"Beverly Hills Cop" (1984) vs. "Beverly Hills Cop II" (1987): Part 2

<v Speaker 1>Hello everybody, This is Brad Moore coming to you from Monroe, Louisiana,
<v Speaker 1>and you were listening to the one and only Surely
<v Speaker 1>you Can't Be Serious Podcast.
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy Hello everybody, and welcome back to the Shirtley You
<v Speaker 2>Can't Be Serious Podcast.
<v Speaker 1>I am back. I am driving a nice red convertible
<v Speaker 1>instead of a crappy blue Chevy Nova. I've got a
<v Speaker 1>Detroit Lions jacket. I've rest their poor souls.
<v Speaker 3>Ah.
<v Speaker 1>It's a tragic, tragic thing. I was so rooting for
<v Speaker 1>that team.
<v Speaker 3>They were on their way to the super Bowl and
<v Speaker 3>then they do what they do choke. Yeah they blew it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>they blew it.
<v Speaker 1>Hey.
<v Speaker 3>That leads me right into something that I forgot to
<v Speaker 3>mention last time. Yeah, the Mumford T shirt that Eddie
<v Speaker 3>Murphy wears in Beverly Hills cop Yeah, was a actual
<v Speaker 3>high school in Detroit, Okay, where I found out Ali Willis,
<v Speaker 3>who wrote the song Neutron Dance. That's where she went
<v Speaker 3>to high school.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so we're gonna talk about the soundtrack on a
<v Speaker 1>later episode. We're gonna do the soundtrack versus the Miami
<v Speaker 1>Vice soundtrack.
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be great.
<v Speaker 1>But she's a part of the original the Beverly Hills
<v Speaker 1>Cop soundtrack.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, for sure.
<v Speaker 1>She was working with the Pointer sisters, right, she did,
<v Speaker 1>no doubt.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they put Neutron dance to that opening car
<v Speaker 3>sequence in Beverly Hills Cop is awesome.
<v Speaker 1>It's perfect.
<v Speaker 3>It's off the charts good.
<v Speaker 1>That's the stage perfectly.
<v Speaker 3>And he's smashing cars and blowing crap up.
<v Speaker 1>He had an ibam inside of his bumper to keep
<v Speaker 1>that thing from getting dented as he blasted through all
<v Speaker 1>of that.
<v Speaker 3>Can we talk about the practical effects where they just
<v Speaker 3>destroying cars.
<v Speaker 1>It's great.
<v Speaker 3>We're back today to talk about Beverly Hills Cop One
<v Speaker 3>versus Beverly Hills Cop Part two. We keep leaking into
<v Speaker 3>Beverly Hills Cop one.
<v Speaker 1>Well that's because it's the better movie.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, your judgment is coming out here.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I can't help it. I mean, I just like
<v Speaker 1>I watched that movie. I mean I enjoyed it in
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty seven or eighty eight or whenever it was
<v Speaker 1>that I finally watched you know, could sneak it on
<v Speaker 1>h HBO or whatever, right, and was able to watch
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills Cop Two. I liked it a lot and I.
<v Speaker 1>But in rewatching it, I was just like, there are
<v Speaker 1>three things that I like about this movie. Three number
<v Speaker 1>one Shakedown, Yeah, it's good. Number two the Playboy Mansion, volleyball,
<v Speaker 1>and number three the three eighty five Club. And those
<v Speaker 1>are the only figurings that I like about this movie.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, listen, when you turn Eddie Murphy and Don Simpson
<v Speaker 3>loose and just say, let's crank up Beverly Hills Cop
<v Speaker 3>one two eleven, that's what you get.
<v Speaker 1>Well, and Beverly Hills Cop two. I mean the original idea,
<v Speaker 1>Simpson's original idea was for it to take place in
<v Speaker 1>London in Paris.
<v Speaker 3>That would have been fun.
<v Speaker 4>Did you look at the title of the movie. It's
<v Speaker 4>Beverly Hills Cop. It's not London Cop. It's not Paris Cop.
<v Speaker 4>It's not an American detch cop in Paris.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well, here's the thing. Do I think that that
<v Speaker 3>would have been interesting? Well, I'm not positive, but it
<v Speaker 3>would have been different. Instead, we got basically a straight remake.
<v Speaker 1>Right. They upped the ante on a lot of stuff.
<v Speaker 1>They picked the stuff that they liked the best, and
<v Speaker 1>that was different.
<v Speaker 3>Here's where I think they missed the boat. I think
<v Speaker 3>that it would have been interesting to have you know,
<v Speaker 3>Bogamill shot and Rosewood and Taggart go to Detroit.
<v Speaker 1>That could be good.
<v Speaker 3>I think that that would have been interesting. Yeah, that
<v Speaker 3>could be good, you know, and maybe call it Beverly
<v Speaker 3>Hills Cops.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I don't know, alien aliens thing.
<v Speaker 3>Do something different.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, all right. So, as I mentioned, Marty Brests
<v Speaker 1>did not direct this part two, why did he not
<v Speaker 1>come back for part two? Because well, they asked him,
<v Speaker 1>but he said, well, I already made my Beverly Hills
<v Speaker 1>Cop movie. I don't want to make it again. I
<v Speaker 1>want to do something else, okay, And so he does
<v Speaker 1>Midnight Run instead, which is I mean, it's similar to
<v Speaker 1>a buddy cop movie, but it's his movie. Like most
<v Speaker 1>of the movies that he did were things that he
<v Speaker 1>had had a heavy hand in writing, Beverly Hills Cops
<v Speaker 1>is an exception to that, and so he wanted to
<v Speaker 1>do his own take on this.
<v Speaker 3>So Simpson and Bruckheimer are like, well, you know, we
<v Speaker 3>did just make this movie called Top Gun. It did, okay,
<v Speaker 3>so let's get our man, Tony Scott.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they had pulled Tony again. Tony Scott was thinking
<v Speaker 1>he was hopeless as well. And this was a thing.
<v Speaker 1>This was a cool thing about Simpson and Bruckheimer is
<v Speaker 1>that they didn't they didn't try to necessarily get guys
<v Speaker 1>who were doing great things. They tried to pick guys
<v Speaker 1>who they thought could do great things. I love it.
<v Speaker 3>It's like scouting talent.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, to throw back to our old Top Gun episode,
<v Speaker 1>Tony Scott had done this horrible vampire movie called The Hunger.
<v Speaker 3>It was terrible.
<v Speaker 1>It was yes, it was like, no, I've never heard
<v Speaker 1>anybody speak in a complimentary way of this movie. It was.
<v Speaker 1>It was an art house vampire, terrible movie, right right,
<v Speaker 1>with David Bowie is that right?
<v Speaker 3>And Susan Sarandon.
