Short description

Detroit detective Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills when the murder of his superior leads him to a Los Angeles amusement park called Wonder World. There he rejoins his old colleague Billy Rosewood, now running a special police unit, and works alongside Rosewood's partner Jon Flint. Their investigation into the killing uncovers that the park is serving as cover for a large-scale counterfeiting operation. The film is the third entry in the Beverly Hills Cop series, with Eddie Murphy again playing Foley, Judge Reinhold returning as Rosewood, and Héctor Elizondo joining as Flint.

John Landis directed, working from a screenplay by Steven E. de Souza; Mace Neufeld and Robert Rehme produced. It was Landis's fifteenth film as director in chronological order, following Innocent Blood and preceding The Stupids. The supporting cast includes Timothy Carhart, John Saxon and Jon Tenney. With a budget of 50 million dollars, the film took about 119 million dollars worldwide.

Audience response has been modest. On IMDb it holds 5.5/10 from roughly 100,000 votes, and on TMDB 5.9/10 from a much smaller base of about 2,200 votes. A critics' rating of 4/10 from 56 reviews places it below the audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • George Lucas appeared in a cameo role. Axel Foley, while fleeing security guards at the amusement park, bumps into him and climbs into a "Octopus" cabin.
  • The original plot involved sending the characters played by Murphy, Judge Reinhold, and John Ashton to London to rescue Captain Bogomil, played by Ronnie Cox, who had been taken hostage by terrorists during an international police convention. However, numerous script and budget problems prolonged work on the film so much that Cox and Ashton left the production due to commitments to other projects.
  • Work on the film was temporarily halted to allow Paramount studio executives to recover from the skyrocketing budget. Initially planned for $50 million, the amount soon increased to $70 million, with $15 million of the total allocated to Eddie Murphy's fee.
