth installment and suggested Ratner direct. No word on what shenanigans Axel Foley would find himself in this time but the mere thought of it makes my head throb. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh on BEVERLY HILLS COP 4. Perhaps Ratner will blossom into a modern day James Cameron. Perhaps Eddie Murphy still has something besides NORBIT and MEET DAVE left in his arsenal. Perhaps. But I doubt it.

Extra Tidbit: Paramount is hoping to begin filming in 2009 for a 2010 release date.

After seeing Indy 4 and Rambo this week, I'm wondering why studios have the need to revive series from the past 2 decades (Rocky, Die Hard, etc). While to some degree I enjoyed these long-after sequels, most of them are unnecessary and don't live up to the originals. BHC isn't nearly as good as any of these series, so count me out. Eddie Murphey should just thank his lucky stars they're planning more shrek sequals, otherwise he'd already been forgotten by the public.

KC , considering Indy 4 didn't just jump a shark but a killer whale , i'm sure we'll get to see B4 jump a humpback whale , this is prob the worst idea in quite some time , the third one was not only horrendous , but i didn't even giggle mildly , not even once .

At least there was good reason to bring back Indy , and people were clamoring for at least one more installment , was. there some contingent of movie geek sadists that were secretly hoping for a 4th Beverly Hills Cop .


I think there was only about 10 people that wanted a 4th one , and Murphy and Ratner are included in that total .

I'll be waiting for the Trading Places part 2 ( which would mean they are back in their original places ) and Yet another 48 hours announcements .

Somehow no matter his talent level , he's just not funny anymore , annoying but not funny , but he was perfect for the 80s .

Stop bitching. The writers on this site always give their opinions about movies on this site. Mike was just referencing Indy 4 as being the fourth in a series and didn't even say it was bad. I also have my issues with some of the writers on this site from time to time, but Mike Sampson is top notch.

However, it is obvious that you are pretty touchy about Indiana Jones, but there's a whole other strike back column for us to give our opinion about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...so keep your opinion on THAT movie out the strike back at hand.

I actually like the idea of a BH4, I didn't think BH3 was all that bad despite what most people think. I still believe in Eddie Murphy and I think if he is involved in a project he actually cares about then I think he has plenty left in him. However, Brett Ratner? Immediately my interest leaves a movie once I hear the name of that wankstain and it is destined to fail. It's a shame Martin Brest's last effort was Gigli otherwise it would have been nice for him to come back as he did make some great movies
