Just perfect...
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Basically, if you don't like this movie, you must not have been around to see it when it came out. At the time. This was my favorite of the series.Sure, it can be cheesy, and even bad, but that is part of the fun. It is certainly not a work of cinematic genius, but if you are an action buff, you know what I mean.80s and most 90s action franchises, heck, even current franchises are good as a whole, for what the represent to us. Some are worse than others and that is fine. I will always feel nostalgia towards this movie and I watch it for the enjoyment, not to criticize it. You should too.

Is Beverly Hills Cop III better than part 1 or 2? No. Does that make it a bad film. Of course not. There are some good qualities to this film that makes it enjoyable. First the villain was much better than part 2. Using an amusement park as the base location of Axel Foley's investigation gave it a unique feel instead of running all over Beverly Hills again. That we have seen 2 times. Eddie Murphy was his usual Axel Foley self while Judge Reinhold returns as the goofy Billy Rosewood. The biggest problem was audiences were not ready for another Beverly Hills Cop movie and to live up to the previous two was impossible with not having the full cast from the previous films. Overall I have watched this numerous times. Plenty of action and laughs make this an entertaining film.

Although it was panned on release and much hated by fans of the earlier films, I think BEVERLY HILLS COP III is a pretty decent conclusion to the trilogy. It sees Eddie Murphy on typically energetic form as renegade cop Axel Foley, this time investigating a gang of counterfeiters whose base is beneath a popular theme park.The theme park setting allows for plenty of fun moments, including a high-stakes piece of drama that wouldn't be out of place in a Jackie Chan film like MY LUCKY STARS (Murphy's stuntman is made of strong stuff, that's for sure). The plot is just complex enough to sustain the running time, and another feather in the cap is the presence of director John Landis, who knows a thing or do about shooting an entertaining movie.Landis fills his movie with various cameos which keep the viewer entertained amid all the laughs and action chaos. BEVERLY HILLS COP III is no masterpiece but it's considerably more fun than pretty much all the comedies (Murphy's and otherwise) that followed.

Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), while investigating a car theft ring, comes across something much bigger than that: the same men who shot his boss are running a counterfeit money ring out of a theme park in Los Angeles.This film generally gets a bad rap, being accused of being the worst in the series. Even director John Landis has distanced himself, saying that Murphy was going through a rough time in his life and was not giving it everything he had. These may be fair comments, but the film is still better than given credit for.Maybe not as funny as the first two, and maybe Murphy is more toned down, but there is still plenty of fun here from Bronson Pichot and others... not to mention an overall decent script. Even just trying to identify the director cameos is a fun game.
