The 1988 sequel to one of the most successful movies of all time finds Eddie Murphy reprising his role as Detroit police detective Axel Foley, and once again playing a fish out of water as he tries to solve a series of heists in Beverly Hills that may be connected to the attempted murder of his friend, a Beverly Hills police captain (Ronny Cox). Constructed in a much flashier and faster-paced visual style than the first film, the song still remains the same as Foley tries to keep his job in Detroit while solving crimes for the Beverly Hills cops. Murphy again makes the most of culture shock for comic effect, and the easy rapport between Murphy and Billy (Judge Reinhold), now a cheerfully over the top Rambo-esque figure, is still the centerpiece of this series. While not the least bit original, director Tony Scott (Crimson Tide, Top Gun) puts his own stamp on this installment and keeps the action and the laughs coming. --Robert Lane

Beverly Hills Cop II January 21, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Detroit cop Axel Foley is watching the news on TV when the reporter tells a story that Axel's friend, Beverly Hills police Captain Andrew Bogomil, has been shot by a tall woman. Axel heads out to Beverly Hills to visit Bogomil in the hospital, and this is where Axel is reunited with Bogomil's daughter Jan Bogomil. Axel is also reunited with Detective Billy Rosewood and Sergeant John Taggart. Billy and Taggart decide to let Axel help them find the woman who tried to kill Bogomil, even though abusive police chief Harold Lutz has been deliberately trying to find a reason to fire Billy and Taggart. Axel, Billy, and Taggart soon discover that the alphabet robberies, a series of robberies that have been going on in the area, are masterminded by weapons kingpin Maxwell Dent, and Dent had sent his fiancee Karla Fry to try to kill Bogomil because Bogomil had been after Dent. With this information, Axel, Billy, and Taggart try to find Dent and Karla. "Beverly Hills Cop II" is the entertaining sequel to the 1984 smash hit. This is yet another thrill ride.
It Wasn't A Classic, but....... January 15, 2010
Anthony Dobrowolski
Beverly Hills Cop II, again stars Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, the Detroit policemen that doesn't listen to orders. He's deep, deep, deep undercover in this one, trying to solve the alphabet codes, which is responsible for the shooting of one of his friends, Lietinet Andrew Bogamil. This IS a good movie, and it is funny, but there's no way you can comapre it to the original. Its almost when you first ride a roller coaster, and you think, "I've gotta ride that again!". When you get off the second time, you're satisified, but it's just not the same. Again, BHCII, is a good movie, but is overshadowed by its predecessor.
 BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 RULES! May 6, 2009
Taheen Lopez (United States- San Diego, CA)
Paramounts BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 is a definite upgrade from the original, because for one thing in this movie Detroit police Detective Axel Foley(Eddie Murphy) has a Ferrari Testarosa instead of a Mercedes or a Nova, at least in Detroit, Michigan where Axel lives.
For another in this movie, Capt. Bogomil(Ronny Cox), Detective Rosewood(Judge Reinhold), and Sgt. Taggart(John Ashton)are all on Axel's side approving of Axel working with Beverly Hills P.D. to help solve a crime involving a string of robberies taking place in the L.A. Area, especially after Capt. Bogomil gets gunned down by one of the crooks(Brigette Nielsen) in the middle of this movie.
Therefore Axel doesn't have to go beating around the bush as much in this sequel as he had to do in the original since Taggart, Rosewood, and Bogolin already knew him in this movie as opposed to BEVERLY HILLS COP I.
This movie also takes me all the way back to memory lane to my teen years when I was still living in the Imperial Valley since I was 14 years old in the 8th grade at Wilson Jr. High School in my hometown(El Centro, CA)when this movie was made in the Spring of 1987 just before I graduated from Junior High.
So if you loved the original BEVERLY HILLS COP, you'll more than likely approve of BEVERLY HILLS COP II.
A Pretty Good Sequel!!! April 5, 2009

This is a good sequel with a lot of action and comedy! It's been two years since the original and Axel comes back to Beverly Hills because someone shoots Captain Andrew Bogomil. He is still alive, but Axel, Billy, and Taggart figure out who is behind the Alphabet crimes and stop the person who shot the Captain. I highly recommend BEVERLY HILLS COP II!!!
