This is Eddie Murphy's first portrayal of Axel Foley, the Detroit "cop from Hell." When Foley tracks a friend's killer back to Southern California, he finds that the ultra-snooty citizens of Beverly Hills are not quite ready for him. Neither are the cops who find themselves involved with a big time cocaine smuggler. Murphy steals the show.

Sometimes sequels fail to measure up to the originals. Eddie Murphy is back and very good as Detroit homicide detective Alex Foley, but the gimmick is getting old.