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Okay, So nobody wanted to him to direct anything,
<v Speaker 1>but he did doing commercials still, right. He and his
<v Speaker 1>brother Ridley had this commercial company over in England. Yep.
<v Speaker 1>They did advertisements and he did this one for the
<v Speaker 1>SOB car I believe, yeah, right, that's right. And it
<v Speaker 1>had a big jet in it. Yep. And they Bruckheimer
<v Speaker 1>and Simpsons see this ad and they're like, there's the
<v Speaker 1>guy that can do our aviator movie. Right.
<v Speaker 3>Obviously perfect for Top Gun because he can do cars.
<v Speaker 1>You know. Well it did have a jet in the
<v Speaker 1>in the ad, right, right, And so so they bring
<v Speaker 1>him in and he does a great job. He liked
<v Speaker 1>to do artistic movies like The Hunger, and he wasn't
<v Speaker 1>getting it whenever they first started trying to do things
<v Speaker 1>with Top Gun. And finally, after many many meetings with
<v Speaker 1>Simpson and Bruckheimer, he finally says, so, you just basically
<v Speaker 1>want me to make a rock video that's a full
<v Speaker 1>length movie. And they said, yes, right, that is exactly
<v Speaker 1>what we want you to do. So inner Beverly Hills
<v Speaker 1>Cop Two and they say, give us another rock video.
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely absolutely. Now, before we get off, Tony Scott, I
<v Speaker 3>just want to talk about him for just a second. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>tragically he committed to Side in twenty.
<v Speaker 1>Twelve, that's right, yeah twelve.
<v Speaker 3>I just love his movies, right, and you talk about
<v Speaker 3>how he wanted he was more interested in making art
<v Speaker 3>house movies. But listen to this run. Okay, So he
<v Speaker 3>does The Hunger in eighty three, which I thought sucked. Okay, Well,
<v Speaker 3>he does Top Gun in eighty six, which I absolutely adore,
<v Speaker 3>Belly Hills Cop two, Revenge with Kevin Costner, Days of
<v Speaker 3>thunder Last Boy Scout, True.
<v Speaker 1>Romance, Damon Wayne's Again.
<v Speaker 3>Crimson Tide, The Fan, Enemy State, Spy Game, Man on Fire, Domino,
<v Speaker 3>Deja Vous, The Taking a Pillom one two three, and
<v Speaker 3>Unstoppable Before his Death. That list, those are all good movies, Okay.
<v Speaker 1>Man on Fire may be one of the few of
<v Speaker 1>those that I have seen. I kind of wonder if
<v Speaker 1>Damon Waynes, whenever he was auditioning for the Last Boy Scout,
<v Speaker 1>was like, I've already been in one of your movies before,
<v Speaker 1>you know, Chris, Tony Scout wasn't involved in Oh that's right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's right. It would have just been the yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>But there you go. You do have at least a
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Bacon connection.
<v Speaker 3>There, right. So I gotta tell you this Tony Scott
<v Speaker 3>Eddie Murphy story. Okay, Okay, So Simpson and Bruckheimer they
<v Speaker 3>had just done Top Gun with Tony Scott. They don't
<v Speaker 3>need to be convinced, right, but they want Tony Scott
<v Speaker 3>to meet Eddie Murphy. And let's make sure we get
<v Speaker 3>you know, the chemistry right. And Eddie Murphy's cool with this, right,
<v Speaker 3>because literally, Eddie Murphy is sitting on top of the
<v Speaker 3>world and really can call his own shot on this deal, right,
<v Speaker 3>So they fly Tony Scott out to New Jersey to
<v Speaker 3>meet with Eddie Murphy. So Tony Scott and Eddy Murphy
<v Speaker 3>go to a poolhole and they're playing pool, and Eddie
<v Speaker 3>plays a game and wins, and so they're gonna play
<v Speaker 3>a second game, and they're talking about the movie and
<v Speaker 3>they're working things out in their mind and they're discussing it,
<v Speaker 3>and so in the middle of the game, Eddie goes
<v Speaker 3>to the bathroom or whatever vanishes, and Tony Scott's just
<v Speaker 3>kind of standing there waiting and waiting and waiting middle
<v Speaker 3>of the game, middle of the game, like, it's your shot, Eddie.
<v Speaker 1>Where are you had bet? Are you pooping? You have
<v Speaker 1>some taco bell before we got here.
<v Speaker 3>So one of the guys in Eddie's entourage comes back
<v Speaker 3>and says, Eddie likes you. He's gonna work with you.
<v Speaker 3>And he's like, I guess we're done playing pool, and
<v Speaker 3>he just walked out. He didn't even say goodbye, he
<v Speaker 3>just left.
<v Speaker 1>How yeah, Freema Donna indeed, yeah, yeah, Well this again,
<v Speaker 1>and that kind of goes back to what we talked
<v Speaker 1>about the difference between how Eddie Murphy was with John
<v Speaker 1>Landis on trading Places versus how they were together on
<v Speaker 1>coming to America. No, yeah, no doubt.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So let's talk about the production of Bellly Hills
<v Speaker 3>Cop Part two. Wake up.
<v Speaker 1>This is what we always talked about. So look alive.
<v Speaker 1>You may never see it again. Okay. So here's the thing.
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills Cop Part Two was initially not supposed to
<v Speaker 1>be a movie. It was supposed to be a TV series.
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I don't understand how you make three
<v Speaker 1>hundred million dollars on a movie and then say we
<v Speaker 1>should make a TV series out of this. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>is the money better for TV in the eighties. I
<v Speaker 1>can't think that that's possible.
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it.
<v Speaker 3>You think Eddi Murphy's gonna make TV?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he said no, I'm done with TV. I'm not
<v Speaker 1>doing that, and so they said, okay, I guess we'll
<v Speaker 1>make it a movie. Now. The original writers that were
<v Speaker 1>involved with that. I keep in mind, Dan Bach had
<v Speaker 1>written this thing in nineteen seventy seven, right, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>it took it took years before it even became a movie.
<v Speaker 1>And then Dan Petrie gets involved and makes it into
<v Speaker 1>a comedy, and you've had multiple relook rights, including one
<v Speaker 1>by Sylvester Stallone. Right, And so by the time you
<v Speaker 1>get to let's make part two, let's feed off, let's
<v Speaker 1>horror off of the success of our original movie, They're like, okay, well,
<v Speaker 1>let's bring in some guys that have written some good
<v Speaker 1>scripts or rewrites that they've done that will give us
<v Speaker 1>a good movie. And so they say, all right, we've
<v Speaker 1>got Larry Ferguson, who we talked about in our Highlander episode.
