Did you know

• A very rare workprint of the movie has circulated among fans. Although most copies are poor quality, it has 30 to 40 minutes of footage not available in any other version. It also has all of the X-rated material removed from the final release.

• Brian Thompson had to buy his own ticket to see the film himself personally because he was not invited to the film's premiere by the producers and Warner Bros., which still mystifies him to this day.

• When Sylvester Stallone was signed to play the titular lead in Beverly Hills Cop (1984), he decided to rewrite the script almost completely, removing nearly all the comedic aspects and turning it into an action-packed blockbuster extravaganza that he felt was better suited to him. The studio read his revised script and rejected it. The proposed action scenes would have increased the movie's total budget far beyond what they planned. Stallone later channeled his ideas for it into an original script. When Stallone left Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy was brought in to play the lead role. Brigitte Nielsen(Ingrid) would play a villainess in Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) against Murphy's role.
