ive seen that guy in so many things, as the stupid cop in gremlins, a tiny bit part as a hobo in Frances, a thug in an episode of Little House, and even as another henchman in Under Seige 2. the guy is hilarious to look at with his droopy eyes.

Yeah, but if you were Victor Maitland, wouldn't you have whacked Zack for being so sloppy in Detroit?
If he'd killed Axel back in Detroit, there'd be no problems.
In Beverly Hills Cop 2, Dent had Caine whacked for being sloppy, so it seems the writers caught this and attempted to do it right the second time around.

No because firstly, I'd be one of those rare villains who
doesn't
feel the need to execute his employees for every shortcoming. As far as I'm concerned, the hit was clean - Axel never saw either attacker, so after he was knocked out, there was no reason to kill him. Casey removed Axel from the equation in a manner that meant he didn't
need
to be killed.
And if it's anyone's fault, it's Casey's, because he was the one who attacked Axel and didn't finish him off. Why punish Zack for Casey's mistake?
That he found his way to me (roleplaying as Maitland in this case) is an unexpected and unforeseen development, but not the end of the world. Remember, he never saw either of my guys. He stood in the room with one of them and didn't recognize him. There's no immediate danger of discovery. He didn't even come here suspecting me.
So what
would
I do? I have two options of how to solve the potential problem that's landed on my doorstep, and neither involve killing my own guys.
Option 1 is to play innocent. Again, there is no immediate threat because Axel cannot identify my men. When Axel asks me what Mikey did for me, I'll tell the truth; he was a security guard. I won't mention bonds at all and if it comes up at all I'll deny any knowledge of them. I'll allay my visitor's fears and ensure he leaves believing his curiosity satisfied.
I certainly won't hit the "goon summoner" button and have my unwanted guest thrown through a window. That only makes me look guilty and needlessly vandalizes my own property.
If
, however, Axel persists, then I'll know he's a threat and I'd ensure he be gotten rid of. Probably while he's on his way back to Detroit so nothing actually happens
in
Beverly Hills anywhere near me or my place of business.
Option 2 is to just skip to Option 1's conclusion and nip the growing problem in the bud. Allay Axel's suspicions, have him depart satisfied, and then have him done away with before he can become a problem. This is my most logical course of action. After all, if he came all the way here from Detroit, he isn't likely to let up after one visit no matter how satisfied with my answers he seems, and I would rather ere on the side of caution.
So, that's what I'd do if I were Victor Maitland.

Considerable.
Although, with respect to the question of why to whack Zack instead Casey, the answer is because Zack was in charge. Kasey was just added muscle.
So, like Darth Vader, you say "You have failed me for the last time, Admiral Zack" as he crumples to the floor dead. Then you turn to Casey, and say "you are in command now,
admiral
Casey" and the dude has seen a very clear warning that failure comes at a cost.
Otherwise, throwing him through the windows was a great move. The story was "we've got 8 witnesses that say you blah blah blah and started breaking up the place." If he was not a cop, but rather just some black guy, the Beverly Hills police would be much more inclined to believe the word of a respected local businessman over some foul-mouthed jerk from outta town.
That would have ended the threat without having to kill the guy. But yes, if he keeps showing up, like while you're enjoy the buffet at the Harrow Club, calling the police again isn't the answer; now's the time for Jennie to stop worrying about what to do with him, and concern herself more with what is going to happen to her.