<v Speaker 3>Wow.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Larry Ferguson's the writer of Highlander. Wow. And he
<v Speaker 1>also did Hunt for Red October, and he also came
<v Speaker 1>up when we were talking about what the heck cappened
<v Speaker 1>with Alien three. He was one of those five or
<v Speaker 1>six different writers that was involved with Alien three. And
<v Speaker 1>then they also brought in Warren Scarin, who at this
<v Speaker 1>point was on the verge of something great because he
<v Speaker 1>had done Beetlejuice and he was about to help write Batman.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow yeah Wow. So they bring those guys in
<v Speaker 1>to write the script, and the story idea comes from
<v Speaker 1>Eddie Murphy, or at least half of the story idea.
<v Speaker 1>Sure and so those guys come in, they put together
<v Speaker 1>the script. As I mentioned just a bit ago, Marty
<v Speaker 1>Brest is out because he doesn't want to do another
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills cop movie. He's doing Midnight Express and I run. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>they wanted Hans Zimmer to do the soundtrack, and they're like,
<v Speaker 1>we should probably offer it to Harold Faltemeyer since you know,
<v Speaker 1>he had the number one hit song that was part
<v Speaker 1>of I.
<v Speaker 3>Don't really get that because Harold Faltemyer was all over
<v Speaker 3>top gun.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. But as I said, original
<v Speaker 1>idea London, Paris, Eddie said, I do not want to
<v Speaker 1>go oversea, so he nixed that one.
<v Speaker 3>So here's the deal, Eddie Murphy has all the power, right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he made eight million dollars for this movie. That
<v Speaker 1>was his salary for the movie, and it's worth every
<v Speaker 1>penny and probably had a you know, production credit as
<v Speaker 1>well that got him even more money. But sure that
<v Speaker 1>was he walked in the door with eight million bucks
<v Speaker 1>in his pocket.
<v Speaker 3>So literally at this time, you're like, okay, Eddie, here's
<v Speaker 3>what we're thinking. Axel goes to Europe and he's like,
<v Speaker 3>now I don't I don't want to film out of
<v Speaker 3>the US. Okay, okay, Eddie says, no, No, that's it right.
<v Speaker 1>All right, scratch that, Okay, that script away?
<v Speaker 3>Where does this? Well, how did I come up with this?
<v Speaker 1>Huh?
<v Speaker 3>How about TV? We're gonna do TV. We we're thinking
<v Speaker 3>we're doing a TV show. No, Eddie says, no, okay,
<v Speaker 3>back to square one. Yeah, and Eddie gets involved with
<v Speaker 3>the storytelling.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, and then here's what's interesting. The love interest
<v Speaker 1>character that was supposed to be the love interest in
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills Cop one right right, with Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester
<v Speaker 1>Stallone makes a movie, right, he makes this movie Cobra, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>and as his love interest from this script that he wrote,
<v Speaker 1>from what he did with the Beverly Hills cop he
<v Speaker 1>casts in that part. Who Brigitte Nielsen? Bridget Nielsen?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And of course she had been in Rocky four
<v Speaker 3>also with him.
<v Speaker 1>Right, yes, yeah, and and and they were married. They
<v Speaker 1>were married at the point they were that Beverly Hills
<v Speaker 1>Cop two was getting cast.
<v Speaker 3>Until Tony Scott started sleeping with his wife.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you, as a guy who's built
<v Speaker 1>like Tony Scott, decide I'm going to sleep with Sylvester
<v Speaker 1>Stallone's wife. Right, wow, you were? You mentioned we did
<v Speaker 1>trivia the other night and you mentioned I'm ready for
<v Speaker 1>the question of name the actress that has had an
<v Speaker 1>affair with and what's the list?
<v Speaker 3>Arnold Schwarzenegger.
<v Speaker 1>So that's just alone, uh, Cobra, Rocky four yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Right, Flavor Flave, oh whoa yea, and Tony's got yeah,
<v Speaker 3>and that football player too, right? Oh and mar Gastino
<v Speaker 3>that's right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she was living her good life.
<v Speaker 3>I guess she is not afraid to try to latch
<v Speaker 3>onto different guys who can help her out.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, and how can you blame any guy for
<v Speaker 1>getting caught up in that?
<v Speaker 3>Hey, listen, I want to talk about that for just
<v Speaker 3>a second. I want to get off in the lured
<v Speaker 3>details here. But when she did red Sonya with Ernest Schwarzenegger,
<v Speaker 3>Arnes Schwarzenegger was about to get married to Maurice Shrever,
<v Speaker 3>right right, she was dating Sylvester Stallone and Arnie and
<v Speaker 3>Sly had had this incredible competition.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I hated each other and.
<v Speaker 3>Apparently she and Arnold got very freaky, like doing weird
<v Speaker 3>stuff in their relationship.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, this is PG thirteen episodes, So we can't
<v Speaker 1>go into that. No, you could leave it. Let that.
<v Speaker 1>You can't go further than that. You've reached the door
<v Speaker 1>of the PG thirteen rate. There you go. Yeah, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>so they decide there needs to be a six foot
<v Speaker 1>blonde in this and now I just happen to have
<v Speaker 1>one in my back pocket.
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to take the shave those legs anyway.
<v Speaker 1>I suppose you're trying to be charming. Actually, I'm just
<v Speaker 1>offering my grooming services.
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about the cast before, I mean, we can
<v Speaker 3>talk about Nielsen. Yeah, she had done as we said,
<v Speaker 3>she had done red Sonia, she had done Rocky four,
<v Speaker 3>she had done Cobra and now I mean she's she's
<v Speaker 3>not on a hot strike herself.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, she had done Playboy. Wow. Yeah, Google search.
<v Speaker 3>So she's kind of one of the main bad guys
<v Speaker 3>in this movie. Yeah, Now, this movie suffers because it
<v Speaker 3>has too many bad guys in my opinion, maybe, Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>who's the real bad guy? And what are we doing?
<v Speaker 3>Who cares? We're having fun. We're hanging out with Eddie
<v Speaker 3>Murphy and we're driving cement trucks around.
<v Speaker 1>Are you driving with your eyes open. Are you like
<v Speaker 1>using the flour?
<v Speaker 3>So you've got Jurgen proc now plays Maxwell Dent.
<v Speaker 1>What else has he been in?
<v Speaker 3>He was in dos Boot.
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, I feel like I remember him
<v Speaker 1>from dost Boot.
<v Speaker 3>He plays like the Jesus character in the Demi Moore
<v Speaker 3>Seventh Sign movie from eight.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's it, that's what I remember him from.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he actually dubbed Sylvester Stallone's lines in the German.
<v Speaker 1>The German Double German of Rocky, Oh of Rocky. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's hilarious.
<v Speaker 3>Stallone's all the place.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>In fact, he's on a poster in Billy's apartment.
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's it, like they're making it there. That was
<v Speaker 1>a joke. That was the inside joke. Because it's part two.
