I did not expect this from Beverly Hills Cop 2 (hexbear.net)

I was watching this for a project and I noticed how much better the cinematography was and how much more it was stylized than BHC. It seems like a weird photography choice for the sequel of an action comedy movie. Then I found out the director was Tony Scott and it made much more sense. This isn't even all of the great shots in this movie. It has no business being this good. Don't worry though they fixed the good cinematography problem for Beverly Hills Cop 3. In fact they fixed a lot of stuff with that one.

Tony Scott was an all-timer. I've always maintained that he was a better filmmaker than Ridley.

He was willing to get weird with his films. Domino and Man on Fire have a lot of experimenting with their cinematography and editing.

Domino is one of my favorite films. Maybe I give it extra love because it is so underrated, but what a fun film with a very stylized look.

hey patrick h willems, make a 50minute video about sleazy LA police stations in 90's action movies please (maybe he already made one) and make it snappy, i don't want to watch 20 minutes of lore about employees that i don't get because i didn't watch any other videos in order

I didn't realize Ennis house was in this movie too, the room with cool tiles in the shooting range picture. The same location that was Deckard's apartment in Bladerunnner, Mullholland drive and Twin peaks, and bunch of other movies.
