"He's (Ackroyd) on his knees, like Eddie Murphy was at the beginning of the movie." I have seen this movie.. I couldn't even count how many times; it's one of my favorites. And I have never made that connection. Billy Rae on his knees for the "legless veteran" con, and then Lewis on his knees outside the bank. Never noticed that before! Awesome eye for detail!
Hahah nobody but you would take that at this point so I say this with up most conviction have at that ran though no loyalty surround bye people that have the same qualities good luck
I'm been wondering why you took my driver license using my accounts to scam people under my name taking out credit cards getting loans under my name downloading kiddy porn how far does it go I wonder I bet I find out and you finally see what it's like in life to actually suffer the consequences of your actions see you washed up trashy eoh everybody knows
I've just binged a few of your reactions. While it's never easy to gauge, as far as it's possible by just watching someone watch stuff, you seem like a a great person... with an infectious laugh. :)
I'm really glad that you picked up on the Mortimer and Randolph Coming to America connection. Most people miss it. I love your reactions. Keep up the good work!
If you want to see a really great Dan Ackroyd movie (other than Ghostbusters), you should check out "The Blues Brothers" (1980). It's really funny movie, with a lot great musicians singing and playing some great songs. I'd probably recommend the theatrical version for your first time watching, the extended version can drag a bit for some people, at least in some of the reactions I've seen.
Dan was good in The Great Outdoors. Campy movie, but he had a lot of good dialogue and was within his space as a comedian and he wasn't disguised as in Coneheads/Nothing But Trouble.
John Landis directed both this and The Blues Brothers. One of his little signatures is hiding a reference to a fictional movie called "See You Next Wednesday" somewhere. Also the desk cop who mocks Louis about his opera tickets is Frank Oz, the voice of Miss Piggy. He plays basically the same character in The Blue Brothers. There's also an inside-joke reference to Miss Piggy in TBB by the toy store customer just before the mall sequence. The tax clerk at the end is Steven Spielberg, BTW. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You_Next_Wednesday
Actually Eddie Murphy had other projects before this movie. Trading Places (1983) was Eddie's 2nd movie. His first movie was 48 HOURS in 1982. After Trading Places he also did his stand up comedy show DELIRIOUS in 1983. Before all that, Eddie was also a cast member on the TV comedy show SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE from 1980 to 1984. In 1984 Eddie did BEST DEFENSE and BEVERLY HILLS COP. In 1986 Eddie did THE GOLDEN CHILD. In 1987 Eddie did BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 and also his stand up comedy movie RAW. In 1988 Eddie did COMING TO AMERICA.
Don Ameche -- a man of high moral standards -- didn't want to use that word. He finally decided it was just something he had to do as a professional. However, he told John Landis he would only do it once. Then he apologized to all the women in the crew.

He played a chief of police faced with a group of very angry black men, around 1910. The leader of the group was played by Howard Rollins. Cagney (in his role) referred to him as a "crazy buck." He refused to say the N-word.
In addition to Muppet/Yoda performer Frank Oz, the actor who plays the Dukes' trader, Wilson, is Richard Hunt. He was the voice/performer for Scooter, Janice, Statler, Sweetums and other Muppers.

I never caught that Winthorpe had the same photo of his girlfriend at his office that he did at home. This film has the most arcane climax in a hit movie, ever.

There are entire articles devoted to explaining the mechanics of it, which I think is brilliant. There's also a generation of men who went into the financial services sector because they saw _Trading Places_ as kids and wanted to be the Duke Brothers. In the movie they saw, Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche were actually the good guys. Wall Street welcomed them, I'm sure.
Joe, funny that I'm 46 with a biomed degree and have been an electronics engineer for a medical company, but I STILL can't understand the wall street scene to this day. I just don't have the mind for it I guess. I get compound interest fine and have for 20 years, and I get that you want to buy low and sell high.... but for whatever reason understanding what happens with the orange crop befuddles me. My take is that they were selling at the highest point when the Duke's were buying, then when the prices tumbled because there was an excess of harvest the Duke's had lost all it's value? heh, No one has every told me in a way I could interpret it!
Eddie Murphy admitted that he didn't have a clue what was happening in the stock trading scene at the end, so he just followed the script and acted his way through it.
They were great together. Eddie Murphy's early movies showcase his talent much better than his later projects. I've heard that his loyalty to friends resulted in some unfortunate later project choices.
John Landis was rolling with the classics he was putting out back then so many great comedies thanks again and hope you and yours are having a merry Christmas time and holiday season!
@@mem1701movies Eddie actually got him this gig because he felt sorry for him after the Twilight Zone disaster. Landis treated him so badly on set that Eddie threaten to have his security put Landis in hospital if he didn’t show him some respect and some gratitude.
So many cameos in this one. Like, the guy from the pawn shop who sold Winthorpe the gun was none other than Bo Diddley. The famous guitarist whom is widely recognized as the inventor of Rock and Roll.
And the booking cop that taste tested the PCP was Frank Oz, who did the voices of several Muppets, including Miss Piggy, as well as voicing Yoda from Star Wars.
@Noxsosublte I've been enjoying the reactions ... here are a couple little known facts; The scheme used to make Ackroyd's and Murphy's characters rich and bankrupt the Dukes; was perfectly legal until 2010. Using crop information, either ill-gotten or obtained before being released to profit in stock trading is now classified as a form of insider trading. It is referred to as either "The Eddie Murphy Law" or "The Eddie Murphy Rule," and is in Section 786 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The cargo handler with curly hair taunting the gorilla is former Senator Al Franken, the man originally in the gorilla costume is Jim Belushi, both Saturday Night Alums.