<v Speaker 1>They know that Cobra was made from Sylvester Stalan's version
<v Speaker 1>of Beverly Hills Cops. So in addition to that, the
<v Speaker 1>other throwback is that Judge Reinhold at some point opens
<v Speaker 1>up his trunk and just starts pulling out all of
<v Speaker 1>these guns, which is a throwback to his first meeting
<v Speaker 1>with Don Simpson, where Don Simpson had done essentially the
<v Speaker 1>exact same thing.
<v Speaker 3>Right and Taggart says, f Rambo, and you know somebody
<v Speaker 3>was aff and Rambo.
<v Speaker 1>Who.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so we've got returning in part two. We've got
<v Speaker 3>Adie Murphy back. We've got Judge Rehnhold back. We get
<v Speaker 3>Ronnie Cox a little bit. He gets shot early on.
<v Speaker 1>Well, he was filming RoboCop. He had gotten such a
<v Speaker 1>good reputation from playing the part that he did on
<v Speaker 1>the first Beverly Hills Cop that he's tapped to play
<v Speaker 1>RoboCop with the not evil police chief but evil corporate head,
<v Speaker 1>but still the same type of guy.
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely. Then you've got John Ashton back as Taggart.
<v Speaker 1>Do I really look like Gerald Ford?
<v Speaker 4>You'll both look like Gerald Ford.
<v Speaker 3>You get Paul Riser back as Jeffrey. You get gil
<v Speaker 3>Hill back as Detective Todd.
<v Speaker 1>I just thought that there was a problem. Don't think
<v Speaker 1>it makes my skid.
<v Speaker 3>And then you add kind of a hodgepodge of other people. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>I want to go through this. This is Don Simpson
<v Speaker 3>out of his coked out finest right here. Okay. You
<v Speaker 3>get Dean Stockwell as a bad guy. He's mister kin.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>You get Gilbert Godfried in a cameo that's so weird.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, his character's name is Sidney Bernstein. Right, he plays
<v Speaker 1>the accountant, right, and oh, come in because the office
<v Speaker 1>door being closed is obviously an indication that you should
<v Speaker 1>walk right in.
<v Speaker 3>Don't let that stop you, Dora shut. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so it's sid Bernstein. I don't know if you
<v Speaker 1>remember this, but when we did our Best of nineteen
<v Speaker 1>eighty four, just a couple of episodes ago, I mentioned
<v Speaker 1>that Laura Branigan, her manager's name was sid Bernstein. She
<v Speaker 1>ends up leaving him to go with this other lady
<v Speaker 1>and he sues her for fifteen million dollar. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if the character has the same name because of that,
<v Speaker 1>or if it's just a very good accountant name.
<v Speaker 3>But Sidney Bernstein.
<v Speaker 1>There you go.
<v Speaker 3>That's cool. You also get a cameo of Hugh Hefner
<v Speaker 3>at the Playboy Mansion.
<v Speaker 1>Guard your blood out, Lily, isn't this sun?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>No?
<v Speaker 1>And thank goodness for that. I mean, you gotta die.
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes fourteen year old Jason was having a blast hanging
<v Speaker 3>out at the Playboy Mansion. You get Chris Rock in
<v Speaker 3>his big screen debut as a parking Valley Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yo, what the man?
<v Speaker 4>Check this out?
<v Speaker 1>I get ten dollars for cars. I get twenty dollars
<v Speaker 1>for limos? What the hell is this?
<v Speaker 3>And then I was just gonna make mention one of
<v Speaker 3>the playmates at the Playboy Mansion is miss Kimberly Herron.
<v Speaker 1>Hold On, hold On, one of the playmates. Okay, so
<v Speaker 1>they're playing volleyball like there's no lines, there's no one
<v Speaker 1>of the playmates. Jason Colvin decided to do some research
<v Speaker 1>and figure out whatever the other things they've been involved in.
<v Speaker 3>I do a thorough job here at the Shirley Can't
<v Speaker 3>Be Serious podcast.
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you this. Yes, what's the name
<v Speaker 1>of the secretary at the gun club who actually has
<v Speaker 1>a speaking part.
<v Speaker 3>Her name is Valerie Wildman.
<v Speaker 1>Oh all right. You only know that because I told
<v Speaker 1>you anyway, and we had this conversation off the air.
<v Speaker 1>I was like, do you know her name? And you're like, no,
<v Speaker 1>I have no Yeah. I see where your research falls,
<v Speaker 1>my friend, I see what holes you go down.
<v Speaker 3>Let me finish my thought on Kimberly Herren Hey. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>she plays one of the girls in the zz Top videos,
<v Speaker 3>which we talked about in our zz Top Eliminator Eliminator,
<v Speaker 3>and we also talked about her in Ghostbusters.
<v Speaker 1>She's the blowjob ghost she.
<v Speaker 3>Is, and now here she is back at the Playboy mansion.
<v Speaker 3>And then you have mister Allen Garfield who plays Chief.
<v Speaker 1>Lutslots and biddle like kibbles and bits, kibble and bits.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, that's all I got on cast.
<v Speaker 1>Not very exciting, right, So this movie, as I said,
<v Speaker 1>I was not happy with the script. The difference between
<v Speaker 1>scripted lines and improv lines in part one couldn't tell
<v Speaker 1>you like I just couldn't because they put it together
<v Speaker 1>seamlessly with this one. I could tell that they were
<v Speaker 1>struggling to get out the lines that were on the
<v Speaker 1>paper in some scenes and other scenes I thought they're
<v Speaker 1>just making stuff up, like this is just dumb, ridiculous stuff.
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes it worked, but a lot of times it didn't.
<v Speaker 1>Your case in point, Jimmy Wishbone.
<v Speaker 3>Or whatever, Johnny Wishbone scene is that painful to wise?
<v Speaker 3>It was not. It was obnoxious.
<v Speaker 1>And the scene where he walks he takes he takes
<v Speaker 1>Rosewood's pills, his vitamins and walks into the gun club
<v Speaker 1>and does this whole thing where he's terrified. What the
<v Speaker 1>heck is that about? Why did he have to do that.
<v Speaker 1>Why could he not just have walked in the door
<v Speaker 1>and said, can you point me to so in those
<v Speaker 1>offices and need to talk to mister Kane. Can you
<v Speaker 1>tell me where his office is? Is that easy? Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>Just trying to plug Eddie Murphy's stuff in in a
<v Speaker 1>redic way. I couldn't stand it.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I've got a couple of things that they did, right,
<v Speaker 3>let's talk about Yeah, sure, are we already moving towards judgment?
<v Speaker 1>We need some tidbits in here somewhere, but yeh sure, okay,
<v Speaker 1>all right, tell me about the things that you did
<v Speaker 1>that you think that they did, right.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So I do think that they didn't execute it. Well,
<v Speaker 3>but I think that this idea of having an alphabet
<v Speaker 3>crime is interesting.
