Je besser die Regie, desto schlechter das Drehbuch. Vor allem der Versuch, Axel, Taggart und Rosewood in Situationen zu schicken, die sich letztes Mal bewährt haben, war ziemlich krampfhaft. Einerseits schienen die Autoren zu wollen, dass Beverly Hills Cop II ein größerer Krimi ist als der erste Film, andererseits wollten sie auch, dass er komödiantischer ist... Aber dieses seltene Gleichgewicht, das mir zuvor gefallen hat, haben sie nicht ganz gefunden.

Axel's second outing stays true to the Hollywood strategy that a proper sequel must have more of everything. It's a shame that it's true to that strategy even in the significant loss of fun.

The sequel much more resembles a typical American big-budget blockbuster full of fast cars, nightclubs, fast music, beautiful women, and shots of a city at sunset, but unlike its predecessor, it is at least heading somewhere. Tony Scott doesn't try to come up with something new and instead serves us a healthy and tolerable dose of true 80s America with all the trimmings. The action is surprisingly often confusing and chaotic (mainly due to the editing), but at least there is no shortage of it. Eddie Murphy delivers even more wisecracks than before, and it suits him much better. The track “Shakedown” is excellent, it oozes nostalgia. This cop tries too hard to be cool, and essentially, it doesn't really matter at all.

I don’t know, but I don’t see any significant drop in quality in the second installment with Axel Foley as the lead. The first film had a more relaxed pace, which I largely agree with. Director Tony Scott definitely stepped on the gas, so this 1987 sequel feels more action-packed at first glance. And I certainly didn’t mind that... The main plus, however, is the comedic aspect of the film. Fortunately, it didn’t suffer any major setbacks, so you’ll find plenty of genuine laughs here. Simply put, the Foley-Rosewood-Taggart trio never disappoints. The villains are also quite memorable (with a standout Brigitte Nielsen), and the finale is satisfying in every way. Yes, I’ll definitely make time for this one again in the future. Young Eddie Murphy, with his talkativeness, had no acting competition in his time. I give it a 7.5/10.

Yeah, this is an '80s hit. The first installment didn't impress me, but Tony Scott truly understood how to make an action film in the 80s, infused it with his drive, and just let the film flow. He succeeded, creating a sharp ride where Eddie Murphy fully showcases his abilities and is truly entertaining. Plus, he's got good pitchers on hand.