28:31 Former SNL alum and U.S. Senator AL Franken (guy on the left). The guy on the right is Tom Davis, writing partner of Franken on SNL. The guy who was originally in the gorilla suit is Jim Belushi. Brother to John Belushi and also a former cast member on SNL. The police officer with the mustache that tasted the drugs and said "This is pcp!" is Frank Oz, notable Muppet performer. He operated and voiced among others, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, and Bert. He was also the voice and puppeteer of Yoda Happy holidays and best wishes in the new year!
Eddie Murphy had already done a great skit on SNL wearing whiteface, so think of Dan Akroyd's blackface as balancing it out. ...Also, everyone, black, white, or east asian, thought it was hilarious at the time. Their sense of humor hadn't been indoctrinated out of them, like audiences of today.
@ Sparky --- "The two biggest casualties of the insidious disease of political correctness have been truth ... and humor. ----- I notice she had no reply to your post. Disappointing. --- I saw the movie "White Men Can't Jump" 3 times. Hilarious.
The whole black face hysteria is just a recent thing made up. No one cared back then and most people don’t really care now. It’s fake outrage started by blue haired white college girls. Never in a million years would it cross my mind to be insulted if someone black had a white face for comedic effect. Total nonsense. There is a lot of people in this world who mean you harm without reaching to make innocent people out to be the devil for imaginary insults that were not meant to be insulting. Of course like always with woke nonsense. They cherry pick when it’s offensive and when it isn’t. Which seems to always be based on political to try to fit into specifically social circles. Kind of pathetic. It’s always nice when white people tell black people when to be offended!🙄
@@dperry203 No one cared then? I seriously doubt that. But it really does depend on the context. The skit for instance was trying to place a particular message in a humorous way. But if people were just doing it to be offensive, then people would care.
Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄 Let me explain a little what happened on the exchange for anyone who is confused by the ending. Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy "sell" commodity shares while the price is high, before they owned any shares. They then had to "buy" the same amount of shares that they sold earlier when the price fell. It is called "short-sell" and it's perfectly legal, although there are rules governing how this happens. It is a risk because if the price of the commodity or stock goes up, you could lose a lot of money. We are seeing a Hollywood version of a "short-sell" event. Fun Fact: The World Trade Center's commodity exchange, Comex, was used for the trading scenes, and real traders performed alongside professional extras. As reported in studio production notes, the shoot at Comex was initially planned for a weekday, but the appearance of Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy on the set disrupted business activities, and six billion dollars of trading was halted. The shoot was rescheduled for a weekend.
I think they chose Winthorp mostly out of convenience (he was already mentioned earlier in the discussion and they’d recently met with him, plus the fact that his fiancé was their granddaughter likely made it easier to pull strings on his personal life) but the thing about Winthorp asking questions about Beaks is interesting at the least…they may have been trying to discredit him as well
The train scene and Dan Aykroyd playing a Rastafarian is an interesting window into how political correctness has run amok over the last 40 years. When this movie was made, blackface was understood to be racist and inappropriate. Of course, at the same time, blackface was also understood to be a specific style of make-up that came out of minstrelsy shows. This scene wouldn't have been considered blackface since the goal wasn't to make a mockery of black people, it was just a *disguise.*
Hey... Don't make distinctions that make sense. These kids have been taught by socal media what to think and how to act, what is "acceptable" and what isn't based on the feelings of people sitting behind keyboards in their mothers basement. You can't talk sense. Its something they don't understand.
Too true. It slays me to hear how "X" wore blackface to a party or something and I'm like, "No. He darkened his skin to actually dress as a black person, not wore blackface to make fun of what some white people thought black people were like 150 years ago." I always wonder if people who are woke think everyone who uses spray tan is running around in blackface. The saddest thing about the whole issue (along with associated idiocy) is that good minds are being ruined by this shit. Look at the reactor - she clearly has a good head on her shoulders but still thinks this is blackface. GIGO
@@sam12six You are conflating idiots not recognizing their environment with a character trying to disguise himself. Those who "darkened their skin to actually dress as a black person" for a party, they are idiots.
Awww. Why'd you have to leave out the scene where Winthrop wakes up, thinks he's had a dream, then sees Valentine at the foot of his bed and chokes him out? That scene (Murphy's reaction to being choked) always cracks me up big time!
@@NoxSoSubtle Love your reactions....can I make a suggestion though for you to balance out the volume of the movie(s) and your voice a little better. You talk 5 times louder than the movie.
