Beverly Hills Cop: Why Would There be a Banana in a Tailpipe?
from Totally 80s and 90s Recall · host Totally 80s and 90s Recall
One of the most popular comedies of the 1980s turns 40 years old as we head to California with Axel Foley to talk about Beverly Hills Cop. This movie achieved a balance of action, comedy, and memorable characters, with Eddie Murphy’s performance at the forefront, making it a cool and enduring classic in the action-comedy genre. This week, Rob, Kurt and Dave will examine why a cop would want to leave the beautiful streets of Detroit to have to slum it in the palm trees and sunshine of Beverly Hills. We’ll examine the mix of action and comedy, Eddie Murphy’s charisma and a kick ass soundtrack that made this movie one of the best of the 80s. So check your tailpipes for bananas and let’s strap in with Foley, Taggart and Rosewood at the strip club as we laugh out loud and have a great time with Beverly Hills Cop.
