Since it's so difficult in most situation to tell is grain is real or imagined, I'll give Paramount the benefit of the doubt here, as it looks proper.
Originally a project for Sylvester Stallone, Beverly Hills Cop, with replacement Eddie Murphy, turned out to be a huge hit.
Three years later, the team, now with Tony Scott replacing Martin Brest, created Beverly Hills Cop II, and also garnered a huge box-office.
Problem being, that while the original was a fun film, the sequel is a shadow of it. To me, it never worked.
Fans of Mr. Murphy will be presumably purchasing this for him, and not the film's overall reputation.
As a 4k UHD release, it generally looks terrific, with nary a problem in sight. The production footage has what appears to be a light sheen of actual film grain - but who knows?
Color and densities also work nicely for a terrific presentation. Crisp and clean audio courtesy of DTS-HD MA. The hi-con titles jump off the screen in knife-edged 4k resolution, while the actual film blends nicely behind them.
Can BH Cop 3 be far behind in 4k, especially with BH Cop 4 in preparation?
Image – 5 (Dolby Vision)
Audio – 5 (DTS-HD MA 5.1)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors - Yes
Upgrade from Blu-ray - Why not
Makes use of and works well in 4k - 3.75