<v Speaker 1>They stole it from Agatha Christie. It's called the ABC Murders.
<v Speaker 3>Well I didn't know that, so I thought that was good. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>it's a brilliant idea, right that someone else had. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>I mean, why would you do that? Like, why would
<v Speaker 3>you give people clues as to who you're.
<v Speaker 1>Going to like what building you're going to rob next?
<v Speaker 3>There's lots of pieces of this movie that make no sense, right,
<v Speaker 3>lots lots. So you open with the robbery at the
<v Speaker 3>jewelry store, which is Tony Scott. It's exciting anytime you
<v Speaker 3>have somebody calling out in thirty seconds. Yeah, you know,
<v Speaker 3>it's like point break. Yeah, you got the clock factor,
<v Speaker 3>you've got the pressure. But all I'm thinking is, why
<v Speaker 3>are you guys shattering all like you're gonna slice your
<v Speaker 3>hands up? I mean, just do a simple break and
<v Speaker 3>like get in the side.
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? It's just ridiculous.
<v Speaker 3>Or the fact that she's a six foot one blonde
<v Speaker 3>woman who's incredibly beautiful and not in costume. Right, she
<v Speaker 3>was wearing sunglasses, so I couldn't tell who she was.
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh.
<v Speaker 3>So I like the alphabet crimes. I think that that
<v Speaker 3>was cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good job back get the Christie.
<v Speaker 3>Now they shoot Bogomil for letter B right off the bat.
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of quick, you know. For yeah, like he's
<v Speaker 3>like hot on their trail after one crime.
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, they know he's hot on the trail because
<v Speaker 1>why because he's running in their oil pit and he
<v Speaker 1>picks up some dirt.
<v Speaker 3>Right, that's it, that's it, That's all we need.
<v Speaker 1>And when you see his shoes later I'm like, you
<v Speaker 1>couldn't glue that much dirt on his shoes that's on
<v Speaker 1>the ground.
<v Speaker 3>It was so over the top. I'm like, oh my word,
<v Speaker 3>I would not walk in the house with those shoes.
<v Speaker 1>Could you spoon feed it to us a little bit more?
<v Speaker 3>Please? Okay, let's talk about what they really did.
<v Speaker 1>Right though, Okay, you gotta tell me, Okay, I don't know.
<v Speaker 3>Well, they gave us a great soundtrack with great songs,
<v Speaker 3>and it's a rock video. Do you wrong? And we've
<v Speaker 3>gone up pat fun.
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you on that one.
<v Speaker 1>I listened to the entire Beverly Hills two soundtrack. Shakedown
<v Speaker 1>is phenomenal, shakeounds the number one hit.
<v Speaker 3>Everything else is Man, you tell Me I Want Your Sex,
<v Speaker 3>number one, number two hit.
<v Speaker 1>That number one. It was not made for the album.
<v Speaker 1>It was just happened to get thrown in there. But
<v Speaker 1>it was already it's already a big hit. They took
<v Speaker 1>a song that was already a big hit.
<v Speaker 3>No no no no no no no no no oh no.
<v Speaker 1>This You're telling Me that I Want Your Sex by
<v Speaker 1>George Michael was written for this movie.
<v Speaker 3>Well, it was used for that I don't know if
<v Speaker 3>it was written for this No, it was definitely not.
<v Speaker 3>They came out in November of eighty seven.
<v Speaker 1>I unders stand. But what I'm saying is, I know
<v Speaker 1>he didn't write it. We've covered faith, we know why
<v Speaker 1>he wrote that. He wanted to smash his image of
<v Speaker 1>the pretty boy from Wayam.
<v Speaker 3>All I'm saying is that was a huge song the
<v Speaker 3>summer of eighty seven in part because of this movie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was a huge song because it was a
<v Speaker 1>huge song anyway, not because of this movie. You get the.
<v Speaker 3>Strip club scene and you got well, I want your sex,
<v Speaker 3>which is.
<v Speaker 1>Fine, right, so go ahead, what do you got else?
<v Speaker 3>I mean, cres My Broken Heart by the Jets, the
<v Speaker 3>Wolf Grahams, we talked about them, terrible, top ten hit,
<v Speaker 3>Crossmer Broken Hot, terrible. You get another Pointer Sister song.
<v Speaker 1>That sounds exactly like the other one, except not as good.
<v Speaker 3>That's true, I'll give you that. And then you get
<v Speaker 3>Corey Hart followed Sunglasses at.
<v Speaker 1>Night, Yeah, and also terrible.
<v Speaker 3>And you get a cement Uh truck run through the
<v Speaker 3>streets on the soundtrack that they escaped from a robbery,
<v Speaker 3>drove straight to the Playboy Mansion, left the car parked outside.
<v Speaker 1>They parked an armored truck outside the most visible house
<v Speaker 1>in a ten mile radius, and that was their escape plan.
<v Speaker 3>And when they got out, they all looked like they
<v Speaker 3>were going to the Kentucky Derby. I mean they were
<v Speaker 3>dressed to the tee.
<v Speaker 1>I mean. To go back to the gun room scene,
<v Speaker 1>he comes in to ask a question about a bullet,
<v Speaker 1>and in ten seconds or less, bridget Nielsen has seen
<v Speaker 1>him on the security cam, knows what he's talking about,
<v Speaker 1>comes and interrupts him to find out that he's a
<v Speaker 1>Detroit cop and comes in to tell the main bad guy,
<v Speaker 1>have him killed?
<v Speaker 3>How he killed?
<v Speaker 1>Immediately? Are you serious? Hey?
<v Speaker 3>Do you guys know what this bullet is?
<v Speaker 1>From? Killing?
<v Speaker 3>Killing?
<v Speaker 1>It's yeah, it's very bad, but.
<v Speaker 3>Bye, listen. I have a high affection for this movie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a lot of fun. I told you
<v Speaker 3>it is like it's like going to a party and
<v Speaker 3>you have a blast at the party, and then when
<v Speaker 3>you get home you realize that somebody had stolen your wallet.
<v Speaker 1>What you did not tell me this? What?
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's the clean up version, right, Okay, But I
<v Speaker 3>had a blast the whole time, and it's not until
<v Speaker 3>later that you realize, Man, that didn't make any sense,
<v Speaker 3>but it was still fun. All right, d let's go
<v Speaker 3>into tidbits. I've got some great tidbits for you, and
<v Speaker 3>then we can talk about final judgment because I could
<v Speaker 3>see you're itching to talk about that.
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, I'm ready to get this this silliness over with.
<v Speaker 1>The nice part about this is we get to jump
<v Speaker 1>back to Beverly Hills Cop one and talk about a
<v Speaker 1>few things there. So very first scene that they filmed
<v Speaker 1>in Beverly Hills Cop one, very first scene. Do you
<v Speaker 1>know what it is?