One of my favorite movies. Trading Places was written and produced by Aaron Russo. Russo also Wrote and produced Bette Midler's hit movie- The Rose. Russo integral in bringing Led Zeppelin to the U.S. for their very first tour in the late 60's. His business and Hollywood success brought him to be invited to the inner circles of the elite where he made friends with Nick Rockefeller of the famous elite Rockefeller family. Rockefeller let him in on and was shown the inner workings of how these oligarchs ran the world above and beyond elected western governments. He refused to be apart of these secret societies and this was a major influence in his writing the screenplay for Trading Places. Later in life he would learn that he had terminal Cancer. Knowing that he wasn't long for this world he decided to put out a documentary called: America: Freedom to Fascism. This movie exposed how the International Banking Cartel controls the world Through the ownership of Central Fiat banking systems such as the Federal Reserve.This documentary woke me up to the likes of Ron Paul, who is a feature interview in the film. It was this interview that caused me to become a conservative. Not a Republican, but a political conservative by its true definition. In that gov. should be kept as small and non-intrusive as possible. The chaos we are experiencing today is due to the silent majority trying to return back the control of our government from these oligarchs. That is why the have to demonize Trump and others at every turn. Remember, He is not a life long politician and if you look into his past he has always spoke truth to this power. Trump is not special, they will demonize and destroy anyone who challenges them, like democrats Tulsi Gabbard, Dennis Kucinich and conservatives like Ron & Rand Paul, Desantis & Kari Lake. Oligarch George Soros was a turncoat jew, and as a boy worked with the German SS in exposing jews so they could be hunted down. Soros has for years usurped various democratic governments through financing Chaos. Presently he financed and provides legal help to the Corrupt BLM and Anti-fa movements that allowed violent rioting and burning of businesses taking advantage of the plight of marginalized communities and weaponizing them. Much like Hitler did with the Brown Shirts.

The scene in Coming to America with Randolph & Mortimer was the ultimate segway for another Trading Places however Ralph Belamy passed away putting that vision out the window... it would have been brilliant
Perfect reason why the 80s is one of the best decades. People didn't get offended, triggered, or whatever by something simple as someone putting shoe polish on their face.
Great 80s movie. I live outside of Philly, so I'm familiar with the giant clothespin, and some of the other Philly spots featured in the film. Murphy and Aykroyd were so good together. It's a shame they haven't worked together in anything else. 3:27 I love how you figured out the ending of the movie so early on 😂 21:27 This is a reference to an ad campaign of the time for the brokerage EF Hutton. A few people would be out in public and one says "My broker is EF Hutton and he told me...", and everyone in the room would go quiet and everyone would look at the person speaking. And the tagline was "When EF Hutton talks, people listen." The two baggage handlers on the train were played by Al Franken and Tom Davis, who used to perform together in skits on SNL as Franken and Davis. Franken later became a US Senator. Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche (The Dukes) were real stars from the golden age of Hollywood. Ameche was known to be one of Hollywoods last true gentlemen, a real class act. He felt so bad using the N word and other racist comments, he was always apologizing to Eddie Murphy who had to reassure him that it was ok. I think one of his last big hits was Ron Howard's Cocoon (1985) Some other great 80's comedies are (I don't know what you've seen already) Ghostbusters, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Princess Bride, This is Spinal Tap, The Blues Brothers, and A Fish Called Wanda.
Three SNL alums kickin' it old school (ex Senator and SNL comedian Al Franken is in this briefly toward the end on the train). I love it. I'm glad you could see some of the more "unPC" humor in the light of the time period in which it was filmed and not get too distraught over it and start tearing the movie to shreds from then on like some younger generation film reactors out there. You should definitely check out "This is Spinal Tap," one of the best mockumentaries out there, which was released around the same time and was directed by Rob Reiner. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Before you get too upset at Don Ameche delivering the "N" word... He was so upset at having to say it himself, that he apologised to the crew and cast in advance or so I read once many years ago. Don Ameche is a great guy - you should watch 1986s Cocoon by Ron Howard.
He also didn't like having to use the F word regarding Randolph's heart attack. It is said that he told the crew he would say it once and only once and if they missed it then too bad.
29:29 "I can't _imagine_ working in that environment. It's so nuts." Well, remember, less than 20% of the stocks are traded on the floor of the market, and gradually less and less since '83. I've read it's down to less than 10% as of 2017. Odds are, if you wanted to trade stocks _nowadays,_ you would be doing it seated at a computer (or perhaps a _few_ computers), perusing a careful selection of _websites;_ a _much_ less chaotic scene.
I still don't understand how everything could be kept legal and controlled. I see so many opportunities for smartasses who want to "cheat on their test" and very little chances to control them.
Sheeesh my UA-cam crush (intended in the least creepy way possible lol) crushing another one of my FAVORITE flicks!! It's like the perfect flick, maybe a tad long (spot on about the train segment), but great characters, legendary cast, subtle yet hilarious, just fantastic. My personal favorite part is at the Christmas party in the office: *Eddie picks up phone* "Hello security?" *Dan brandishes gun* Eddie: "Merry Christmas!" I die every time 🤣
And the principle in breakfast club. He made some bank portraying a douche, he must be a nice guy in real life because actual douches don't see themselves that way.
