Beverly Hills Cop/Trivia


 * Executive Meddling: When the script for Beverly Hills Cop was in development the character of Jenny was supposed to be the Love Interest. After Eddie Murphy was finally cast in the part, Paramount got nervous and decided to make Jenny Axel's platonic childhood friend.
 * Old Shame: Eddie Murphy has spoken negatively about Beverly Hills Cop III since its first release.
 * What Could Have Been: Both Mickey Rourke and Sylvester Stallone were approached to play Axel Foley. When Stallone was attached to the film the character of Jenny was supposed to be his Love Interest. After Eddie Murphy got the part, Paramount made the somewhat cowardly decision to make Jenny Axel's platonic friend.
