The highly anticipated revival of the iconic $712,000,000 grossing franchise, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, has sent fans into a frenzy of excitement. Netflix's fresh take on the beloved series’ sequel has stirred up nostalgia and curiosity, with the introduction of new characters and the return of familiar faces after a three-decades-old hiatus. As the release date inches closer, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the adventures of Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley and his team. 

Netflix took to its official handle a few minutes ago to release the first glimpse of the high-octane anticipated sequel featuring Primetime Emmy Awards winner, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Previously last year, the trailer had fans in a chokehold with its first glimpse. In a heart-stopping sneak peek, Netflix's Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F clip shows the men in charge of executing a daring helicopter escape, with the duo fleeing from their pursuers who are "trying to kill them." 

As they reach the rooftop, Foley convinces a reluctant Abbot to take the controls, unaware that his LAPD training did not quite prepare him for a smooth takeoff - in fact, Abbot admits to having "crashed the freaking helicopter" during his training, leading to his departure from the force. To fans' excitement, the movie has preserved Murphy's signature comedic flair without a dent in his action-hero chops, which can be seen in the just-released clip.
