Can someone explain why Beverly Hills Cop 2 has a woke warning on TV?

... Especially when it's edited for television?

Cause Eddie is a cop? Cause it shows a black dude fiends with white dudes? Cause inspector Todd was a real life, extremely corrupt Detroit city councilman. Cause it shows cops chasing bad guys who break into and rob retail stores? Cause they go to the Playboy mansion???

Beverly Hills Cop is one of the most universally loved and admired franchises of the 80s. How acna anyone be remotely offended by it?

Probably because Eddie laughs at two gay guys in matching leather outfits.


We must protect the children from such hatred!!!

It also shows cops getting shot... So I figured it would have media blast saying 'you must watch this'

Because the cops aren't portrayed negatively.

Wasn't that in the first one?

Warnings now are ridiculous. If you have a character who stiffs a panhandler, soon, "warning, graphic non-altruism."

I miss the days growing up when you got into a movie just on the possibilities.."warning adult content."

Was it 1 or 2 where he acts like the flamer, talking about Herpes Simplex 10, to get past the maître d' and talk to the guy in the country club?

Uh, it's 2020. There are people out there who's actual job is to find things to be offended about and rile up the Twitter outrage brigade over it.

Because the Left saw "1984" as a blueprint instead of a warning .

I haven't watched either movie in well over 30 years, but I always thought that Eddie was laughing at himself by having the guys wearing the same ridiculous leather outfits like he did in his stand-up Delirious.

Bc you're a racist and not woke enough to understand. Now go find a minority, beg for forgiveness and give them some reparation money.
