Eddie Murphy is back in business, reprising his role as Axel Foley in the "Beverly Hills Cop" series.
The famous 1984 film, which starred Murphy as a Detroit-based cop who infiltrated Beverly Hills to solve his friend's murder, has seen two sequels in 1987 and 1994.
Blink, and you might be transported back to the 80's, as Murphy was just photographed on the "BHC" set wearing a nearly identical Detroit Lions letterman jacket - the signature look of his character.

"Beverly Hills Cop" is not the only project that has Murphy revisiting an old character. Just last year, a highly anticipated follow-up to "Coming to America" was released, where Murphy jumped back into his roles as Prince Akeem and Randy Watson.