9:08 "Step inside. Nice and warm, in here." Okay. _That_ ought to make him suspicious. He ought to be thinking that these men are looking to harvest his organs, or something. _"Whiskeyyyyy!"_ 😮 _Run,_ Valentine! _Run!_ _Save your organs!_
All those early 80s to 90s movies, involving directing by frank Oz, (he always puts himself in his movies...look for the bald guy with glasses!) and films involved with acting ,writing, production ,etc., with Ramis, Ivan Reitman,Akroyd, Murray etc., and these monster comedies that first used the ultra serious John Williams for music!!!(Animal House !)was just all comedy genius! Going back to Animal House, blues Brothers, Stripes, of course the Ghostbusters stuff....it's just all comedy gold! Pro tip, U WILL see a cameo again of the Duke Brothers, in the first Coming to America, also an Eddie Murphy movie! The Duke Brothers are Old School Hollywood royalty! Been acting since black and white! Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche! Also about commodity trading.... it's brutal! It's like day trading on steroids! And unless it's changed, this is how it's worked in America for over 200 years! Ur busy, sells, holds, boss traders, floor traders, u name it, do Business right then and there, on the floor, and money is owed, at end of day! The sad part is? They never did a sequel! Pro tip... The shorter freight handler guy is Al Franken, long time SNL writer, became a senator from Minnesota, and got his ass kicked out for massive amounts of misogyny and sexual harassment! The ape costume guy is Jim Belushi brother of the masterful John Belushi, and did many good movies himself, all the way back to Thief, Curly Sue, K-9 cop, an Arnold movie, and Return to Me. This was Murphy's first movie after SNL, his first was the greatest, 48 hours! Imagine ur twenty or twenty one years old and ur first 6 movies are 48 hours, this, Best Defense, golden child, Beverly hills cop and Coming to America, and of course SNL,which akroyd was a first major veteran of. Eddie joined SNL at 18! He left and did this, I'm not sure he was even 21 yet! But I'm sure while on SNL, akroyd recognized the talent!!
Classic comedy, thanks for reacting to this. I get what you're saying about the train scene, in the UK we've had many a comedy sketch involving 'blacking' up but they don't hold well with time. Love Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd (wrong spelling). Check out the 1997 comedy drama with him in and John Cussack called Grosse Point Blank. Another fantastic 80s comedy feel good movie is 'Adventures In Baby Sitting' from 1987 xxx
GREAT reaction!!!👍🤩💖👍🤩💖👍🤩💖👍🤩💖👍🤩💖 This is a GREAT movie, I think that Eddie Murphy's first movie role was in "48 hrs." with Nick Nolte. It was released in 1982 and is really worth watching, there's also a sequel "Another 48 hrs." which is also pretty good.
Also, no one ever points out that the guy standing beside Eddie Murphy in jail is the great Giancarlo Esposito in an early role. I flipped when I recognized him.
Eadig, I miss you so much, I'm reduced to watching your old reviews from years past just so I can see your pretty face again, admire your smooth chocolatey skin, hear your sweet voice again. Please come back Miss Nox and tell us how you've been.
Yes!! In "The Blues Brothers" he pretty much played the same sorta guy. Also love it in "Knives Out" with that huge ensemble cast he just shows up to read the will.
13:16 this reminds me of Jens Soering. He was a 19-year-old German student living in America in the 80s. He murdered his girlfriends parents at her request. He thought because he was a son of a diplomat and well educated even though he was only 19, he thought he was smarter than the cops and the attorneys. He thought he would never get caught or his crime but he did. When he went to prison, he was totally unaware of the violence that goes on in prisons and he sought out to Bring it to everyone’s attention and even wrote books about it thinking that he had some great revelation that no one else knew. Living in a totally different world, he was unaware of how the other half lives. He ended up spending nearly 30 years in prison.
here are some movies you will love 1. Arrival 2. The illusionist 3. Meet Joe Black 4. Interstellar 5. Law Abiding Citizen 6. The Day the earth stood still
Once knew a guy like this. Built up his company (2nd or 3rd startup), sold for big bucks to an international conglomerate, and traveled with his wife and 2 kids around Europe, Africa and Asia for about a year...his travel reports got tiresome to _read_ ...came back and started another company.
As a rather posh Brit myself, this is one of my all time favourites of its type, a sort of semi-screwball film & I watch it every few years, especially at Christmas, of course. Having known a few super rich, old style families, the way the Dukes are portrayed here is generally really silly, of course it's a crazy comedy, but none of them behave like this, they're more likely to drive the car, whilst the chauffeur sits in the back ;-).
Eddie Murphy hosted Saturday Night Live and dressed up as Mr. White in a sketch called "White Like Me." He was in white-face and as a white guy I can tell you he was hilarious (Look it up). Eddie was also in white-face in Coming to America as a jewish barber. Don't listen to people that say you need to be so easily offended. It's all in good fun.
It's terrific fun Interesting to note he is a swindler Here in Australia there was a move to stop legal gambling but it was pointed out that the stock markets are a gambling thing too
Great reaction! I love this movie. It's my 3rd favourite Eddie Murphy film after the first two Beverly Hills Cop films, and is a great Jamie Lee Curtis film, ranking after Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda, Halloween Kills, Halloween 2 and Halloween 2018. It features in my top 100 movies of all time. (You might have guessed my favourite movie franchise is Halloween lol)
Here in Italy, "Trading Places" has become, over the years, the most traditional Christmas movie. Is broadcast every Christmas eve in one of the most popular TV channels and every year it marks an audience record.

So many cameos in this one. Like, the guy from the pawn shop who sold Winthorpe the gun was none other than Bo Diddley. The famous guitarist whom is widely recognized as the inventor of Rock and Roll.
Look up Sister Loretta Tharpe
And the booking cop that taste tested the PCP was Frank Oz, who did the voices of several Muppets, including Miss Piggy, as well as voicing Yoda from Star Wars.
@@PuppyMonsters frank oz was also in the blues brothers. I forget if bo diddly was in the first or second movie
Bo diddley isn't recognized as the inventor of rock n roll. He definitely was an early rock n roller, but not the first by any means.
Best shot: The woman in the subway wincing as she watched Akroyd eat the salmon through his beard. I laugh every time.
Reaction shots in Landis movies are always hilarious lol
She was a cutie too!
