So what brings you to California, Axel? Vacation? I'm looking for a killer. One, please. We've got some evidence that points to one the world.

He killed a friend of mine. You just keep him out of my face and out of my park. Ladies gentlemen, it is a tremendous surprise for Mr. Duol to have me standing right next to him right now. You know, right now I can feel his body tingling.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Bring that man down. Culled right on the spider. Hold on tight. I'm okay. Axel. Hey, hey, hey. Officers, I want this man arrested. I'm sure you can explain everything or maybe you can't explain anything.
Starting point is 00:03:11 You're going back to Detroit. You've got to turn. yourself in man why is it so happy you all to see there's something rotten going on at that park kill him right i'm like dazzled by you look look at your skin and your hair and then finally you have black hash puppies which are totally retro which I love you put a really good package together if the people want to hear synopsis here it goes Google is back with the lengthy synopsis let's see when his boss has killed Detroit cop Alex Folley
Starting point is 00:04:01 His name is Alex Foley I thought it was Axel Okay finds evidence that The murder Fines evidence that the murder Has ties to California amusement park Called Wonderland
Starting point is 00:04:16 Returning to Beverly Hills Once more Foley reunites with detective Billy Rosewood I don't think he's a detective To solve the case Along with Oh sorry
Starting point is 00:04:27 Clicking on something clicked on a new partner John Flint they discovered that the security force of Wonderworld is actually part of the counterfeit money operation headed by part manager orin sanderfield sanderson yes I don't even know if I caught his name during the whole movie I didn't either I just saw John Saxon that's all it's all right I'm dv with the correction axel foley while investigating a car theft ring comes across something much bigger than that. The same men who killed his boss are running a counterfeit money ring out of a theme park in Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I like that a little bit more. This is directed by John Landis. Shut the fuck up. Really? Yeah, and it was terrible. I didn't even know this. After Blues Brose,
Starting point is 00:05:29 brothers 2000 this is probably one of his worst films goodness written written by Stephen E. DeSouza starring Eddie Murphy judge Reinhold Hector Elizondo is that how you say his last name okay Teresa Randall looking good as always Alan Young as we said John Sexton RIP Timothy Carrhart Stephen McCatty Nez
Starting point is 00:06:02 I know this took us both A couple tries to watch it But what did you think Oh man This is one of those movies And what we were talking about When Eddie signed that big crazy Picture deal
Starting point is 00:06:18 With Paramount And It didn't feel like Beverly Hills cop It didn't feel like a John Landis film from what I understand Eddie Murphy was just not in a good state of mind while he was doing this. I guess he was
Starting point is 00:06:38 battling some kind of depression from I don't know I didn't really read into what was going on in his life but it just seemed like he was phoning and in at times I mean there wasn't that much
Starting point is 00:06:54 one-liner it was like he was doing with the first two films or ad libbing stuff for me it was he just read was in the script and it wasn't funny he didn't do his signature laugh
Starting point is 00:07:08 until like the end of the movie uh little cameos of um george Lucas and uh john singleton rest in peace I just I don't know I didn't like I didn't like it at all
Starting point is 00:07:22 I mean it had its funny parts I mean Bronson Pinchow is um Serge or however you say his name. It was good to see him. I love that scene, but it just, it was a little too long. I was kind of like, okay, did you need this whole big buildup? Because in the first film when he was in, he was only like seconds, maybe a minute if that, but. I'm surprised they didn't make him part of the team in this one.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Yeah. Okay. I mean, I would have accepted it, but. I mean, at least he kind of served a purpose in this one, but we'll get to that when we get to it because that one's stupid. But good to see that Judge Reinhold, Billy, he came back. I guess Taggart and Ronnie Cox just must have read the script and said,
Starting point is 00:08:18 now we're good. Yeah, I'm reading something here. Asked in 1989 about a third installment. Murphy said there's no reading. reason to do it. I don't need the money. It's not going to break any new grounds. So that told you what he thought about going into the movie. Yeah. I mean, it had its parts. The amusement park that they used, Wonderworld was Great America in Santa Clara. Well, at this time, Paramount bought it. So they changed it to
Starting point is 00:08:56 Paramount's Great America. I think that's what it's still called now. Some of the rides that are there that they showed in the movie were some of my favorite rides and there was a ride in the background. It was called the tidal wave. That's not there anymore. So it was cool to see that because, I mean, just this park just brought me back to my childhood.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I mean, we used to go there like every summer and sometimes on Halloween when they had their Halloween horror nights or whatever they could. called it. They also used Universal Studios, a part of the tram ride in the part when they were under, like in that train, that train kind of broke apart and the water came crashing down and that truck, that earthquake scene. That was all Universal Studios. Um, and I think that was, that was the only thing I really liked was that they used that park. But, I mean, it was the story I didn't really like what it was. Okay, it was a way to get Eddie back from or Axel back from Detroit to California.
