According to the film's synopsis, Murphy teams up with a 'new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.'

The film's official trailer, released on Thursday, begins with Murphy's character stealing a helicopter from the Los Angeles Police Department.

'I didn't realize you couldn't really fly a helicopter,' Murphy told the man sitting next to him in the cockpit. 'Otherwise, I'd come up with a different idea.'

He friend yelled back: 'I told you it was a bad idea!'

The pair's helicopter proceeds to get shot at, by cops, and they can be heard screaming as they hurled toward to ground from the sky.

Murphy is, then, handcuffed and put in the back of a cop car.

'This is very embarrassing. Part of me would rather get locked up then get put in this little Fisher-Price looking squad car,' he jokes to the arresting officer.

After his arrest, he calls his daughter, Jane, from jail, but she ends up hanging up on him.

'You sure y'all paying y'all's bills? 'Cause this phone don't work,' he tells an officer while trying to process what happens.

Later, he tells a cop that this isn't his 'first time in Beverly Hills.'

'Yeah, I saw that,' the officer notes while scrolling through a file with information on his past arrests in the city in 1984, 1987 and 1994.

During the preview, Murphy, who returned to Beverly Hills after his daughter was threatened, is told he's 'p**sing off a lot of people' off.

He replies: 'That means we're getting close.'

Other suspenseful moments in the trailer include flashes of a car chase and multiple shootouts.

Last year, Murphy candidly confessed that his age made it difficult for him to shoot some of the more physically demanding scenes in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.

'It was a hard one. I did Axel Foley when I was in my 20s. I am not in my 20s anymore,' he told People. 'It was an action movie. So it was a rough one. But we got through it.'

The father-of-10 said the film was 'a really physical movie' and said he prefers sitting on the couch to 'jumping over and shooting and running,' at this stage of life.

'At the end of the movie, I had a knee brace and my back is messed up. But the movie is gonna be special,' he told the mused.

The original movie came out in 1984, when Murphy was just 23, and follows a rebellious cop named Axel.

He secretly sets out on a mission to figure out who murdered his childhood friend, despite his boss telling him he wasn't allowed to pursue the investigation.

The action comedy was immensely successful and marked Murphy's first solo leading role in a film.

It raked in $234 million at the US box office, making it the highest-grossing film of that year, and inspiring two (soon to be three) more flicks.

It helped transform Eddie, a then-budding star, who was more known for his comedy sketches on Saturday Night Live than his acting, into a major Hollywood figure.