First time watching a Nox So Subtle reaction. You are a perceptive and joyful person. Well done. Liked and subscribed!
@Noxsosublte I've been enjoying the reactions ... here are a couple little known facts;
The scheme used to make Ackroyd's and Murphy's characters rich and bankrupt the Dukes; was perfectly legal until 2010.
Using crop information, either ill-gotten or obtained before being released to profit in stock trading is now classified as a form of insider trading. It is referred to as either "The Eddie Murphy Law" or "The Eddie Murphy Rule," and is in Section 786 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The cargo handler with curly hair taunting the gorilla is former Senator Al Franken, the man originally in the gorilla costume is Jim Belushi, both Saturday Night Alums.
If you haven't seen it, '48 Hours' is another great 80's Eddie Murphy film. It's probably my favorite of his and Nick Nolte is great in it too.
28:31 Former SNL alum and U.S. Senator AL Franken (guy on the left). The guy on the right is Tom Davis, writing partner of Franken on SNL.
The guy who was originally in the gorilla suit is Jim Belushi. Brother to John Belushi and also a former cast member on SNL.
The police officer with the mustache that tasted the drugs and said "This is pcp!" is Frank Oz, notable Muppet performer. He operated and voiced among others, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, and Bert. He was also the voice and puppeteer of Yoda
Happy holidays and best wishes in the new year!
Eddie Murphy had already done a great skit on SNL wearing whiteface, so think of Dan Akroyd's blackface as balancing it out. ...Also, everyone, black, white, or east asian, thought it was hilarious at the time. Their sense of humor hadn't been indoctrinated out of them, like audiences of today.
I remember that skit, it’s hysterical
@ Sparky --- "The two biggest casualties of the insidious disease of political correctness have been truth ... and humor. ----- I notice she had no reply to your post. Disappointing. --- I saw the movie "White Men Can't Jump" 3 times. Hilarious.
The whole black face hysteria is just a recent thing made up. No one cared back then and most people don’t really care now. It’s fake outrage started by blue haired white college girls. Never in a million years would it cross my mind to be insulted if someone black had a white face for comedic effect. Total nonsense. There is a lot of people in this world who mean you harm without reaching to make innocent people out to be the devil for imaginary insults that were not meant to be insulting. Of course like always with woke nonsense. They cherry pick when it’s offensive and when it isn’t. Which seems to always be based on political to try to fit into specifically social circles. Kind of pathetic. It’s always nice when white people tell black people when to be offended!🙄
@@dperry203 No one cared then? I seriously doubt that. But it really does depend on the context. The skit for instance was trying to place a particular message in a humorous way. But if people were just doing it to be offensive, then people would care.
That was a good one. The first thing I noticed is that when white people are alone they give each other things.
Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄
Let me explain a little what happened on the exchange for anyone who is confused by the ending. Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy "sell" commodity shares while the price is high, before they owned any shares. They then had to "buy" the same amount of shares that they sold earlier when the price fell. It is called "short-sell" and it's perfectly legal, although there are rules governing how this happens. It is a risk because if the price of the commodity or stock goes up, you could lose a lot of money. We are seeing a Hollywood version of a "short-sell" event.
Fun Fact: The World Trade Center's commodity exchange, Comex, was used for the trading scenes, and real traders performed alongside professional extras. As reported in studio production notes, the shoot at Comex was initially planned for a weekday, but the appearance of Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy on the set disrupted business activities, and six billion dollars of trading was halted. The shoot was rescheduled for a weekend.
I think they chose Winthorp mostly out of convenience (he was already mentioned earlier in the discussion and they’d recently met with him, plus the fact that his fiancé was their granddaughter likely made it easier to pull strings on his personal life) but the thing about Winthorp asking questions about Beaks is interesting at the least…they may have been trying to discredit him as well
"It was a *stone groove*, my man! You are...the most righteous---"
"Yeah, yeah, right. Just get the fuck out, man, let's go. Shit."
groove,*
At 29:23 where they are walking - that’s the WORLD TRADE CENTER.
The train scene and Dan Aykroyd playing a Rastafarian is an interesting window into how political correctness has run amok over the last 40 years. When this movie was made, blackface was understood to be racist and inappropriate. Of course, at the same time, blackface was also understood to be a specific style of make-up that came out of minstrelsy shows. This scene wouldn't have been considered blackface since the goal wasn't to make a mockery of black people, it was just a *disguise.*
Hey... Don't make distinctions that make sense. These kids have been taught by socal media what to think and how to act, what is "acceptable" and what isn't based on the feelings of people sitting behind keyboards in their mothers basement. You can't talk sense. Its something they don't understand.
Just like Gene Wilder in the movie Silver Streak (1976).
Too true. It slays me to hear how "X" wore blackface to a party or something and I'm like, "No. He darkened his skin to actually dress as a black person, not wore blackface to make fun of what some white people thought black people were like 150 years ago."
I always wonder if people who are woke think everyone who uses spray tan is running around in blackface. The saddest thing about the whole issue (along with associated idiocy) is that good minds are being ruined by this shit. Look at the reactor - she clearly has a good head on her shoulders but still thinks this is blackface. GIGO
@@sam12six You are conflating idiots not recognizing their environment with a character trying to disguise himself. Those who "darkened their skin to actually dress as a black person" for a party, they are idiots.
All of that, plus it was a costume New Year’s Eve train party event
I never found anything wrong with it then, now or ever
Best comedy ever. Saw this in the theatres as a kid. I am so glad and this holds up well. Glad you reacted to this.