Starting point is 00:10:10 It was stupid. Yeah, but it just. These guys just happen to be in a certain spot where a certain cop who has ties to Beverly Hills is going to all so coincidental that it all went down like that. Yeah, I was Did you say you had the Blu-ray set of all three of them? Yeah. I'll probably never watch the third one.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I only watched them because we're doing it. Yeah, it's, oh my gosh, man. It's like, okay, the first two, in my opinion, were a perfect mix of action and comedy. And this one, they tried to go more comedy. And the tone was off because it felt like PG Eddie, but there was times he was dropping F bombs
Starting point is 00:11:00 and it didn't feel right. And then Billy somehow is older and is promoted to a higher position, but yet the way he acts is like he went back to the first one and it was more like just kind of goofy and naive. And Wonderland and its fucking security team of random guys that you always see in action movies in the 90s.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I just, this movie just missed the marks so much. Yeah, the park is like at least seven hours away from Beverly Hills. I mean, it's more north, closer to San Jose, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:11:49 I just, it just wasn't a good movie. I mean, I love, I grew up watching John Landis movies. I mean, you got the great American world from London. You got Blues Brothers Trading Places. I mean, coming to America. And yeah, that was issues with the Twilight Zone movie. But, I mean, there was, he did a bunch of good movies.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Animal House. And then you get this one. I mean, I remember going, all I, when I went and seen this the first time, I was like, okay, Eddie Murphy. Beverly Hills cop cool and then when I saw that when the movie was over and I saw that John Landis was the one I was like really
Starting point is 00:12:30 and I just I don't know this one was just it looked like a TV movie it didn't look like a movie movie I don't know I mean it just the way they shot it it just
Starting point is 00:12:46 you could clearly see a lot of it was just in like in a movie studio where they just built the sets. I mean, even at times when they were outside, like in the beginning when they were in Detroit, that all seemed like it was on just a big set. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:02 it seemed like it was it was like polished and clean and just, the first two were a little bit more gritty. Yeah, but this one, it was just the story is Axel is they're getting ready to bust these
Starting point is 00:13:20 guys at a stolen car ring. front, but the stolen car guy, the dudes, they were, that whole dance scene was stupid in the very beginning. I love those actors that were in it, but. Yeah, they needed that to go down because there's no need to be dancing around in a chop shop. Yeah. You calm down.
Starting point is 00:13:44 And I was, so then you get the bad guys. What's his name? He was the leader. What was the bad guy? bad guy's name Sanderson Sanderson Something
Starting point is 00:14:00 Sanderson Yeah I'm trying to look at the pictures My eyes are bad I can't even see anyone's Ellis DeWall Yeah him They go there And
Starting point is 00:14:15 The chop shop guys They have this big White truck And it's full of boxes Or crates And it just said Property of US government.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I mean, that was all set on. At that time, we didn't know what it was. So they're buying something that these guys stole and unbelievable because I don't think you could steal that stuff, but okay. Not these guys. And then Eddie comes in and then he foils their deal and there's a big old shootout. What's his name was there? The police chief.
Starting point is 00:15:03 What the heck was his name? He was in all the first two films as well. Oh, his name was Todd. Inspector Todd. Yeah, he was there just kind of just to observe the whole, the bust and everything. And then once Eddie goes in and kind of foils everything, and then it turns into a big shootout. Earlier they were sent shoot,
Starting point is 00:15:31 Todd, Detective Todd or Inspector Todd, he was like, you guys should bring in SWAT. And they're like, we don't need SWAT. We don't need SWAT. We'll just go in there and do what we got to do and get out. Did you think the way they kept focusing on the other cops, like neither they was involved or they were going to be involved in some way? No, it just kind of seemed like they were all just there.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I mean, they didn't really concentrate on anyone, really. I mean, they, yeah, they had lines, but it just didn't, other than you didn't know who they were. I mean, it seemed to care when Todd got killed either. Yeah, I mean, Axel was the only one that seemed like he cared. But, yeah, once they go in and then the shootout starts, all the bad guys have machine guns, and then they jump in the truck and take off. one of the
Starting point is 00:16:26 one of the guys shoots Inspector Todd because he he pulls his gun out as well and starts blasting fools but then he gets riddled with bullets and he goes down and yeah
Starting point is 00:16:38 and in the first two movies he was always talking shit and he was talking shit all the way to today to his end to his very last breath because he got Foley
Starting point is 00:16:48 he's like Foley what do you want a coffee break go get them motherfuckers or whatever the hell he said And then he just dropped. If this was the 80s, he would have said something that you can't say now, I feel like. So.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And then Eddie goes running after those guys. And then he comes across, the bad guys end up getting away. And then he comes up to these Secret Service guys. That one dude that was in, was it Pontypool? Was that that movie he was? in? Yeah. What's his name?
Starting point is 00:17:29 Stephen McCatty. Yeah, him. He's there and with two other officer or two other agents and they're like, well, who are you? And he goes, you guys just let the bad guys get away and all this. And they're like, no, they're, you need to stay out of this. This is our case. But Axel's like, oh, hell no. And then, uh, expect.
