Any mote of urban grit in the forerunner, or anyway in the opening credits sequence of the forerunner, has been neatly whisked away by Kleenex. And since the brash Detroit detective (Eddie Murphy) has already made the acquaintance of Frick and Frack on the Beverly Hills police force (Judge Reinhold, John Ashton), there is very little friction on that front either. What we have to settle for, indeed what we have to go ga-ga for, is simply Eddie Murphy: Eddie and his inhaled horselaugh, Eddie and his rapid patter, Eddie and his king-size conceit. Oh, and a different director: Tony Scott and his indoor fog. With Jurgen Prochnow and Brigitte Nielsen. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
