00:00The Eddie Murphy-fronted Beverly Hills Cop is an icon of AE Cinema, but if Sylvester
00:05Stallone had had his way, we would have gotten one hell of a different Lemon Twist.
00:09Before Murphy was attached to Beverly Hills Cop, the role of Axel Foley's was basically
00:14Stallone's.
00:15However, he wanted to rewrite the script.
00:17Stallone's draft of the film changed Foley's name to Axel Cabretti, toned down the humour
00:22massively, ramped up the action and eventually led to him to partner project two weeks prior
00:28to when filming was set to commence.
00:30As those familiar with the Cabretti name will have guessed, many of the ideas in Stallone's
00:35Beverly Hills Cop rewrite went on to feature in Cobra.
00:38Now Cobra is a wildly entertaining and somewhat deranged time, a complete vehicle for ego
00:44that has a bit where Sly eats pizza with some scissors, but it's not what Beverly Hills
00:48Cop should have been or eventually was.
00:51And hey, this way we ended up getting two 80s bangers, so banana in the tailpipe avoided
00:56as far as I'm concerned.