Starting point is 00:17:54 The inspector Todd dies. They have his funeral. But when he went, when Axel's talking to his family, they kind of tongue can just please can you solve this case? And then at this point, Eddie finds out that that truck was led to Wonderworld in Beverly Hills. So they end up going out there to look for those truck. We didn't get a montage, did we, of Beverly Hills this time? No, it just went boom right to the police station. Yeah, okay. And that's not the Beverly Hills police station, but okay.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I don't know what that place was. It looked like a big palace. And today's technology, well, at this time, the technology, what was? That was that long ago? Shit, 27. My daughter's 20. Yeah, 27 years ago. Shit.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Oh, anyway. That whole thing at the speaker and the automated, who are you going to see? And I was like, really? Okay. So if he ends up going to see Billy and then Billy is not just the regular detective anymore, he was operational command of the
Starting point is 00:19:09 DO, the DDOJS IOC. I'm reading this, everyone. It's fucking made up position. The deputy director of operations for joint systems, in inter department departmental operational command whatever that means so that's what he's doing now yeah basically it seems like when a certain area of his map lights up he just coordinates what
Starting point is 00:19:43 cops need to be in that area that's what i got from it so i don't know what this long name is for Yeah, I mean, basically he's just an operator, just telling them where to go. But I mean, isn't that what 911 guys do? But okay. Not in Beverly Hills. You get to go straight to the top. So, yeah, he goes there and he tells Billy what's up. And Billy's kind of like, well, I'll do what I'll do what I can do.
Starting point is 00:20:16 And then they end up finding the truck. down by the beach, but it's empty. And that's when they kind of figured it was a part of Wonderworld. I can't remember what they found in unless they just ran the place. I don't remember. So, I mean, Billy is kind of telling them, don't go there. I mean, I know you. And is it going to turn into something?
Starting point is 00:20:44 But Axles wants to find the killer. of his boss. So he goes to the park. And, no, he meets John Flint, detective, John Flint. Did you think he was going to be a bad guy? I don't know. I don't even see what the point of him there. I don't know if he was supposed to be serious, comedic relief.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I was trying to figure out why is this Beverly Hills department, police department only have old detectives? in every movie, like nobody's young. If they're young, they're just working at a desk somewhere. I kind of did for a second because he kept saying, oh, Ellis DeWalt, you know, my good friend, that's my buddy, you know, I hook you up. And I'm kind of, it kind of seems like when you talk to Ellis DeWalt, like he kind of seems like he has something, like he's scheming on something.
Starting point is 00:21:42 So I could see why anybody would think he's in on it. it was I think he was just replacing Taggart I mean that's no replacing Taggart I know but they needed an actor
Starting point is 00:21:56 they couldn't I think it could have been just fine with the Axel and Billy but I didn't make the movie so Eddie goes there this part was funny
Starting point is 00:22:07 and when Eddie's trying he wants to go into the park but the only way he can get in is to buy a ticket and it was only like 30 bucks or something like that that's cheap that's cheap for 94
Starting point is 00:22:22 I don't know I don't know how much it costs to go to Great America now but I'm sure it's not um $30 94 prices I'm taking a whole family now I got to see what the prices are
Starting point is 00:22:41 it's got to be at least 50 60 bucks for a ticket I would say if that yeah it would still in the same spot um but it's i have not been last time i was there my key my older two were really little like it's not called paramounts anymore it's just called california it's great america okay let me see how much um well they're they're opening back up so i guess 59 99. That's like almost $30 more. And that's for ages three and older.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Three years old, you have to pay a $60 ticket. Yeah, that's when you get the kid to say there, too. You do what you got to do, I guess, man. Someone, someone asks you how old, just hold up two fingers. I did that to my son for the little. longest just telling me of this age and $60. No, I'm good. But so he goes there and the,
Starting point is 00:23:55 why were those guys following him? Is it just because he was kind of causing a disturbance? Yeah. Security guides. They told him if he, if the ticket, if the price amount was too high that he can go down the street to fantasy world or fantasy island. or whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Well, I'll tell you there's nothing around there. I mean, that's the only, well, you could go over the hill to Santa Cruz. That's about another hour away south. You don't want vampires and all that getting you. According to them, another amusement park is just down the, down the street. There's nothing down the street, but office buildings in that bus to ass 49ers stadium is right in the other side of the parking lot. So he goes in and then it pays to gets into the park and then he just does his little sneaking around. I don't know how he found out where to go.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I can tell you this, man, none of those doors are unlocked. Every door that you're not where the public can't be is locked. And there would be cameras everywhere. but he he makes it in goes kind of underground to see what's going on and this this is when he found out what was happening right uh not yet he uh this is when he meets teresa randall according to wikipedia they become friends instantly so that's right because he was down there and then that's when she showed him um the alien attack ride or whatever and that's with the whole that that scene was shot at universal studios yeah this is where he meets he gets
Starting point is 00:25:53 the security finds him catches them they take him bags where we meet john saxon the head of park security and or whatever he was and this is when ellis de walt comes in and of course folly seen him at the chop shop so he automatically is like that's the guy I asked a guy and of course nobody else to Walt's supposed to be this kind of nice guy and nobody would believe he would ever be a killer or something he's ahead of the I think they said he's the head of the largest security company in the west coast or something okay but yeah that that part was funny because when that guy came walking and he goes you're the motherfucker that killed my boss nah and tried to rush him with all those guys grab
Starting point is 00:26:43 And I can tell you right now, none of the security at that park have guns. All the guys had guns. They don't carry around automatics? No. There is some armed security there, but they look like the police officers. Are they big like these guys? No. A little old guy.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Well, I don't know. Maybe back then, I don't know how they are now. I know. I'm sure that place can get wild now. Yeah. I don't know if I want to take my kids to amusement parks with big-ass security guards with automatic weapons. I know. And it's in California and no one can have automatic weapons, California, unless the police and the sheriff's department. Yeah, they can. Yeah, they can. But private security, I don't think so. Do they chase him?
