Great Box Set, October 27, 2005
This review is from: Beverly Hills Cop - The Complete Line Up (DVD)
When I review movies, especially in box sets, I assume readers are looking over reviews to find information about the bonus material and overall "gift set" quality rather than the actual movie. This might be assuming too much, but I believe people will be reading reviews of movies they have seen and would like to purchase.
I have two main issues with some box sets. Some companies like to use a cardboard or heavy paper case to house each DVD in a box set. These cases are also used for individual DVDs by some, but they are not as sturdy as the plastic cases. The other issue is about the bonus material or edition. Many box sets are simply a grouping of movies in a series that are placed in a box. Some box sets are not comprised of special editions of the movies, and some don't even have any special material.
This Beverly Hills Cop box set comes complete with all the items I look for in a quality box set.
The DVDs are housed in the durable plastic, not cardboard, cases.
Each of the three movies is the Special Collector's Edition which comes complete with many special features.

Great Collection but a big flaw....., March 8, 2003
This review is from: Beverly Hills Cop - The Complete Line Up (DVD)
I'm a Beverly Hills Cop Fan ever since it first came out. This DVD Boxed Set is definately worth it, but the only big problem is that, Part 1 and 3 are in standard format, and only part 2 is in widescreen format. The box mentions all 3 are in widescreen format, but that was not true.... In the future they should come out with both widescreen AND standard, and also check the format before they actually publish/sell it.... Kinda disappointing...

The Complete Lineup of Laughter, April 25, 2002
This review is from: Beverly Hills Cop - The Complete Line Up (DVD)
Eddie Murphy is brilliant as he stars in all three of theses hilarious Beverly Hills Cop movies as Axel Foley, a Detroit cop that's always getting involved where he shouldn't be- Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills Cop 1 is a classic and definitely worth watching, because of Eddie's hilarious personality. Beverly Hills Cop 2 is mildly entertaining compared to the 1st and 3rd, because of the weak lead villain actress, poor sound recording, and mild plot. Beverly Hills Cop 3 is the most modern installment that packs loads of laughter and action centered on a theme park called Wally's World. The DVD contents are adequate, but not extraordinary; cool menus, trailers, commentaries, and behind the scenes are all included. This set is definitely worth one's time and money if your an aficionado of Eddie Murphy or you enjoy comedy-action packed movies! Pros: Top Notch acting by Eddie Murphy, action-comedy, adequate DVD content Cons: The 2nd sequel was bland on all aspects and the DVDs could have had more features.
