Serge is an art gallery salesman working for Victor Maitland, before he opened his own store: "Serge's Survival Boutique".
Biography[]
Beverly Hills Cop[]
Serge is a foreign (likely French) employee of the art gallery owned by Victor Maitland and run by Jenny Summers. He sells paintings and offers people drinks, he is particularly proud of his espresso with a lemon twist. He's the first person Axel encounters at the art gallery before Jenny spots him. He is seen again when Foley returns with Rosewood, who unlike Axel takes him up on his offer for an espresso with a lemon twist.
Beverly Hills Cop III[]
Axel is in Beverly Hills again and finds Serge's pop-up boutique, reuniting with Serge for the first time in a decade. Serge instantly remembers Axel, whose name he still can't pronounce, though Axel takes a minute before remembering Serge. Rosewood doesn't remember him either until Serge reminds him of the espresso with a lemon twist he made Rosewood. It was the last one Serge ever made because espresso dyes teeth. Since Axel's bust of Victor Maitland, the art gallery went bankrupt. Serge's new business, Serge's Survival Boutique, is selling weapons and protective devices and products for survival. His weapons conform to the three P's -protection, prestige and pretty. He gives Axel one of his weapons, a Stunner, because he worries for his friend. Serge shows off the Annihilator 2000 as his prized weapon, which he's sold dozens of to Jackie Stallone and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Axel returns to the boutique looking for weapons he can use to take down Ellis DeWald and the Wonder World goons. Serge is hesitant to give Axel the floor model of the Annihilator 2000 because it's germy, but gives in after a moment. Axel uses the Stunner to escape DeWald and his men than the Annihilator to take out DeWald's men.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F[]
Axel enlists his friend Serge's help to gain access to the house through a nearby showing.
Trivia[]
- Actor Bronson Pinchot almost didn't do Beverly Hills Cop, because his girlfriend had tickets to go to Florence, and they kept pushing the date back of when they were going to shoot it. Bronson had to say to the filmmakers, "If you don't shoot it before next Wednesday, I'm not doing it. We've got tickets to Florence, and I'm not not going to Florence." He said that after the film came out, he became a star, when before that, he was a nobody. He also notes that he was only on set for a day or two and had only a couple minutes of screen time. While he did not appear in Beverly Hills Cop II, Serge became such a fan favorite as he was given a major role in Beverly Hills Cop III.
