Beverly Hills Cop/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene: In III, the dancing carjackers, dancing to Diana Ross and the Supremes' "Come see about me".
  • Complete Monster: Ellis DeWald, along with his Mooks, in part III are the most despicable villains in the Beverly Hills trilogy. While the villians of the previous films were simply Magnicifent Bastards who still had standards, these guys have no empathy whatsoever.
    • Their crime? They gun down an entire chop shop with some corrupt mechanics (who were not even dangerous) simply for not being useful no more (and also being witness). DeWald's Mooks (the Wonderworld security guards) have no problem endangering a lot of lives of innocent children and other park visitors, their stupidity caused a ferris wheel to malfunction, almost killing two kids if Axel didn't save them. Yet, no one calls the security guards on it and Axel gets the blame.
    • DeWald finally kicks the dog by shooting the much beloved Uncle Dave (don't worry, he survives) and frames Axel for the crime.
  • Ear Worm: You've heard the theme song.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!
      • NO, I CANNOT!!
  • Special Effects Failure: In III when Axel runs over Taddeo (the henchman DeWald shoves out), Taddeo turns into the world's fakest-looking dummy.
  • What an Idiot!: In II, getting into a pitched firefight in the middle of an arms depot. Good guys and bad guys alike are lucky to be alive after that one.
