10 Films Hollywood Could Remake With All Female Casts
6. Beverly Hills Cop
The Original: Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) tracks his friend’s killer to Beverly Hills, where he encounters by-the-book cops Rosewood and Taggart (Judge Reinhold and John Ashton), their uptight boss (Ronny Cox) and a drug kingpin (Steven Berkoff).
The Remake: If Ghostbusters works, here’s another its cast could remake – give Leslie Jones the Murphy role, cast Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig as the cops plus Cecily Strong as their boss. With Kate McKinnon filling out the cast as the kingpin, we’re good to go.
Would It Work? Did you see Beverly Hills Cop 2? How about Beverly Hills Cop 3 (that’s the one set in an amusement park)? We are not talking cinematic gold here, so even if the movie’s flat, forced and unfunny, nobody can call it an insult to the franchise.
