First off, let me just say how sick and tired I am of people saying that Eddie Murphy is no longer funny! This man has continuosly re-invented himself, taking on risky projects when most stars of his stature stick with the same old formulas that they began their careers with (Tom Cruise in "MI-3"? What's the difference between THIS and "Top Gun" 20 years ago?!)Eddie Murphy was crucified for "Harlem Nights", "Vampire in Brooklyn", "Life", "Metro" et al. So much so that people overlooked his comedic genius in films such as "Coming to America", and the two "Nutty Proffesor" movies. Come on, not even Mike Meyers can play an ENTIRE family! And now Mr. Murphy is going to bring a new character to film lore, playing pompadoured manager James Early in the winter release, "Dreamgirls". And lets not forget that he is the highest grossing alum of Saturday Night Live...ever. Yes, besting even the great Adam Sandler. Thank you all for letting me rant. Now for my review: The summer of 1984 saw some great releases: Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins and Beverly Hills Cop. Actually Beverly Hills Cop wasn't released until the WINTER of '84, but when it was it quickly became a hit, even outgrossing Harrison Ford's second outing as Indy. Beverly Hills Cop is a movie of firsts: The first movie with a black lead to surpass the $100 million mark (it eventually grossed $186 million making it the highest grossing comedy of all time until "Home Alone" surpassed it in "90). The first action movie by legendary action producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. The first time that audiences were exposed to the genius of Bronson Pinchot. It is also, along with "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles", one of the most quotable comedies ever. How many times have you heard the "banana-in-the-tail-pipe" line? Or the "herpes symplex 10" gag? Or the part where Murphy sneaks into Victor Maitlin's warehouse and improvises an entire scene pretending that he's an inspector? Classic. For those of you who don't know, this movie was originally written as a vehicle for Sly Stallone, but due to contract negotiations breaking down, the part went to Murphy who was hot off his success with "48hrs." and "Trading Places". It would be extremelly difficult to imagine another actor as Axel Foley. Beverly Hills Cop II: This was the next feature for Simpson & Bruckheimer after the phenomenal success of "Top Gun". It was also their second collaboration with director Tony Scott(Top Gun). Murphy's career was soaring. The result: A fun, fast, funny, loud, sexy ride! I was 10 years old when this movie came out, and it was the first R-rated movie I was allowed to see. I remember seeing it on a Saturday afternoon with a packed house and not being able to hear much of the dialogue because of the roars of laughter. Nineteen years later it still holds up. This movie pretty much set the standard for action movies of the '90's. Don't the "Bad Boys" movies, "Armeggedon" and "Face-Off" remind you of BHC II? When you watch this movie you see such joy in Murphy's performance, along with Judge Reinhold, and John Aston. You want to jump in the screen and join in on their fun! I haven't seen such interplay between three comedic leads (and they're ALL comedic roles)since the Marx Brothers. Tony Scott interjects his high-action concepts well into the film, making for one grand comedy-action film. Beverly Hills Cop III: This movie alone is the ONLY problem I have with Mr. Murphy's career choices. How can you invent a character who is so fun. So full of life. So ribald. Carry that character for two movies, then turn him into a sleep-walking drip by the third installment? I watched these three films back-to-back-to-back one weekend and was astonished and appaled by the transformation Axel Foley went from BHC II to BHC III. I remember when BHC III was being made and all of the drama surrounding it. Murphy demanding (and getting) an astronmical fee. The epic fights he and director John Landis engaged in on-set. Endless script problems. And for what? THIS!? The two previous flicks I told you what was RIGHT with them, this one I will tell you what's WRONG with it. First off: What happened to the Marx Brothers effect? Part of what made the first two films successful was the interplay between Foley, Taggert and Rosewood. This one has Taggert completely removed and Billy (Rosewood) is confined to a DESK for most of the film. The villain is someone you don't love to hate (remember how evil Victor Maitlin was, or how clever Brigitte Nielson and Jurgen Prochnow were), heck he doesn't even REGISTER! Where was the profanity laced back-and-forth between Murphy and his Chief that we got addicted to in the first films? Where is Murphy's sidekick Jeffrey (Paul Reiser)? None of these missing elements makes for a fun sequel. Apparently the script problems remained just that... a problem. And to top it all off: Murphy isn't even having any fun. With every tossed off line, or half-hearted attempt at being funny, Murphy shows us clealrly that he's here just for the money. The horror, the horror. This one came out in '94 and the '90's weren't kind to Mr. Murphy. I feel that he was doing a lot of growing and experimenting as an artist during this time, but he had this chance (along with Nutty Proffesor later) to remind us of the greatness he once, and still does, have.

