Eddie Murphy reveals the one reference to the original Beverly Hills Cop that he fought to keep out of Axel F. Murphys iconic 1980s cop is back in Netflixs streaming sequel, and so too are many elements from the original movies, including the iconic “Axel F” theme song. One joke from OG Beverly Hills Cop that didnt make its way to the sequel, however, is the banana in the tailpipe, a gag that, in the first film, saw Axel foiling police officers on his tail by sabotaging their vehicle in a hilarious way.