This film is absolute perfection. A masterpiece for Landis, right along with An American Werewolf In London.
Awww. Why'd you have to leave out the scene where Winthrop wakes up, thinks he's had a dream, then sees Valentine at the foot of his bed and chokes him out? That scene (Murphy's reaction to being choked) always cracks me up big time!
Loving the (Nox So) subtle red/green mood lighting nod to the holidays. Also, keep up the great variety of films. Cheers.
Thank you!! Happy Holidays 🙂
@@NoxSoSubtle Love your reactions....can I make a suggestion though for you to balance out the volume of the movie(s) and your voice a little better. You talk 5 times louder than the movie.
One of my favorite movies. Trading Places was written and produced by Aaron Russo. Russo also Wrote and produced Bette Midler's hit movie- The Rose. Russo integral in bringing Led Zeppelin to the U.S. for their very first tour in the late 60's. His business and Hollywood success brought him to be invited to the inner circles of the elite where he made friends with Nick Rockefeller of the famous elite Rockefeller family. Rockefeller let him in on and was shown the inner workings of how these oligarchs ran the world above and beyond elected western governments. He refused to be apart of these secret societies and this was a major influence in his writing the screenplay for Trading Places. Later in life he would learn that he had terminal Cancer. Knowing that he wasn't long for this world he decided to put out a documentary called: America: Freedom to Fascism. This movie exposed how the International Banking Cartel controls the world Through the ownership of Central Fiat banking systems such as the Federal Reserve.This documentary woke me up to the likes of Ron Paul, who is a feature interview in the film. It was this interview that caused me to become a conservative. Not a Republican, but a political conservative by its true definition. In that gov. should be kept as small and non-intrusive as possible. The chaos we are experiencing today is due to the silent majority trying to return back the control of our government from these oligarchs. That is why the have to demonize Trump and others at every turn. Remember, He is not a life long politician and if you look into his past he has always spoke truth to this power. Trump is not special, they will demonize and destroy anyone who challenges them, like democrats Tulsi Gabbard, Dennis Kucinich and conservatives like Ron & Rand Paul, Desantis & Kari Lake. Oligarch George Soros was a turncoat jew, and as a boy worked with the German SS in exposing jews so they could be hunted down. Soros has for years usurped various democratic governments through financing Chaos. Presently he financed and provides legal help to the Corrupt BLM and Anti-fa movements that allowed violent rioting and burning of businesses taking advantage of the plight of marginalized communities and weaponizing them. Much like Hitler did with the Brown Shirts.

The scene in Coming to America with Randolph & Mortimer was the ultimate segway for another Trading Places however Ralph Belamy passed away putting that vision out the window... it would have been brilliant
You are the Best Noxy, your Energy Heals me, that is what we Lightworkers are supposed to do! HUGS
Perfect reason why the 80s is one of the best decades. People didn't get offended, triggered, or whatever by something simple as someone putting shoe polish on their face.
Better not think of "Silver streak"...
100 ;-).
You didn’t recognize Giancarlo Esposito in the jail scene with Eddie Murphy leaning against the bars
I was a bit down today but this really cheered me up. Thanks
"Mortimer, your brother's not well. We better call an ambulance!"
"F*ck him!"
Best line in the movie! Lol.
"Distinguished Gentleman" and "Vampire in Brooklyn" - if you want to see more earlier Eddie Murphy comedies.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! Wish you and your family all the best in the coming year!
Thank you Happy Holidays!! 🙂
I miss this time of great Eddie Murphey movies. Great memories of awesome entertainment.
Radolph and Mortimet are like the SPOILERS the VIPs in Squid Game
The energy she used when she said “They become bums” made my day, Subscribed😆
Great 80s movie. I live outside of Philly, so I'm familiar with the giant clothespin, and some of the other Philly spots featured in the film.
Murphy and Aykroyd were so good together. It's a shame they haven't worked together in anything else.
3:27 I love how you figured out the ending of the movie so early on 😂
21:27 This is a reference to an ad campaign of the time for the brokerage EF Hutton. A few people would be out in public and one says "My broker is EF Hutton and he told me...", and everyone in the room would go quiet and everyone would look at the person speaking. And the tagline was "When EF Hutton talks, people listen."
The two baggage handlers on the train were played by Al Franken and Tom Davis, who used to perform together in skits on SNL as Franken and Davis. Franken later became a US Senator.
Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche (The Dukes) were real stars from the golden age of Hollywood. Ameche was known to be one of Hollywoods last true gentlemen, a real class act. He felt so bad using the N word and other racist comments, he was always apologizing to Eddie Murphy who had to reassure him that it was ok. I think one of his last big hits was Ron Howard's Cocoon (1985)
Some other great 80's comedies are (I don't know what you've seen already) Ghostbusters, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Princess Bride, This is Spinal Tap, The Blues Brothers, and A Fish Called Wanda.
I love that you laughed at that part, it’s the funniest part of the movie….
“ hey yo winthorp, WINTHORP!”
“(GROWL)”
🤣🤣🤣
Three SNL alums kickin' it old school (ex Senator and SNL comedian Al Franken is in this briefly toward the end on the train). I love it. I'm glad you could see some of the more "unPC" humor in the light of the time period in which it was filmed and not get too distraught over it and start tearing the movie to shreds from then on like some younger generation film reactors out there.
