The 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' films franchise features Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a street-smart Detroit cop who travels to Beverly Hills, California to investigate a crime - even though it is out of his jurisdiction - and what follows next are the following movies in the series.

1 : 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' (1984) - Directed by Martin Brest.

This is the first instalment in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise series -

The plot in question revolves around Axel Foley (Murphy), a plainclothes freewheeling detective from Detroit.

His latest unauthorised 'sting' operation goes sour when two uniformed officers intervene, resulting in a high-speed chase through the city of Detroit that causes widespread damage.

Axel arrives at his apartment to find that it has been broken into by Michael 'Mikey' Tandino (James Russo), his childhood friend.

Mikey had done prison time for a car theft that the pair had committed when they were younger, but has since landed a role as a security guard in Beverly Hills thanks to Jenny Summers (Lisa Eilbacher), a mutual childhood friend, who works for Victor Maitland,(Steven Berkoff),a corrupt art gallery dealer, and also the owner of the art gallery in question, and where Summers, in question, is soon kidnapped by Maitland after Axel in question discovers Maitland's illegal activities.

So then Mikey shows Axel some German bearer bonds and Axel wonders how he got them, but chooses not to question him about it.

Then after going out at a bar, they return to Axel's apartment where two men Zack and also Casey (Jonathan Banks and Michael Champion) knock Axel unconscious, confront Mikey about the stolen bearer bonds and then murder him.

Axel then asks to be assigned to investigate Mikey's murder but Inspector Douglas Todd (Gilbert Roland Hill) won't allow it due to his close ties to Mikey.

And so under the guise of taking vacation time, Axel then travels to Beverly Hills to solve the crime for himself.

2: 'BEVERLY HILLS COP II' : (1987) - Directed by Tony Scott ( brother of Sir Ridley Scott), written by Larry Ferguson and Warren Skaaren.

This is the second instalment in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise series

The plot in question is set approximately three years after the original film, where Andrew Bogomil, (Ronny Cox), a Beverly Hills Captain, Detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), and also Sergeant John Taggert (John Ashton), are investigating a series of high-value robberies known as 'THE ALPHABET CRIMES'.

At each crime scene, an encrypted letter that's marked with an alphabetic character that's distinctive to each heist is left behind.

Meanwhile, the new political state of the Beverly Hills police, headed by the incompetent and also is a verbally new police chief Harold Lutz, (Allen Garfield - aka Allen Goorwitz - his real name) complicates matters.

But also on the way home because of suspension, Bogomil is shot by Karla Fry, (Brigette Nielsen), who happens to be the chief henchwoman of Maxwell Dent (Jurgen Prochnow), and also left with near-fatal gunshot wounds - and also a letter marked 'B' that's left on the crime scene.

3: 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III' : (1994) - Directed by John Landis, written by Steven E de Souza.

This is the third instalment in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise film series

The plot in question sees Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), a Detroit Police Department detective plans to arrest a car theft ring situated in a chop shop.

However, Foley, in question, stumbles upon something much bigger: that the same men who killed Inspector Douglas Todd (Gilbert Roland Hill) are in fact running a counterfeit money ring out of a theme park situated in Los Angeles.

Anyway after Axel's boss is killed, Foley, in question, finds evidence that the. murderer in question had ties to a California amusement park called Wonder World.

Returning to Beverly Hills, Foley reunites with Detective William 'Billy' Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) to solve the case.

But also that the criminals' hideout is nestled under everyone's face: right of the heart in Southern California's bustling theme park of Wonder World.

But now all that's left to do is convince not only the people and also the police that the park's impeccable chief of security Ellis DeWald, (Timothy Carhart), is in fact a ruthless villain, and that also the immaculate amusement park is, in reality, a graceful and also an impenetrable facade for a sinister operation, but interestingly that the character of DeWald in question -also secretly uses the premises in Wonder World to produce the counterfeit dollar bills in question - and therefore - he is 'the key antagonist' - or the villain to you - in the film.

Just for the record, when all three movies came out in movie theatres the box office takings for each movie were as follows:

'BEVERLY HILLS COP' (1984) - $234,760,478.00 - (￡183, 736, 800.00 - UK),

Back in 1977, Don Simpson, a Paramount Pictures executive came up with a movie idea about a cop from East L.A. - 'LOS ANGELES' - who transferred to Beverly Hills.

Danilo Bach, a screenwriter, was called in to write the screenplay.

Bach then pitched his idea to Simpson and also Paramount in 1981, 'four years later' under the name 'BEVERLY DRIVE', about a cop from Pittsburgh named Elly Axel.

However his script was a straight action film and Bach was forced to make changes to the script, but that after a few attempts the project went stale.

However, with the success of 'FLASHDANCE' (1983) - 'two years later'.

Simpson then saw the opportunity of the 'BEVERLY HILLS' film as his next big project.

Then Daniel Mannix Petrie Jr, was brought in to 'rewrite the script' and that Paramount had loved Petrie's humorous approach to the project now called Axel Elly from Detroit.

Jerry Bruckheimer, a film producer, claimed that the role of Axel Foley was first offered to Mickey Rourke, who signed a $400,000.00 (￡313,280.00 -UK) holing contract to do the film.

But also that when revisions and also other preparations had took longer than expected, Rourke had left the project to do another film and then Martin Scorsese was offered to direct the film - but turned it down - as he felt that the the film's concept was too similar to 'COOGAN'S BLUFF' (1968), but also that David Cronenberg was also offered to direct the film - but like Scorsese, - had also 'turned it down'.

But then Sylvester Stallone, was originally considered for the part of Foley, and that Stallone gave the script as 'a dramatic rewrite' by simply removing all of the the story's humour - and also turning 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' back into 'A STANDARD ACTION MOVIE'.

However, in one of the previous drafts that was written for Stallone - the character of Billy Rosewood was originally called as ''SIDDONS'' and was also 'KILLED OFF HALFWAY THROUGH THE SCRIPTS' during one of the 'ACTION SCENES'.

Stallone had in fact 'RENAMED THE LEAD CHARACTER' to Axel Cobretti, with the character of Michael Tandino being his brother and also Jenny Summers playing his love interest.

