Glad you guys enjoyed it. Next up 48 Hrs. Again with Eddie Murphy. as for Dan Ackroyd. He went on to do Ghostbusters. Thanks for the shout out!
Appreciate you watching!
1. The booking officer is Frank Oz. (Miss Piggy, various Muppets/Yoda)
2. Beeks/Paul Gleason also played Richard Vernon in "The Breakfast Club" and the idiot police captain in "Die Hard". 😇
3. Landis didn't want Jamie Lee Curtis because she had always been a "scream queen" and he didn't know if she had the chops for comedy.
4. When everyone pauses in the restaurant it's a play on the old "EF Hutton" commercial. "When EF Hutton speaks everybody listens".
5. One of the most VHS pauses in history. Jamie Lee Curtis.😍🥰😋
6. GOOF: Where did Louis get the gun AND all those drugs for only $50?🤑Even in 1983.
7. Don Ameche's strong religious convictions made him uncomfortable with swearing. This proved to be a problem for the scene at the end of the movie, where he had to shout out "Fuck him!" to a group of Wall Street executives. When he did act out the scene, it had to be done in one take, because Ameche refused to do a second one. He also had an issue with the N word.
8. There's an Easter egg in "Coming to America" with the Duke brothers. Eddie Murphy at his best.
Thanks for sharing and watching, William!
😂😂😂 Glad you guys like this movie! Awesome 👍🏾 reaction 😄
Yes! Thank you, Tee!
This was the first movie I seen that was made in philly, when I found out how tv worked and it’s all in Hollywood or NYC when my parents told me it was filmed in Center City and I saw Septa Busses and Acme supermarkets that was exciting + getting to see JLC rack was the topper even tho it was a few years before I could appreciate them the right way 😁😁
That’s pretty awesome. I lived in Chicago for a time and saw a few productions. The coolest was The Dark Knight. I saw Heath Ledger in person. Crazy.
@@BluntReactionsBB that’s one of my favorite movies, that be cool as shit to have seen him especially since he was gone soon after 🤦🏻♂️
The movie Silver linings playbook was filmed in my town Upper Darby ( also where Tina Fey went to HS and wrote mean girls about) but I watched them film the Scene where the book flys out the window that house is 2 streets behind my house + I saw Danny DeVito filming an episode of. It’s always sunny in Philadelphia in 69th street terminal where he was running, and jumped on a trolley 😂
Hey gentlemen I also recommend
Punch-Drunk Love, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 1&2, Hotel Transylvania 123&4, Hoodwinked, Coneheads, The Truman Show, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Moulin Rouge!, Bubble Boy, Big Fat Liar, Rat Race, Evolution, A Knight’s Tale, Corky Romano, My Favorite Martian, The Mask, La La Land, The Greatest Showman, The Bad Guys, Employee Of The Month, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Polar Express, Beverly Hills Cop trilogy
Thanks for watching, Roy! Punch-Drunk Love is so underrated. Great film!
That’s one of the weirdest lists I’ve ever seen. Great and terrible in the same list.
I hope you meant the Employee Of The Month starring Matt Dillon not the movie same name starring Dane Cook.
@@tempsitch5632 I do mean the one with Dane Cook
HOME OF THE CHIIEEEFFSSS
Damn straight.
Love,
Bryan
How reactions should be done.
You guys forgot to talk about the movie. :)
We evolved to telepathy.
You have to understand that negro was, at the time, the acceptable term. Then black then African American. I’m sure for you guys it hit like the other n word. But this one wasn’t an insult at the time, or even now. It’s just an out dated term.
Sure. And you could add “colored” to that list. But you have to also consider the intent. With the Dukes, the intent is malicious and shitty.
What? In the 60s… yeah, okay. Definitely *NOT* in the 80s.
@@BluntReactionsBB exactly! And I can tell you what, nobody used that antiquated term in the 80s unless it was malicious or unless they were woefully ignorant.
@@yesitislikethat For men their age in the 80’s, it was common because that’s what they were used to in their generation. There was no internet. People used to understand that it was generational and if an old person used an old term that was once acceptable, no one got upset. Because there was no malice behind it. Now, the TONE he used when he said the word, does make him racist. He said it very mockingly.

_“For men their age in the 80's, it was common because that's what they were used to in their generation.”_
Sure. It’s a given that someone born in the early 1900s would have grown up using different terminology than someone born decades beyond that time. The thing is, these men lived through *70-plus years of societal change.* What might have been commonplace in 1920, might be rare in 1950. Over 70 years, these men experienced shifts in wardrobe style, technology, state & federal laws, etc. They also would have developed an understanding of what was deemed as appropriate when it came to addressing people- in any given era. Especially two business men of a highly successful company.
No matter how common it was for people in the past to use the word ‘negro’ to describe a black person, it doesn’t change the fact that Mortimer using ‘negro’ to describe Billy Ray, was not as a simple designation to denote Billy Ray’s race. He used it as an insult- to emphasize the negative attributes that are assigned to that term. It being “common” and “what they were used to in their generation” is a poor rationalization for Mortimer using that word- or any person during the ‘80s, for that matter. People knew better by then. As I stated previously, anyone using the word ‘negro’ during that time is either doing it _maliciously_ or _ignorantly._
_“There was no internet.”_
The internet is not the be-all & end-all for conveyance of information. Various forms of media have existed throughout the years for people to utilize. As a society, we’ve been able to ‘get the memo’, so to say, on important shifts in the way that the general public interacts.
_“People used to understand that it was generational and if an old person used an old term that was once acceptable, no one got upset. Because there was no malice behind it.”_
Again, when the use of ‘negro’ has no malice behind it, it comes from a place of being *woefully ignorant.* Aside from that, it’s malicious.
As far as people understanding generational differences, well… they have never _stopped_ understanding these differences. Just look at the many Boomer, Millennial, Gen X, Gen Z discussions going on in society right now. People *absolutely* understand how strongly the attitudes & beliefs of other generations vary, haha. The thing is, people can _understand,_ while simultaneously _recognizing_ and _acknowledging_ when a former way of thinking is no longer valid or acceptable.
This principle also applies to the inference that understanding an older person’s use of the word (and not being upset by that) somehow denotes that recognizing its inappropriateness (and calling it out) is paired with ‘being upset’.
_“Now, the TONE he used when he said the word, does make him racist. He said it very mockingly.”_
Yes, Mortimer did use a tone which mocked Billy Ray’s competence. The _context_ in which he used ‘negro’ made his bigotry/racism most evident. He linked the term ‘negro’ with an undesirable nature. In his eyes, Billy Ray was not capable of maintaining his position in the company, due to his race. When Mortimer used the term, it wasn’t as an innocent description of Billy Ray’s race, Mortimer knew full well that saying ‘negro’ was unacceptable. The same way that people in the ‘80s would understand that it was wrong.
