Midnight Run's John Ashton Reveals How Telling Robert De Niro Go F*ck Yourself Got Him the Role
Ойын-сауық
A crucial element for successful franchises is bringing back beloved characters. It's especially important when it's released 30 years after the previous film. Such is the case with Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which obviously wouldn't exist without Eddie Murphy's eponymous detective, but it also needs its core cops. Despite the many failed attempts over the years to get this series back on its feet, John Ashton and Judge Reinhold, who play John Taggart and Billy Rosewood, respectively, were "all in," for this reunion. But that wasn't always the case.
Foley is back in action in the fourth Beverly Hills Cop. This time, Axel's daughter, Jane (Taylour Paige), is threatened, and there's no way this detective is letting that slide. Together, they seek out the help of Beverly Hills' Detective Abbott (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his old friends Taggart and Rosewood, and wreak havoc on the Sunshine State once again when they uncover a conspiracy. The movie also brings back Paul Reiser as Jeffrey and Bronson Pinchot's Serge and introduces Kevin Bacon as Captain Grant.
In this interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Ashton and Reinhold discover they have more in common than the Beverly Hills Cop franchise - we dig into their Wonder Woman roles and the pipeline from Wonder Woman to the Starsky & Hutch spin-off that never was, as well as Midnight Run, a movie they both auditioned for. Ashton talks about his hilarious and successful audition with Robert De Niro, and they both reveal why they decided to return to the series after all these years.

Watching these two brings back memories of the ‘80’s the greatest decade ever. When things were simple. My late dad loved Eddie Murphy. When we had video stores that had film posters in the window. The Beverley Hills Cop poster with Eddie Murphy on the red Mercedes was so cool.😎
Love the chat about Midnight Run! One of the greatest films ever!

Why don't you quit ? It'd be cheaper for both of us.
What a treat to see these two back again
Midnight Run is the funniest movie 🎥 of all time in my opinion. It’s in my top ten films of all time. Joe Pantiliano, Yaphet Kotto, Denis Farina, Robert De Niro, John Ashton and Charles Grodin RIP. What a cast.
So great to see both these guys again. Both were in so many iconic movies growing up. Midnight Run is such an overlooked gem from that era
They should've brought back the banana in the tailpipe gag...

@@Chicagoguy1984Eddie's right.
Judge Reinhold seems like such a good dude
Judge's ears! That's old age for ya.
Holy crap Judge Reinholdt’s ears are insane.
Should have kept talking about Midnight Run up until the last 10 seconds of the clip.
I’m surprised judge reinholds voice still sounds the same from the first Beverly Hills cop film.
That clip they show wasn't in the movie
Made no sense that the two guys were watching outside the hospital watching Axel at the end
The Producers of this show grabbed the interviewer as he was returning from Ralph's market. You'll note the produce bag of mangosteens and kiwis by his right foot
Wow they never showed that scene in the final version of the film with I haven't pissed off anybody.

A lot of hype for a subpar sequel. Beverly Hills Cop 4 is a flop.

The movie was fine… it’s not groundbreaking or anything but it did exactly what it was supposed to do as far as nostalgia
Horrible movie