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yeah, they chase him. And I think this is where we get the whole Ferris wheel, whatever situation where he has to save today. And I hate the music for this movie. Oh, yeah. They use the Axel F song for pretty much every single scene.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And it's not even like, how it was in the first two films. It's, they redid it. And they modernized it. Yeah, it didn't sound good. And then every time there'd be an orchestral version of it, and then there'll be a little happy version of it, like during the ride. I was like, oh, that was getting sick of that song.
Starting point is 00:28:36 If they do a fourth one, just go back to the original. It holds up. Yeah. I mean, this one didn't even have a. a hit song for it. I mean, you got a bunch of songs in the first one. The only song I really remember, excuse me,
Starting point is 00:28:54 was the Bob Seeger one, the Shakedown for the second film. Maybe they approached people and they read the script. And they was like, uh, no. Yeah, I,
Starting point is 00:29:06 yeah, I mean, whatever the song that was in this one, it wasn't a hit. So I couldn't even tell you what it was. but yeah that did the the use of axel f in this song was just terrible it made me hate that song and i can listen to the original version all day but the all the ones in this one i was like oh my god i mean i mean nothing against the the composers and everyone that that performed these songs
Starting point is 00:29:36 throughout the whole movie but i was it was just getting tiring i was like yeah it's like you didn't even want to see Axel do anything because you're going to have to hear that music. Yeah, I mean, he could just be walking around and trying to hide and then it'll come on in some crazy form. I was like, oh, my God. Yeah, but I'll give it to the stuntman for this scene because when that ride is actually fun. I mean, that's one of my favorite rides at the park. I mean, it's nothing. You just get in in the round type of thing.
Starting point is 00:30:11 and cage like bird cage looking things and it just spins around. I mean, it's cool. It goes up. I think there's three arms. Those spin as the whole thing is spinning with it. You just sit in it. I mean, it is what it is. But, I mean, I'll give it to that stuntman that was crawling around on the outside.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Every time they showed Axel or Eddie Murphy, you clearly it was green screen and I was like no but all right and security guards you don't you don't flip the levers up and down randomly and press buttons to make it stop yeah um and this was the same when we got uh George Lucas guess he just had nothing to do that day and drove down the Great America but um okay um but yeah I mean that that that they were chasing Axel and he just jumped on that ride. And I'm like, really? All they had to do was just stand there and wait at the bottom for the ride to stop and bring him down.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I mean, he's got to eventually get off. Yeah. So it's like, you're not going to get away. They're just going to sit there and wait for you. But it kind of malfunctions and two little kids are hanging on for their lives. And Axel springs into action to help them. Again, shout out to. whoever the stunt man was that was actually on out on the outskirts of the on the
Starting point is 00:31:45 outside of that ride as it was moving I mean I give it to every stunt man and stunt woman that does all these dangerous things because I'm sure there was nets and all that at the bottom it just if there was a little mishap but it it looked bad when they showed Eddie Murphy climbing around on those things it just did not look good at all. I was just rolling my eyes with the special effects, but I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:17 There was a shot. I don't know if it was at the end when they show the whole park. The front part with the merry go around was real and everything else around it was fake. I was like, ah, it didn't even look good for that. So Eddie
Starting point is 00:32:34 saves the day, saves the two little kids. did he jump down and run? Is this when the security pulled out the guns? He, let me try to remember this horrible movie. He, he,
Starting point is 00:32:51 for no, he drops down with the kids, jumps out the way because the little thing they was in fell to the ground, and they go, kids go to their mothers, everybody's cheering, Eddie's smiling, and that's when the security snatches them up.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Okay, the guards accidentally jammed the ride, placing two little kids lives in danger. Axel rescues them and subsequently taken to the park manager or in Sanderson. That was John Saxon. When DeWald is called into contest to claim that Axel's
Starting point is 00:33:21 attacked by security, men without prior challenge. Axel immediately. Okay, this is when he recognized. Okay, we had the wall switched. Yeah, but this still doesn't make this movie good. So that's when he sees him
Starting point is 00:33:37 and realize what's going on. Let me see, but Axel immediately recognizes the wall as Todd's killer, but Rosewood and Flint refused to believe that claim because the wall just keeping an impeccable public reputation. However, Axel is later visited by Uncle Dave and Janice, who informed him that the Wonder World Park designer and Dave's close friend, Roger Fry, is mysteriously disappeared while in the grounds two weeks ago. Leaving only a letter with a cryptic message. All right. I don't even remember this point. I remember him meeting him.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yeah, I remember everybody being so excited that he met him, especially Billy. He was like, you my uncle, Dave. Did he do the okey dokey shuffle? I was like, what is that?
Starting point is 00:34:31 Okay, all right. Now I remember. I mean, um, the message that, uh, The Uncle Dave got from his, his friend, it was on a piece of paper. But they were kind of, they weren't, at this time, they weren't really sure what it was.
