Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

Matt Roush says...

The “F” is for Foley—Axel Foley, the winningly unconventional detective who makes a return trip from Detroit to Beverly Hills in a reboot of the franchise (after 30 years) that helped make Eddie Murphy a big-screen superstar in the 1980s. The fourth film features plenty of car crashes (and even a helicopter incident) among other mayhem, with Axel tweaking authority alongside a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) while reuniting with familiar faces like Judge Reinhold (as Billy Rosewood) and John Ashton (John Taggart), all in service of uncovering a conspiracy after Axel’s daughter is threatened.
