Good movie with terrible action sequences

This whole series is marked by horrible action sequences. The shootout scenes are comically bad, and really bring the movies down. They're also completely unnecessary, or completely excessive, IMO. I'm supposed to believe that 3 guys with handguns and a couple shotguns are going to take down 30+ with machine guns? And reloading is only necessary for dramatic effect. Bad guys can't hit a barn if they're standing inside it; good guys can pick off a shooter at 50 yards with a handgun.
Whose influence was it that shoehorned these awful scenes into otherwise decent movies? -

The gun fight continued without much casualties. The bad guys didn't surrender until police backup arrived.
I got nothing against the action scenes.

I loved the action scenes! They weren't too overdone, or too unrealistic. Sure, the good guys would have likely been hit a few times during the ending, but this is a MOVIE, and a comedy from the 80's, so some liberties were taken.
The ending with Victor getting killed was pretty spot on!
I hope part four is close to as good as the original. -

The action sequences from Beverly Hills Cop were copied by almost every cop action movie for the rest of the 1980s. Even Fletch seemed to be influenced.
When theres no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth. -

This is in referance to yor list of people who died tragicly. I think that Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Born January 9 1948 Died October 20 1977 Age 29. He and another member of the band, Steve Gaines B. October 14 1949 D. October 20 1977 Age 28. Died tragicly in a plane crash. They should be added to the list as well.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LISTS. Had capss lock on again Oooops. -

You may have laughed, but when I saw this in the cinemas back in the day, the audience actually cheered and applauded when Victor got blown away. When was the last time you saw that, people applauding in a movie?