Starting point is 00:34:50 So they're still trying to figure out what's happening. And. Oh, from the van earlier, they had a little piece of a paper. Yeah. Okay. Because, and then when Eddie sees. that he has that one then he sees the one the uncle david has and then that's when he's kind of feeling it and it realizes this is um paper that they use for um to to make money is billy give him a 50
Starting point is 00:35:23 yeah he doesn't give back so um i think they left the park for a while is this when they went to the um like that that banquet or whatever Yeah, this is where a serge comes in. Try to say sage, not surge. It's like a detergent. I like that part because when they go walking in, Billy and Axel, and then Serge is off to the side dealing with some customers, and he's like, Axel, Axel, Axelpholene runs up to him.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Aquil. Yeah. Axel's looking at him like, gosh. Serge. He goes, Serge, Seasailing. I do like him in this movie. Axel's like, you know, do you still work at the art thing? He was like, no, I don't work there no more. You shot my boss.
Starting point is 00:36:28 And he goes, what do you guys do? Or then he goes, Billy, how are you doing? And then Billy's kind of looking at him. But then he said, remember, I made you espresso with the little lemon twist. And goes, oh, yeah. And then he goes, what are you doing here? And he goes, oh, and he goes, I'm into guns. And his little booth was a survival boutique.
Starting point is 00:36:51 And he goes from art, so selling art to being an arms dealer. I was like, okay. He just kind of shows him what he's doing. He shows him this little keychain thing that's like, I guess, when you open it, it shines this really bright light. As soon as he said, I said, okay, I know where it's going. going. But so then he goes, okay, it goes, oh, this is the thing that we're real.
Starting point is 00:37:18 This scene went on and on, but it was still funny. He shows him the Eliminator 3000 or whatever the hell that thing was called. It was a gun, a machine gun. It had a compact display on it. It had a microwave. And I think it was a flimbing. thrower and no was like a rocket launcher.
Starting point is 00:37:46 It shoots a net plays music. It just looks stupid. I mean shout out to the guys that made it. They made it for the movie, but I'm like how the hell
Starting point is 00:38:03 are you going to carry this giant thing and try to kill or whatever because he was saying that yeah everyone everyone this is it's on back order i mean the semester solone bought like 20 of them or some stupid shit like that um i'm not gonna be able to sleep until i remember what that thing i want to say was
Starting point is 00:38:28 the idea of an annihilator or the eliminator something i can't i can't really remember exactly but it just looks it looks stupid it looked like a big box with the gun barrel sticking out of the front. Oh, my God. This seems funny, but let me, okay, here it is. What's it called? The Annihilator 2000.
Starting point is 00:39:06 That's what it's called. All right. I'm looking at a picture of it. Yeah, you got the microwave. I mean, this thing's, it looks like one of those big old school giant radios from back in the day i don't even think they make those anymore but it's got a it looks like it weighs like i can a thousand pounds um it's got the rock at laundry on the very bottom it's got these crazy handles that you
Starting point is 00:39:31 hold to hold it uh it's got the barrel of a looks like an m16 in the front and then it's got the microwave and the cd player and the speakers and oh my god i don't I don't know who other than if they did make something like this. I mean, I don't know who would buy it. But if someone gave me one of these, like the prop from the movie, I'll take it. But this scene went on and on, but it's basically just showing how it worked. Fax machine and cell phone. Not even the cell phone, like the big giant phone with a cordon.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Jackie Stallone and Ja Jaja Gabor also Preach yourself Oh my God, but And then they're like, hey, hey, well, it was a good seeing it. So they end up leaving And that's when they go in To the banquet and
Starting point is 00:40:30 What the hell is that guy's name? The Walt. He's getting like the Security Man of the Year or something award and Axel goes in there and I don't even remember what he said. He just kind of like took over the mic and he's basically saying he's making it seem like he is a good guy, but he's telling everybody the people of Detroit and me
Starting point is 00:40:59 are going to make sure he gets everything he deserves or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, it was kind of stupid actually. This seed. Did he tackle him? Yeah. Did he punch him? Yeah, because they had their arms around each other.
