Why? All the reviews I've seen say it is average, better than 3, but doesn't compare to 1 or 2.
I’ve read fairly good reviews
I just watched 1 and 2 a few mins ago, so good. 3 I skipped over for about 5 mins and lost interest
I like 3 better
It's ok, watching right now.
Wow
Eddie Murphy has been soft for decades. You already know this is "bad".
Eddie was previously known for his edgy humour. It found its appeal with early 90’s audiences, but is too conversational today.
You mean everyone is too fken sensitive nowadays, can’t say something without someone getting offended when it’s just an innocent joke 🤪
@guidedlight: I reckon right, probably wouldn’t have made past season 2, glad Seinfeld lasted that long coz I love the show growing up lol I always binge watch it on Netflix 😂
Wonder how Jerry Springer would have held up today with the new generation 😂
YOUD HAVE TO PAY ME TO WATCH THIS
How much?
I’m billed out at $250 an hour.
@CommuterPolluter: I rather outsource, I’m sure whatever you do, there are people who would do a better job in Philippines or India
@ozbking: It’s true. What I do is get humiliated by unarmed Chinese military patrols.
Lately I’ve been losing a lot of work to the Philippines and India.
@CommuterPolluter: If you makes you feel any better, my hourly rate is more than double that, and I still feel there are far more people overseas who would do a better job than me, for probably less than 1/10th the price.
Just because I can charge that price doesn’t mean there aren’t better options.
Well that was a comment worth reading. I should charge you for the 5 seconds I just wasted.
Ditto.
Hey OP , do I have to also block entertainment as well as streaming to not see these? As I’m still seeing it. Entertainment cover 90% of everything
sorry I have no idea I just copy pasted it from the last post to save mods from adding it.
No dramas thanks anyway
I just read it again.
if helps you need to add Streaming service additions specifically to your tags, then choose to hide it on both Home page and Front page.
kind of confusing because you need to add it, then choose to hide it.
Is it any good?
don’t have Netflix atm.
I don't think the majority of OzB'ers have Netflix after the Turkish holiday was recently cancelled.
it’s got Eddie Murphy in it from the thinking meme.
Oh god, is this how people know people these days, from memes? I feel old.
Just watch it
Just watched it, it's decent if you appreciate the familiarity, but as expected the scenes and dialogue are quite predicable.
Too many great movies end up franchised to death.
It's fun, a little tediously silly, I don't regret seeing it but I probably wont watch it again.
Ok
Sorry but it isn't.
I loved the first and second. Haven't seen the third.
It's the same tired old "coz I'm black?" jokes except they can't even say that on tv anymore so they've rephrased it into the most conservative and politically correct way possible. Humour = 4, favourite actors = 7, story =5
It's familiar and predictable if you watched the previous BHC movies. I personally loved it.
Woo hoo I can't wait. This is one of my fav trilogies of all time so I can't wait to see how the 4th movie goes
it’s available Now! no need to wait. 😃
isn't it a quadroology now or whatever
Yeah but only now when it was my fav it was only a trilogy.. does it go from that to anthology??? I don't remember the sequence after three lol
Usually any film series that gets to 4 sucks so most people never need to learn the Greek word for a collection of four stories.
@AustriaBargain: What are you talking about? The Matrix 4 is brilliant. Cinematic perfection. I only threw up six times.
@MrMcHairyHead: @AustriaBargain And don’t forget the critically acclaimed Deuce Bigalow 4 - Rough and Raw.
Clearly you’re not a HHGTTG fan. Best 5-part trilogy ever!
what do you call starwars then. isn't it like 10 movies long? a decadeology?
also 10 movies long not including the tv episodes. probably like 30 movies long (each episode is like an hour so round up to episode = movie).
i watched this last nite
its a solid 6/10
eddie looks good - everyone else taggart rosewood looks old as dirt
the story is recycled nonsense - kevin bacon is collecting a pay check
the 2ndary story with eddies's daughter is snooze
she's a personality void
joseph gordon levitt was pretty good though - he's funny
paul reiser is there under used
and so is bronson pinchot , its all fan service, down to the 1973 chevy nova
watch it for free then delete the movie coz you'll never want to even think about it again
Oh no. That's a shame the original 3 are classics
This are quite similar to the original 3 I reckon. I liked it. It was a good watch.
