That song, that scene that everyone remembers



The synthesizer sound of the movie theme song "Axel F", Eddie Murphy's big smile and OK Signs, a car chase between a truck and a police car, a banana in the exhaust port of a car, and Michael Jackson. jacket, the surfer cut of a female friend...When I was asked to write the manuscript for ``Beverly Hills Cop'' (1984), those scenes instantly came back to my mind and I was thrilled. When you hear the word ``Beverly Hills Cop,'' one of these is bound to pop into the mind of movie fans over a certain age. This is a monumental 80's action comedy that is etched into our memories.


"Axel F"


Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is trying to sell a large truckload of cigarettes to a pair of men in a Detroit alley. Just as negotiations reach a final stage, a police car arrives and a car chase between a large truck and a police car begins in the streets of Detroit. In reality, Axel is a detective, and everything was a decoy investigation set up by Axel. Axel is severely scolded by his boss, Inspector Todd (Gilbert R. Hill), and sentenced to probation. When he returns home, his childhood friend Mikey (James Russo) is waiting for him with an unfamiliar German bond. With the help of their mutual friend Jenny (Lisa Eilbacher), he works as a security worker in Beverly Hills. Mikey is killed by someone, and Axel heads to Beverly Hills to find the culprit.


This movie was a huge hit. It earned approximately $316 million worldwide. It was the number one movie at the box office when it was released in 1984. It currently ranks 47th in all-time box office results after accounting for inflation. This is quite an amazing record. However, writing such a record may not be of much interest to the audience. This is because the audience knows the true fun and awesomeness of this movie.
