JUMPING THE SHARK-JOHN LANDIS
BEVERLEY HILLS COP III 1994
trailer
Landis has made some of my personal favourite movies in Animal House, Trading places and The Blues Brothers. This attempt at resurrecting the Beverley Hills Cop franchise was a mistake. It was stripped of a number of the characters from the original and was heavy on the none too subtle comedy. Murphy was at that time trying to play a more seroius cop role and Landis was unclear how to accomodate him. It's an example of two talents coiming together and producing a film that is not terriblke but has zero chemistry. It 's a paint by numbers movie that does no oine involved any favours. The term 'Generic' sums it up nicely