Stallone had said that his script for 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' would have looked like 'THE OPENING SCENES FROM SAVING PRIVATE RYAN - ON THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY'.

And believe it or not, that the 'FINALE - WAS OF ME - IN A STOLEN LAMBORGHINI' playing 'CHICKEN WITH AN ON-COMING FREIGHT TRAIN' that's being driven by the ultra-slimy bad guy.

But Simpson, a producer, let it be known that they didn't want to move forward with Stallone's revisions; since Stallone wasn't willing to negotiate with the 'rewrite', and so Simpson then asked Charles 'Chip' Proser, a writer, if he could return the script to previous iteration, while also leaving most of Stallone's character revisions intact.

However, Proser found the task (and also a turnaround time) preposterous.

'' They offered me the rewrite when it was nothing more than Sylvester Stallone - and also an exotic gun - which was classed as pretty ridiculous '' remembered Chip Prosser, a screenwriter, - and who would later write [an uncredited rewrite of ] Simpson's and also Bruckenheimer's ''TOP GUN''.

But also according to Don Simpson, a co-producer, that Stallone's new script had in fact spent too much time on the star ''SOAPING DOWN HIS MUSCLES''.

And it was then that Stallone had ultimately ''DROPPED OUT'' at least ''TWO WEEKS'' before filming was to start, ostensibly to concentrate on his next picture ''RHINESTONE'' (1984), directed by Bob Clark, and also where Stallone in question, also co-wrote the screenplay with Phil Alden Robinson and also featuring Stallone, along with Dolly Parton, Richard Farnsworth and also Ron Liebman.

The song 'RHINESTONE COWBOY' was originally written and recorded back in 1974, by Laurence D. ''Larry'' Weiss, an American songwriter and also a musician, and was then popularised in 1975, the following year by Glen Campbell, an American country music artist.

Then on May 26, 1975, Campbell, in question, had released 'RHINESTONE COWBOY'. the album - and also that the lead single in question was on the album, which had enjoyed critical success, and that Weiss, in question, had also co-written hits for other artists including 'BEND ME SHAPE ME', 'HI-HO SILVER LINING', and also other international hits.

As for the film 'RHINESTONE' - well, it was a critical and also a financial failure at the box-office - but that the film in question, had 'SPAWNED AT LEAST TWO TOP TEN COUNTRY HITS' for Dolly Parton herself.

Stallone later used the bulk of these ideas as the basis for 'COBRA' (1986), which he wrote,as Lt Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti, and was directed by George Pan Cosmatos, the film in question, also featured Reni Santoni, and also Andrew Robinson, along with Harry Guardino, John Larch, John Mitchum, and also John Vernon as the Mayor of San Francisco.

However,in question, both Santoni and Robinson had appeared in 'DIRTY HARRY' (1971), directed by Donald (Don) Siegel and featured Clint Eastwood as Inspector Harry Callahan, a San Francisco police detective - in his first appearance - also Santoni portrayed Chico Gonzalez, a young rookie, who becomes Callahan's partner and Robinson portrayed 'Scorpio'.

Also, just for the record, the story draws inspiration from the 'REAL-LIFE case of the 'ZODIAC' killer, and also that 'DIRTY HARRY' in question would not only become a franchise by forming 'FOUR SEQUELS' -notably 'MAGNUM FORCE' (1973), 'THE ENFORCER' (1976), 'SUDDEN IMPACT' (1983) and also 'THE DEAD POOL' (1988) - in its own right - it was also classed as commercial and critical success at box-offices worldwide.

As for 'ZODIAC' - the film in question directed by David Fincher was released in theaters in 2007, the film stars Jake Gyllenhaal, as Robert Graysmith, Mark Ruffalo, as Inspector David Ramon Toschi - an American law enforcement widely known for his efforts in the San Francisco Police Department who was originally involved as an 'INSPECTOR' involved in the ZODIAC KILLER CASE -but also that 'HIS PERSONAL STYLE' in question was in fact - 'THE ORIGINAL ROLE MODEL' for both 'BULLITT (1968), featuring Steve McQueen as Frank Bullitt, and directed by Peter Yates, and Robert Downey Jr, as Paul Avery, an American journalist, and also a crime reporter working for 'THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE' in question - and also features Anthony Edwards, Brian Cox (the original Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecktor), Elias Koteas, Donal Logue, John Carroll Lynch, Chloe Sevigny, Philip Baker Hall and also Dermot Mulroney, in supporting roles - the film was based on the two 'non-fiction' books by Robert Graysmith, an American 'TRUE CRIME' author, and also a former political cartoonist working for 'THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE' - notably 'ZODIAC' (1986), and also 'ZODIAC UNMASKED' (2002).

In 1969, when the 'ZODIAC KILLER CASE' came to prominence, Graysmith, in question, had in fact attempted to 'DECODE THE LETTERS' - written by 'THE KILLER' - and had also became 'OBSESSED WITH THE CASE' in question - over the next 'THIRTEEN YEARS' - this is between 1969 to 1982.

Eventually, Graysmith in question, gave up his career as a 'political cartoonist' to write at least 'FIVE MORE BOOKS' - on - 'HIGH PROFILE CRIMES' -one of which became the basis for the film 'AUTO FOCUS' (2002), - this in question - is classed as -'A BIOGRAPHICAL DRAMA' which became a movie directed by Paul Schrader and featuring Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe, and also Michael Gerbosi's screenplay is in fact 'BASED ON THE ORIGINAL NOVEL' by Graysmith - and also entitled as 'THE MURDER OF BOB CRANE' -originally published back in 1993.

Then Simpson would later tell his friends a story - impossible to corroborate - about how he finally got Stallone off the project - and also got the project - back on track: both Simpson and Stallone had a 'MUTUAL INTEREST IN YOUTH TREATMENTS' and that Simpson knew of a 'SWISS DOCTOR' who was 'EXPERIMENTING WITH INJECTIONS OF A SHEEP HORMONE THAT INCREASED TUMESCENCE'.

