Beverly Hills Cop II
Beverly Hills Cop II is a 1987 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Tony Scott, written by Larry Ferguson and Warren Skaaren, and starring Eddie Murphy. It is the sequel to the 1984 film Beverly Hills Cop and the second installment in the Beverly Hills Cop film series. Murphy returns as Detroit police detective Axel Foley, who reunites with Beverly Hills detectives Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to stop a criminal organization after Captain Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) is shot and seriously wounded.
Plot
Two years after the events of the first film, Beverly Hills Police Department Captain Andrew Bogomil, Detective Billy Rosewood, and Sergeant John Taggart are investigating a series of high-value robberies called the Alphabet Crimes. At each crime scene is left an encrypted letter marked with an alphabetic character distinctive to each heist. Complicating matters is the new political state of the Beverly Hills PD led by the egotistical, incompetent and verbally abusive new police chief Harold Lutz, who suspends Bogomil in retaliation for Rosewood contacting the FBI for assistance, using Mayor Ted Egan's political ambitions as an excuse, and has also been trying to find a legitimate reason to fire Rosewood and Taggart. Lutz also punishes Rosewood and Taggart by demoting them to traffic duty. On his way home, Bogomil is lured into a trap by ruthless henchwoman Karla Fry, the chief enforcer of mastermind Maxwell Dent and left with near-fatal gunshot wounds and a letter marked "B".
