This movie holds up. It's a stone cold classic. That said, there are two things that really jump out at me this time around:

First off, Axel had a short window of time off and chose that time to drive that junker of his across the country. That's a two day drive! Now there is an idea for a prequel. Axel's two day cross country road trip.

Secondly...maybe espresso and the idea of what "coffee beans" are was a new concept at the time but the whole "lets disguise drugs in the coffee" thing had to be explained THREE TIMES. This is what makes him a brilliant detective? Was coffee that new of a novelty in 1984 that audiences needed it spelled out so many times?

Anyway, still love this movie. Still perfect.

@kurtmoney >First off, Axel had a short window of time off and chose that time to drive that junker of his across the country. That's a two day drive! Now there is an idea for a prequel. Axel's two day cross country road trip. You're mistaking the "three days" that Inspector Todd gave Axel in the sequel. >Secondly...maybe espresso and the idea of what "coffee beans" are was a new concept at the time but the whole "lets disguise drugs in the coffee" thing had to be explained THREE TIMES. It was the mid-80s. Audiences hadn't been binging The Wire or Breaking Bad to be "informed" enough of cop/dealer talk enough to know those little secrets; also, it's only **once** in the movie when someone explains why coffee is used to hide drugs:
