- Jerry Bruckheimer hasn't even seen "Beverly Hills Cop III," says director Mark Molloy.
- Molloy, the director of Netflix's "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," told BI he focused on paying tribute to the first two movies.
- "I love the first two films, and I've grabbed onto them with both hands with a lot of love," Molloy said.
When director Mark Molloy signed on to direct "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," the fourth movie in the beloved action comedy franchise starring Eddie Murphy, he had to admit something to the franchise's producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
"I said to him, 'Jerry, I've never seen the third one,'" Molloy recalled to Business Insider, referring to 1994's "Beverly Hills Cop III." "Jerry told me, 'You don't need to watch that one. I didn't make the third one. I've never watched it.'"
