i remember wait in line on may 25 and 1987 and open day and when i be 14 year old eagerly anticipate this movie . five minute into the movie my heart sank . this movie be the ultimate glossy and high power empty comedy or action film . even at age 14 and i could tell this one stunk . here be some of the reason i felt this way . 1. eddie murphy be bitter and angry throughout the movie . there be no joy in this performance . he constantly yell and scream at everybody . think back to the first movie when he pretend to be gay in order to get into the hotel buffet . he use his wit and intelligence to get himself through the gate . in bvc ii he yell and insult everyone who dare to get in his way . 2. when do axl become fishing buddy with ronny cox . 3. the character billy rosewood becomes a gun nut for no real reason other than the writer think it would be a funny direction to take the character . this movie could have generate a simple laugh by have axl still drive around in his old blue chevy nova . but no and he only show drive a ferrari and bmw ( . ) convertible .
