As he teams up again with L.A. cop Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), Foley's investigation leads him to Wonder World, a theme park that is also the front for a major counterfeiting ring.

Like most flicks conceived as marketing vehicles, it's hollow at the core.

Gimmicks replace characterization at every turn.

[A] goofy vanity project.

One wonders where the Eddie Murphy of 48 Hours and Trading Places has gone. The irreverence is still there, but there's no verve or freshness.

Time to go back and stay on the East coast.

Murphy once swore never to make another Beverly Hills Cop movie and never to work with John Landis again. He should have kept both promises.

The original is great, the sequel entertaining, the third one absolutely unnecessary.

There's absolutely no excuse for this.

Unimaginative sequel that somewhat successfully balances action and comedy.

The third and last movie of this series follows the same formula as the last one, there are no surprises, in fact it's worse than the second one. I did not like this movie, and I don't recommend it.

The weakest in the series by quite a way. The first 2 were very good and I thought the second film was the best, just a bit slicker than the other two. It's a real shame that the Taggert character is not in this one. It starts with plenty of action but things get a bit silly and camp at the wonderworld theme park. Good
