“BEVERLY HILLS COP II”

The huge success of Eddie Murphy’s original action-comedy turn as Axel

Foley demanded a sequel, and it got one equally as fast and funny with this 1987 follow-up, new on 4K Ultra HD. Foley heads back to the West Coast from Detroit to probe the shooting of his police-chief friend (Ronny Cox), and his uncovering of illegal arms dealing puts him and his California detective pals (Judge Reinhold, John Ashton) back in the line of fire. Jurgen Prochnow, Brigitte Nielsen and Dean Stockwell are on the side of the bad guys here,and Playboy icon Hugh Hefner has an amusing cameo; Paul Reiser and Gil Hill also return from the first picture. Bob Seger, George Michael and James Ingram are

among those on the soundtrack. (R: AS, P, V)
