On this day, December 5, 1984, Beverly Hills Cop premiered in theaters across the United States after its initial debut in Los Angeles on December 1. Starring Eddie Murphy as the wisecracking Detroit detective Axel Foley, the film became a defining moment in 80s cinema.

Packed with action, comedy, and Murphy’s iconic performance, Beverly Hills Cop was a massive success, becoming the highest-grossing movie of 1984 with a global box office of over $316 million. Its memorable soundtrack, including Harold Faltermeyer’s “Axel F,” and witty script made it a cultural phenomenon and launched a successful franchise.
