 DVDCC.COM: Beverly Hills Cop Ii DVD REVIEW
After the extreme popularity of Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hills Cop II had to be made; a film that grossed as much as the original did, as well as the type of film this was, naturally allowed for a sequel.
Beverly Hills Cop II revolves around Axel Foley and his trip back to Beverly Hills, California to find the person that attempted to murder his friend from the Beverly Hills Police force, Captain Andrew Bogomil.
As with 99% of sequels, Beverly Hills Cop II is not as good as its predecessor, yet it is leaps and bounds better then the third installment of the series.

 Retrospectives: BEVERLY HILLS COP
It was supposed to be a cookie-cutter project for Sylvester Stallone, who only pulled out eight weeks before shooting, when the studio decided he was doing too much script revision and calling for action sequences that would cost more than they were willing to spend.
We've seen his best friend get shot twice in the head, we saw the blood spray out and heard the hollow bullet sound at the end of the corridor, and our sympathy is instinctively with him as he does what it takes to get justice.
"Beverly Hills Cop" is wonderful because it has confidence in every fibre of its look, sound and feel, and because it's about Eddie Murphy slinking around, rebelliously managing to sneak past stuff and outsmart bad guys.

 Beverly Hills Cop : filmcritic.com Movie Review
Beverly Hills Cop is actually a bit of a nutty idea -- combine a standard cop actioner with a fish out of water tale.
Judge Reinhold, as a rather hapless junior cop in L.A., made enough of a mark here to carry a career of duds for a full decade, and the soundtrack, including the ubiquitous instrumental "Axel F," was full of what would become 1980s smash hits.
If the plot wasn't such a throwaway, Cop might have stood as one of the greatest action comedies ever made, but it does stand as Murphy's funniest work and the inspiration for dozens of knockoffs (including two throwaway sequels, each worse than the last).

 Beverly Hills Cop III Review | TVGuide.com
It's obvious that BEVERLY HILLS COP III isn't a plot-driven movie: the story is just an excuse to put Murphy, Reinhold and a thoroughly professional cast through their paces.
BEVERLY HILLS COP III is a flat-out action comedy in which the action is unimpressive and the comedy so mild it seldom hits the mark; for a series only into its third installment, BEVERLY HILLS COP III is shockingly toothless.
Unlike Beverly Hills, WonderWorld really is a marvelous place--not an exclusive, fascist fantasy land--and adorable Uncle Dave is as pure and decent a father figure as anyone could want, so Axel can't be a true transgressor.

 Beverly Hills Cop II DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
Beautiful scenes that make the most of the Beverly Hills sets (some in Beverly Hills and some not) are shown, advancing the plot, establishing character, and are cut to heighten suspense.
Where Beverly Hills Cop had one serious stunt during the whole film (the runaway truck at the beginning of the film), Beverly Hills Cop II goes nitro.
Like the original movie that spawned it, Beverly Hills Cop II offers a fun, well-greased ride that careens through familiar paces, but the film also offers a darker, edgier side that wasn’t present in Axel Foley’s first outing.