Simpson had managed to get Stallone's name 'PUT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST,' - Simpson had then boasted to a friend, 'FOR AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE VERY EXCLUSIVE DOCTOR', and by then Stallone had flown to Switzerland, and also Simpson had promptly continued on 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' without him.

Then two days later, Simpson and also Bruckheimer, the film's producers, convinced Eddie Murphy (he was twenty-three years old) to replace Stallone in the film, prompting more rewrites.

And beside Rourke and also Stallone - there were also other actors who were considered for the role of Axel Foley, which included Richard Pryor, Al Pacino, and also James Caan, but also Harrison Ford was also offered for the role of Axel Foley - but also turned it down, and that 'THE FINAL SHOOTING DRAFT OF THE SCRIPT' - which was 'EXTENSIVELY REVISED WITH MURPHY'S INPUT', was not completed until the day that the production began.

'BEVERLY HILLS COP II' (1987) - $153,665,036.00 - (￡120,120,300.00 - UK),

'PARAMOUNT PICTURES' - the film studio - had in fact -planned a 'TELEVISION SERIES - BASED ON THE FIRST FILM.

But that Murphy had in fact 'TURNED DOWN THE SERIES - BUT WAS WILLING TO DO A SEQUEL.

So Simpson and Bruckheimer, the film producers, hired Tony Scott (brother of Sir Ridley Scott) to direct due to his success with 'THE BLOCKBUSTER - 'TOP GUN' (1986).

The film was orIginally set and also filmed in London and also Paris; however the script was 'rewritten' after Murphy had expressed a reluctance to film outside the US.

Eddie Murphy's salary to star in the movie was $8m (￡6,232,800.00 -UK),but that the budget of the movie was $27m (￡21,035,700.00 -UK).

Ronny Cox was going to have more screen time in the film, but couldn't due to his role as Dick Jones, the Senior President of 'OCP' - 'OMNI CONSUMER PRODUCTS' - this is classed as 'A MEGA CORPORATION CONTROL' that's originally situated in the Detroit Police Department in 'ROBOCOP' (1987).

Filming began on November 10, 1986, and had concluded on March 25, 1987, after 'ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE DAYS' of filming.

Billy Weber, film editor, said the following statement:

''Martin (Marty) Brest, had passed on the sequel, and Tony was available.

But, he wasn't a comedy guy, so after we ran 'THE FIRST CUT', Don and also Jerry just looked around, and also shrugged, and then said, ''Huh.'' It wasn't a comedy - it played like a straight action movie, which also made sense, because Tony was 'an action guy' and that's what he knew how to do best, so it was really action heavy.

We just never had a great script, and also that it never had a chance of being as good as the first original movie just because that the script had never got there.

And so they rewrote the script - after the 'FIRST SCREENING' - and more jokes were shot - and also added in, and that it brought it up a little bit.

But Eddie, had also started to act up on the set, the primadonna behaviour was also beginning and starting to show, and that he was always late for filming, but also that Eddie had got on well with Tony.

'BEVERLY HILLS COP III' (1994) - $42,614,912.00 - (￡33,370,00.00 -UK),

Back in 1989, five years after the release of the 'FIRST MOVIE' (1984), two years after the release of the 'SECOND MOVIE' (1987), and also 'five years' before the release of the 'THIRD MOVIE' (1994), - known as 'THE THIRD INSTALMENT OF THE FRANCHISE SERIES' - Murphy in question - said the following statement:

'There's no reason to do it. I don't need the money and that it's not going to break any new ground.

How often can you have 'AXEL FOLEY' talk fast and also get into a place he doesn't belong? But that these mother******* are developing scripts for this.

They're in pre-production.

The only reason to do a 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III', is to beat the bank, and Paramount ain't gonna write me no cheque as big as I want to do something like that.

In fact, if I do a 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III', you can simply say this, 'He must have a lot of money!'

During the script's early drafts, the plot concerned Foley, Rosewood, and also Taggart, going to rescue Captain Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox), who was being held hostage by terrorists during an International Police Convention.

However, many problems such as scripting issues and also the budgeting had caused the pre-production to slow to the point where both John Ashton and also Ronny Cox had to drop out due to obligations to other film projects.

Ashton's part was 'RE-WRITTEN AS JOHN FLINT' (Hector Elizondo), and also that 'the dialogue' - was in fact 'inserted' to explain that the character of John Taggart had in fact 'RETIRED' and also had moved to Phoenix, Arizona.

But Cox's character absence as Bogomil, is 'NEVER ADDRESSED IN THIS FILM - NOR IS HE MENTIONED.

However, Ashton and also Cox make 'SUBTLE CAMEOS' in the form of a picture that's situated on Rosewood's desk of Foley, Taggart, Rosewood and also Bogomil who are on a fishing trip.

This is also 'THE SAME PICTURE' that appeared in 'BEVERLY HILLS COP II' on both Bogomil's and also Foley's desk.

And in an interview in 2012, Ronny Cox, said the following : ''They wanted me to be in 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III', but... I read the script.

Rejected ideas for 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III' had included a screenplay by Robert Towne (this is in which Foley has to deal with his celebrity status), a scenario teaming Murphy with Sean Connery as a Scotland Yard detective, and also that there was another ''AXEL-IN-LONDON'' idea where his Scotland Yard counterpart would have been played by John Cleese.

The last would have involved with British gangsters, loosely-based on the real-life Kray Twins Ronald 'Ronnie' and also Reginald 'Reggie', who were captured in Detroit, Michigan, and also transported back to London by Jeffrey Friedman (Paul Reiser - also Axel Foley's friend featured in both 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' and also 'BEVERLY HILLS COP II', and that Axel, in question would have gone overseas after the gangster's henchman broke them out of custody and also murdered Jeffrey.

Now this was 'SCRAPPED' because Simpson and also Bruckheimer, both film producers, decided that it was too close to the story of 'BLACK RAIN' (1989), an action film directed by Sir Ridley Scott (brother of Tony) and featuring Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Ken Takakura, Kate Capshaw, Yusaku Matsuda and also Tomisaburo Wakayama.

Now when Steven E. De Souza, a screenwriter, was originally brought in, he had originally wrote the story as more as 'DIE HARD IN A THEME PARK'.

