REAL LIFE FOOTAGE OF CIGARETTE TRUCK POLICE CHASE IN LOS ANGELES IMMORTALISED IN BEVERLEY HILLS COP

I just love car chase scenes all round, i think this is about
the third one i have put on Lost Treasures. Only diffrence
with this one is that a runaway truck full of cigarettes is
the star of the show instead of a car and Axel Foley, who
has a famous bro named Eddie Murphy, got more than
he bargained for after being caught on the back of the
truck after a deal turned sour and LA coppers chased
the truck through the streets of the city way back in
1984. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a scene
out of a movie, Axel Foley is not make believe, it is
real life footage of a man by the name of Axel Foley
who bears a very strong resemblance in looks to his
famous brother Eddie being involved in a cigarette
deal gone very wrong, but after the footage of it
which was captured on a private cop chaser video
went viral, the producers involved with the pro-
duction of Beverley Hills Cop, which was being
filmed at exactly the same time, decided very
quickly to incorporate this real time footage
into the movie plot & at the same time they
also opted to change the name of Murphy`s
character in the movie to his own brothers
identity in real life. Axel Foley isn't real-
ly a movie character, he is a real person
just like Eddie Murphy is. Axel Foley is
a living real person, to this very day no
one in Hollywood, including Murphy him-
self, has ever acknowledged the exist-
ance of this long forgotten bro. Axel
Foley was born Axel Murphy but then
changed his name because he didn't
want to sound too irish at around
the age of 20. This is the classic
live footage of that truck chase
which ended up being the intro
to Beverley Hills Cop. Reality
TV which ended up in one of
the best comedies ever made.
