All the Ways ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ Pays Homage to the 1984 Original
"Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" director Mark Molloy and production designer Jahmin Assa on all the ways it pays homage to the 1984 original.
30 years after audiences last saw him, Axel returns to Beverly Hills after learning that his estranged daughter Jane (Taylour Paige), a criminal defense attorney, is working on a case that lands her in grave danger. In both of the first two films — notably, the only ones that Molloy and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have actually seen — Axel’s arrival in Beverly Hills begins his fish-out-of-water journey. To highlight the dramatic contrast between Detroit’s snow-covered neighborhoods and Beverly Hills’ sun-dappled paradise, Molloy opted to drop Axel onto one of the latter’s weathiest streets, Rodeo Drive, and then plunge him into another chaotic chase sequence.
