Story Synopsis:
Beverly Hills Cop is director Martin Brest’s action comedy with Eddie Murphy as the cocky street smart detective, Axel Foley, who becomes entangled in an international network of drug smugglers while on the trail of a friend’s murderer in the posh surroundings of Beverly Hills.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.85:1 picture exhibits natural flesh tones, excellent contrast, and good shadow detail. Overall the picture appears film-like with a warm, slightly soft focus. No serious artifacts mar the visual quality.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The stereo soundtrack has a popular music score by Harold Faltermeyer that sets the tone for the action sequences and provide a minimal surround ambience on either soundtrack. Otherwise directional sound effects are minimal and the surrounds barely perceptual in what is essentially a monaural mix punctuated with a stereophonic music score.
