Eddie Murphy


Beverly Hills Cop

This comedy starred Eddie Murphy in a blockbuster as a black Detroit detective sent to lily-white Beverly Hills on a reluctant vacation and insists on investigating his friend's death.

There are plenty of slapstick shoot-outs and a British villain (Steven Berkoff) who is responsible for the murder of Axel Foley's friend.

It spawned two sequels and plenty of parodies.