Starting point is 00:41:20 And then he like whispered something about shooting Todd. And then he like punched him. Oh, that's right. And then the security came and Axel, him and Billy take off. I think this is when after that scene is when they go. he has to meet Uncle Dave and I think that's when Uncle Dave tells him
Starting point is 00:41:46 what's going on doesn't and doesn't this is when Uncle Dave gets shot yeah DeWalt shows up and some I don't remember where but he he has Foley's gun and that's what he uses to shoot Uncle Dave and then
Starting point is 00:42:03 it gets all over the news and apparently Uncle Dave's that guy because everybody's just like uncle dave got shot yeah he um did he find out did did axel find out what they were doing at wonder old before uncle dave got shot i think he's figuring it out now because uh i think that's what he was telling uncle dave what was going on And then they knew that he was going to go see Uncle Dave. So that's how they were there because they followed him. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Yeah. Because, yeah, Uncle Dave gets shot. And then Axelon just taken off because the wall was going to set him up saying that he was the one. And the news got there quick because when Axel was trying to hide out like that bar or whatever, it was already on the news. It's saying. Oh, this racist scene. he says yeah he says something like there's two cops at the bar and he asked a question oh where's the restroom and then he goes and then on the radios looking for a black suspect and
Starting point is 00:43:20 they were like oh my gosh that was him i was like wow well he was like the only black guy in that place and in beverly hills and i'm like okay so it's got to be him yeah so everyone's uh chasing him and he ends up taking off. I want to say he goes back to the park and this is when he finds that they're making counterfeit money. They're using the big press or was that before all this? He's going there to find that,
Starting point is 00:43:55 but he, I think this is, he has to go see Sarge to get Sarge. He has to get weapons. I think we missed, this scene because when he finds out that what they're doing that the stuff that was in those boxes in the beginning were the paper
Starting point is 00:44:16 the money the paper they used to make money the real paper not the counterfeit stuff that everyone uses but they were going to print their own money I guess oh that's right he he goes there again and Flint is there and the the fucking FBI guy and he's telling him all everybody about the the counterfeit thing and they go back and
Starting point is 00:44:41 there is a machine that prints money but it's a wonder bucks or something like that yeah and it's got um didn't have uncle dave's face on it or was it the moose or whatever the mascot it was yeah whatever he wasn't and that uh that's when they're the police and we're like come on actually yeah so so flint takes him out of there because he's supposed to to drive him to the airport or wherever and he runs out jumps out the car runs away and this is when he goes to uh serge and he needs weapons and all serge serge has is uh the eliminator 2000 but he has to have his uh guy uh clean it up first because you know it's a floor model and people have been touching it he's like just just get some cognac and and wipe it down and
Starting point is 00:45:35 in its case. Yeah. So, yeah, Axel, it's in this big bag or whatever. Axel goes back to Fun World or Wonder World or Wonder World. It goes back there.
Starting point is 00:45:47 And security, I mean, there's other than there's cameras everywhere. Security sees him and he, because Axel goes up and throws that gun over the fence. So then he goes back in. And he got that, he got the gun before he went back in.
Starting point is 00:46:05 to the underworld part, right? Yeah, because this is when he goes through all the functions that, I mean, I guess it's kind of funny because every time he's like trying to use one of the functions, like the security guy starts backing up and then it'll
Starting point is 00:46:23 like play music or something, I don't know. And that net was completely useless. Yeah. Didn't even open up. No, it was, it was dumb. Because the security, they all see him.
Starting point is 00:46:44 What's his name? John Saxon is the one that sees him. And all the security comes out. And then Eddie starts, they all start shooting at him. And then this is when he pulls out the Nileiter 2000 and shoots. Yeah, he shoots the net first and it does nothing. And then like the security guard is just, looking at. I'm like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:47:07 It looks so stupid. Come on, Eddie, what are you thinking? And why is Eddie hiding behind those little wood benches that those bullets can go right through? He thinks they deflect bullets. Even though you can see the bench is getting
Starting point is 00:47:27 riddled with the bullet holes. I know. I mean, I'm like, okay. With any. He starts fiddling around with it to shoot it to see what else and security is still. Messing around. Okay, the park is closed.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Why are all the rides still going in the background? And he figures out he starts using the machine gun part and he starts shooting. He shoots up one guy. Then he figures out another one and shoots out the missile and blows up something. a little a cart with a bunch of stuffed animals on it and I assume both of those security guard guys are dead and Yeah, pretty much and that's pretty much the end of the The annihilator Yeah, I'm not the Nihilator 2000 because he just sets it down and he goes over and gets one of the
Starting point is 00:48:28 The security guards guns. Yeah, which I thought was weird. He had like a revolver Yeah, I mean Roger Mertal old school revolver. And again, the park is closed. Other than the rides are going in the background, the little popcorn stand. Why is it full of popcorn?
Starting point is 00:48:49 It's usually they empty it out, but we didn't make this well. Because when that one security guard gets blown up, his gun goes and flies in the popcorn and Axel goes and gets it out before he goes back downstairs. I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:06 I would say maybe they just closed, but, you know, there's still be people in a parking lot or employees or something. Yeah, I mean, okay. I mean, they told everybody to leave immediately so they can get to making that money.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Because um, uh, Bill, how did Billy get captured? Would, um, because,
Starting point is 00:49:36 Billy, I think he called Billy before when he was on the way there and Billy knows what Axel's about to do, because he knows Axel, so he's on his way there. Because right before one of the shootouts,
Starting point is 00:49:52 Billy and what's the gal's name? Teresa Randall. Yeah, her. They get kind of stuck in this I'm a control room I guess And then the the security glass comes down
Starting point is 00:50:12 And they're in there freezing Because I guess the Secure or the fire system Or something is letting out cold gas Okay So they're trying to figure out how to How to get out of that And Axel is still running around
Starting point is 00:50:32 And then he ends up going to This is all after the whole shootout outside he goes to the alien attack ride he sees a couple of security guards in there looking around for him the little wannabe silons fake silons that they had in this alien
Starting point is 00:50:53 attack ride that they are not in that part of the ride so this is something clearly that they added and you can clearly see that there's guys in these robot suits so then the ride. Eddie's in the control room. He like turns the ride on because it's
Starting point is 00:51:11 it starts going and everything. And Eddie jumps. I'm watching this. Everyone. So Eddie jumps out. These alien guys are shooting weapons everywhere. The security guards are they got automatic weapons.
