Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been trying to get Axel back on the big screen, and claims that a writer will be hired in the next couple months, but does Paramount want a PG-13 Beverly Hills Cop 4? When Chud asked the producer if an R-Rated fourth film would be possible in the now family friendly Eddie Murphy world, this is what he said:
“I think it’s going to be a really interesting debate, and it’s one we’re going to have for a while,” said di Bonaventura, who was then told by a punch of the junketers that there iss no sense in making a PG-13 Beverly Hills Cop IV. di Bonaventura responded, “Would you please call Paramount and tell them that?”
I think Live Free or Die Hard will be the true test. If that film becomes super successful, the PG-13 rating will be given a lot of credit. And that could be very bad for any future R-Rated sequels.

Well see it depends on the films of today.Kinda like The Blues Brothers its rated R but compared to the movies today its more like PG-13 and the others are kinda like that.

I’d love to see a Beverly Hills Cop IV!
But only if Martin Brest directs it! And I want an R-rating.
Yes, Brest’s film Gigli was a disaster. But he directed the best of BHC films (part one).
Martin deserves a second chance.

Wasn’t BHC3 PG-13?

Beverly Hills Cop 2 was superior to the first film. Now before you all go postal on me, let me tell yo why. The first film had to much humor and it was to silly. The jokes in the second movie were better timed and just better jokes, the humor wasn’t as silly as the first film and that allowed the plot and story to be avanced in the movie much better. Also, the theme song ” Shakedown ” in the second movie is better than the theme song ” The Heat is on ” in the first movie.

If they do make a Beverly Hills Cop 4, I really hope ‘Judge Reinhold’ (sp?) is in it. And the guy who played ‘Balke’ out of perfect strangers too (he was the gay hairdresser in Beverly Hills cop 3 if memory serves.) If they’re going to ressurect this great series, then at least give the older side-kicks a chance too please.

This movie will submit immense pressure to perform. He’s not going in on this to do another flop. The working model is the original movie, along with its successful sequel. So, Eddie, don’t waste our time with a personal version of Sesame Street or something with diapers attached. Ya’ better show us your “back-alley ways” before your too old do even do that…Get serious Eddie! Get another immitation of Mr. “T”, and by all means, get movin’!!!
