It's back on:

Should have got this one like 20 years.

Netflix exclusive

That is awesome....

Huh. Well that works.

So when are we gonna see the inevitable remake/sequel of Beverly Hills Ninja?

The director of Batgirl is taking over:

Starts filming this week:

The movie that didn't even get a release despite having a workprint?

Well, basically the Batgirl directors were on board to do this but then jumped ship to do Batgirl when that came around. Meanwhile they were replaced on this by another guy and it's happening now.

Also, John Ashton is still around but he's looking pretty ancient... but this HAS to have Judge Reinhold, right?

Judge Reinhold and John Ashton spotted on set.

Man it's so weird he kept his boyish smile even as a 60 year old adult.

Reinhold I figured, but Ashton? Wow. OK. Let's do it. But also in the article:

"The premise of the fourth film sees Axel return to Beverly Hills to investigate possible corruption in the force after the death of an old friend."

Well, there it is. One of those two guys get killed in the beginning of the movie. Probably Ashton.

Looks good. Looks like I better re-watching the first 3 movies again. I can already hear the Axel F theme.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: I can't wait to see this!!

Also, where are all of the "race hustlers" and woke $#!((ers to go on about "the racism" for this one? Shouldn't it be a talking point for those $#!(bags? After all we apparently had "the first black superhero" with Black Panther, so this should be a huge deal for those fools!

Anyway, love BHC, can't wait for this.... It's going to sell a million 4k Blu-Ray sets of the series. Lethal Weapon is probably up next!

Yeah, I have to admit... that trailer made me smile more than I expected it would.

It should be! "Lethal Finale" has been circling for a while now. Apparently from his deathbed Richard Donner told the studio he wanted Mel Gibson to direct it, so there it is. Definitely if BHC4 makes a lot of noise it could light a fire under that.

I'm looking forward to it!

From a trailer it looks more like Bad Boys, what with all this chases and explosions.
But it looks fairly good, even, if I hate this blueish color correction, prevalent in some modern movies.

I wonder, why its released on Netflix, instead of cinemas.

From what I remember it was a two part Netflix development deal with Dolemite is My Name. Also, it should help lock in the R-rating. If this ends up being PG-13 there is really no excuse for it to be such.

Producers probably felt that it was more of a "sure thing" than in theaters. And I tend to agree, if that turned out to be true.

It was a tough shoot.

I'm really hoping for a win here. Coming 2 America really crushed me and my decades of actually pretty reasonable expectations.

I'm hoping for a win too. I want this to be the reason to go buy all the BHC flicks on 4k even though I'll probably only watch them one more time in life.

Might be worth a watch.

I suspect this will be like Coming 2 America 2, where it'll be fun for fans of the series, but a lot of it will re-tread the original movie(s).

You know, I've watched this latest trailer a few times and... I'm worried. If they packed the best into it, I'm not sure. It may be "Remember this stuff?" with 2 or 3 big set pieces.

Coming 2 America wasn't outright horrible, but you can definitely watch part 1 and then watch part 2 and go, "Wow, the quality of filmmakers and filmmaking just dropped like 200%." Which isn't to say the Beverly Hills Cop movies are emblematic of high quality beyond the first movie. Though I love the grit of the second one. The third one is bananas (which nobody likes or at least loves), which, oddly enough, seems to be the "tone" of these trailers for 4.

The surrendering of a theatrical release for this troubles me as it did for Coming 2 America. When we were in COVID there was a rhyme and a reason... now? I know it's not as simple as "they don't believe it would work in theaters" as much as "Netflix made the highest offer" but it's still not very comforting. Though maybe that was the only way to get the "R" rating. In which case maybe in retrospect it will be worth it? But it has to be good.

Saw it. Jeeze... idk. I liked it but I didn't love it, and I don't think it would have done much in theaters. There was kernels of a good idea in there, but I think they needed another pass or two at the script. It felt way more "safe" than it needed to be and I wasn't really laughing. One bit in the car with the Perfect Strangers guy that I assume was improv, I chuckled there.

It definitely falls in line with what the franchise has given us but they didn’t really try to add anything new to freshen things up. It was entertaining and certainly worth watching if you like the original but it could’ve been more.

Watched it a few days ago. I thought it was great. Basically everything it needed to be and had all of the beats regarding what these movies are. It was good!

It's like they didn't try hard enough with the "jokes." I'll give an example, Axel gets to a hotel and starts to do a routine with the clerk but then just gives up and drops it with "I'm too tired to do that." I wanted to hear it! The movie didn't even give Axel that many opportunities to "con" people and that's usually been the cornerstone of good BHC movies. And the big joke at the hotel is she tells him, "That'll be $950 a night" and the camera cuts to Axel for him saying, "I love Beverly Hills!" End scene. And that's it, that's the joke. It's not funny.
