That old school one.
Yeah, he was.
He was Philby.
I think that was his name.
I love that movie.
I think we need to do that one at some point.

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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
Because
um,
uh,
Bill,
how did Billy get captured?
Would,
um,
because,
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
Yeah.
Um
And
Dave makes a recovery
Uh
Axel gets his own mascot
Oh
Axel Fox
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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
maybe
Judge Reinholt
for coming back
John Saxon
Yeah
He was big
And then you know George Lucas
Got more than they did
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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.
I don't remember.
It's the early one.
Yeah, one of the ones in the very beginning.
What episode are we on now?
I don't even know.
40?
Let me see.
Our episode number 38.
This is number 39.
Okay.
And we have the last streamings was 19.
you guys haven't heard that go back and listen to it
might as well announce the next action returns after that
because trying to knock out some new ones after we do infinity
I see which McCaud is available
you know where to find it
Wrath of Man
Jason Statham
All right
So those will be our next two
Cool
And if you didn't hear about stream fiends
We're doing house party
and I think I know where the next shows are going to go.
But yeah, everyone, that's going to be it, this episode.
E-society, just go over to where we have it.
And we still need to record a new episode.
We're still working on it.
But there's a ton of stuff on there.
I kind of did inventory on actual just the E-society show,
not the spinoff ones.
We're over 500 episodes.
with the East Society.
And I didn't realize...
Nice.
With the combo of the anchor
and the regular network,
Skater Nets podcast network,
we're in the 500s now
dealing with the East Society.
And I'm like, damn.
I didn't realize we had that many episodes.
It's a lot.
Yeah, it is.
And that's not counting McNaz
and the spin-off shows
from East Society.
Yeah, we're way over 500.
at this point, but I mean, it's crazy.
I'm surprised that we did it.
And dude, a lot of it is you and I on there, too.
More, more spin-off shows coming.
Yeah, but if you guys want to listen to a good one with the E Society,
go back to last year's 31 Days of Horror and listen to the Frankenstein episode.
Ah.
I just listen to it again.
Oh, my God.
Made me want to watch that movie.
What was the guy's name?
Otto or
I think it was Otto.
I think it was Otto.
That guy.
Oh, man.
He got a little weird at the end.
He was a little too rapy for my taste.
The movie,
it is what it is.
Flesh for Frankenstein.
It's on YouTube if you guys,
I want to check it out.
But listen to that episode after you watch the movie because that was one of the good ones.
All right, everyone.
Yeah, just be safe out there and come back next week for
what's that movie called?
Infinity.
It was one of them.
Mark Wahlberg's new movie.
Yeah, Paramount Plus.
It's on Paramount Plus.
Is it in the theater, too, or no?
I want to say no.
I thought that we're going to do the drop it in the theater and then 45 days later.
Yeah, I think that's the ones that are debuting in the theater.
45 days later, they'll be on Paramount Plus.
I don't know if the straight two Paramount Plus goes to the theater.
I don't know.
It's a whole new world when it comes to streaming movies and theater.
Yeah.
So, yeah, come back for more.
So until next time, just be safe and party on.
Yeah, everybody definitely be safe and make sure you are good to one another.
