What Has Eddie Murphy Said About the New ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ Movie?

Director Mark Molloy revealed that Eddie improvised many of his best moments on screen. Per Netflix, the filmmaker said, “Some of the funniest moments in Axel F are when Eddie’’s improvising. For me, a big part of my job was to create the right environment, cast the right people around Eddie to allow him to do what he does best.”

While speaking with CBR, Eddie reflected on his original 1984 movie. At the time, the comedian was known for his iconic laugh, but he didn’t want to be remembered for that one trait.

“In the ’80s, I was like, ‘I don’t want to be known for a laugh,'” Eddie told the outlet in June 2024. “I noticed some people would do an impression of me, and that’s all they’d do, they’d laugh. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to stop laughing like that.’ I forced myself to stop laughing like that, which is really an unnatural thing. Now I don’t laugh like that.”
