Just a few of his successes since BHC 3:
Nutty Professor
Mulan
Shrek
Dr Dolittle
etc, etc
See a pattern here? heheh
Now with that said, BHC3 was horrifically bad...

Can wait!

You lost me at "Ratner". I have no doubt this will suck. Anyone want to wager that Axel gets stuck with some kids, or a young rookie partner that's played by some popular rapper? Pass, and phenomenally fail.

Hey, I despise Ratner as much as the next guy, but if this is an R-rated action-packed swearfirst like 1 & 2 I am there opening day. Murphy himself disowns 3.
But, this film NEEDS Ashton, Reinhold, and Ronny Cox. Give me that and the Beverly Hills Cop theme and I'll be a happy camper.

I'll check it out as long as it has a R rating.
Btw, I find part 3 to be my favorite by far. I am in the vast minority on this one!

Yeah, 3 is flat out awful.
The only thing going for it is John Saxon.
And we definitely need all the original cast to return.
And I hate to say it but this actually might be a good project for Ratner.
No style, substance necessary. Just your typical blueprint director needed to get the shots. The script and Eddie Murphy need to carry this to make it work.

Part III is up there with the first one for me. I think John Landis did a great job.
I'll see this one, but only if it has Judge Reinhold. I hope he's not too busy hosting Mock Trial to be in it.

Same for me. I've always really enjoyed BHCIII. Personally, I'm looking forward to this next one.

while BHC3 had it's moments, for the most part it felt very artificial.
to be perfectly honest, part 2 wasn't very good either, but it was finely made, and had all the same cast of cops from the original (that we cared about), which is more than I can say about part 3.

I thought that BHCIII was not a part of the series, there were too many tight shots and had a real soundstage feel to it. The actual movie isn't bad, but I always thought the selling point of series was that this guy is a normal cop trying to fit in a grandiose lifestyle with mansions, fancy cops, and the like.

Number 4 will be loaded with rap of course.