He was originally told that each of the rides that he had originally designed would cost around $10m (￡7,797,880.00 -UK) to build and that the whole film would cost around $70m (￡54,467, 000.00 - UK).

But also when the 'BOX OFFICE RESULTS' for 'THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN' (1992), featuring Murphy in a comedy, Paramount had in fact ordered the budget to be 'CUT' by $55m (￡42,795,500.00).

But also that Paramount had earlier told both Simpson and also Bruckheimer that they would only outlay $25m( ￡19,452,500.00) for a proposed version to be set in New York City, this is one of the main reasons that the producing team had in fact parted ways with the film studio.

Joel Silver, a film producer, was originally set to take over producing duties from both Simpson and also Bruckheimer; however the negotiations on a large budget had resulted in production delays leading to Silver quitting the production.

And it was that at that time that both Mace Neufeld and Robert Rehme, film producers, took on the project.

But consequently, the film became more about the investigation and also less about the action.

Eventually, the production was temporarily shut down to allow the 'PARAMOUNT TOP BRASS' to get to grips with the film's 'SPIRALING BUDGET' .

It was originally estimated at $55m (￡42,795,500.00), and that it was also soon in excess of $70m (￡54,467,000.00).

And also of that budget, $15m (￡11,671,500.00), was in fact Murphy's pay cheque.

Interestingly, John Landis, the renowned film director of movies such as 'NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE' (1978) featuring stars such as John Belushi, Tim Matheson, John Vernon, Karen Allen, Verna Bloom, Peter Reigert, Donald Sutherland and also Kevin Bacon who stars in 'BEVERLY HILLS COP 4' as Captain Cade Grant, a police captain situated in the Beverly Hills Police Department, 'THE BLUES BROTHERS' (1980) featuring John Belushi - again - as Jake Blues, and also Dan Aykroyd as Elwood Blues, the film also features an amazing all-star cast including James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Carrie Fisher, Cab Calloway, and also John Candy, and also 'AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON' (1981), featuring David Naughton, Griffin Dunne and also Jenny Agutter, had become involved in directing 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III' because Landis has previously collaborated on other movies such as 'TRADING PLACES' (1983), featuring Murphy, Aykroyd, Don Ameche, Ralph Bellamy and also Academy Award Winner Jamie Lee Curtis.

And that also when you have a trilogy such as this - the first two movies in the trilogy were great - while the third film in the trilogy - turns out to be 'the weakest film' in the trilogy.

Interestingly 'ALL THREE FILMS IN THE BEVERLY HILLS COP TRILOGY' - are available to watch/stream on 'NETFLIX' and also 'PARAMOUNT PLUS' - these are just 'TWO STREAMING SERVICES' - to choose from - and what's more is that these films shown on these streaming services - are in fact 'UNCUT', 'UNCENSORED', and also 'UNINTERRUPTED' - that is without commercial breaks in their original formats, plus if you add all 'THREE MOVIES TOGETHER' IN THE TRILOGY' - 'BACK TO BACK'- and also without - ' A COMFORT BREAK' - which to me is 'ABSOLUTE MADNESS' -and also especially that if you 'pull your pud' in the process - do a Usain Bolt, a Jamaican sprinter - and sprint along to the 'rest-room/bathroom and just relieve yourselves - to avoid emergencies - you'll be glad you did - after all.

Also just for the record 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' (1984), is 105 MINUTES - 1 HOUR 45 MINUTES, 'BEVERLY HILLS COP II' (1987), is 103 MINUTES - 1 HOUR 43 MINUTES, and 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III' (1994), is 104 MINUTES - 1 HOUR 44 MINUTES) - the total of these would come to an amazing running time consisting of 312 MINUTES or even just over 4 HOURS & 32 MINUTES - to you.

But wait - and also just hang on - because 'THE FOURTH INSTALMENT' (the longest like a 'tailpipe' in the franchise film series) lasts 1 HOUR 57 MINUTES'- or even '117 MINUTES' - to you - so if you add 117 minutes with 312 minutes - the result of these shown 'BACK TO BACK' would come to an amazing total of 'FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE MINUTES'- or even 'FIVE HOURS AND TWENTY NINE MINUTES - to be precise.

But then in the mid-1990's came a major big announcement regarding a sequel to the 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' trilogy - and it began like this - when the title of this became known as 'BEVERLY HILLS COP : AXEL F' or 'BEVERLY HILLS COP 4' as it came to be known entered a development under Eddie Murphy's film production company - known as 'EDDIE MURPHY PRODUCTIONS' - which was originally established in 1987 - and also known for producing the following movies such as - 'BEVERLY HILLS COP', 'BEVERLY HILLS COP II', 'VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN', 'BEVERLY HILLS COP III', 'ANOTHER 48 HOURS', 'COMING 2 AMERICA' and also featuring many more starring the great man., also many various directors and also screenwriters including Brett Ratner, and also Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were also attached to this new up and coming project before it fizzled out.

However in April 2022, Mark Malloy, was hired to direct, and also that the production began in California, in August 2022 - 'FOUR MONTHS LATER'.

As for 'NETFLIX'S INVOLVEMENT', after years of delays, rewrites, and also moving to a different studio in 2019, -'FIVE YEARS EARLIER' - It was 'CONFIRMED' that 'THE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO THE FRANCHISE MOVIE SERIES' - would be 'DISTRIBUTED EXCLUSIVELY TO NETFLIX'.

Now 'NETFLIX' in question first announced to receive the movie in question back in November 2019, and that 'PARAMOUNT PICTURES' - 'THE FILM DISTRIBUTOR'- had in fact 'LICENSED THE RIGHTS TO THE STREAMER' - and also that 'NETFLIX' - 'HAD ACQUIRED THE RIGHTS FROM PARAMOUNT PICTURES TO GIVE 'THE GREEN LIGHT' AND ALSO TO MAKE 'BEVERLY HILLS COP -AXEL F' - 'AKA' 'BEVERLY HILLS COP 4'.