<v Speaker 3>It's the chase at the beginning, right, No, it is
<v Speaker 3>the strip club scene. Really, yes, which I mean it's
<v Speaker 3>my favorite scene in the whole movie, Like if you
<v Speaker 3>if you your favorite scene?
<v Speaker 1>Well, yes, not yes, I realized how that came out.
<v Speaker 1>I definitely enjoyed it as a young man. For the stripping,
<v Speaker 1>of course, right, but no, the foiling of the crime.
<v Speaker 1>The guys who come in, well, I can't tell you
<v Speaker 1>how many times that I've been sitting somewhere and it's
<v Speaker 1>been a warm day and I've seen somebody come in
<v Speaker 1>with a big jacket on. I'm like, is that Gegan around? Buz?
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching that guy. Why has he got these long
<v Speaker 1>jackets on? Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>I love that, yes, philm anyway, so you change, man,
<v Speaker 3>you change.
<v Speaker 1>That's the first scene that they shoot, and of course
<v Speaker 1>Judge Reinhold has talked about the scene. He's like, I'm
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of awkward. This is awkward. We've got these girls.
<v Speaker 1>So we're hours and these girls are stripping over us
<v Speaker 1>for hours. Yeah, and it's it's hard to you know,
<v Speaker 1>concentrate with all of this. But you know what the
<v Speaker 1>song nasty Girl, you know where it came from? Nanty six, right,
<v Speaker 1>but do you know who suggested it as the song
<v Speaker 1>that be playing in the strip club? No? The stripper really, yes,
<v Speaker 1>the stripper that was there was the one that said, guys,
<v Speaker 1>I'd really like I think you'd probably like this song.
<v Speaker 1>I would definitely dance to this song anyway. And that's
<v Speaker 1>how they put That's how it got in the movie.
<v Speaker 3>Love it there, you go.
<v Speaker 1>Love it? Yeah? What else you got?
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So this was the highest grossing movie in nineteen
<v Speaker 3>eighty four. We talked about that and at the time,
<v Speaker 3>this was the third highest grossing R rated movie of
<v Speaker 3>all time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, can you name the other two? The Godfather yes,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. What do you got?
<v Speaker 3>So the Godfather and the Exorcist, Oh yeah, yeah, finally
<v Speaker 3>knocked off its perch by the Matrix reloaded reloaded right?
<v Speaker 1>What right? Not the first matrix, the second one that
<v Speaker 1>was crap, right exactly? That doesn't even make any sense.
<v Speaker 1>But hey, go back. If you guys haven't heard our
<v Speaker 1>episodes on The Godfather Part one and two versus Goodfellas,
<v Speaker 1>go back and check those out. Those are fun episodes.
<v Speaker 1>And then also we talked about the Exorcists when we
<v Speaker 1>did last year, did our top five Halloween movies from
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen SEVENTI, Yes, we did.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, I've got a couple of tidbits I'm dying
<v Speaker 3>to tell you.
<v Speaker 1>Okay.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So the banana and the tailpipe one of the
<v Speaker 3>highlights of the movie, right, it's hilarious. Yeah yeah, not
<v Speaker 3>fall into the banana and the tailpipe. Yeah, okay, we're
<v Speaker 3>not going to fall for a banana and the tailpipe.
<v Speaker 3>You're not gonna fall for the banana and the tailpipe.
<v Speaker 1>It should be more natural, brother, should flow out like this.
<v Speaker 3>Look, man, I follo off a no banana my tairepipe.
<v Speaker 3>So apparently they did this on MythBusters. Okay, and it
<v Speaker 3>didn't work. They couldn't get the car to stall.
<v Speaker 1>Out right, Hollywood magic, right right.
<v Speaker 3>Basically the car would eject the bananas and sort of
<v Speaker 3>right itself.
<v Speaker 1>Were they using the same making model of car? Was
<v Speaker 1>it a nineteen seventies model in Paula? I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.
<v Speaker 3>So that's kind of interesting.
<v Speaker 1>So whenever in the Beverly Hills police station they're tracking
<v Speaker 1>Folly and Rosewood with the satellite tracking system, Yes, it
<v Speaker 1>did not exist at that point. It was a made
<v Speaker 1>up thing that of course would later become a real
<v Speaker 1>thing of GPS. Oh yeah, I.
<v Speaker 3>Love it, Yeah real, Yeah, that's really cool. Okay, So
<v Speaker 3>actual Folly wears a Mumford fizz Ed T shirt throughout
<v Speaker 3>the entire first movie.
<v Speaker 1>Mumford and Sons did not exist yet.
<v Speaker 3>Says Mumford fizz Ed. I know, I had one. I
<v Speaker 3>had one a shirt.
<v Speaker 1>Okay.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So what is this, Well, it's got a couple
<v Speaker 3>of connections to the movie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Ali Willis, who wrote the song Neutron Dance, grew up
<v Speaker 3>in Detroit, went to Mumford High School.
<v Speaker 1>We talked about Ali Willis when we did our Patreon
<v Speaker 1>episode on September. Right, we did wid and Fire and.
<v Speaker 3>Best Theme Songs of the nineteen nineties. We talked about
<v Speaker 3>her there as well. Oh yeah, all right, Ali Willis
<v Speaker 3>went there. She saw it. She thought, wow, they're honoring me,
<v Speaker 3>you know. Well, it turns out Jerry Brockheimer went to
<v Speaker 3>Mufford High School as well. Yeah, and so did Gilda Radner.
<v Speaker 3>As a matter of fact, So Detroit High School. This
<v Speaker 3>is a Detroit High school.
<v Speaker 1>So Detroit High School has produced Jerry Bruckheimer, Gilda Radner,
<v Speaker 1>and Ali Willis. Ali Willis, Wow, that's crazy, pretty cool.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Okay, I'm dying to tell you this tidbit on location.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, give it to me.
<v Speaker 3>So at the very beginning of Beverly Hills Cop Part one,
<v Speaker 3>after the cigarette diesel car chase actual, he goes to
<v Speaker 3>the police station, climbs up and says stairs, and that's
<v Speaker 3>where Jeffrey grabs him, and he's like, I'm not talking
<v Speaker 3>to you. I'm not listening to Jeffrey. Those stairs that
<v Speaker 3>he climbs up right there are the same stairs that
<v Speaker 3>Genie Buehler climbs to meet Charlie Sheen in Ferris Bueler's
<v Speaker 3>Day Off it's the same setup police station.
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Nice okay, Yeah, a little different lighting from one
<v Speaker 1>to the other. It is.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got one more. This is kind of a
<v Speaker 3>deep cut for you. The Beverly Palm Hotel lobby that
<v Speaker 3>we actually spent a lot of time there. That was
<v Speaker 3>the same location where they shot Steve Perry's music video
<v Speaker 3>for O Sherry.