Starting point is 00:51:28 So they're just firing in every direction. And Eddie's got a, well, he had he had a revolver. And it was six shooter. and now it's empty. He gets one of the machine guns. Looks like a Uzi from one of the security guards,
Starting point is 00:51:44 and then he starts shooting at him. One another security guard comes, jumped down onto the track, but a part of this attraction, it's supposed to be like an earthquake simulation, and this big fuel rig comes crashing down and smashes one of the security guards. And this part was,
Starting point is 00:52:07 dumb. With the dead security, there's a black security guard that's dead laying on the tracks. Three more show up and Axel kind of jumps behind the security guard, which is
Starting point is 00:52:23 a black guy. And he sits him up. And then he's like, oh, he went that way. And they went that way. And the guy's clearly neither dead or knocked out. No, he's dead.
Starting point is 00:52:37 dead because he's got blood, a bloody chest. Yeah, he's sitting up pointing where they're supposed to be, but his eyes are closed, right? Yeah. So those security guards run up these stairs. And if you guys have been to Universal and you know this ride, this is when the water comes crashing down the stairs and wipes those three out. I mean, I love this part on the tram ride. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:53:06 the whole earthquake scene and everything. It's supposed to be the BART train. The BART train is the Bay Area Rapid Transit System in the Bay Area, because that's what the train looks like. Because even when that train comes in into the scene during the earthquake, it breaks and like splits in half. I mean, if you guys have been to Universal on that tram ride, you know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:53:29 But I've always loved that little part of the ride. So, Axel, He's still trying to find a wall and he ends up in the, I don't know, the Jurassic part of the ride or whatever. Spark has it all. Yeah. I love the animatronic dinosaurs and. Oh, we skipped over Billy's, uh, Billy's moment. He was a Beverly Hills cop to Billy for a second when he killed like two people.
Starting point is 00:54:06 I don't even remember that. What happened? He did the quick draw on one, and then another one. He did the spin, the dive and spin move or roll. Oh, okay. And then he gets shot. And apparently the guy's gun so powerful that knocks Billy up against the wall. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I mean, these guys come with the most powerful hardware ever. So I guess that's why they're the number one security company in the country. But yeah, Eddie and DeWalt end up battling it out in this little dinosaur world. They're dukeing it out. They're fighting on the little train system that's going by. Eddie gets kind of thrown back and DeWalt pulls out a gun, shoots Eddie. Eddie, or Eddie Axel takes a shot.
Starting point is 00:55:08 And then Axel, he gets one of the security guards, little machine guns and just fills up the wall. And he falls into the little train car. And that's the end of him. Didn't Flint, like, show up for no reason and then get shot? Yeah, he, after the whole shootout and fight, he comes walking out from behind the rocks.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Yeah, he's like, what's going on? on and he just gets shot. He like doesn't help out in any way. No, it did. But at this point, we already knew he, he was kind of dirty, but this is when Axel finds out that he's a part of all this because he's, he's, he comes, when he comes walking around,
Starting point is 00:55:54 he's got a gun. Oh, no, I'm talking about the other cop, the good one. Oh, well, he comes out after. Okay. uh the the the secret agent guy he pulls his gun out on axle and they kind of struggle and then uh he uh he gets the gun away from it from the agent guy and axel uh shoots him but yeah that other cop um i don't remember his name he comes yeah he he comes running in and doesn't do anything
Starting point is 00:56:27 he i guess is axle or whatever and then he's just there. He had his gun out. But he got shot earlier because he's got a bullet hole in his arm. So he at least did something. But then
Starting point is 00:56:46 and then while they're sitting there talking, I'll beat up. Here comes Billy. Yeah, like the walking dead. He's like more, well, Eddie's got a big bloody gash on his forehead and Billy's shot up coming and looking like a zombie, then he just
Starting point is 00:57:06 falls to the ground. Yeah, I like how they're just laughing. Telling jokes is Billy's probably dying on the ground. As he's bleeding out. So, yeah, he saves the day. I think he got
Starting point is 00:57:22 he got shot in the first one. I remember that. Did he get shot in the second one? Or just beat up? You got beat up. Yeah, this one, he took a little more damage. You got beat up and shot. Yeah, in this one. And, yeah, Billy, I don't even think he got shot in any of them except for this one.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So, but, yeah, evil is punished. The agent that was in on it. He's dead. The Wald is dead. Did John Saxon die? I don't remember. I think he did. But I think it was a throwaway scene.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Yeah. Um And Dave makes a recovery Uh Axel gets his own mascot Oh Axel Fox
Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah Oh really really Can let me go back When Eddie were Axel was running around In the park When the park was open He dresses up as
Starting point is 00:58:21 Um One of the characters The elephant Yeah Whatever the elephant's name was And uh I liked when he goes up to those two little kids and they're like, do the oaky shuffle or whatever.
Starting point is 00:58:37 And he tries to do it. And he goes, that's not how you do it. It acts like, well, this is how we do it now. The little kid, there was two little kids. It was a kind of older one and a younger one. The younger kid, man, he's, that acting was not. He says, yes, he's a little guy, but I'm sorry, man. There was just, he was not acting very good.