As ever the new film features Eddie Murphy, reprising his role as Axel Foley - and who also produces the new movie as well, and also the other cast members appearing in this include Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige and also Kevin Bacon in new roles - alongside Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser and also Bronson Pinchot reprising their roles as Detective William 'Billy' Rosewood, Sergeant John Taggart, Jeffrey Friedman and also Serge.

Here what follows in this 'FOURTH INSTALMENT' is the synopsis plot-line :

Well for a start 'BEVERLY HILLS COP - AXEL F' features Murphy returning as Detective Axel Foley, a police detective originally from Detroit, Michigan, back to Beverly Hills, California, after Jane Saunders nee Foley - her maiden surname - (Taylour Paige), who happens to be the estranged daughter of Axel - is threatened when she's in danger by taking on a case against a corrupt cop who's wealthy and also working for the Beverly Hills Police Department, as well as in leagues involving 'DRUG CARTELS' and which also turns to be none other than Captain Cade Grant, (Bacon),(a character in a unique role - or should that be a 'BACON ROLL' complete with brown sauce/tomato ketchup/or if you're very lucky some fruity sauce (''MATRON ''!) to add that special touch to your weekend - that should - 'FILL THE GAP' ) - well at least until 'LUNCHTIME'.

This also turns out that the relationship between them also becomes very emotional -and that the connection also adds a depth to the original story -by not only making it as a more engaging for the viewer watching this in their establishments (its coming straight to a platform such as 'NETFLIX' - and also 'BYPASSING MOVIE THEATERS' - ie: not showing - but also for Murphy, in particular, also drew on his own experiences - just to bring back (or maybe resurrect) the original character -in question- 'BACK TO LIFE ,BACK TO REALITY', and also that although the relationship between father and also daughter is in fact central to the plotline of the story in question - that as the film carries on - by evolving the dangers that they both encounter throughout.

Anyway to protect Axel's daughter, Axel then teams up with Detective Bobby Abbott (Gordon-Levitt), who becomes Axel's new partner, after he arrests Axel for simply disturbing the peace and who also happens to be Jane's ex-boyfriend.

Jane, in question, happens to be an attorney (lawyer) who defending a man called Copeland - an undercover cop who murdered a police officer - and who's also involved in connections with some dangerous people.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant William 'Billy' Rosewood (Reinhold), goes missing, - and also finds himself in a perilous situation - and subsequently disappears.

It soon turns out that Rosewood had in fact been working on the same case in question as Jane - Axel's estranged daughter.

Then Enriquez,(Damien Diaz), claim that he's being framed, - and that both Jane and also Rosewood, in question simply believe him - and also that an SD card from Copeland's car corroborates Enriquez's story - and that the card in question - simply goes missing.

But when Rosewood vanishes, it is then known that the true stakes in question are soon revealed, and that the key to solving this lies in an SD card that reveals and also corroborates a suspect's story, but also Rosewood, who knows where the 'TRUE LOCATION OF THE CARD' in question - is in fact - 'KEPT ALIVE' - by the villains - and that they also torture him - desperate to extract the exact information.

However, Axel, with the help of Abbott and also Sgt John Taggart (Ashton), does indeed solve the case to rescue Rosewood - and also ensure his safety - however the remains about the SD card - in question - 'WHERE IS THE CARD THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ? - Well the answer's quite simple - and that you'll have to watch this and also find out for yourself.

As for the characters of both Jeffrey Friedman (Reiser) and also Serge (Pinchot) who both return for the 'FOURTH INSTALMENT' of the film series franchise - this is what happens :

Serge (Pinchot), is in fact a former art gallery salesman who turned weapons dealer - when he appeared in 'THE FIRST INSTALMENT' (1984), his flamboyance and also memorable encounters with Foley, made him a favourite with the fans, - by 'THE THIRD INSTALMENT' -(1994), Serge had left his art sales job and opened up his own business - by specialising in boutique weaponry and also personal protective devices, he also returned to help Axel 'ARM HIMSELF' -against enemies - by providing 'THE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL -ANNIHILATOR 2000' - THIS IS A WEAPON - CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING: - 'A MACHINE GUN', 'MICROWAVE OVEN', 'CELL PHONE' and also a 'CD PLAYER' (where's Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter - the character portrayed by the legendary Sir David Jason in the classic comedy series 'ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES' - when you really need him), but that in this latest instalment of the film franchise series - he reappears - by adding - plenty of humour - as well as the intrigue - to the story in question - as he once again - 'INTERACTS WITH AXEL', and as for Jeffrey Friedman (Reiser), Foley's former partner in crime - well he has been 'PROMOTED' to Axel's boss situated in the Detroit Police Department - and also as the boss - he also yells at Axel - just like Inspector Todd did in the 'FIRST THREE INSTALMENTS' of the movie series franchise.

And so the many reviews of 'BEVERLY HILLS COP - AXEL F' - 'AKA BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 - featuring Murphy reprising his role as Axel Foley, a police detective working in the Detroit Police Department 'FOR THE FOURTH TIME'(Murphy's now aged 'SIXTY THREE' YEARS) have finally arrived - because many have called this 'long-awaited fourth instalment' to the franchise series as 'ONE OF THE BEST THAT'S EVER HAPPENED IN THE LAST FORTY YEARS' since we were first introduced to the adventures of Foley, Rosewood, Taggart, Serge and also Jeffrey back in 1984 - and also that back in 1984 - before the birth of the internet - and also social media sites such as 'FACEBOOK' 'X' - FORMERLY 'TWITTER' - and even 'LINKEDIN' - which also predates the widespread use - that back then in those days - many of us relied on the following :

A : MOVIE THEATERS - Going to the movies - at a movie theater, was the most common way to watch a movie, - One example is 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' (The 1984 original), would have been screened in movie theaters worldwide - many of us would buy tickets, grab some provisions and then take our seats located in the auditorium - then as the lights went down and the film began, we would sit in a darkened theater -and also enjoy the film on 'THE BIG SCREEN'.

B : TELEVISION - After their 'THEATRICAL RUN' in movie theaters, worldwide, movies would make their way to 'TELEVISION' as many 'BROADCAST NETWORKS' as well as 'CABLE CHANNELS' throughout would in fact 'AIR' these 'FILMS' during specific 'TIME SLOTS' - plus many 'FAMILIES' would 'GATHER AROUND THEIR TV SETS' and also 'WATCH MOVIES' together.

