Story Synopsis:
Beverly Hills Cop II is director Tony Scott’s comedy sequel with Murphy’s Axel Foley on another undercover investigation back in Southern California against a gang of drug smugglers.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.85:1 picture has a warm, natural look with excellent sharpness, contrast and shadow detail. Fleshtones are slightly unnatural and appear to have an orange tint. Some slight artifacts and subdued grain are evident.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The stereo soundtrack has a popular music score by Harold Faltermeyer that sets the tone for the action sequences and provide a minimal surround ambience on either soundtrack. Otherwise directional sound effects are minimal and the surrounds barely perceptual in what is essentially a monaural mix punctuated with a stereophonic music score.
