Show 6B THE GREEN SHEET 28, 1987 Thursday, May AS WE SEE IT Cop Sequel Better Than Original What Axel finds out is that Bogomil was shot because he knew by Mark Cartwright Oreen Sheet Entertainment Critic something about the Alphabet SEEN' ON THE SCREEN DEPT: Beverly Hills Cop 2, currently cleaning up all over town, is one of the rare sequels which is better than the original film. In an age where a sequel usually means knocking out a ripoff in order to capitalize on a hot film, Beverly slick and Hills Cop 2 is totally funny, which is what Eddie Murphy fans have come to expect from Axel Foley and friends. In this edition we start off with Axel back in Detroit working undercover to break up a credit card scam when he learns that his fishing pal, Lt. Bogomil, has been gunned down and in intensive care. Axel immediately cons his chief to sign beries and that Rob- and Rosewood are not assigned to the case, that is until Axel unofficially assigns them to work with him, of course. Eddie Murphy pulls out all the stops, using all the cons, tricks and bluster at his command, sending the audience into gales of laughter every few minutes throughout the picture. In Beverly Hills Cop 2 we learn more about the personal lives of Taggert and Rosewood which gives their characters more depth and dimension and puts them in a closer relationship to Axel Foley and the audience. You really care about them as people. Its evident throughout the film that everyone is comfortable with their characters, especially Murphy, who obviously had some hand fast-pace- some pretty stiff vouchers (saying hes going on deep cover) and hops a plane to California to see what he can do for his friend. Taggert was laughing and saying that it was a great comedy from start to finish. Put it on your gotta see list and dont wait for it to come out on video because this puppy should be in the theaters a long time. in the scripting, thus assuring the audience of a roller coaster ride of comedy and events. Sly Stallones wife, Brigitte Nielsen, appears as the cold hard blonde who is involved with the Alphabet Crimes. Crossing Axels path on the first occasion he looks at the long legged blonde and asks How long does it take to shave those legs? If you are looking for a better comedy or a film with more action, better writing, acting, direction or more fun, you arent gonna find it out there. Ronny Cox, Judge Reinhold and John Ashton as Bogomil, Rosewood and Taggert, respectively, are all back and even Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Bunnies put in cameo appearances, making this the first time that Hef has let a film use his Holmby Hills mansion as a location. Everyone I heard coming out of the screening of Beverly Hills Cop 2 On the flip side of the coin is The Chipmunk Adventure first, and picture. I hope their last, motion Anyone who has ever seen an animated Disney film or Don Bluths An American Tail will realize that the animation in The Chipmunk Adventure isnt just bad but pitiful, while the soundtrack and voices of the chipmunks is reminiscent of fingernails on a blackboard. This one could be a huge disappointment to anyone over the age of 6. BEVERLY HILLS COP II . . .