C : VHS VIDEO TAPES - 'VHS' (VIDEO HOME SYSTEM) TAPES -became 'POPULAR' in the 1980's - as many of us would could either 'RENT' or even 'PURCHASE' MOVIES available on 'VIDEOCASSETTE' - also that 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' is just one example would have been 'AVAILABLE TO WATCH AT YOUR ESTEEMED ESTABLISHMENTS' for either 'RENTAL' or even 'PURCHASE' on 'VIDEOCASSETTE' - allowing 'MANY VIEWERS TO WATCH THIS EXCLUSIVELY IN THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS'.

D : PAY-PER-VIEW - Some 'CABLE PROVIDERS' offered 'PAY-PER-VIEW' SERVICES. Viewers could 'ORDER' - 'SPECIFIC MOVIES - and would then 'WATCH THEM AT THE HOME ESTABLISHMENTS' - FOR A FEE.

However, this was 'LESS COMMON' - THAN OTHER METHODS.

E : MOVIE RENTALS - In addition to 'VHS VIDEOTAPES' -there was also 'BETAMAX VIDEOTAPES' (this is classed as a consumer-level - 'ANALOG' RECORDING and also a 'CASSETTE FORMAT OF MAGNETIC TAPE -EXCLUSIVELY FOR VIDEO - AND ALSO COMMONLY KNOWN AS - 'A VIDEO CASSETTE RECORDER'.

Then on May 10, 1975, - it was developed by 'SONY' - and was originally released in Japan, closely followed by the U.S. in November, that same year.'BETAMAX' - in question - is widely 'TO BE CONSIDERED AS OBSOLETE', having 'LOST - 'THE VIDEOTAPE FORMAT WAR' - and which also saw - 'VHS' - VIDEO HOME SYSTEM - as its closest 'RIVAL' - by DOMINATING MOST MARKETS - but though, 'BETAMAX VIDEOTAPES' in question - had - 'HIGHER QUALITY IMAGE' - then the longer - 'VHS VIDEOTAPE' - had ultimately became - 'THE STANDARD'.

Despite this, 'BETAMAX VIDEO RECORDERS' - had in fact continued to be 'MANUFACTURED' and also 'SOLD' until August 2002, and when Sony in question - had 'ANNOUNCED' that 'THEY WERE DISCONTINUING PRODUCTION OF ALL BETAMAX MODELS' -Sony - in question - had in fact 'CONTINUED TO SELL BLANK BETAMAX CASSETTES' until March 2016), and also 'LASERDISCS'.

F: NETWORK TELEVISION PREMIERES - Very occasionally, - 'MAJOR FILMS' - would have their - 'NETWORK TELEVISION PREMIERES'.

These 'EVENTS' - in question, were in fact - 'HIGHLY ANTICIPATED', and also that many families would gather around their rooms that were located in their unique establishments and to simply watch them together.

G : REPEATS AND ALSO SYNDICATION - Once a movie had been released - and also 'AIRED ON TV', - it might be 'REPEATED' or even 'SYNDICATED'. The 'SYNDICATION' in question - had allowed 'LOCAL TV STATIONS' -to BROADCAST 'POPULAR MOVIES' - outside of - 'PRIME TIME'.

H : CINEMAS AND ALSO REVIVAL (MOVIE) THEATERS - Some cities throughout the world had in fact some 'REVIVAL (MOVIE) THEATERS' - that screened some older films known to many as 'CLASSICS' - like - 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' - 'as an example' - and also that these 'THEATERS' would in fact -be catered - to cinephiles - and also to the many fans of specific genres - in film .

I : VIDEO CLUBS - Just before 'STREAMING' came along - there were in fact -'VIDEO CLUBS' - where 'MEMBERS BELONGING TO THE CLUB' - could in fact -'BORROW MOVIES' - and also that these 'CLUBS' -in question - had in fact - 'OPERATED SIMILARLY' to the many 'LIBRARIES' throughout -' but with 'MOVIES' - instead of 'BOOKS'.

J : WORD OF MOUTH - Many people throughout would 'HEAR ABOUT THE MOVIES' -in question - through - 'WORD OF MOUTH' - this would also include the 'REVIEWS' and also the 'RECOMMENDATION' -from families and also friends.

However if the 'FILM' in question, was a 'HIT' - 'THEN IT WOULD GENERATE THE BUZZ AROUND IT - AND ALSO MORE PEOPLE - WOULD IN FACT -SIMPLY WANT TO SEE IT!.

But also that when 'BEVERLY HILLS COP' came out in 1984, 'FORTY YEARS AGO' especially in the UK is that many of us also had to find out about where to search about 'MORE NEW FUTURE FILM RELEASES' - without - 'SOCIAL MEDIA' - which in those days - didn't even come into fruition - such as the following :

1 : 'THEATERS' 2 : 'NEWSPAPERS' 3 : 'TV & RADIO ADVERTISING' 4 : 'WORD OF MOUTH' 5: 'TRAILERS ADVERTISED IN MOVIE THEATERS' (CINEMAS) 6 : 'MAGAZINES' 7: 'BILLBOARDS AND POSTERS' 8 : 'VIDEO RENTAL STORES' 9 : 'TV PREMIERES' 10 : 'FILM FESTIVALS

And so it was that in summary it was that 'THE PRE-SOCIAL MEDIA' -in question - had relied on the 'THEATERS', 'TELEVISION', 'PHYSICAL MEDIA', and also the 'COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS' - to simply enjoy 'THE MOVIES' like 'BEVERLY HILLS COP'.

For this in question, was like 'A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE' - from today's instant options of various 'STREAMING SERVICES PLATFORMS' - but at least that it had brought many people together - to share in - 'THE MAGIC OF CINEMA' - as - 'THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE'.

So now, the burning question that everyone wants to know why is 'BEVERLY HILLS COP - AXEL F' (aka 'BEVERLY HILLS COP IV') - which is 'PREMIERING' on 'NETFLIX' - a streaming service platform - commencing Wednesday July 3, 2024, instead of showing in movie theatres ?

