− | + | '''''Beverly Hills Cop''''' is a 1984 action comedy directed by [[Martin Brest]] (''[[Midnight Run]]'') and starring [[Eddie Murphy]] as Axel Foley, a Detroit Police detective who travels to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of one of his old friends. [[Sylvester Stallone]] was originally cast as Foley, but script problems caused him to leave the production (Stallone would later use some of the elements he developed for this film for his 1986 action movie ''[[Cobra (1986)|Cobra]]''). Murphy then was quickly cast in the role, and the film, which turned out to be a huge blockbuster, helped him become one of the biggest movie stars of the 1980's. Murphy would return as Foley in two sequels: ''[[Beverly Hills Cop II]]'' (1987) and ''[[Beverly Hills Cop III]]'' (1994). | |

Beverly Hills Cop is a 1984 action comedy directed by Martin Brest (Midnight Run) and starring Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a Detroit Police detective who travels to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of one of his old friends. Sylvester Stallone was originally cast as Foley, but script problems caused him to leave the production (Stallone would later use some of the elements he developed for this film for his 1986 action movie Cobra). Murphy then was quickly cast in the role, and the film, which turned out to be a huge blockbuster, helped him become one of the biggest movie stars of the 1980's. Murphy would return as Foley in two sequels: Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) and Beverly Hills Cop III (1994).
The following weapons were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop (1984):
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
Browning Hi-Power
Detroit PD Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) carries as his sidearm a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The manufacturer, FN, switched from an internal extractor to the external extractor in 1963 and switched from a ring hammer to a spur hammer in 1972, which confirms Foley's gun as a post-WWII model. The Hi-Power would continue to be his weapon of choice in the subsequent sequels.
Smith & Wesson 639
A Detroit police officer at the beginning of the film uses a Smith & Wesson 639 as his sidearm. Detective Jeffrey Friedman (Paul Reiser) can be also seen with one tucked in his waistband. Casey (Michael Champion) also uses one to hold Axel and gunpoint, and later to shoot at Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold). Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) uses this as his primary sidearm, as seen during the climax of the film. It is likely that the same gun was used in all scenes because they all have wood grips and adjustable sights.
Colt MK IV Series 70 (Nickel)
Inspector Todd (Gil Hill) carries a nickel Colt MK IV Series 70 in his waistband. It is identified as a MK IV Series 70 by its grips.
Revolvers
Colt Detective Special
BHPD Detective William "Billy" Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) carries a nickel 1st generation Colt Detective Special as his primary weapon.
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose
Sergeant John Taggart (John Ashton) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose as his primary weapon.
Smith & Wesson Model 629 (Custom Mag-na-ported)
Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) uses a custom Mag-na-ported Smith & Wesson Model 629 with a 2.5 inch barrel at the end of the film. This is likely the same revolver used by Powers Boothe in the film Extreme Prejudice.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
In the opening chase, several Detroit police officers are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers. They are noted as Model 10's by their lack of a rear adjustable sight. The Model 10 was the standard issue duty sidearm for the Detroit Police Department at the time the movie was shot. Also technically accurate is the fact that all the revolvers carried by the Detroit Police have a nickel finish.
Smith & Wesson Model 67
In the opening scene, one Detroit police officer is armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 67 revolver, the stainless version of the Model 15. It is noted as a Model 67 by its rear adjustable sight, which the other officers Model 10s lack.
Charter Arms Undercover
Zack (Jonathan Banks) kills Axel's friend Mikey with a Charter Arms Undercover revolver.
Dan Wesson Model 15
Several Beverly Hills Police Department officers use Dan Wesson Model 15 revolvers with enclosed ejector rod and ventilated rib, indicating that it is the standard issue sidearm for the Department. At first sight, it looks like a Colt Trooper, but looking closely, it can be identified as a Dan Wesson revolver.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37
One of the strip club robbers (Paul Drake) is armed with an Ithaca 37 with rifle sights and the stock sawed-off. Axel distracts the robber, then overpowers him and takes the shotgun from him. Later in the film, Taggart arms himself with an Ithaca 37 when he enters Maitland's property - His Ithaca likewise appears to be the 'Police Special' version with the rifle sights and 18.5" barrel. Beverly Hills police officers are also seen wielding Ithacas.
Sawed-off Double-Barrel Shotgun
The second robber (Tom Everett) at the strip club uses a Sawed-Off Double Barreled Shotgun before being disarmed by Sgt. Taggart (John Ashton).
Smith & Wesson 3000
Zack (Jonathan Banks) uses a pistol-gripped Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun during the climax of the film when he tries to kill Axel in Maitland's home.
Submachine Guns
IMI Uzi
Maitland's thugs are armed with full-size Uzis during the final gunfight at the end of the film.
Unidentified firearms
We can see a few handguns that are hard to identify precisely: A security guard (Rex Ryon) at the supply warehouse is seen with an unknown revolver in his holster.
During the climax, the two thugs in the security room are armed with unknown weapons.
