Eddie Murphy is back as foul-mouthed Detroit-made detective Axel Foley, 30 years after he last played him, in the first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming Beverly Hills Cop sequel.

“I almost admire you,” Kevin Bacon’s character opens with in the new promo, which you can watch above. “Still on these treats; running and gunning. I’m just amazed it doesn’t get to you.”

“I’m gonna be fine,” Foley reassures Paul Reiser’s Jeffrey in a later scene. “They love me in Beverly Hills.”

Released in 1984, the original film saw Foley drawn into the crime world of the titular Los Angeles neighborhood when his close friend Mikey Tandino is murdered. It went on to spawn two sequels: Beverly Hills Cop 2 and Beverly Hills Cop 3, in 1987 and 1994 respectively.
