A Shift in Axel Foley's Characterization
Quotes about Beverly Hills Cop III
But then I discovered on the first day when I started giving Eddie some shtick, he said, “You know, John… Axel Foley is an adult now. He’s not a wiseass anymore.” So, with Beverly Hills Cop 3, I had this strange experience where he was very professional, but he just wasn’t funny. I would try to put him in funny situations, and he would find a way to step around them. It’s an odd movie. There are things in it I like, but it’s an odd movie.

Franchise Fatigue in Hollywood Sequels
Quotes about Beverly Hills Cop III
It's now become Hollywood gospel that if a high concept film is reasonably successful, then make a sequel and if that raises any interest at all, then, hey why not try one more. It's a shame that here the studios just don't know when to stop with this episode ruining the name of what was once an enjoyable franchise.

Importance of Quality in Beverly Hills Cop III
Quotes about Beverly Hills Cop III
I don’t think it’s gonna happen in March, but it is gonna be in Detroit. And before it happens, they’ve got to get that script right. That movie has to be right. The third Beverly Hills Cop was garbage. Those movies, when I travel overseas, people say “Hey, Beverly Hills Cop! Axel Foley!” They call me that shit. All the movies I’ve done, and they call me that. If we do that movie, it has to be right. Not just thrown together to get a big check. I don’t need anymore of those.

Creative Challenges in Beverly Hills Cop III
Quotes about Beverly Hills Cop III
Cop 3 was a very strange experience. The script wasn't any good, but I figured, "So what? I'll make it funny with Eddie." I mean, one of the worst scripts I ever read was the Beverly Hills Cop. It was a piece of shit, that script. But the movie's very funny because Eddie Murphy and Martin Brest made it funny. Everything funny in that movie is not in the screenplay, so I thought, "Well, we'll do that.

Possibility of Reviving the Beverly Hills Cop Franchise
Quotes about Beverly Hills Cop III
The third Beverly Hills Cop was so horrible. I didn't want to leave it like that. The first two were cool and the third one is shitty. It's like, if you guys can come up to do a good one, then we can fix that old mess, and then the franchise is fixed again. So, I'm open to that possibility, cleaning up this old mess and making a good movie.
