Eddie Murphy looks great for 63. I can't believe it's been 40 years since the first Beverly Hills Cop. That and 48 Hours make such a great double header.
Also great to see Judge Reinhold and John Ashton back for this movie. Ashton is excellent in Midnight Run, another enjoyable 80s movie that doesn't get enough love.

The run that Eddie Murphy had in his early 20's was ridiculous. First SNL superstar, 48hrs, Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, and Delirious all before he hit 25. That's better than the lifetime achievements of most other comedians

Don't forget about the Golden Child. My favorite Eddie Murphy movie.

Beverly Hills Cop 2 was also pretty great. More of a straight up action movie than the original, but still quite funny. And the chemistry between Murphy, Reinhold, and Ashton was even better.

His comeback, starting with the Nutty Professor and then running into Shrek and Dreamgirls was equally impressive. He had a run of just awful movies starting with Harlem Nights and running up to Vampire in Brooklyn. This included awful sequels to 48 hours and Beverly Hills Cop. Then he comes back with Nutty Professor and, with the exception of The Adventures of Pluto Nash, absolutely kills it for the next decade.
