Eddie Murphy is back in “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” … and will redeem the franchise after the third film bombed with critics and fans — so he says Bronson Pinchot.
The actor — who has played flamboyant fan favorite Serge since the 1984 original — tells TMZ that “Axel F” has the secret ingredient that made the first two films such ’80s box office hits…i.e. , the entire original cast is back in a story that is a classic buddy cop story.

BP uses the metaphor of his beloved bird flying into a wall to describe the failure of ‘BHC3’ – but the bird survived and he says the series is recovering in the same way.
FYI… Eddie also recently criticized the third film, saying Seth Meyers “a big villain” was missing, which shouldn’t be a problem this time – because Kevin Bacon‘s playing the big bad of the new movie… a plot twist that EM spoiled in “Late Night”… Oops.

BP says playing Serge again was a breeze… adding that fans have been asking him to play the character on Cameo… so he had no problem returning to the role.
As for getting back together with the old gang – which besides EM includes Judge Reinhold, John Ashton It is Paul Reiser — check out the clip. It looks like the team is still as united as ever.
