The first ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ film was released in 1984, with the third - and supposedly final - movie coming out in 1994.
The three films collectively grossed $712.9 million.

Victoria Beckham famously dubbed Eddie “Beverly Hills c**k” after his treatment of her former Spice Girls bandmate Mel B.
The actor denied he was the father of Mel’s baby daughter, Angel Iris, though DNA tests later proved he was.