Starting point is 00:58:59 good because he was acting like he was laughing and it was just so I laughed more because it just looked so fake but good for you kid man you're an Eddie Murphy movie and you'm sure you got paid plus he had lines you got a cameo from Helen Martin Wanda from good times oh that's right she was the grandma grandma I think the I think the elephant's name was okay yeah okay dokey push me uh what's his name was John Singleton, he was one of the fire department guys. Yeah. But I don't even remember when that happened.
Starting point is 00:59:38 It says Al Green was in here as the minister. Oh, at the funeral. Okay. Yeah, that was Al Green. Yeah. But yeah, Beverly Hills Cop 3. Him and Teresa Randall get to go on the tunnel of love ride, even though there is no tunnel of love ride.
Starting point is 00:59:58 there's no rides like that at great america she about to give him a ride i guess i guess but Eddie i don't know what you're thinking with this one it was it was not good at all I mean it had funny moments but
Starting point is 01:00:19 I don't know and again the things that I was reading it was just whatever was happening in Eddie's life at the time was kind of interfering with his performance and not really being into it. He just did what he was supposed to do just to get the movie made. I don't know what John Landis was thinking, but yeah, Beverly Hills Cop 3. Says here October 1st, 2019 interview with Collider.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Murphy confirmed a production on Beverly Hills Cop 4 will commence once the film coming to America has wrapped who deadline announced that Paramount Pictures made a one-time license deal with the option for the sequel to Netflix to create the fourth film
Starting point is 01:01:15 well Netflix has got the money because they keep raising the price on us but yeah they do well this the budget for this was 70 million and it only boxed off its 119.2 million
Starting point is 01:01:29 and that that's not much. I mean they made their money back but not much more. 70 million. Yeah. Would Eddie get like 35, 40?
Starting point is 01:01:41 I'm sure they gave George Lucas a few million just to say one line. I don't know. Yeah, if anyone Eddie got paid the most and if you got to pick a second person
Starting point is 01:01:55 maybe Judge Reinholt for coming back John Saxon Yeah He was big And then you know George Lucas Got more than they did
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yeah But Yeah What's the first You guys got HBO Max Watch the first two Those those ones are awesome This one was just
Starting point is 01:02:21 Uh Don't know what they were thinking when they made this one. All right, Brian, what do we got next? Okay, we got, this recently just came out as of today as we're recording this. A new movie on Paramount Plus, Infinite starring Mark Wahlberg, sci-fi action movie. Nez, we might have to put our scientist coats back on because I think this has to do with time travel. It's a video game.
Starting point is 01:02:55 it? Is it? I think so. Did you watch that that documentary series? I think it's on HBO Max. It's with Marky Mark, him just trying to
Starting point is 01:03:14 just do what he does. I mean, help run the restaurants, his whole production company and keep doing movies. And it's, when he was filming this, the pandemic started. Okay. So it was, he had a tough time.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Like, they started it and then the world fell apart. So he had to stop. And then once, I guess it kind of calmed down and, and they were letting Hollywood make their movies. He went back to finish it. So. It's directed by Antoine Fuqua. I believe he did training day.
Starting point is 01:03:57 No, I'm thinking of that. another director. Anton Fuka has directed Training Day, The Equalizer, Magnificent Seven. Okay. He's done some good action movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:11 I mean, I haven't seen anything on this. I haven't even seen any trailers. I mean, kind of staying away from it. I know. The knowledge I know was just from that documentary that he made.
Starting point is 01:04:28 what the hell was it called um uh wall street that's what it was called okay yeah i know what you're talking yeah an intimate day-to-day look at mark walbert well mark walberg manages his growing business ventures against his rigorous film schedule yeah it's on hbio max if you guys uh want to see it's six episodes i want to say the episodes were like a half hour it wasn't very long i i I did it all in one take. And it was cool. I mean, because he,
Starting point is 01:05:03 this guy, he just never was home. And when he was, was home, he was on the phone, constantly doing business. If it wasn't for the restaurant, uh,
Starting point is 01:05:19 helping him, his buddies trying to run some kind of gym. And that's when the pandemic kicked in. Because they had to shut down all these gyms that, that they were, we're going to open up. And he was wondering, like, what the hell are we going to do? I mean, how long is this going to last?
Starting point is 01:05:36 They kind of thought, oh, we'll be all right. It will only last a couple weeks, and then everything will be backed over. And then it just kept on going. It's still not over everyone. I don't know why everyone thinking that it's over with. It's not still going. I think it's going to be with us for the rest of our lives. But it was a cool documentary.
Starting point is 01:05:54 I only watched it because I am a fan of Mark Wahlberg. so it was interesting and that's when I found out about this movie but I know nothing of it but I'm pretty sure it's based on a video game so I don't know yeah it's out now isn't it
Starting point is 01:06:12 yeah it just came out as we're recording this I heard it had it it was action movie sci-fi action has to do with time travel and that takes me back to our time cop episode and
Starting point is 01:06:25 was that just don't know when we did that episode was it just one movie or did we do a movie before it we did a movie before it but i think time cop took up most of most of that time because i think we started getting away from the movie and was trying to figure out time yeah it wasn't working but according to avengers end game everything we know doesn't mean anything so oh man if you guys Evan, if you guys are new to the show, welcome and go back and listen to that episode.
