* ThrowItIn: There are a ''spectacular'' number of ad-libs in this movie in general, most of them from Murphy. One example of this is a moment where Maitland has Axel and Jenny cornered and is deciding what to do with them when he stop in his tracks and makes a face. In reality, Creator/StevenBerkoff was reacting to something Creator/EddieMurphy ad-libbed but was removed in editing. They kept in his reaction because it made Maitland seem even more sinister and unhinged.

* ExecutiveMeddling: When the script was in development the character of Jenny was supposed to be the LoveInterest. After Creator/EddieMurphy was finally cast in the part, Paramount [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt got nervous]] and decided to make Jenny Axel's platonic childhood friend.

* DeletedScene:
** The 2020 Blu-Ray release of the film includes two previously-unreleased scenes -- Axel questioning a "Mr. Carbonowski" in a steak restaurant about Mikey's death (who assures him he had nothing to do with the matter, and unintentionally gives Axel the motivation to travel to L.A.), and a sequence of Axel packing up some belongings in preparation for the trip. Both these scenes were evidently cut from the film for pacing and redundancy reasons. Part of the scene involving Carbonowski (played by Ron Karabatsos) made it to the theatrical trailer, however.
** Behind the scenes stills showed Axel taking part in some kind of melee fight with Maitland, which never occurs in the finished film.

* {{Corpsing}}: Eddie Murphy apparently caused plenty of this, specially because most dialogue was improvised. During the "Super Cops" scene, John Ashton is doing sort of a FacePalm to hide his laughter (with a self-aware little eyebrow raise that pleads, "stop shooting, I'm going to blow the take"); Creator/JudgeReinhold, in turn, was pinching his thighs through his pants pockets.
