One of Eddie Murphy’s Best Movies Finally Returns to Free Streaming (But Only One Sequel Is There)

by

Eddie Murphy is known for a string of successful movies, and now one of his most popular films is available to stream again. He first became famous as a comedian on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s and has been making audiences laugh in films like The Nutty Professor, Trading Places, and Dolemite Is My Name ever since. While fans are looking forward to hearing him reprise his role as Donkey in the upcoming Shrek 5, they can currently enjoy his best movie on a streaming service – though there’s a small catch.

Fans of Eddie Murphy can now watch both *Beverly Hills Cop* and *Beverly Hills Cop II* on Tubi, along with *Coming to America* and *Daddy Day Care*. These movies became available on the free streaming service on September 1st. Murphy famously played the quick-witted Detroit detective Axel Foley, a role that led to several sequels. While the first two films are on Tubi, *Beverly Hills Cop 3* is available to rent or purchase, and the newest installment, *Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F*, is a Netflix exclusive.

Why You Should Watch Beverly Hills Cop

Just two years after his first movie, *48 Hrs.*, *Beverly Hills Cop* turned Eddie Murphy into a major movie star and launched his international career. The film was the top-grossing movie in the U.S. that year, earning $320 million worldwide, and introduced audiences to the unforgettable character of Axel Foley. Audiences loved Axel’s rebellious nature and the humor that came from putting him in unfamiliar situations. Murphy’s performance is brilliant, filled with sharp comedic timing, witty dialogue, and plenty of memorable moments.

Beyond showcasing Eddie Murphy’s incredible comedic talent, *Beverly Hills Cop* is simply a really enjoyable movie. Axel Foley’s hilarious behavior is endlessly entertaining, and the film is packed with exciting car chases and stunts. It perfectly captures the feel of the 1980s, complete with a fantastic soundtrack featuring songs like “The Heat Is On” and “Stir It Up.” Few films have managed to blend 80s nostalgia and comedy as effectively as the original *Beverly Hills Cop*. While the sequels didn’t quite live up to the first movie, they’re still funny and continue to highlight Murphy’s comedic skills.

Other Comedy Movies Now on Tubi

In September 2025, Tubi, Fox’s free streaming service, significantly expanded its comedy selection. Viewers can now enjoy popular comedies like *Clueless*, *Fighting With My Family*, the 2004 version of *Mean Girls*, *She’s The Man*, *The Mask*, *The Truman Show*, and *The Waterboy*.

If you’re looking for some seriously funny movies, you *have* to check out what’s coming to Tubi in October 2025! They’ve already announced everything, and I’m so excited! On October 1st, they’re adding a bunch of my favorites like *Big Trouble In Little China*, *Borat Subsequent Moviefilm*, *Delivery Man*, *Idiocracy*, the original *Joe Dirt* from 2001, *Little Nicky*, and *Robin Hood: Men In Tights*. Get ready to laugh!