Well there follows a full explanation why it is - and also what it's all about.

The shift toward 'STREAMING PLATFORMS' (and there are many) for 'FUTURE MOVIE RELEASES' has been influenced by several factors.

It was during 'THE PANDEMIC OF 2019' (aka COVID-19), when many movie theaters (cinemas) - WERE LARGELY CLOSED DOWN.

Many 'FILM STUDIOS' began 'RELEASING FILMS' - directly to 'CONSUMERS' via 'PREMIUM VIDEO ON DEMAND' ('PVOD') and also various 'STREAMING SERVICES'.

This in question, had also expedited the 'COLLAPSE OF TRADITIONAL THEATRICAL WINDOWS', - where 'FILMS' - in general - would 'ARRIVE ON VARIOUS STREAMING SERVICE PLATFORMS' - 'SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THEIR THEATRICAL (CINEMA) RELEASE'.

But now, 'MOVIES' in question - are in fact - 'REROUTED TO STREAMING' - after just 'FORTY-FIVE DAYS' -or less- in 'MOVIE THEATERS'.

This change allows 'STUDIOS' - in question - to adapt by evolving 'CONSUMER PREFERENCES' - and also to 'MAXIMISE THE TRUE VALUE OF THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY' - in a unique 'LANDSCAPE THAT'S FRAUGHT WITH MANY CHALLENGES - AND ALSO UNCERTAINTY'.

And so the move toward 'STREAMING' is in fact 'A STRATEGIC RESPONSE' to 'CHANGING AUDIENCE BEHAVIOUR' and also 'MARKET DYNAMICS'.

Then there's the question of how this has impacted 'MOVIE THEATERS' in general ?

Well the answer to this question has in fact simnifically impacted many 'MOVIE THEATERS' - and also to the fact that here are some unique ways of what could happen in the following headings:

A : 'REDUCED BOX OFFICE REVENUES' - With more films heading directly to 'STREAMING PLATFORMS', many 'THEATERS' have in fact 'EXPERIENCED A DECLINE' in 'BOX OFFICE REVENUE' - and also that there are 'FEWER PEOPLE' that are visiting 'THEATERS', especially for the 'SMALLER' or even 'MID-BUDGET FILMS' -that are now debuting on 'VARIOUS STREAMING SERVICES'.

B : 'SHORTENED THEATRICAL WINDOWS' - The 'TRADITIONAL EXCLUSIVE THEATRICAL WINDOW' (this is simply known as the 'actual' time - between a film's release in movie theaters - and also its availability for home viewing) has in fact - 'SHRUNK'.

There are some movies 'THAT ARE AVAILABLE' for 'AT LEAST FORTY-FIVE DAYS' after their 'THEATRICAL RELEASE' - which also affects the 'THEATERS' ABILITY - to 'ATTRACT MOVIE AUDIENCES' - during that 'CRITICAL PERIOD'.

C: 'CHALLENGES FOR INDEPENDENT THEATERS' - 'THESE INDEPENDENT AND ALSO SMALLER THEATERS' face many 'GREATER CHALLENGES' - as they rely 'HEAVILY ON MAJOR BLOCKBUSTER FILM RELEASES - TO DRAW THE AUDIENCES'.

But also that when these films go 'DIRECTLY TO STREAMING SERVICES' - it also 'IMPACTS THEIR REVENUE' and also the 'SURVIVAL' - and that if you're 'PASSIONATE ABOUT CINEMA AND ALSO THE MOVIES' - then you should 'SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MOVIE THEATER' -because 'THEY NEED YOUR FULL SUPPORT' and also simply because that they need to 'SURVIVE' so that many future generations will want to 'SEE THESE CLASSICS SITUATED IN A MOVIE THEATER - FOR THE FULL-ON CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE - FOR ALL OF US'.

D: 'ADAPTATION AND INNOVATION' - In order to survive, many 'THEATERS' - have had to 'ADAPT TO THE MANY CHANGES'.

Some have 'FOCUSED' simply on 'CREATING THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCES' (such as the luxury seating, dine-in options, and also 'THE SPECIAL EVENTS') to entice movie audiences.

While others in question, have in fact - 'COLLABORATED' - with 'STREAMING SERVICES' for 'EXCLUSIVE SCREENINGS' or even 'PARTNERSHIPS'.

E: 'STREAMING-FIRST RELEASES' (aka 'ORIGINALS') - Some 'STUDIOS' now 'PRIORITIZE STREAMING' over 'THEATRICAL RELEASES'.

And while 'BIG-BUDGET BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES' still 'HIT THE MOVIE THEATERS' in question, the 'SMALLER FILMS' in question - often 'DEBUT' - directly on 'VARIOUS STREAMING PLATFORMS'.

This unique shift, in question, has in fact, 'CHANGED THE DYNAMICS OF FILM DISTRIBUTION'.

And so that in summary, is that the 'VARIOUS STREAMING SERVICES' situated on 'ORIGINAL PLATFORMS' - have in fact disrupted the 'TRADITIONAL THEATER MODEL', leading to the many 'CHANGES' involving 'REVENUE', 'RELEASE STRATEGIES', and also the 'AUDIENCE BEHAVIOUR', but also that many 'THEATERS' in question, continue to evolve, but also to stay relevant in this new landscape.

