Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was originally scripted as a 'Cop and a Half' style vehicle for a kid sidekick before Murphy rejected it.
The Wonder World setting was a blatant Universal Studios promotional tie-in, shot partially at their actual park—Axel Foley basically became a theme park mascot for a movie that killed his franchise for 30 years.
