Beverly Hills Cop II 1987

Beverly Hills Cop II is a 1987 American action comedy film directed by Tony Scott and written by Larry Ferguson and Warren Skaaren from a story by Eddie Murphy and Robert D. Wachs. A sequel to Beverly Hills Cop (1984) and the second installment in the Beverly Hills Cop film series, it stars Murphy, Judge Reinhold, Jürgen Prochnow, Ronny Cox, John Ashton, Brigitte Nielsen, Allen Garfield, and Paul Reiser. Set two years after the original film, it follows Detroit police detective Axel Foley (Murphy) as he reunites with Beverly Hills detectives Billy Rosewood (Reinhold) and John Taggart (Ashton) to investigate the shooting of Captain Andrew Bogomil (Cox) and stop the perpetrators behind a series of "Alphabet" robberies. Following the success of Beverly Hills Cop, Paramount Pictures initially considered adapting the property as a television series before Murphy agreed to return for a feature-film sequel. Scott was hired as director following the success of Top Gun (1986), and principal photography took place between November 1986 and March 1987.
