“Back in 1984, things were looking up, at least in my little corner of the world. This was the time when my decade-long dance with “The Beautiful Game” would begin and when I also mastered some totally rad tricks on my Raleigh BMX. 1984 was when I became lifelong friends with Ren McCormack, Officers Jones, Mahoney and Tackleberry, Daniel LaRusso, Professors Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler, and later, the one and only, Axel Foley.”

An immediate blockbuster, “Beverly Hills Cop” received positive reviews and earned $234 million at the North American domestic box office, making it the highest-grossing film released in the U.S. in 1984. Adjusted for inflation, it is the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time at the U.S. box office, with a total box office gross of $730,714,743 in 2024.

Beverly Hills Cop was a cultural phenomenon and was the perfect capstone to arguably one of the greatest years in entertainment, 1984. At the time, the film provided us sixth-graders with endless quotes and memorable scenes to re-enact. To this day, Beverly Hills Cop remains one of my all-time favorite movies; iconic.
Forty years ago, we were blessed with two groundbreaking soundtracks that included unforgettable instrumentals; the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop and “Miami Vice: Music From the Television Series”, both of which also included hit songs from the late Glenn Frey. “Beverly Hills Cop: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” hit number one on the Billboard 200 album chart on June 22, 1985 and later won a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media in 1986. The soundtrack also featured awesome songs from the legendary Patti LaBelle and The Pointer Sisters.