<v Speaker 1>Whoa fantastic go check out our best of nineteen.
<v Speaker 3>Eighty four songs, just talks about it.
<v Speaker 1>That's fantastic. Okay, ready for this one. Yes, in part
<v Speaker 1>two when he comes into the gun club, instead of
<v Speaker 1>saying his name is Axel Foley, he says his name
<v Speaker 1>is Richard James. Right. Do you know who this is?
<v Speaker 3>It's a reference to Rick James, right, James, bitch, you
<v Speaker 3>know the connection to Eddy Murphy.
<v Speaker 1>Right. Yeah, he produced his album the album of Party
<v Speaker 1>All the Time, Party all the Time.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right, okay, and we I know we talked
<v Speaker 3>about this for a minute. But on the set of
<v Speaker 3>Beverly Hills Cop Too, Brigitte Nielsen had an affair with
<v Speaker 3>Tony Scott. They were both married at the time. She
<v Speaker 3>ended up divorcing Sylvester Stallone. Tony Scott divorced his wife.
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of a disaster.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh.
<v Speaker 3>One more tidbit for you on Beverly Hills Cop two. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>the song Shakedown was originally offered to Glenn Fry.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's right.
<v Speaker 3>No, Glenn Fries from Detroit.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he had had he'd had some success on
<v Speaker 1>the first album he did.
<v Speaker 3>That heat is On was his song.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but he lost his voice.
<v Speaker 3>He couldn't sing, and so they went to Bob Seger.
<v Speaker 1>Well, and they wanted Bronson ben Show to come back
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah. You know why he wasn't back because
<v Speaker 1>he was doing Perfect Stranger, same character on Perfect Strangers. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's cool.
<v Speaker 3>Okay. I do have one humongous gripe from part.
<v Speaker 1>One, really I did. Oh yeah, I want to hear this.
<v Speaker 3>This is like my It takes me out of the movie.
<v Speaker 3>I hate it so much.
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Okay.
<v Speaker 3>So Axel Foley, by the way, is running around Victor
<v Speaker 3>Maitland's mansion. Okay, Yes, which, I've got another tidbit for
<v Speaker 3>you location wise on this.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I feel like number number one. I feel like
<v Speaker 1>you've talked about what you're about to talk about. When
<v Speaker 1>we talked about Raiders, of lostar Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
<v Speaker 1>I did so our like our third episode.
<v Speaker 3>God, that was four years ago.
<v Speaker 1>When about it? That's crazy. Go ahead.
<v Speaker 3>So the funny part is that the exterior of this
<v Speaker 3>mansion was shot at one house and the interior shots
<v Speaker 3>were shot at a different house.
<v Speaker 1>For sure, not uncommon, right.
<v Speaker 3>Right, So the interiors were shot at what a house
<v Speaker 3>called that has a name? Like, I want to have
<v Speaker 3>a house that has a name. Right, It's called Castillo
<v Speaker 3>de Lago, uh huh, which means Castle of the Lake.
<v Speaker 1>Okay.
<v Speaker 3>Now, the interesting thing about this mansion where they're running
<v Speaker 3>around shooting up the inside of this Bugsy Seagull lived
<v Speaker 3>Here's that was his house, Bugsy Bugsy. Yeah, and Madonna
<v Speaker 3>lived in this house for years in the nineties.
<v Speaker 1>And then Madonna stars with and Mary's Warren Batty as
<v Speaker 1>he's playing Bugsy there you go. Wow, that's nuts. Okay, okay,
<v Speaker 1>But back to my was that Dick Tracy? Was she
<v Speaker 1>and Buggy or Dick Tracy? I can't remember.
<v Speaker 3>She was in Dick Tracy. Oh yeah, well he played
<v Speaker 3>Breathless Mahony, Yeah, Dick Tracy. Okay, you want to hear
<v Speaker 3>my big complaint for part one.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, tell me.
<v Speaker 3>Victor Maitland pulls out a three fifty seven magnum point
<v Speaker 3>blake shoots Axel in the shoulder. It could blow his
<v Speaker 3>arm off. Now he has a brief, painful moment and
<v Speaker 3>from there he doesn't even acknowledge that he's been shot.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've never been shot. I think it would be painful.
<v Speaker 1>I think I would react like Clu Diamond Phillips reacted
<v Speaker 1>when he gets shot in Young Guns Part two. I'd
<v Speaker 1>be screaming my head. But I don't know because I've
<v Speaker 1>never been shot.
<v Speaker 3>They're all hanging out afterwards, and here comes the chief
<v Speaker 3>and actual, why haven't you gone to the hospital yet. Oh,
<v Speaker 3>I'm fine. He just got shot point blank in the
<v Speaker 3>shoulder and he's just no problem.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, speaking of police chief first one, Yeah, police Chief Hubbard.
<v Speaker 1>We didn't really talk about him. He's a great carmudgeon
<v Speaker 1>leygu guy, right. Yes, he kind of reminds me of
<v Speaker 1>the Grandpa off of The Lost Boys. He does. Yeah, anyway,
<v Speaker 1>when he walks in to do his scene and he's yelling,
<v Speaker 1>he's got rolled up papers in his hand.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, he does.
<v Speaker 1>It's actually a copy of the script because they kept
<v Speaker 1>rewriting and rewriting, so he's literally trying to memorize the
<v Speaker 1>lines moments before he walks onto the screen and he
<v Speaker 1>brings the script in with him.
<v Speaker 3>That's the man who wrecked the Muffey.
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious. I got one more little tidbit that kind
<v Speaker 1>of ties this all back in, right, Yeah, So Martin
<v Speaker 1>Brest got Inspector Todd as real homicide detective because he
<v Speaker 1>was in the Detroit police station. Right. The problem was
<v Speaker 1>the Beverly Hills Police station wouldn't let him in. They
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't let people in to see what it looked like.
<v Speaker 1>So all he could do was go, all right, I'm
<v Speaker 1>just going to do the exact opposite of what I
<v Speaker 1>saw in the Detroit police station. But in addition to that,
<v Speaker 1>and you think about what you saw in the Beverly
<v Speaker 1>Hills Police station, he took his ideas. He took all
<v Speaker 1>of the conceptual designs that he had had for the
<v Speaker 1>Norrid scenes in War Games and made that into his
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills police station. If you go back and watch
<v Speaker 1>that movie and you see them looking at their screens,
<v Speaker 1>you can will immediately recognize, Hey, this is straight out
<v Speaker 1>of the War Games. Warworom Oh, I love it.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's good.
<v Speaker 1>All right.
<v Speaker 3>I got a question for you. Yes, Beverly Hills Cop One. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>I'm guessing you love this movie.
<v Speaker 1>I do love Beverly Hills Cup one. Yes.
