There's a tiny piece of physical comedy that has a forever place in my heart, and it's the bit in Beverly Hills Cop 2 when John Ashton slips and takes a tumble into the pool where Axel is quite clearly illegally squatting.
It's not because of Ashton (or his stuntman), as delightful as his pratfall is, it's the reaction of Judge Reinhold as his partner Billy, so fucking delighted by the turn of events that he does a spontaneous and dorky little twirl.
You can see it two minutes into the video above. Reinhold is a quiet legend of modern film, and this piece of absolute movie magic is as good as it gets.