Judge Reinhold has the longest ears I’ve ever seen.
Gravity hasn't been that great for his ears.
Seeing his face, I can see where all my recycling bottles have gone to.
kevin bacon is collecting a pay check
I learned recently Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick got screwed by Bernie Madoff. It explains a bit…
I was always going to watch it but now that I know the crappy blue Chevy Nova and Serge is in it I definitely need to watch it
sounds like my thoughts on Coming to America remake
Now that was truly bad.
It’s like no one had the guts to tell Murphy the script was terrible.
Yeah I won't watch it again for sure
Throw in some Shooter McGavin for good measure.
I liked that they got some comedy out of Taggart's age. Taking his pills and the "can't you seen I'm working out" scene.
As far as being deferential to the earlier movies - this was waaaaaaay cleverer than Top Gun Maverick, which just recreated scenes from the first movie. At least in this one it was more a nod to the old, rather than a shot for shot recreation. Although is the mansion the same one from BHC1??
Although is the mansion the same one from BHC1??
I believe the mansion next door is the same one (Victor Maitland's), and was also used in the Schwarzenegger movie Commando.
yep that about sums it up..very predictable. wasnt terrible but certainly not a classic and definitely not something youd ever watch a second time
When you are free and nothing to do.
Good fit.
Sounds like the perfect movie to press play on and then walk out of the room and do something else for 90 minutes.
Just watched it! Enjoyed it for a laugh and relaxing friday night wind down. Havent seen eddie murphy in a film for a while - love his humour and wit.
Directed by an Australian: Mark Molly (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-05/mark-molly-directs-ne…)
I love all the classics but could only watch 30 mins of this one. Rosewood was struggling big time.
Same here. Tired of the same rehash boring movies on Netflix and Prime.
It’s nostalgically watchable. I was entertained, but not amazed. Judge looked like a botoxed Mickey Rourke.
I quite liked it ..just an honest entertrainer like the old classics..no cgi, no stuntmen doing somersaults when hit by a man half their size, no fancy weapons or cars ..very cool
Having said that ..why is this post on Ozb ..where is the rules police :D
Shame detective Todd got killed off in 3. He has some amazing lines and his delivery was priceless.
I love the line “don’t think Axel is makes my d..k itch” is pure gold
Axel Foley : Inspector T, how you doin'?
Inspector Todd : Where the (profanity) you been, Foley? And what the (profanity) is this?
Axel Foley : It's a blue slip.
Inspector Todd : Wh-what in the hell do you need a thousand dollars for?
Axel Foley : A little flash money.
Inspector Todd : Flash money. Well, let's see here - $2,000 for a suit, $200 for a tie, a requisition order for a Ferrari. I'm don't wanna see any more of these blue slips. When am I gonna see some arrest slips?
Axel Foley : I know that you're getting' upset. And I know that you have reason to be upset. But let me tell you something, chief. I am close, I am so close now. I'm closer than I've been, and it-it's makin' me crazy. 'Cause I can smell it, it's in the air. And I smell it. It's
[sniffs]
Axel Foley : I sm- Do you smell it? 'Cause I smell it.
Inspector Todd : All I smell is your bullshit. For six months, I been pourin' money down a bottomless hole. Where the bad guys at the end of this rainbow?
Axel Foley : Wait a second, look. I just thought, that if there was a problem…
Inspector Todd : Don't think, Axel! It makes my dick itch. The truth is, this department has fronted you a fortune. And my ass is on the line. I okayed all this shit!
I was watching 2 today and lost it in this scene. They both deliver their lines so well
Seeing mixed reviews, most enjoyed it though. I am wary, I hoped Coming 2 America was going to be good… there was literally only 1 funny scene in the movie.
