Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)

  The third and last movie of this series follows the same formula as the last one, there are no surprises, in fact it's worse than the second one. I did not like this movie, and I don't recommend it.

  The weakest in the series by quite a way. The first 2 were very good and I thought the second film was the best, just a bit slicker than the other two. It's a real shame that the Taggert character is not in this one. It starts with plenty of action but things get a bit silly and… More
  The weakest in the series by quite a way. The first 2 were very good and I thought the second film was the best, just a bit slicker than the other two. It's a real shame that the Taggert character is not in this one. It starts with plenty of action but things get a bit silly and camp at the wonderworld theme park. Good to see Bronson Pinchot, Serge, back from the first film though. Hopefully next years 4th installment will have as many of the characters from the original as possible and a better story than this.

  Time to call it a day, this was awful! Landis? How could you?

• Randy T

  
  I can't decide which is worse, plagiarist remakes or regurgitated sequels?

  Eddie Murphy's third outing as Detroit police detective Axel Foley who seems to have made more of a crime fighting contribution to Beverly Hills still generates some power in the series but the first two films are naturally the better ones. The film inexplicably removes the John Taggart (John Ashton) and Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) characters from the series and adds a shallow new character named John Flint (Hector Elizondo). Fortunately, Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) is still around and he still manages to be a perfect foil for Foley. Foley's third case in Beverly Hills is a little improbable but the action scenes help to make up for the plot which has to do with Foley matching wits with a corrupt head of security (Timothy Carhart) at a popular Beverly Hills amusement park called WonderWorld (a creation of Paramount Parks). The park character costumes and designs are nice and colorful and Theresa Randle helps to pick things up as a potential love interest for Foley but the film doesn't give Murphy very many funny lines and that is a disappointment if one wants to label this film as a comedy. The action is as usual great but Murphy is reknowned as a comedy star and the lack of laughs here prevent this from being a perfect series. Still, it's a very good series.

  A brillant piece of fun. Loaded with non-stop action and wicked comedy.

  classic like the others

  Eddie Murphy returns as Detriot cop Axel Foley where he journeys back to Beverly Hills for a real roller coaster thrill ride at the Wonderworld amusement park is bit bored, not much wild action-comedy than the sequels. But good to see most of the characters from the first two films back on board.

• Michael S

  
  Waste of time. Not the right way to end a great series.

• xGary X

  
  It was thought that if John Landis returned as director, this sequel would recapture the magic lost by the horrendous second film. They were wrong. Witless, unfunny and gratuitously violent.

• Jason S

  
  Funny but not as good as the first two.

• Leigh R

  
  Not as good as the first, but alright.

• Aaron N

  
  This movie issn't very good at all, but I have fun every time I see it. Murphy knows how to deliver one-liners.

  THe third time is not the charm and this film is awful. Now avenging his Police Captain from Detroit who is murdered helping him crack a auto theft ring, Axel goes back to California and ends up investigating a Amusement park run by the guy who used to Own Mr. Ed. It is silly, needlessly violent and just not a good film.

  Plot: While investigating a Detroit chop-shop, Axel sees his boss killed by a well dressed man. Axel traces the gang back to a theme park called WonderWorld and recognizes the main head of security, De Wald as the killer and must set out to prove it to a police force. In spite of the fact that this third installment carries a fairly original premise, certain elements and gags seem to be recycled for the first film. All in all, it still provides some entertainment and Eddie Murphy comes through with a likable performance.(Good but pales in comparison to its predecessors)

• kawai d

  
  Worst out of the three.

• Aurelius D

  
  Not the strongest in the series. It has some great parts and is a part of the series. I can see it as a progression of the characters but at the same time it just kinda felt like something was off.

• jason d

  
  bronson pinchot saves this from the garbage. BARELY. "ACKWELL FOLEE!"

• Sarah B

  
  Better than the 2nd film in the trilogy due to the lack of Nielsen, the amusement park setting and the return to what made the original: the characters. I adore Reinhold in this.

  Using my memory of when I saw it as a teenager, I gave it 1 1/2. However, I just seen it on cable recently. It is the worst one with bad direction but it is kinda funny. The funniest thing about it is how unrealistic it is. I mean Judge Reinhold is shot with a machine gun, yet… More
  Using my memory of when I saw it as a teenager, I gave it 1 1/2. However, I just seen it on cable recently. It is the worst one with bad direction but it is kinda funny. The funniest thing about it is how unrealistic it is. I mean Judge Reinhold is shot with a machine gun, yet he only has a sling on his arm in the end. Still, the script should've stayed in the garbage where they most likely found it.