You should definitely check out "This is Spinal Tap," one of the best mockumentaries out there, which was released around the same time and was directed by Rob Reiner.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Four. That was Tom Davis with Al Franken. They performed together on SNL as Franken and Davis.
@@asterix7842 Cool. That's right.
The 80s were so much fun looking back especially movies I probably was at the mall theater every week or drive in thanks again
Before you get too upset at Don Ameche delivering the "N" word... He was so upset at having to say it himself, that he apologised to the crew and cast in advance or so I read once many years ago. Don Ameche is a great guy - you should watch 1986s Cocoon by Ron Howard.
Makes little sense that the brothers rattle off the word without blinking nowadays either. If it's offensive, it's offensive all the time.
@@MoMoMyPup10 What brothers?
He also didn't like having to use the F word regarding Randolph's heart attack. It is said that he told the crew he would say it once and only once and if they missed it then too bad.
Trading Places is one of the funniest movies ever made. Intelligent story too!
That part with the ape...did you recognize former US Senator Al Franken?
In coming to America, when Akeem gave Mortimer that wad of cash 💸, I thought for sure that meant a sequel to trading places, but it never happened.
This movie reminds me of WTC, more than the time I was in NYC, and got to go up to the top of Tower 2.
"Lots of boobs in this movie. I'm surprised."
Welcome to the 80's! It was the era of excess...
I loved the 80's.
I love boobs.
80's were full of boobs... :-)
Excess lol
29:29 "I can't _imagine_ working in that environment. It's so nuts."
Well, remember, less than 20% of the stocks are traded on the floor of the market, and gradually less and less since '83. I've read it's down to less than 10% as of 2017. Odds are, if you wanted to trade stocks _nowadays,_ you would be doing it seated at a computer (or perhaps a _few_ computers), perusing a careful selection of _websites;_ a _much_ less chaotic scene.
I still don't understand how everything could be kept legal and controlled.
I see so many opportunities for smartasses who want to "cheat on their test" and very little chances to control them.
Sheeesh my UA-cam crush (intended in the least creepy way possible lol) crushing another one of my FAVORITE flicks!! It's like the perfect flick, maybe a tad long (spot on about the train segment), but great characters, legendary cast, subtle yet hilarious, just fantastic. My personal favorite part is at the Christmas party in the office:
*Eddie picks up phone* "Hello security?"
*Dan brandishes gun*
Eddie: "Merry Christmas!"
I die every time 🤣
Fun fact:
The "elite" are currently doing this on a global scale. "The great reset"
Ah... yes
The actor whose character framed Winthorpe played the Deputy Police Chief in Die Hard.
And the principle in breakfast club. He made some bank portraying a douche, he must be a nice guy in real life because actual douches don't see themselves that way.
@@bluebird3281 Unfortunately Paul Gleason who played Beeks passed away in 2006.
9:08 "Step inside. Nice and warm, in here."
Okay. _That_ ought to make him suspicious. He ought to be thinking that these men are looking to harvest his organs, or something.
_"Whiskeyyyyy!"_
😮 _Run,_ Valentine! _Run!_ _Save your organs!_
You are such a joy to watch. So refreshing too.
"It.was.the.Dukes.it.was.the.Dukes." 😫. 😅 My favorite Christmas movie that I've watched every year since it first came out on cable.
Eddie was brilliant in this movie 🍿
BTW the cop that discovered the pcp was Frank Oz aka the voice of Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy from the Muppets.
Awww, you weren't supposed to see the Duke brothers in Coming to America until AFTER you saw this. You spoiled it for yourself.
That bald cop is Frank Oz, the voice of Miss Piggy. Fozzie Bear and several other Muppet characters. He is also the voice of Yoda from Star Wars.
Really fun watching you respond to this. Excellent movie.
A great 80's Dan Aykroyd film is 'Neighbors' a comedy with John Belushi.
All those early 80s to 90s movies, involving directing by frank Oz, (he always puts himself in his movies...look for the bald guy with glasses!) and films involved with acting ,writing, production ,etc., with Ramis, Ivan Reitman,Akroyd, Murray etc., and these monster comedies that first used the ultra serious John Williams for music!!!(Animal House !)was just all comedy genius! Going back to Animal House, blues Brothers, Stripes, of course the Ghostbusters stuff....it's just all comedy gold! Pro tip, U WILL see a cameo again of the Duke Brothers, in the first Coming to America, also an Eddie Murphy movie! The Duke Brothers are Old School Hollywood royalty! Been acting since black and white! Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche!
Also about commodity trading.... it's brutal! It's like day trading on steroids! And unless it's changed, this is how it's worked in America for over 200 years! Ur busy, sells, holds, boss traders, floor traders, u name it, do Business right then and there, on the floor, and money is owed, at end of day! The sad part is? They never did a sequel! Pro tip... The shorter freight handler guy is Al Franken, long time SNL writer, became a senator from Minnesota, and got his ass kicked out for massive amounts of misogyny and sexual harassment!
The ape costume guy is Jim Belushi brother of the masterful John Belushi, and did many good movies himself, all the way back to Thief, Curly Sue, K-9 cop, an Arnold movie, and Return to Me.
This was Murphy's first movie after SNL, his first was the greatest, 48 hours! Imagine ur twenty or twenty one years old and ur first 6 movies are 48 hours, this, Best Defense, golden child, Beverly hills cop and Coming to America, and of course SNL,which akroyd was a first major veteran of. Eddie joined SNL at 18! He left and did this, I'm not sure he was even 21 yet! But I'm sure while on SNL, akroyd recognized the talent!!