I haven't seen the BHC movies in years (easily since the 90s) so even just watching the first 2 would be a nostalgia trip
Watched and wonder now how I get the time back. More remake then anything else, but with older actors
Really enjoyed it. Good nostalgia trip. Not as good as the original two but hard to recreate what they were for the time. Still did a good job at including all the familiar faces, some good action and had some good laughs. Def a rewatch film, unlike quite a few films I've seen this year.
Did you forget there was a third one, or are you saying it was better than the third?
If anything it’s worth watching for Fred North’s helicopter skills. That man is insane. Check his Insta.
Tried to watch it last night, Eddie Murphy aged 20 years max in 40, everyone else did hard time.
They sneaked in progressivism in the first five minutes with the lower N word dialog. Plus the violence shown would not fly in todays world, they would all be locked up for life, the world has changed. The city squalor in Detroit is far worse than depicted.
Hollywood likes to preach but not do what they preach.
The rest of the movie outside the few decent car chases was a drag, the father daughter thing didn’t work for me.
Might finish it on my PC just to watch Balki.
Balki was one of the weakest cast returns. Seemed to have a hard time doing his accent. The property agent was pretty funny though.
To be honest I feel it's more about the audience than the content. Seems a lot of people feel like they have to dislike content from our youths because it seems un-pc to still like it.
Anyway I enjoyed it. Could have been a Trainwreck but I think they did a good job balancing what we expected and what people see as acceptable these days.
i liked it. was good to see the original actors back and music.
story was good.
For some reason when I see and read axel foley it reminds me of that frog reep reeep Song 🤪
It was pretty decent, just don't go in expecting to be wowed. Considering the bunch of crap on Netflix, and what this could of been (Coming to America 2 I'm looking at you!) this was pretty well done. Had laughs, nostalgia, good music flashbacks, classic stunts(check out the list of stunts in the credits), face fillers and did I mention nostalgia? Solid 7/10 and a decent way to spend a few hours. Also they had to get this made now, now god dammit now! Taghert's just hanging in there.
This was pretty decent all things considered! Taggart, although aged, still at least sounded like himself - something weird going on Rosewood/Judge Reinhold though — he actually seemed older. Disappointing that we only got the original trio together for maybe 10 minutes. Otherwise, pretty solid and they could probably do a 5th one with Murphy and Gordon-Levitt. Overall not as good as 1 or 2 but better than the awful third movie.
Is this the same crazy frog Axel F 🤣
'Axel F' was composed for the original Beverley Hills Cop film in 1984.
The imitation of the two-stroke engine sound that Crazy Frog imitated further was from 1997.
So Crazy Frog melded both of those together.
Yes yes yes yes
Who the hell even watches Netflix anymore?
It's just cliché'd slop repeated over and over again, it and AppleTV+ are so substandard that last time I got a free 2 month sub for AppleTV+ from OzB I tried watching a couple of different series and turned them off into the first 20 minutes of the first episode, after that I just let it run out and now know to not even bother with the free subs🙄.
Seriously, Apple TV+ has some amazing series. Dark matter was fantastic, as was Silo. Hijack, Platonic. All great series. They dont release heaps but what they release is typically of excellent quality.
You think Silo was good? That just tells me that what you consider decent script writing, acting and directing is really poor in comparison. If you can't see B grade series and movies for what they are, I feel sorry for you.
The only thing decent to release on AppleTV+ was Severance and even that had it's moments at times🙄.
I just watched this today whilst being sick with the flu and stuck on the couch.. It was great! Its nothing new per-se, but how much innovation can you get outta 'cops and robbers' movies anyway.. I liked how they worked the original characters in, worked in some of the original locations, and played on the 'getting old' thing pretty well. I also thought bringing some new key characters in that aren't B grade cast was a good move.
If you enjoyed the original BHC films for a laugh, and liked the characters in them, then you'll enjoy this movie too. Its a fun action movie at the end of the day.
just noticed I spelt Beverely wrong. it's Beverly.
Watched it today. I enjoyed it. Classic beverly hills cop.
