I hope the 4th instalment takes a more serious tone


They *beep* up no. 3 big time.
The only way to salvage this franchise now is to try and give it a more realistic edge. Of course throw in the occasional laugh.

I think what you are saying is that you hope the comedy in the next installment is less broad than it was in part three, not that the next film should be more serious, that it should be more like a standard action film.

If so, I agree.

I'd like it to return to the same balance of comedy, drama, and action that the first one had.

I just hope if they make it, it doesn't suck.

a fourth movie would be awesome, i love sequels, loathe remakes. when the villain gets cake all over his face is a really funny shot, notice you never see what happens to the guy running from the police after jumping out of the truck in the beginning of the movie, that was a bit odd, another thing you react to is the scene in the club where foley walks up and starts messing with a guy pointing the rifle right at him. i had just watched the third beverly hills cop movie before this and realise taggart really is missing in that, the guy replacing him is friendly toward foley just like rosewood and taggart almost constantly ticked off leaves something missing, if they make a fourth they really need to bring taggart back then. i also realise all three movies have the pattern of someone close to foley getting killed or injured and him travelling from detroit to seek revenge.

Ship has sailed. Murphy’s done. I mean, it’s been nearly 40 fucking years.

Murphy's got the Chevy Chase Disease..

So, do yo think we’re going to have an Eddie Murphy late-night talk show that lasts 2 weeks and then in ignominiously cancelled?

reply


LOL. I'll give Murphy enough credit to say that he's probably smart enough to know better than to attempt it.

Chase was pretty funny until he decided he was smarter than everyone else and funnier than everyone else. Once that happens, the game is over - ego poisons the effort. Murphy became the same way as Chase and it showed in his work.

I think this has been cancelled since these posts.

Doubtful. Everything has to be meta and self-aware nowadays.
