Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

Other mistake: When Abbott is talking to Axel for the first time, he is flipping through a book that has files and pictures on Axel. One of them is a picture from when he got arrested after he got thrown out of the window. It is made to look like it was a picture taken of him at the time of his arrest, but it is a direct screen grab from Beverly Hills Cop.

Character mistake: When Axel is being arrested by the female officers, he says he's been a cop for "thirty years, and black for longer than that." Axel has been a cop for at least 40 years; the first film took place in 1984.

Continuity mistake: When Axel introduces Serge, he places his hand next to his ear as if he were hard of hearing. From the opposite angle, his hand is lowered. As of then, the position of his hands is not continuous between shots.
