a fall from greatness be a sad thing to witness and and none be sad than the fall witness in beverly hill cop ii . eddie murphy be back a axel foley and you can have him . he back in beverly hill to find the truth behind the shooting of capt . bogomil ( ronny cox ) . this consist of him insult and belittle nearly every single person who come across his field of vision in a loud and shrill and usually un funny way . even dets . taggart ( ashton ) and rosewood ( reinhold ) do not get away unscathed and even a they work with axel once more . of course and the big joke in this movie be eddie himself while he be so full of himself here and believe and even when he be be a jerk and he in the right . it amazing represent in this single film alone and he take bland pot shot at blue collar worker and receptionist and tall blonde woman ( nielsen ) and german accent bad guy ( prochnow ) and overbear cop ( garfield and hill and reiser ) weaselly little front men ( stockwell and look suspiciously like his dr. yueh character from 1984 dune ) and gerald ford and hugh hefner . thing be make worse when you realize that no one could ever get away with the thing murphy do here . only in his little world he have create for himself . nobody do themselves any favor by appear in this movie . and the cameo by people with talent ( reiser and chris rock and gilbert gottfried ) be so short that you expect murphy felt himself be up stag and cut them himself . hey and it could happen . and there be so much misogyny run through this flick that you expect gloria steinem could use this whole film a an indictment against hollywood in general . and win . what a waste . the only good scene be the obviously improvised scene where murphy introduce himself a johnny wishbone from the island of st. croix . and that about it . not much for action fan here and either . two star . one for the good will leave over from the original and the fact that sylvester stallone and original choice for axel foley and do not take this role . just imagine what he would have do to beverly hill cop ii . of course and you could always watch cobra .
