Beverly Hills Cop- Remember when Eddie Murphy was amazing?



I present you with my favorite scene from Beverly Hills Cop.  I've already seen Beverly Hills Cop but I watched it again just for fun, and so should you.    

A little back story: I first saw this movie on TV when I was like 8 or something like that.  I had no idea that "Judge" could also be a name, so I thought that Judge Reinhold was just like a judge who did crazy buddy cop movies with Eddie Murphy on the side in between trials.  And I believed that for longer than I'd like to admit.  Luckily I figured it out before I watched Arrested Development because that would have been confusing.  Mockkkkk Triiallll with J. Reinholddddd.  I would have been like, yeah he's a judge so where's the joke?     

Anyway, I love this movie.  I love Eddie Murphy.  Why isn't he doing movies like this anymore?  Why did he think Norbit was a good idea?  Another back story, one time my mom was going to the store and I told her to bring me back a treat, and she brought home a Norbit DVD.  That's right, I fucking own Norbit.  Norbit is the only Eddie Murphy movie I own.  That is such a crime.  

Why didn't he bounce back after the Black Crusaders canceled his Oscar?  That was a 30 Rock reference.  Okay this post is getting way too referential.  You guys probably don't even watch any of these TV shows.  

And now the only people using this movie in any way are like high school girl's volleyball teams who warm-up to the Crazy Frog version of  Axel's theme song.  You know what I mean. Do do do Do Do do do do. Do DO DO do do do do.  That baby was made on like a synth in some guys basement probably.  

Everybody do me a favor and watch Beverly Hills Cop.  Let's appreciate this masterpiece.  Let's appreciate Eddie Murphy before he makes The Haunted Mansion 2 or Dr. Doolittle 7. 

Funny-o-meter: 9/10 only because I'm pretty sure Mrs. Doubtfire is the only movie on this list that will get a perfect 10/10 from me.  

Do do DO DO do do do.  Do DO DO do do do do
