Oh my sweet heavens. How on the heals of us complaining about how Eddie Murphy is just a shell of his former self on the Audio Edition a few weeks ago… it looks like Eddie was listening… just not listening well.
Word on the street is that Eddie Murphy is coming back to the Beverly Hills Cop series with #4. That’s right folks… Beverly Hills Cop 4. Could there be a worse idea?
The good folks over at Cinematical give us this little chart to ponder when thinking about Beverly Hills Cop 4:
Beverly Hills Cop (1984) — $234 million in domestic box office — and people liked it.
Beverly Hills Cop 2 (1987) — $154 million — and people tolerated it.
Beverly Hills Cop 3 (1994) — $43 million — and people pretty much hated it.
It doesn’t take a degree from MIT to see the pattern here. But oh well… when did common sense ever stop some people?
If this turns out to be true… I will officially have lost 100% all hope in Eddie Murphy. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
