* SoundtrackDissonance: The Wonder World theme continuously plays in the background as Axel is in a firefight with [=DeWald's=] mooks, as well as his attempts to use the Annihilator 2000. One of the weapon's add-ons is a radio, which blares "Luv 4 Dem Gangsta'z" by Music/EazyE and shuts off when the mooks open fire on him. Then "North Dakota, South Dakota" by Creator/JerryLewis plays from the radio, and Axel finally gets the hang of the weapon and kills the mooks. Then back to the Wonder World theme.

This time, Axel (Creator/EddieMurphy) is attempting to take down a car theft ring when the thieves well-armed clients shoot their way out, killing Inspector Todd (Gil Hill). To avenge his boss, Axel follows a lead to a Los Angeles theme park which is the front for a massive counterfeiting operation. Accused of the shooting of the park's owner, he enlists the help of Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and his new partner, Jon Flint (Creator/HectorElizondo), to prove his innocence and get revenge on the ringleader.

Added Improbable Aiming Skills for Flint's SMG gunslingery
Added DiffLines:
* ImprobableAimingSkills: After being shot at from a theme park sky-gondola ride, Flint returns fire with an MP 5K, stitching a perfect line up the door (which is at most two feet wide) and bulls-eyeing the gunman with most if not all of his shots. Landing over a dozen fully-automatic shots on target at a range of at least 100ft with a lightweight SMG that has a 4.5 inch barrel really stretches the word "improbable."
