At one point John Landis appears in the movie, wearing a silly t-shirt. Really, enough said.

The writing was terrible. The direction sub-par. The plot so tired it should be sleeping next in Hoffa's grave.

The worst of the three by far, a movie that was not made for any other reason than to cash in on the success of the first two.

The most dissapointing film of the series, but it stills contains quite a few entertaining set pieces, and couple of the supporting characters from the previous films.

Only recommended for fans of the series.

Even the third installment of the "Beverly Hills Cop" series is amazing. The movie doesn't lose it's respect. It's still funny, full of action and overall an enjoyable movie. A nice ending to the adventures of the funny cop.

This didn't feel like a Beverly Hills Cop movie, alot of the supporting cast wasn't there. Not alot of action or comedy as the first two.

The Best in the Series, Beverly Hills Cop 3 follows Alex Foley once again as he try's to find the person behind the killing of his boss.

Foley(Eddie Murphy) is a bubbly, funny character who goes by his own rules.
With a great sound track and theme tune, this addition of the series finishes it off in style humor and some good old fighting.

  Landis's handling of the cop business is unnecessarily laborious, but Murphy's patented insincerity is winning. And a few of the slapstick set pieces are genuinely thrilling, especially a riotous nighttime chase scene.

  The comedy is mostly restricted to one-liners, some of which aren't funny. And the action is uninspired, barely tapping the vast potential of an amusement park chase film.

  The Beverly Hills Cop formula shows serious signs of wear in its third outing as Eddie Murphy tries desperately to hold onto his tough-guy, mock-grin edge while screenwriters and director John Landis do little more than stir-fry lame gags with furious but tiresome fusilades of gunfire. [25 May 1994, p.E1]

  Beverly Hills Cop III is a flat-out action comedy in which the action is unimpressive and the comedy so mild it seldom hits the mark; for a series only into its third installment, Beverly Hills Cop III is shockingly toothless.

  It's now become Hollywood gospel that if a high concept film is reasonably successful, then make a sequel and if that raises any interest at all, then, hey why not try one more. It's a shame that here the studios just don't know when to stop with this episode ruining the name of what was once an enjoyable franchise.

  There is, admittedly, something splendidly subversive about putting the movie's arch-villains into a children's theme park - the ultimate symbol of both apple-pie family values and the whole U.S. entertainment industry. There are no real worms in this apple, however; like most flicks conceived as marketing vehicles, it's hollow at the core. [27 May 1994, p.D3]

  Though not quite the fiasco of revved-up gunplay that Beverly Hills Cop II was, this new movie, directed by John ''Rock-'em Sock-'em'' Landis, is just a clunky action thriller, with occasional comic moments rationed out to the audience like stray crumbs.

  Although the limits on Beverly Hills Cop III are pretty obvious, it's not a total write-off. Still, it's time to stop making movies about Murphy's Motown cop and start making one about Serge. [25 May 1994, p.69]

  Beverly Hills Cop III is perhaps the dumbest of the cop trio. There are no surprises, there's no real police work to unravel, and there are no mysteries. It's all very predictable with lots of gunplay, noise, and blood. [3 Jun 1994]

  Whatever juice is left in the "Cop" franchise or in the once unstoppable career of Eddie Murphy peters out ignominiously in this poor excuse for a sequel.

  The formula has stayed the same, but Murphy isn't the Foley of 10 years ago. The only thing that remains is his patented Chic-let grin. [7 Jun 1994]

  There's a fundamental lack of human feeling in Beverly Hills Cop III that makes you want to avert your eyes from the people around you when the lights come up. Attending this movie makes you feel like an accomplice to the corruption. [25 May 1994, p.1]

  Beverly Hills Cop III is a generic action movie, an Eddie Murphy film with only a trace of Eddie Murphy.

  De Souza's script is an uninspired, long-winded we-know-whodunit. Although Landis's comic routines provide occasional relief, they're tired reprises from previous "Cop" films.
