Star ratings by Chuck Vinch. Eddie Murphy encounters Theresa Randle at the wonder world amusement Park in Beverly Hills cop Iii. Paramount Chuck Vinch staff writer on mov iks Beverly Hills cop 111 rated r a Quot Kaaa must �09 aaa Worth your time. A a passable entertainment. A coming soon to a Viteo outlet near you and you can Wall tired. That word repeatedly comes to mind while watching Eddie Murphy one of the most prodigious comic talents of his time squander his gifts in what has to rank among the most unimaginative sequels to come along in this decade. If anyone Ever needed conclusive evidence that Long streams of automatic weapons fire Are no substitute for a real plot this is it. The film is another step Down for Murphy whose once Stephn career is in grave danger of going the Way of his fellow saturday night live alumnus Chevy Chase. Like in the dumpster. Speaking of squandering gifts what happened to writer Steven de Souza and director John Landis their resumes Are studded with such hits As 48 hours die hard animal House and trading places. To think that these three veterans could Combine to produce nothing better than this throwaway is to realize that the creative Well truly has run dry. The very fact that Murphy chose to fall Back on Detroit police detective Axel Foley is a sign of desperation. But his nonperformance Here is Likely to dry up whatever Good will he still has left with his fans. The uninspired opening sequence has Axel trying to bust an Auto chop shop. Its his first link with cold eyed killer Ellis Dewald Tim Carhart. The Trail leads to wonder world a Disney like California theme Park where Dewald Heads the amazingly Large and thuggish Security Force. This allows Axel to reunite with Mushy Billy Rosewood judge Reinhold now a police bureaucrat. How could someone with Murphy a comic flair find anything redeeming in this script he gets not a single memorable line and has Only one mildly interesting stunt scene when he or More precisely his double saves a couple of kids by hopping from car to car aboard a High flying ride that goes out of control. Everything about the production seems malnourished. Most of the amusement Park attractions Are laughably cheesy a sure sign that Paramount studios did not want to pump a lot of Money into what its executives suspected would be a Turkey. All the characters Are cardboard cutouts. Reinhold and the talented Hector Elizondo playing another local cop who helps Axel seem almost embarrassed. A love interest Theresa ran die for Axel never gets much beyond prop status. Carhart actually has to say the line a Wax that  but to be fair he should get credit for saying it without breaking into giggles. The film briefly comes to life when Bronson Pinchot appears As mop topped Serge a Man who never met a Vowel he  mangle he Calls Axel Quot ack Wcela. Having Given up his Art boutique Serge is now marketing High tech weaponry for upscale survivalists Pinchot is the films Lone Bright spot but he is on screen for less than five minutes. The comedy Channel Cable station recently aired a retrospective of Murphy a Early work from sol and his breakthrough films such As trading places. Its almost impossible to believe its the same Guy sleepwalking through this lame sequel. Such an awesome Talent. Such an awesome waste. Beverly Hills cop 111 gets one Star. Page 10 sunday june 5, 1994
