As a 90s kid, Netflix’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F made me nostalgic for an action-packed era I never experienced

Axel Foley surrenders to two police officers outside an overturned vehicle as a crowd films him on their phones.

New Netflix movie Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F sees Eddie Murphy reprise his iconic role as misfit cop Axel Foley, who returns to Beverly Hills after his daughter Jane’s (Taylour Paige) life is threatened. Like its predecessors, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F starts in Detroit, Axel’s hometown and it’s not long before he gets up to his old mischievous tricks. It’s clear not much has changed for the spritely detective 30-years later as he gets involved with shootouts, car chases and police pursuits.

In addition to a classic soundtrack with the theme tune Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer that everyone remembers to this day, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F director Mark Molloy brought back some of the original cast to capture even more of the legacy sequel magic, including John Ashton as Taggart, Judge Reinhold as Rosewood, Paul Reiser as Jeffrey and Bronson Pinchot as Serge, who join Axel to crack a drug conspiracy.
