Eddie Murphy is back as Axel Foley, the maverick detective who took Beverly Hills by storm. When a seemingly regular bust in Detroit uncovers a deadly underground operation, Axel heads to Los Angeles to corner the criminal leader. The corrupt headquarters of the killer happen to be Wonder World, an extremely popular Southern California amusement park. Axel enlists the help of old friend Sgt. Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and Jon Flint (Hector Elizondo) to hunt down the criminals, wreaking havoc at the popular park. This third installment of the popular series features some daredevil stunts on the amusement park rides and an action-packed rollercoaster finale.

The law of diminishing returns features yet again in this violent, noisy and predictable thriller that trades on past success but offers nothing for the future.

A-Team plot, Murphy's Law

A Customer from Scotland, 9th July, 2004

I must have reached for my glass or blinked and missed a major plot point or something because, for me, one minute Axel Foley was in Detroit and the next he was in Beverley Hills without explanation.

Not that it matters because we all know the main reason he goes to Beverly Hills is to recreate the first film as closely as possible. Unfortunately the culture shock jokes and the originality are no longer possible and the whole film just feels like a factory sequel. A typical example of the mood of the film is the reappearance of Serge and a nostalgic repeat of the 'espresso with a twist' and the 'get the --- out of here' gag.

Still, it has Eddie Murphy and even though he has few chances to BE Eddie Murphy he still raised a chuckle for me.
