Continuity mistake: It is obvious that Carla shoots Cain in the head, but when Foley looks down at him, there is no bullet hole or blood on his head, but there is blood on his abdomen like he was shot there. (01:18:00 - 01:19:00)

Continuity mistake: When the trio is driving to the racetrack, there's a shot of Axel in the backseat when he was in the front seat. This is the same shot from when they were driving to the City Deposit, with Axel in the backseat, after Axel asks if the car can go any faster.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning when Bogomil is talking to Axel on the phone, he's holding the newspaper clipping with his index and middle fingers extended. When the shot changes, his fingers are tucked behind his thumb.

Video

Continuity mistake: After getting kicked out of the Playboy mansion, Axel has Dent's wallet, that he supposedly picked while he was in there. In the scene with Dent, and later Hef, after he has touched Dent, you see his hands and there is no wallet there or do you see Axel put his hands inside his coat to hide the wallet. He never picks it, so how did he get the wallet?

Inspector Todd: Don't think, Axel! It makes my dick itch!

More quotes from Beverly Hills Cop II

Trivia: In the scene where Foley first visits Rosewood's apartment, he at some point pauses and looks at a poster of Sylvester Stallone from the movie "Cobra" (1986). Stallone was originally supposed to star in Beverly Hills Cop (the first one) as Axel Foley (or his name was going to be Axel "The Cobra" Cobretti). The script was changed for Eddie Murphy, removing a large amount of the action sequences from the movie. Many of those sequences were later used in "Cobra." The shot of Foley looking at the poster is a reference to this fact.
