It just lacks the Action/humor mix the other two have. It never feels as gritty, even though the first two arent really THAT gritty mind you. However, even scenes that should be serious and have some weight to them, such as Todd getting killed, just seem like funny scenes minus the dialogue. Side note, the way Todd's death is handled and acted out by murphy is probably the worst bit of acting in the entire series. Absolutely terrible acting. If you cant remember it go back and watch it, its just poorly done. Anyway, that aside, I think the entire visual look of the film is to blame. It just fails.

-The soundtrack was hammed up to sound moremodern? uhhh, yeah just bad also, the plot with the theme park was just plain stupid and pretty lame to be honest. And the Annihalator weapon was ridiculous and just idiotic. Does not compare with the prior two installments in the series at all, disappointing. Not surprised at all that this greatly underperformed at the box office when it opened. Too bad.

Him complaining about the ticket prices and then giving in and paying was just the exact oppoiste of what we'd expect from Axel Foley and it really just made no sense for him to do that.
I thought the opening 15 minutes at the car shop were good (minus the killing of Todd) but the rest of the movie just sucked.

I love this movie. Probably because it
is
so different from the others, I never really cared for the others, I'm not a big action buff.

The opening scene where those two fat guys start performing to the camera set the stupid tone for this dull, inane piece of sh!te. And then that ludicrous scene where Murphy is driving the red car and he's getting sprayed with machine gun fire and everything gets torn up except him that set the idiocy level for the action scenes throughout the rest of it. But at least Brigit Nielsen was't in it.

It just would have been better with more rosewood and taggert, I mean taggert wasn't even in the movie. The first two movies it was always a trio of miscreants getting into trouble, everybody was in on it. Also Paul Reiser and the guy who played Bogomil were essential for minor characters. Hector Elizando I love in general, but he was reallly annoying in this movie.
The plot wasn't any stupider than the first two movies, but shifting of the cast really screwed it up. -

BHC (the original) was a movie drawn from threadbare, mediocre and cliched material. That it ended up entertaining was due to the producers/director letting most of the main cast improv their scenes. By Part 3 you had a director whose best days were behind him and a leading man who was desperate to get back on 'top' that he no longer cared if he was half-assing it.

- No strip clubs
- No tity shots
- No classic Axel Foley humor
- No cool 80's tune
- Horrible cinematography
- Horrible action
- Too kiddish
- No adult humor
- Rosewood was a pussy
- No European villians such as the first 2 films
The problem I have with this film is why are people doubting Foley. Did they forget what he did in the BHC 1 and 2. He was a hero. It's like let's throw out everything from the other films and portray Foley as someone else. Also Foley is extremely clumsy in this film, compared to other films where he was cleaver.

RE: stevenmcpunisher- "These movies are about the comedy , they arent about the action scenes."
Funny you should say that because since the FIRST Beverly Hills Cop, all buddy cop action comedies that followed mimicked the same fourmula especially with their chase sequences.
