10 Actors Who Hate ONE Movie In Their Franchise
2. Eddie Murphy - Beverly Hills Cop III
As belated sequels go, Beverly Hills Cop III is surely one of the most embarrassing misfires of all time.
Despite having a blatantly bloated $70 million budget - almost double the combined price tags of the first two movies - the threequel was panned by critics and grossed less than half of its predecessor.
In the lead up to its release, star Eddie Murphy typically put on a brave face and praised the film to the high heavens, promising it was "infinitely better than Beverly Hills Cop II."
However, during a 2006 interview on Inside the Actors Studio, Murphy admitted that it was "atrocious," and when discussing the prospect of a fourth film in 2015, he again spoke about part three's failures:
"Before [a fourth film] happens, they've got to get that script right. That movie has to be right. The third Beverly Hills Cop was garbage."
No lies detected, Eddie.
