According to the Detroit News’s Adam Graham, the Red Wings make a cameo appearance in the new Beverly Hills Cop film Axel F, but only as b-roll footage and a little bit of “movie magic”:
Detroit Red Wings: The movie’s first big set piece is a robbery at Little Caesars Arena, during a Red Wings game. Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley is seen in the stands at the game and in a standoff inside the Red Wings locker room, but that was all movie magic: cameras were rolling when the Red Wings faced the Las Vegas Golden Knights at LCA on Dec. 3, 2022 — the Wings lost that game, 4-1 — but Murphy never stepped foot in Detroit for the shoot. And the locker room is a set, not the Wings’ real locker room.
Continued; I’d imagine that it was easier (and less smelly) to recreate the locker room, but it’s a bit of a bummer that they didn’t use the Wings’ real locker room, too.
