Who robs a strip club?
That scene seemed very contrived.
sharePeople pay money to strippers so everyone there should have cash right? Seems logical to me.
"But it happened at sea! See? C for Catwoman!!"

He would have made out with as many dollar bills as he could carry. haha
shareIt was Philip, LOL!!!! He changed, Man! Philip went from robbing 7-11s to strip clubs, LOL!!!!!!!
shareJust watched this and thought the same thing.
Instead of robbing a placesw ith the least amount of witnesses and least chance of getting shot themselves - they choose a packed place where OTHER bad guys hang out with guns.
What other bad guys with guns?
And I don't think they were concerned with witnesses as they didn't even bother to cover their faces.
Prof. Farnsworth: Oh. A lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm-My-Own-Grandpa!
Banks have plenty of people, security cameras, security guards, and alarms that connect directly to the police. All convenience stores have guns behind the counter and security cameras. But people still rob them because that's where money is. I live in California and I heard of a strip club robbery recently in Anaheim.
George Carlin: It's all bullsh-t and it's bad for ya.
It was somewhat contrived (like the whole movie) but funny. It gave Eddie the chance to do another Axel monologue, when toadying up to and getting in the face of the bad guy.
shareI read in the trivia that the script had to go through a rewrite when the Axel character was to be played by Arnold Swartz-whatever. A very big difference in people.
Read the goofs and trivia. It is really entertaining all on it's own.
Actually it was to be played by Sylvester Stallone.I believe his character name was to be Axel Cobretti.They went with Murphy because they wanted to make it funny too,so exit Stallone,enter Murphy.He gets Beverly Hills Cop,Stallone goes and makes his version into Cobra.
shareStallone had too many re-writes attempting to make it a big, explosive action movie which the producers didn't want.
Also, Jenny Summers was Axel's love interest when Stallone was in. When he was out and Murphy was in, they weren't prepared to put an interracial relationship on screen, so they downgraded their relationship to "high school friends."

I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.
"they weren't prepared to put an interracial relationship on screen"
wow, and now apparently its mandatory (according to some far right voices)
As plausible as most of the movie is, given there is always a bunch of cash there.

I think that poster meant that strip clubs usually entices shady characters as it's clientele.
Although this place appears more upscale- not like torchys on 48 hours.
Prolly a decent cover charge, drinks not cheap-prolly a VIP room w/some high rollers, etc
Yeah I can see it happening, but in real life, an owner prolly has firepower in the back
Maybe the owner and the guests won't even call the police. I could imagine the owner isn't exactly looking forward to having the police in the house and the guests don't want their wifes to know they were in a strip club.
