Vintage program for the 1994 film. Bi-fold, with a two color front panel and full credits in the interior spread. The third film in the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise, preceded by "Beverly Hills Cop II" (1987), directed by Tony Scott, and followed by "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" (2024), directed by Mark Molloy. Eddie Murphy reprises his role as Detroit detective Axel Foley, who returns to Beverly Hills and again teams up with Judge Reinhold, as detective Billy Rosewood, to track down the murderers of his boss, leading to an amusement park, "Wonder World," which may be the center of a counterfeit money ring.