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies!!!! The black face was Eddie’s idea. It’s jarring, though. But other than that, it’s amazing!!
Classic comedy, thanks for reacting to this. I get what you're saying about the train scene, in the UK we've had many a comedy sketch involving 'blacking' up but they don't hold well with time.
Love Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd (wrong spelling). Check out the 1997 comedy drama with him in and John Cussack called Grosse Point Blank.
Another fantastic 80s comedy feel good movie is 'Adventures In Baby Sitting' from 1987 xxx
GREAT reaction!!!👍🤩💖👍🤩💖👍🤩💖👍🤩💖👍🤩💖 This is a GREAT movie, I think that Eddie Murphy's first movie role was in "48 hrs." with Nick Nolte. It was released in 1982 and is really worth watching, there's also a sequel "Another 48 hrs." which is also pretty good.
Crazy to me that you saw coming to America before this... actually ticklish
Also, no one ever points out that the guy standing beside Eddie Murphy in jail is the great Giancarlo Esposito in an early role. I flipped when I recognized him.
😐😯😮😳🤯
Nobody points out that Crazy Ralph from Friday the 13th Part 1 and 2 is one of the assistants
Or that Yoda is the bald Policeman with the glasses.
@@ryklatortuga4146 Frank Oz was a corrections officer in The Blues Brothers, too.
I'm starting to become addicted to your channel. I can't imagine what it could be that makes me keep coming back 🙂
I forgot about this movie, watched is so long ago...love it! Also "THOSE MAN WANTED TO HAVE SEX WITH ME!" haha :D
Eadig, I miss you so much, I'm reduced to watching your old reviews from years past just so I can see your pretty face again, admire your smooth chocolatey skin, hear your sweet voice again. Please come back Miss Nox and tell us how you've been.
You're absolutely scrumptious 😋. Love your reactions too...Fin / London xx
Extremely random: the bald cop that plants the angel dust on Winthrop is Frank Oz...voice and puppeteer of both Yoda and Miss Piggy.
Yes!!
In "The Blues Brothers" he pretty much played the same sorta guy.
Also love it in "Knives Out" with that huge ensemble cast he just shows up to read the will.
Happy Xmas, holidays, from Geelong Australia IYI. Peace!!
Happy Holidays!! 🙂
13:16 this reminds me of Jens Soering. He was a 19-year-old German student living in America in the 80s. He murdered his girlfriends parents at her request.
He thought because he was a son of a diplomat and well educated even though he was only 19, he thought he was smarter than the cops and the attorneys. He thought he would never get caught or his crime but he did.
When he went to prison, he was totally unaware of the violence that goes on in prisons and he sought out to Bring it to everyone’s attention and even wrote books about it thinking that he had some great revelation that no one else knew. Living in a totally different world, he was unaware of how the other half lives. He ended up spending nearly 30 years in prison.
You can see why Jamie Lee’s nickname at this time was “the body”.
They desperately need a sequel!!
here are some movies you will love
1. Arrival
2. The illusionist
3. Meet Joe Black
4. Interstellar
5. Law Abiding Citizen
6. The Day the earth stood still
Frank Oz from the Muppets(and The Blues Brothers movie) was one of the cops at the police station.
Cheers 🥂 have a Happy New Year 🎆
…Trading Places JOY 🤩
Great reaction Nox i loved, the Santa grown part😂😂😂😂😂 that was awesome. Happy new year to you cheers.👍
31:41 Oh, _yes!_ Now _this_ is how you demonstrate wealth! You _travel!_ You travel until you _tire_ of traveling!
Once knew a guy like this. Built up his company (2nd or 3rd startup), sold for big bucks to an international conglomerate, and traveled with his wife and 2 kids around Europe, Africa and Asia for about a year...his travel reports got tiresome to _read_ ...came back and started another company.
As a rather posh Brit myself, this is one of my all time favourites of its type, a sort of semi-screwball film & I watch it every few years, especially at Christmas, of course. Having known a few super rich, old style families, the way the Dukes are portrayed here is generally really silly, of course it's a crazy comedy, but none of them behave like this, they're more likely to drive the car, whilst the chauffeur sits in the back ;-).
Eddie Murphy hosted Saturday Night Live and dressed up as Mr. White in a sketch called "White Like Me." He was in white-face and as a white guy I can tell you he was hilarious (Look it up). Eddie was also in white-face in Coming to America as a jewish barber. Don't listen to people that say you need to be so easily offended. It's all in good fun.
Murphy and Acroyd, 2 comedy geniuses. Hilarious film.
Love it when you laugh... very nice...
Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
I really love your personality and infectious laugh, dear.
24:42 It seems like you are wearing a tuxedo...
😂😂😂
Trivia: 'have you seen what this stuff does to kids?' from the voice of Yoda, Frank Oz.
Merry Christmas, Nox!
It's terrific fun
Interesting to note he is a swindler
Here in Australia there was a move to stop legal gambling but it was pointed out that the stock markets are a gambling thing too
Great reaction! I love this movie. It's my 3rd favourite Eddie Murphy film after the first two Beverly Hills Cop films, and is a great Jamie Lee Curtis film, ranking after Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda, Halloween Kills, Halloween 2 and Halloween 2018. It features in my top 100 movies of all time. (You might have guessed my favourite movie franchise is Halloween lol)
