      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in a boxed set collection of all three movies:

    Story Synopsis:
    Beverly Hills Cop III is the second sequel to the hit comedy Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy as Detroit cop Axel Foley hot in pursuit of killers who gunned down his old boss. Foley discovers them doubling as security guards in the Los Angeles-based theme park WonderWorld. His old friends Billy (Reinhold) and Serge (Pinchot) come to his aid as he uncovers a counterfeiting scheme deep in the heart of the park. Foley goes deep, deep, deep undercover as Okey Dokey, a seven-foot blue elephant but the crooks turn the tables...but not for long. (Gary Reber)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits a pleasing picture, with images that are sharp and detailed. Colors are rich and fully saturated, with well balanced fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation appear to be nicely rendered. There is a bit of edge enhancement noticed, but little pixelization. Overall, the picture is clean and smooth and should be quite satisfying throughout. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #59 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read Widescreen Review for years because it has been the only magazine available to me that describes the benefits and options available to anyone interested in widescreen movie viewing. I have learned a lot about movies and their display options (including sound) from reading this magazine.
