1994 - BEVERLY HILLS COP III, You can't go home again.

My son has been working his way through the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy, which is not to be confused with the Star Wars trilogy or the Samurai trilogy or the John Ford Cavalry trilogy.

It has a lot of gunfire, an unsubtly tries to get some laughs with staging a lot of shootouts at a Disneyland like amusement park. I think the point was to contrast the violence with this make believe world in a comedic way, a rather obvious point.

The director was John Landis, who at this point in his career is definitely on the downside. He does some of the commentary for the "Trailers from Hell" website that Joe Dante created. He is a very amusing guy on these commentaries.

 

However this film just doesn't work anyway you cut it.  This should have been a slam dunk of a film but clearly something went very wrong during the production of Beverly Hills Cop III.
