Axel Foley=Bugs Bunny

Whenever I watched BHC, Axel Foley's attitude would remind me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it. But then it dawned on me, Axel non chalantly sashaying through situations making wise ass remarks or putting an act on reminds me of Bugs Bunny. Especially after he is arrested and in the back of the police car he is looking it over telling the cops how nice it is. Makes me wish he stuffed a carrot in the tail pipe instead of a banana.

The focus of real greed lies with unrestrained Government.

Wow. I can totally see that now. I may never watch this film the same way again!

I'm not sure if I should thank you or hate you for that!

My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.

I have thought this since the first time I saw this as a kid back in like 1988.

I hadn't thought of that before but I agree

Excellent comparison--both are tricksters, a classic archetype of mythology.

The Japanese poster of the movie alludes to this by having Eddie in the middle of the "That's All Folks!" symbol. Scroll down to see it: https://popcultmaster.com/2017/04/01/seminal-seminar/
