A strangely-timed and ill-conceived addition to a franchise that had already had it’s day. It’s little other than a vehicle for kick-starting Eddie Murphy’s career, but doesn’t work. Thankfully, Murphy recovered to do a bit better with the likes of “The Nutty Professor”, “Bowfinger” and “Shrek”.

The definitive Eddie Murphy movie.

Axel Foley’s charm bypass results in a follow-up that fails to capture the imagination.
