Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F soundtrack – All the songs in Netflix sequel
Several songs from the original – including the iconic theme tune – feature in the new film.
In addition to giving us one of Eddie Murphy's most iconic film characters, the original Beverly Hills Cop film is also responsible for introducing one of the most recognisable – and catchiest – film themes ever written.
The synth-heavy instrumental track Axel F, composed by German musician Harold Faltermeyer, became an instant hit upon the film's release and even went on to enjoy something of a second life when it was famously remixed by Crazy Frog back in 2005.
Given its iconic status – and indeed the title of the film – it's no surprise to find that the tune once again features prominently in new sequel Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, worked into a new original score penned by prolific film composer Lorne Balfe.
And that's not the only familiar tune which makes it into the new film, with songs such as Glenn Frey's The Heat Is On, Bob Seger's Shakedown and The Pointer Sisters's Neutron Dance all heard on the soundtrack having previously featured in earlier films in the franchise.
Meanwhile, there are also tracks from Billy Idol, Mary J Blige and Lil Nas X – you can find the full Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F soundtrack below.
