Netflix has released a new video for its upcoming movie Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, showing NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s lost audition tape for a role in the film.
The new video sees Shaq attempting to nail a few lines in an attempt to get a role in the film. He jokes that he’s improved a ton since his 1996 film Kazam, but still has some trouble getting the lines out. In the end, Shaq flashes a badge and then changes the movie’s logo to “Beverly Hills Cop: Shaqxel F.”
