'Beverly Hills Goff': Lions QB takes pointers from Axel Foley in trailer for new movie

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff picks up a few pointers on navigating Los Angeles and Detroit from "Beverly Hills Cop's" Axel Foley in a new trailer for this summer's "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," released Thursday.

"When I first came to Detroit from Los Angeles, I was a nervous," Goff says in the ad. "It's a big change and I wanted to fit in as quickly as possible. I turned to someone who understood both LA and Detroit: I turned to Axel Foley."

The comical spot then features clips from "Axel F," with Goff taking cues from Eddie Murphy's character. When Foley greets someone by asking "who the f--- are you?" Goff takes note. "More cursing," he dutifully writes in his notepad.

See the full trailer here:

"Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" is the fourth film in the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise, and the first since 1994's "Beverly Hills Cop III." It was filmed in 2022 in Los Angeles, with some shooting taking place in Detroit.

The movie, starring Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Judge Reinhold, Bronson Pinchot and Kevin Bacon, will be released on Netflix on July 3.