This was a great pick up for me! I love these movies, so to have them all in one package is a great deal! I read some of the reviews before buying, just because i saw a couple of poor responses and most mentioned that for a Blu-ray release, the video was grainy. I saw this as well upon first watching the first movie on my 4k Hisense tv, but after quickly switching through the 5 or 6...I can't remember... preloaded display options (theater, game, vivid) I found an option that wasn't grainy, but still made a movie from the mid-80s look good. Glad I bought these movies!

Great addition to any collection. All the movies from this series in one package. On top of that, at a great price.

1st movie great, 2nd follow up... eh, Ok, but the bad guy & gals actors/actress played their parts better then the star cast. The third movie was again, ok, but not up to the standards of the 1st. Some sequels just don't make the grade, and this is no exception. Good price for all three though and satisfied with the purchase and a chance to watch all 3 again.

Eddie Murphy at his 👌 best!

Glad to see them again don’t see them on tv anymore

Great price great value.

Somehow I managed to go through my entire life without seeing these movies! Not sure how that's possible, but it was true up until about a week ago. I really wasn't sure what to expect given that they're about 30 years old now and a lot of 80's movies don't hold up well over that much time. But I was pleasantly surprised! I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 films and was super happy to find them all in one set together for such a great price! I will definitely be watching these again because I enjoyed them so much! Eddie Murphy was wonderful of course, but to be honest I found some of the supporting cast to be a huge reason why I liked these so much! Judge Reinhold was excellent paired with John Ashton, their comedy together was spot on. Plus after watching the special features on the first movie and getting some behind the scenes insight into their relationship and how some of their funniest moments came to pass, just made it all the more enjoyable to watch! But the one performance which brought me to purchase these films in the first place and will keep me coming back for more is Bronson Pinchot as Serge! His role was small but he's a scene stealer! I felt the need to go back and rewatch his scenes several times because he was so hilarious!! I would definitely recommend this set to anyone who's looking for something funny and action packed to watch! I wasn't disappointed!

Not only is this DVD set a must have for Eddie Murphy fans, it it also an essential buy for fans of both comedy and action films! Although there are perhaps films more funny or with more action then these, there are few that have managed to blend the two together so well. In terms of comedy, the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy shows Murphy at his finest. Comedy highlights include the hilarious and clever way in which he cons his way into a top hotel in the first film and how he manages to 'steal' a whole house to stay in during the second film. The action is both fast paced and funny as the classic car chase scenes in the first two are improved by music from the Pointer Sisters and by Murphy's comments and facial expressions in the second and third films. All three films are superb, although possibly the third film is weakest in terms of plot, but it does contain some of the funniest scenes such as when Murphy attempts to make the intercom work at the police station and ends up leaving his car at the entrance. All three films are made better by the great soundtracks that acompany them(i've got the first two) and songs such as 'Shakedown' and 'Stir it Up' keep the fast pace of the film going and of course 'Axel F' is one of the most popular tracks from a movie of all time! With the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy, Murphy has without a doubt created one of my favourite movie characters of all time, Axel Foley I love you!

I picked these up for £5 which adds to the star rating for me. The BC1 being the best and worth £5 on it's own. The remaining 2 films I see as 2 free films in the pack! The BC2 was OK and enjoyable, BC3 you watch because you feel you have to, but prepare to groan a little. BC1 is the film that put Eddie Murphy on my map I just loved it, great music, great storyline and just good fun. Axel F character is just infectious and such a bad influence on by-the-book cops. I don't think this film has aged, whereas BC3 is not holding well, but not so bad that you feel you wasted time watching it. Blu-Ray quality is very good considering the age of the films. Audio is just as good and seems balanced, I just love the 2 Patti Labelle tracks on the first film. If you are a fan of 80s films, this is definitely one to get, but I wouldn't be spending much more than about £8 for the set.

Es gibt schon einige Version und vor ein paar Jahren gab es alle 3 Teile in einer Box mit ein paar Extras ( Beverly Hills Cop 1-3 (Limited Edition, Box Set) ). Nun gibt es wieder alle Teil in einem Steelbook mit einem tollen und großen Plakat zu einem günstigen Preis. Die Extras sind die selben wie auf den normalen Einzel-Disc. Auf der Rückseite des Steelbooks findet man auch keine Beschreibung der Film aber die kennt man eigentlich schon. Ich werde hier auch keinen Inhalt beschreiben, da kann man bei den einzelnen Filmen schauen. Mein Lieblingsteil ist der 3. da dieser in einem Vergnügungspark spielt und einfach der Beste von allen ist. Man findet in diesem mehr Witz und mehr Charme. In diesem Set findet man eine der besten Trilogien aller Zeiten und ich hoffe, dass es keinen 4. Teil gibt. Dieser wäre nur mit der Originalen Besetzung in Ordnung.

Wow très bonne trilogie
