Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is a 2024 American action comedy film directed by Mark Molloy and written by Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten from a story by Beall. Serving as the fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop film series and a sequel to Beverly Hills Cop III (1994), Eddie Murphy (who also produces) reprises his role as Axel Foley, with Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot reprising their roles from previous films in the franchise, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, and Kevin Bacon star in new roles.
Axel Foley has returned to Beverly Hills after his daughter Jane's and his old partner Billy Rosewood's life is threatened. She and Axel team up with her ex-boyfriend Bobby Abbott and his old pals, John Taggart and Serge, to uncover a conspiracy.
The film entered development in the mid-1990s, under Murphy's production company. Various directors and screenwriters were attached over the years, including the filmmaking duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, but the project had faced multiple issues and has undergone development hell.[2] In April 2022, Molloy was hired to direct, with production beginning in California that August.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F was released on the streaming service Netflix on July 3, 2024.[3][4][5]
Plot
Thirty years after the Wonder World incident,[a] Axel Foley remains a Detroit police detective under the supervision of his friend, Deputy Chief Jeffrey Friedman. Along with a partner, Axel pursues a group of thieves targeting the Detroit Red Wings - looting their belongings during a game - ensuing in a chase that causes an incredible amount of damage dealt on the city. After criticism from the police commissioner, Jeffrey announces his retirement and advises Axel to reconnect with his estranged daughter Jane Saunders, a defense attorney in Los Angeles who is under the tutelage of Axel's friend Billy Rosewood, a former Beverly Hills Police Officer who is is now a private investigator. One night, Rosewood calls Axel and warns his daughter’s life is in danger. Rosewood had guided Jane as she represents a young client named Enriquez - framed for the murder of an undercover officer Copeland. After the call, Rosewood recovers evidence from the vehicle wherein the murder took place and acts on a tip, but is kidnapped by the cartel.
Axel returns to Beverly Hills, worried by the lack of responsiveness from Rosewood. Proceeding to Rosewood’s office, Axel is met by a suspicious team sifting through, looking for clues. After Axel recovers a page out of Rosewood’s schedule, he is chased by the group through Rodeo Drive and is arrested. He is escorted to the Beverly Hills Police Station where he is met by Detective Bobby Abbott, Jane ex-boyfriend, and reunites with his old friend, John Taggart. Axel reunites with Jane, however the reunion is met with resistance by the latter as Jane is interested in obtaining evidence to aid her in Enriquez’s case. An excited Taggart introduces Axel to Captain Cade Grant, who was mentored by Taggart as a young police cadet. Upon meeting Grant, Axel develops his suspicions of his motives - adorned in luxurious apparel in contrast to an honest salary. Jane bails out her father and Axel attempts to meaningfully reconnect but is met with deflection. During this time, it was revealed that Axel had been divorced from Jane’s mother within the past 30 years. But when an investigation on a Detroit mafia threatened the life of Axel's loved ones, Jane and her mother moved to Los Angeles while Axel stayed to finish his investigation.
After convincing his daughter to assist him in the case, Axel and Jane are ambushed on Wilshire Boulevard and are saved by Abbott. Back at the Beverly Hills Police Station, Axel questions Taggart about his operations at the precinct, to which Taggart vehemently denies and defends Grant and his team. Enraged, Taggart shuts out Axel and suspends Abbott. Without support, the three recover a camera and communication signal jammer that had been found in the car Copeland’s murder took place - deducing that Grant’s team were looking for an SD card containing evidence. They discover from an address left behind from Rosewood is the location of a house purchased by Grant and his men and used as a cartel money laundering corporation. Axel enlists the help of his friend - Serge - to gain access to the house through a nearby showing. There, Axel finds more evidence that links to Copeland’s murder and, by surveillance, Grant is notified of their presence.
After a dispute with Jane, Axel and Abbott interrogate Enriquez’s uncle, Chalino, who tells Abbott and Axel that Grant helps protect the cartel, and tells them about a shipment of drugs leaving the port that night. Leaving the club, Abbott and Axel are framed and arrested for drug possession by Grant. Axel escapes custody and steals a helicopter with a reluctant Abbot's aid. They fly to the Beverly Hills Police Station where Grant shoots the rotor causing them to crash in a nearby golf course. Taggart witnesses the incident and is convinced of the corruption within his own team - while assisting Jane with the pending investigation. However, Jane is kidnapped by one of Grant’s men.