And so as the countdown draws near to this 'LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL' - TO THE FRANCHISE MOVIE SERIES - my original verdict is simply this -

The film in question is absolutely brilliant, from start to finish - the gags are a lot more funnier - particularly the manufacturers of toys - such as 'FISHER-PRICE' and also 'LEGO - these are the toys in question that we all grew up with - when we were very young - at the time (also other toy manufacturers are also available)- 'AIN'T THAT SO BARBIE DOLL' ! (this is a reference to 'BARBENHEIMER' when in the Summer of 2023, 'both 'OPPENHEIMER' directed by Sir Christopher Nolan, KBE, and also 'BARBIE' directed by Greta Gerwig - 'SQUARED UP AGAINST EACH OTHER'( just think of this as the 'FORTHCOMING GENERAL ELECTION' taking place in the UK on July 4, 2023, (which happens to be AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY) - and also when many parties such as Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour Leader,(and also the challenger) fights it out against Rishi 'Dishi' Sunak the Conservative Leader,( also the current champion) who also happens to be the British PM - Prime Minister - for now at least - the prize for the winner has the keys to move into NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET, on Friday July 5, 2024, situated in Central London, - who wins, who knows, and more importantly who gives a f*** - but at the end of the day - it's their decision that whoever wins is in charge of clearing up the mess - as well as the corruption - that the previous leader who was in charge simply f***** it all up - in the process - as the leader of our beloved country ) - when both of these movies 'OPENED IN MOVIE THEATERS' ON FRIDAY JULY 21, 2023, - 'THE SAME DAY'.

However, it was 'OPPENHEIMER' who simply triumphed over 'BARBIE' - by simply 'BLOWING UP HER WORLD APART' and therefore the moral of the story is 'NEVER TAMPER WITH AN ATOMIC BOMB - BECAUSE YOU COULD SIMPLY DIE FROM THE EFFECTS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IF THE DOLL IN QUESTION IS ACTUALLY MADE OF PLASTIC AND ALSO MANUFACTURED IN THE U.S.' (sorry my golden American tigress -but Margot Robbie is an Australian born actress - and also the true fact that she acts as well as the character of the 'BEST SELLING DOLL' - in question - where as you - my golden 'AMERICAN BEAUTY' - you are classed as 'AN AMERICAN BORN LEGEND' - 'ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL' - but at the end of the day is simply this 'NEVER FORGET YOUR ORIGINAL PLACE OF BIRTH' - and 'ALWAYS BE PROUD OF WHERE YOU CAME FROM') - plus the sharp-cutting-edge editing is superb, the special effects throughout are outstanding, plus the many chases throughout, including a helicopter, - and even a 'SNOWPLOUGH' - ''YES I KNOW ! - A SNOWPLOUGH'' - right in the 'HEIGHT OF THE SUMMER SEASON' is quite 'SURREAL' - but this is 'HOLLYWOOD' where dreams are made -and also fulfilled - are 'QUITE AMAZING' to watch - and also the characters that we grew up with are simply creative - even though that they've aged in the last 'FORTY YEARS', - and also that a lot can happen at that time - that we're simply wishing our lives always - even when it passes us by.

For this is an action-comedy complete with an 80's soundtrack - and that it should have been seen in a movie theater -prior to its timely announcement - as a 'STRAIGHT TO A STREAMING SERVICE' -such as 'NETFLIX - but also that many people who have access to this streaming service - will enjoy this - action comedy - in the comfort of their own establishments, and also because - ''THAT IT SIMPLY DELIVERS THE KNOCKED OFF GOODS'', FROM THE BACKS OF MARY LORRIES ! that are originally parked in 'MOTORWAY SERVICE STATIONS' throughout while the drivers are taking - 'A WELL-EARNED BREAK' and also eating their 'ALL-DAY BREAKFASTS' - just to keep 'THE COUNTRY MOVING' on a regular basis, and also storing up their energies as well.

O.K - so this is in fact - a different environment - watching this in your own homes - rather than a movie theater - where it deserves to be seen - on the big screen - and also for that special touch that really compliments - a blockbuster movie - and known to many as - 'THE FULL-ON MOVIE EXPERIENCE', but at the end of the day - the film in question has plenty of action, humour and also plenty of suspense and also many twists in this thriller - the supporting cast throughout give memorable performances.

However - it is Eddie Murphy's movie - his performance as Axel Foley, the police detective from Detroit - who goes to Beverly Hills, California, and helps his esteemed police colleagues solve out plenty of murders in and also around the city - whilst breaking protocol aka 'the rules'- with his many superiors.

Eddie Murphy is after all an all out action movie-star - and Axel Foley the character in 'BEVERLY HILLS COP - AXEL F' - is his unique creation, but also that Foley, in question, is still a wise-crack detective from Detroit - who enjoys his job very much.

Because after all this is simply known as - ''MURPHY'S MAGNIFICENT MASTERPIECE''.

This is one film in the 'MOVIE FRANCHISE' - that you really shouldn't miss - and is worth seeing on your television screens that are located at your establishments throughout the world, but also that if you're 'A DIE-HARD FAN OF THE 1980'S' - in general - then this will bring back - 'THE ERA OF NOSTALGIC MEMORIES' - that's not only created - but also located - and locked inside the brain of your inner child-hood.

And also that while the movie in question pretends to address 'THE MANY CHANGING ATTITUDES' throughout - then it ultimately ''DELIVERS'' as a hint of nostalgia - and also referencing moments from the 'FIRST TWO MOVIES'' -notably ''BEVERLY HILLS COP I & II' -and so if you're 'A MASSIVE FAN OF THE FILM FRANCHISE SERIES' - then you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane !

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN - AXEL'S BACK IN A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE - AND HE'S BIGGER, OLDER, WISER, AND ALSO BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE - FOLEY'S HERE TO STAY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT HE'S NOT LEAVING THE CITY -AS THERE'S A FIFTH INSTALMENT IN THIS FRANCHISE SERIES - WHICH IS IN DEVELOPMENT - AND WAS ANNOUNCED ON JUNE 21, 2024, - 'THIRTEEN DAYS' BEFORE IT'S PREMIERE OF NETFLIX.

THIS IS AFTER ALL THE MOVIE EVENT OF SUMMER 2024 - AND BEYOND ! - THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR - AND ITS FINALLY HERE - FOR ALL OF US TO EXPERIENCE - INCLUDING THAT 'ICONIC THEME TUME' - courtesy of Mr Harold Faltermeyer - himself.

JUST A QUICK FINAL REMINDER - THAT THIS FILM IS EXCLUSIVELY SHOWING ONLY ON NETFLIX -A STREAMING SERVICE - AND ''NOT IN MOVIE THEATERS'' THROUGHOUT.

THE HEAT'S BACK ON - AND IT'S REALLY BURNING AS HELL - BABY !

OH YES IT IS !

DON'T MISS IT !
