Eddie Murphy: Beverly Hills Cop
built 635 days ago
Misfortune with his personal finances... was offset by the box office success of Murphy's next film, Beverly Hills Cop II, released in 1987. As with The Golden Child, many critics downgraded the film. USA Today called it "a robotic, hard-sell sequel by folks whose Malibu Beach house mortgage payment is due." Maslin quipped, "Lively as it is, Beverly Hills Cop II can't help but suffer from the lack of any originality at all." Handleman exclaimed that Murphy "has ended up producing soulless, self-serving junk."
