Gilbert Gottfried stated he and Eddie Murphy improvised their dialogue after Axel brings up Sidney Bernstein's parking violations.
Chris Rock makes an appearance as the valet at the Playboy Mansion who complains about Axel bringing in a cement truck. This is his first role on the big screen; Rock was featured in an HBO comedy special (which featured aspiring comedians e.g. Robert Townsend, Marsha Warfield) which was produced by Eddie Murphy and his childhood friend Clint Smith.
This is the first film Eddie Murphy wrote or co-wrote.
According to the DVD documentary, "Paramount" originally wanted to produce a TV series of "Beverly Hills Cop" after the success of the first film. However, Eddie Murphy did not want to go back to television, so a sequel was made instead.
The license plate 2GAT123 also appears in L.A. Story (1991), Go (1999), Pay It Forward (2000), Traffic (2000), Crazy/Beautiful (2001), Mulholland Drive (2001), S.W.A.T. (2003), Life (2007) and Two and a Half Men (2003). It is the California standard fictional license plate, analogous to a "555" telephone number.
"[Axel sees Rosewood with a huge pistol] Axel Foley: Yo, man! What's that for? Billy Rosewood: After the shootout at the club, I figured I needed more firepower. Axel Foley: Yo man, we gotta talk, seriously. Who do you think you are, Clint Eastwood? Dirty Rosewood?"
"Axel Foley: Are you driving with your eyes open? Or are you, like, using "the force"?"