Upon a tip from Chalino, Axel and Abbott go to the port where the cartel is operating. The two find Rosewood and steal a truck to retrieve the SD card that was hidden among Rosewood’s possessions. Axel finds out that Grant has taken Jane hostage and, with Jeffrey's aid, triangulates her location. After a failed attempt of gaining backup from the LAPD; Axel, Rosewood, Abbott, and later Taggart, engage in a firefight against Grant’s cartel army. During the fight, Jane escapes captivity. Axel and Grant face-off, in which Axel is shot while protecting Jane and Grant is shot in the head by Abbott. During the aftermath, Rosewood and Taggart make peace. With the recovered evidence, the charges against Enriquez were successfully dropped.
After a brief hospitalization, an emotional Axel and Jane make amends and re-establish their familial relationship, with the possibility of staying in Beverly Hills in the future. A few days later, Axel reunites with both Rosewood and Taggart, who were there for surveillance, in which Axel successfully persuades the two to join him for dinner.

Production
Development
A fourth entry in the series was initially announced for release in the mid-1990s, under the production of Eddie Murphy's production company, Eddie Murphy Productions, before production fizzled out.[18] In June 2001, it was announced that Jason Richman had been hired to write a treatment for Beverly Hills Cop IV after executives were impressed with his rewrites of Bad Company.[19] The film was re-announced in 2006, when producer Jerry Bruckheimer announced his intention to resurrect the film series, though he eventually gave up his option to produce the film, passing production duties to Lorenzo di Bonaventura.[20][21]
In September 2006, a script, which was an amalgamation of several earlier drafts, was presented to Murphy, who was reported to be "very happy" with the outline, described as an attempt to recapture the "feel of the original."[22][23] Murphy admitted one of his motivations for making a fourth Beverly Hills Cop film was to make up for the fact that the third film was "horrible" and "he didn't want to leave (the series) like that."[24][25]
In May 2008, Rush Hour director Brett Ratner was officially named director, promising the film would return under the series' standard "R" rating rather than as a rumored watered-down PG-13.[26][27] In July 2008, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas were hired as screenwriters to improve on the existing script[28] and complete a new script under the working title Beverly Hills Cop 2009, which would see Foley return to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of his friend Billy Rosewood.[18]
The script was eventually rejected, leaving Ratner to work on a new idea. In an interview with Empire magazine, Ratner stated, "I'm working very hard on the fourth. It's very difficult, especially since there were three before. We're trying to figure out some important things, like, where do we start? Is Axel retired? Is he in Beverly Hills? Is he on vacation? Does Judge Reinhold return as the loveable Billy Rosewood? Many questions to figure out, but I'm hoping to have a script before film disappears from our existence."[18]
Although Murphy committed to the project, it was unconfirmed whether the series' other principal actors, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Ronny Cox, and Bronson Pinchot, would return.[29] Ratner stated in late 2009 that he was trying to convince Reinhold and Ashton to reprise their roles.[30] Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F" would definitely be returning for the proposed fourth installment, with Ratner quoted as saying, "It'll be back but it'll be a whole new interpretation."[31] On November 15, 2010, Ratner stated in an interview with MTV that there was still a possibility that they would make a fourth film, but that it wouldn't be "anytime soon."[32]
In October 2011, Murphy discussed a possible fourth film, stating, "They're not doing it. What I'm trying to do now is produce a TV show starring Axel Foley's son, and Axel is the chief of police now in Detroit. I'd do the pilot, show up here and there. None of the movie scripts were right; it was trying to force the premise. If you have to force something, you shouldn't be doing it. It was always a rehash of the old thing. It was always wrong."[33] In late summer 2013, after CBS decided to pass on the TV series, Paramount decided to move forward with the fourth film. On September 13, 2013, Jerry Bruckheimer stated he was again in talks to produce. On December 6, 2013, it was again announced that Eddie Murphy would reprise the role of Axel Foley, and Brett Ratner would direct.[34] Murphy was paid $15 million for his involvement.[35] On May 2, 2014, Deadline announced that Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec would be writing the screenplay.[36][37]
