Continuity mistake: Just before Axel uncovers the printing press, the woman puts the map in the oky dokey suit, not his shirt. When he gets out of the suit, he does not pick up the map piece. In the vent he pulls the map out of his pocket, but how did the map piece get from the elephant suit to his pocket without him picking the piece up?

Continuity mistake: When Axel discovers the hidden room in Wonderworld, he decides to jump on the light and swing to the floor. When he lands you can notice some white powder located on his behind, but in the next shot when he leaves the room the white powder has vanished.

Continuity mistake: After Inspector Todd is shot, Axel chases after De Wald and fires at the truck. When the guy at the back of the truck is shooting at Axel, we see multiple bullet holes near the truck's back right window, but in his close-ups the bullet holes are gone. The window frame's scratched paint differs as well in the close-ups. We know it's the same window because we also see him in the shot of the truck's interior.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, while they are having a shoot out at the chop shop, the bad guys take the truck and rams a car out of the chop shop to make their escape. When they come out there's a car outside blocking their way. The truck goes at full speed into the right front side of the car. But when they cut to the next angel the truck hits the car on the rear left side and turns left to make their escape.

Gamabunta

Continuity mistake: When DeWald is finishing his speech and says thank you, the camera cuts and Axel and Billy are walking with Axel clapping. In the next shot they've suddenly stopped and Axel isn't clapping.

Suggested correction: When is it seen? The park already has a fox character, Floyd Fox. This entry is too vague without a scene reference, time code, or screenshot.

Deliberate mistake: Twice in this film Axel is shot at by multiple gunmen using automatic weapons at close range - and they all miss. In the Earthquake theme ride the bullets ricochet of the rails at Axel's feet. Why are they all aiming low? Why don't they raise their aim? In the park outside he hides behind a perfectly ordinary park bench and the bullets hit the wooden slats. Not one goes through the open spaces between them? I know bad guys can't shoot straight in the movies, but this is ridiculous ...

Serge: Now, one thing's very important. At the survival boutiqua, I feel that it's my personality, that's it's my philosophy that everything must conform to the three P's, OK? Which is, protection. Prestige. And pretty. I mean, why should you look ugly if you're just trying to survive?

More quotes from Beverly Hills Cop III

Trivia: The film was originally meant to take place in England, with several co-stars such as Sean Connery or John Cleese being suggested for Axel's new partner. However, this idea was dropped since it was deemed too similar to the movie "Black Rain," about an American cop who goes to Japan. "Die Hard" writer Steven E. De Souza was then hired, based on an idea he had that was pitched as "'Die Hard' in an amusement park." This became the basis for the script.
