Fast-talking, quick-thinking Detroit street cop Axel Foley has bent more than a few rules and regs in his time, but when his best friend is murdered, he heads to sunny Beverly Hills to work the case like only he can.

This movie holds up. It's a stone cold classic. That said, there are two things that really jump out at me this time around:
First off, Axel had a short window of time off and chose that time to drive that junker of his across the country. That's a two day drive! Now there is an idea for a prequel. Axel's two day cross country road trip.
Secondly...maybe espresso and the idea of what "coffee beans" are was a new concept at the time but the whole "lets disguise drugs in the coffee" thing had to be explained THREE TIMES. This is what makes him a brilliant detective? Was coffee that new of a novelty in 1984 that audiences needed it spelled out so many times?
Anyway, still love this movie. Still perfect.
