“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” Director Mark Molloy on Capturing That Eddie Murphy Magic
Mark Molloy is just as much a fan of Beverly Hill Cop as you are. Growing up, the Australian native had an Axel Foley poster pinned to his bedroom wall and turned that into helming the fourth installment of the franchise, which hits Netflix on July 3, nearly 40 years after the original 1984 film.
This time, Foley (Eddie Murphy) finds himself in Beverly Hills protecting the life of his daughter Jane (Taylour Paige) as they uncover a conspiracy connected to the drug cartel.

Axel’s back, so every law-abiding citizen of Beverly Hills can breathe a great sigh of relief. The criminals? Not so much.
Netflix has just dropped the trailer for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which has Eddie Murphy reprising one of his most beloved roles, that of the Detroit cop Axel Foley, who first followed a case from the mean streets of Motor City to the posh environs of Los Angeles’ most bougie suburb back in 1984.
