Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic comedy classic Beverly Hills Cop at the 22nd New Hampshire Film Festival’s closing night! This beloved film follows the adventures of street-smart Detroit cop Axel Foley, played by Eddie Murphy, as he navigates the glitz and glam of Beverly Hills while solving a murder. A critical and commercial success, Beverly Hills Cop became a cultural touchstone, blending action and humor in a way that has resonated for decades. As a special treat, Judge Reinhold, who starred as Detective Billy Rosewood in the franchise, will be in attendance for an evening of moderated discussion and audience Q&A before the screening.
Judge Reinhold has been in over seventy-five motion picture and television roles and enjoys a 35-year relationship with an international audience of all ages. His films include Stripes, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ruthless People, and Christmas franchise, The Santa Clause 1, 2, 3. Beverly Hill Cops, 1, 2, and 3 play continually internationally, making Judge a familiar presence worldwide. Fast Times and Beverly Hills Cop were recently voted by the American Film Institute as two of the “Top 100 American Comedies.”
