eddie murphy forgets what happened in beverl hills cop 2 and 3

"The reason Beverly Hills Cop 3 was soft was because Taggart's not in the movie, and the villain isn't villainous enough, and Axel didn't have any skin in the game.

The first movie, Axel's best friend is killed. And the second one, his boss, the Chief, gets killed. And then in the third one, Uncle Dave is in trouble. That's what the movie's about.

This is when you can tell a movie's not going to work: when you have one of those lines that you've seen millions [of times] and hundreds of thousands of movies have said this line. There was one scene where I had Uncle Dave in the back, and he was dying. I was driving, and I said, "Don't you die on me, man!" How many times have you seen that in a movie? When somebody's dying, "Don't you die on me!" If you in a movie, and you scream, "Don't you die on me," that means the movie's not going to work. [Laughs]"