<v Speaker 3>This movie involves stolen Barra bonds. Yes, and cocaine.
<v Speaker 1>Yes.
<v Speaker 3>There's another movie in the nineteen eighties that involves stolen
<v Speaker 3>bearer bonds and cocaine.
<v Speaker 1>Yes.
<v Speaker 3>Which of those movies?
<v Speaker 1>Do you prefer?
<v Speaker 3>Beverly Hills Cop or Diehard.
<v Speaker 1>Diehard? It's not even It's not close, Okay. I mean
<v Speaker 1>I love Beverly Hills Cop but Diehard is next level.
<v Speaker 1>It's Mount Rushmore. So yeah, sorry, there you go.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, interesting, Okay, very good?
<v Speaker 1>All right?
<v Speaker 3>Are we on to final judgment?
<v Speaker 1>Yes? I wonder if anybody wonders which one I'm gonna pick?
<v Speaker 3>Why don't you lead us off?
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've said it over and over again. I was
<v Speaker 1>really disappointed when I rewatched Beverly Hills Cop too. I
<v Speaker 1>rewatched Beverly Hills Cop One with my family over the summer.
<v Speaker 1>I was just like excited to watch it, and then
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I forgot how funny this was so good?
<v Speaker 1>So well, done so well, executed, meaningful, believable, all of
<v Speaker 1>it except maybe for the gunshot right right. And then
<v Speaker 1>I needed to watch Beverly Hills Cop Two. It's been
<v Speaker 1>a couple of decades since I've seen it, but I
<v Speaker 1>remembered loving it as a kid. But when I sat
<v Speaker 1>down to watch it again, from the very first scene,
<v Speaker 1>that very first bank robbery scene, I was immediately like, Ah,
<v Speaker 1>this is They're not doing this right. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>what's going on here. I expected better, you know, I expected, Hey,
<v Speaker 1>we've learned some things, and we brought in a new,
<v Speaker 1>very accomplished director and better screenwriters, and I think it
<v Speaker 1>all suffered. Like I agree with you, probably when I
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, I watched it and thought, oh, I
<v Speaker 1>had a great time, and then afterwards like, wow, what
<v Speaker 1>the heck was I doing there? Because that's what I
<v Speaker 1>was thinking the whole time, What the heck are they doing?
<v Speaker 1>A Number one, it's convoluted. Number two, they did things
<v Speaker 1>that didn't make any sense. And number three, the dialogue
<v Speaker 1>that they used was just off. It just nothing felt
<v Speaker 1>good about Beverly Hills Cop Two for me. And when
<v Speaker 1>I told you this initially you were like, have you
<v Speaker 1>seen Beverly Hills Cop three. Yeah, and I haven't because
<v Speaker 1>I've known from the beginning that it's a bad movie,
<v Speaker 1>and I don't watch I don't deliberately watch movies that
<v Speaker 1>I know is bad are bad. Right, So yeah, it's
<v Speaker 1>easily Beverly Hills Cop all day long, every day, twice
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. I don't think I'll probably ever watch part
<v Speaker 1>two again.
<v Speaker 3>Wow, this is like your vacation in Great Outdoors.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly, it's not even it's a landslide as you
<v Speaker 1>put it. It's a monumental landslide.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, all right, So I told you initially. I told
<v Speaker 3>you when we first started doing this that I have
<v Speaker 3>great affection for Beverly Hills Cop Part two because I
<v Speaker 3>was fourteen. It came out early that summer. I snuck
<v Speaker 3>into an R rated movie. Eddie Murphy's going crazy and
<v Speaker 3>having fun and being his crazy f bombself, and I
<v Speaker 3>just thought it was great fun. It was full throttle.
<v Speaker 3>It's a Tony Scott movie. I love Tony Scott movies.
<v Speaker 3>The soundtrack I think is good, the fun is high.
<v Speaker 3>We have a scene at the Playboy Mansion. It was
<v Speaker 3>everything that a fourteen year old wanted to see. However,
<v Speaker 3>upon rewatch Beverly Hills Cop, the first one is way better. Okay, now,
<v Speaker 3>then I don't feel like you. I do think that
<v Speaker 3>there's value in Beverly Hills Cop two, and I still
<v Speaker 3>have a great time. But the scenes that they I mean,
<v Speaker 3>they absolutely hit out of the park. In Beverly Hills
<v Speaker 3>Cop one, I mean, the truck scene at the very
<v Speaker 3>beginning is out of this world. The strip club scene
<v Speaker 3>in part one shows Axel's competence, his ability, his talent,
<v Speaker 3>and the second one is just a chance to throw
<v Speaker 3>some boobs into the movie. He's more obnoxious in part two.
<v Speaker 3>Eddie Murphy says that Beverly Hills Cop two was a
<v Speaker 3>half assed movie. I agree with him. Beverly Hills Cop
<v Speaker 3>is way better. Although I still have a great time
<v Speaker 3>watching Beverly Hills Cup Part two, especially since I've also
<v Speaker 3>seen Beverly Hills CP Part three, and after watching part three,
<v Speaker 3>I think the value meter goes up on two. Now
<v Speaker 3>they don't do everything right, but part three they literally
<v Speaker 3>do everything wrong.
<v Speaker 1>I think your words were like a kick in the nuts. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>if you want to hear more in depth analysis of
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills Cop Part three. Go check out our buddies
<v Speaker 1>at the thirty something Movie Podcast. They did a full
<v Speaker 1>episode on it. They were not excited about the movie either,
<v Speaker 1>but they do a great job with it.
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited, though, I don't care. I love hanging out
<v Speaker 3>with Axle fully. I'm ready this summer or whenever it's
<v Speaker 3>coming out. Yeah, to watch Beverly Hills Cop.
<v Speaker 1>Part four. We make a promise to you, guys, if
<v Speaker 1>we can do it, we will see that movie as
<v Speaker 1>soon as it's released, and we'll give you our review
<v Speaker 1>of Beverly Hills Cop.
<v Speaker 3>Axel Foley, Okay, do what do we have next week?
<v Speaker 1>Next week we have a little bit more Beverly Hills Cop.
<v Speaker 1>But now we're doing the soundtrack, you know, so we
<v Speaker 1>didn't cover it in our movie part because we're doing
<v Speaker 1>the full soundtrack because it was an incredible soundtrack. And
<v Speaker 1>then we are taking another fantastic cop driven soundtrack from
<v Speaker 1>the eighties nineteen eighty four, specifically Miami Vice.
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, I can't wait. That was such a moment
<v Speaker 3>in time. I can't wait to dive back into those
<v Speaker 3>songs and talk about that.
<v Speaker 1>Good dig it the most baby.
<v Speaker 3>All right, guys, we'll see you back here next week,
<v Speaker 3>I guess.
