Plot details explored

In Beverly Hills Cops 4, we see Detective Axel Foley back on patrol in Beverly Hills after his daughter Jane’s life is in danger. Jane and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and Taggart (John Ashton) also join the gang to uncover the mystery.

Much has changed since Foley last appeared on screen to solve cases and save people. According to Tudum, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said,

“Detroit is a much different city than Los Angeles and especially Beverly Hills. He still has the same kind of wonderment at the things you see walking down Rodeo Drive.”

Director Mark Molloy added,

“As we were scouting going from Detroit to Beverly Hills, the cultural contrast that made Axel a fish out of water in the eighties still is so vivid. They might just be the two most opposite places in America.”

Eddie Murphy has also commented on his act, as reported by Netflix:

“Even though it’s a sequel, I’m not that 22-year-old anymore. I’ve had this whole other life and so I can act that. Axel at 22 and Axel at 63? He’s a whole different person.”

Like the previous Beverly Hills Cop films, the movie begins with Axel F on the streets of Detroit, which is Axel’s hometown. Although our detective has aged, in the first few minutes alone, we get a glimpse at the same old Axel who is shouting out to people on the streets of Detroit, making fun of fellow police officers, and causing a bit of mayhem which brings everyone and everything around him to life.
