Gallery: Beverly Hills Cop

Eddie Murphy's Detroit detective Axel Foley takes his street smarts to LA's flashiest neighbourhood to solve a personal murder case. Inevitably, it takes a while for laid-back local cops John Ashton and Judge Reinhold to get used to Foley's brand of fast-talking, rule-breaking police work. Harold Faltermeyer's body-popping theme tune sets the tone for an explosive action comedy classic.
