Beverly Hills Cop 4.
May. 29, 2008
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.

Hell, I'm up for Lethal Weapon 5!!! Bring back Murtau and Riggs!!!! Lord knows Mel could use some good press, and Danny could probably use the paycheck.

NO, NO, NO, NO NO. Even the first doesn't hold up well.
Hmmm
I'm half-convinced someone (his agent? publicist?) attachs his name to all these movies completely for publicity-sake.

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

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 .
holy shit!!!
And I think Ratner is a decent choice. His Rush Hour movies are basically the same in terms of the movie's tone. Ratner will do fine.

stop with the caps retard
Btw, I have 0 expectations for this movie, it'll probably be bad because Ratner is aweful and Murphy has no more edge, but if they pull it off, hats off.

Yeah Why not?
I always liked the movies where Eddie didn't play all the characters and wore fat suits.

And, honestly, I was really surprised: it's actually WORSE than I'd remembered...which is fairly impressive, considering I'd remembered it being a steaming pile of $#!+.

If this movie news continues, I fully expect Jackie Chan to be involved, or some other foreign actor to team with Axel Foley.

2--Eddie Murphy doing something a bit more "serious" than, say, NORBIT is a good thing.
3--Maybe this will be good!
God, it's a good thing JoBlo.com has such good movie news scoops - the amounts of distracting (and often pointless) opinions and junk that get posted on here are really quite annoying.
