When hollywood doesn't even bother to try its shitty reboots in theaters anymore . . . this is what we get.  

I don't know why anybody would watch this movie, it's not like there's a bunch of us who grew up in the 80s and will easily get sucked into nostalgia traps.

Is this a universe where we all pretend Beverly Hills Cop 3 didn't exist?

I don't think I ever saw it, and may not have realized it came out.

It came out in 1994, which was the year of Dumb and Dumber, True Lies, Ancient Chinese Whorehouse, Pulp Fiction, Chasers, Speed, and a bunch of other memorable movies, plus John Candy died a few months before BHC3 came out.

i already live in that universe.  i saw it in the theaters and haven't given it another thought.  actually, i think about it every time i'm scrolling through the guide and think it's beverly hills cop 2 but then look closer and see that it's 3 and keep scrolling.

i have a feeling that this is going to be kinda like how michael scott described the evolution of john mclane.  axel used to be a savvy detroit cop with street smarts who kinda played by his own rules and had that bugs bunny thing where he ran around and got away with stuff and left his counterparts (bhpd) chasing their tails.

now it seems like he's gonna be an action hero.  maybe he was in bhc3, but again, i don't recognize that movie.

I'm going to choose to live in a world where this movie and BHC 3 don't exist.

John Candy died a few months before BHC3 came out.

So, John Candy got an advanced screening and could not pretend BHC 3 didn't exist?

Unknown, but he died well before Ancient Chinese Whorehouse came out that fall, so he probably didn’t get an advanced screening,

And speaking of, went and looked, and they still don’t have a 4K or even a Blu-ray release, which is annoying.

Maverick's success gets sequels like this a pass from me.  Done right you can nail it.

Yep, and this looks like they are doing it right, bringing everybody back.

I was at my kids' school a few hours ago for an activity, and was talking to some other older parents, and mentioned the new movie, and told them Murphy and Judge Reinhold are back, with a huge chunk of the supporting cast, with Jerry Bruckheimer producing, and they were all like

I feel like this has some potential.  It's not one of the Adam Sandler collecting-a-paycheck Netflix movies.

I'm expecting on the level of Coming to America 2 or that Matrix movie that came out a year or two ago. Not bad, but not something you're ever gonna watch again.

So I just looked and we are getting a $200 million Twister sequel or something, but Helen Hunt and the others won't be back (obviously Paxton can't be in it).

And don't forget the greatest character from the original also won't be in it, sadly.

There’s a Beverly Hills Cop 3? I’ve also heard there’s an Indiana Jones 4, but I’m pretty sure that’s not true.

Somebody said there was a Star Wars sequel and I'm like "What?  The Death Star got blown up by Luke Skywalker, dude. Ain't going to be a sequel."
