I’ve never been in a cell that had a phone in it

December 1, 1984
The Eddie Murphy mega-hit, Beverly Hills Cop, co-starring, Judge Reinhold, and John Ashton, premiered in Los Angeles on this date.

Eddie Murphy became very tired while filming the police station sequences. The crew offered him coffee, but he refused to drink it because he refuses to take drugs of any kind. Eventually he relented and took small sips of coffee to stay awake. He became very energized and ad-libbed the “super-cops” monologue.
