Beverly Hills Cop
Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) isn’t exactly the pride of the Detroit Police Department. When he has another bust go bad and a bunch of private property is destroyed in the process, his boss isn’t happy. But when his old buddy Mikey comes to town and ends up dead at Axel’s apartment building later that night, he’s even less happy.
In fact, he’s so irate that he won’t even let Axel in on the investigation, so Axel does what just about anyone would do. He asks for some time off. But instead of sticking around Detroit, he heads to California. That makes sense, too, because it seems that Mikey had just taken a new job as a security guard at a warehouse there, and maybe it had something to do with his death.