On June 27, 2014, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Murphy discussed returning to the edgier type of character of Axel Foley after years of making family-friendly films. "I haven't done a street guy, working class, a blue-collar character in ages so maybe it's like, 'Oh, wow, I didn't remember he was able to do that,'" Murphy said. According to studio reports on the film's plot, Foley will return to Detroit after leaving his job in Beverly Hills, and he will be faced with the coldest winter on record as he navigates the new rules and old enemies of one of America's most tenacious cities. The state of Michigan approved $13.5 million in film incentives, based on an estimated $56.6 million of filmmaker spending in the state. The film will be shot in and around Detroit and is estimated to provide jobs for 352 workers. The film was originally scheduled for a March 25, 2016 release,[38] but on May 6, 2015, Paramount Pictures pulled Beverly Hills Cop IV from its release schedule due to script concerns.[39][40] On June 14, 2016, Deadline Hollywood reported that Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, directors of the Belgian drama Black, would direct the film.[41][42][43] In September 2017, Arbi and Fallah stated their interest in casting Tom Hardy or Channing Tatum to star alongside Murphy.[44]
In August 2019, the film was described as still in the developmental phase.[45][46] On October 1, 2019, in an interview with Collider, Murphy announced that principal photography would begin after the filming of Coming 2 America.[47] On November 14, 2019, Deadline Hollywood announced that Paramount Pictures made a one-time license deal, with an option for a sequel, with Netflix to develop the film.[48] In May 2020, after delays in the filmmaking business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Arbi and Fallah confirmed they were still attached as co-directors and that a new screenwriter was working on a new script for the film.[49][50] In April 2022, Arbi and Fallah left the film to focus on Batgirl (prior to its cancellation),[51] with Mark Molloy hired to replace them.[52] In the same article, Will Beall was announced to have written the script.[52] In March 2023, Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten were given credit for the screenplay, with Beall also receiving story credit.[53]
Filming
In February 2022, the film entered pre-production and received a California state tax credit of $16,059,000.[54] Principal photography began on August 29, 2022,[8][55][56] in San Bernardino, along with other areas in California, for 58 days, to generate $78 million in qualified spending in tax incentives.[57] In August 2022, Taylour Paige and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were cast in undisclosed roles.[8] In the same month, Paul Reiser and John Ashton were confirmed to reprise their roles as Det. Jeffrey Friedman and Sgt. John Taggart, respectively, from the first two films.[13][12]
In September, Judge Reinhold and Bronson Pinchot were confirmed to reprise their roles as Sgt. William "Billy" Rosewood and Serge, respectively,[11][14] with Kevin Bacon and Mark Pellegrino joining the cast.[58][15] Filming occurred in Detroit in November 2022,[59] before production wrapped in early 2023.[60][3][4]
Post-production
Dan Lebental served as the editor.[61]
Music
Lorne Balfe composed the film's score.[62] The song "Here We Go!" from the movie's soundtrack is sung by Lil Nas X.[63]
Release
The film was released on the streaming service Netflix on July 3, 2024.[64][5]
Reception
Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 65% of 130 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Content to let a very game Eddie Murphy bring all the heat, the fourth Beverly Hills Cop coasts on nostalgia but marks a welcome return for Axel Foley."[65] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[66]
Brian Tallerico, writing for RogerEbert.com, gave the film three out of four stars, stating that the film is "a shockingly entertaining diversion.... From the beginning, 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F' is buoyant and playful in a way that legacy sequels usually aren't allowed to be, and that was arguably missing in the more leaden second and third films in this series.[67]
Robert Daniels of The New York Times wrote, "While this installment isn't nearly as woeful as Beverly Hills Cop III, it doesn't have the charm or energy of the first two films either. It's a limp, desperate action comedy with few memorable moments."[68]
Accolades
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F received nominations for Location Manager of the Year – Studio Feature and Location Team of the Year – Studio Feature at the 2023 California On Location Awards.[69]
Future
On June 21, 2024, Eddie Murphy and Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that a fifth Beverly Hills Cop film was already in development.[70]
