Action comedy trilogy starring Eddie Murphy.
In 'Beverly Hills Cop' (1984) fast-talking Detroit cop Axel Foley (Murphy), whose regular assignments include tracking down cigarette thieves, begins to investigate unofficially when his friend is killed. When the evidence leads him to Beverly Hills, he runs into trouble with the straight-laced police officers who disapprove of his anarchic methods. However, with the help of fellow cops Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton), he tracks down the killers.
In 'Beverly Hills Cop II' (1987) Foley is called off a credit card case when his Beverly Hills buddies are foiled on a case more suited to his unique skills - that of illegal arms dealer Maxwell Dent (JĆ¼rgen Prochnow).
Finally, in 'Beverly Hills Cop III' (1994) Foley's boss is gunned down in a bungled raid in Detroit and Foley swears to catch the killers. The trail leads him once again to Beverly Hills and to a theme park where counterfeit money is being printed.
