STORYLINE:

"Beverly Hills Cop II" is the sequel to the hit 1984 film and sees Eddie Murphy reprising his role as the wise-cracking Detroit cop Axel Foley. In this installment, Foley returns to Beverly Hills to help his friends, Detectives Billy Rosewood and John Taggart, played by Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, investigate a series of "alphabet crimes." The film combines action and comedy, with Murphy's signature humor, as they uncover a criminal plot within the city's high society.
