Don Ameche who played the racist Mortimer, was vehemently opposed to the racism in the script, especially using the n-word. Eddie Murphy told him it was just part of his character, and that the lines would be okay. It took a lot of convincing to get Ameche to deliver the lines, but Eddie was critical to giving Ameche the okay to use them.
I'd always heard Don Ameche was a really great guy, that makes his performance even better. He didn't even want to cuss at the end of the movie, but the took one for the team.
Never been anything negative about Ameche by anyone.
@farscape
Well Damn, that sucks. And now I've got that song stuck in my head.
Don Ameche also didn't want to swear. That line where he yells "F@#$ him!" was done in one take because that's the only take he was going to do.
@farscape still pales in comparison to what's happened the last 3 years.
Don Ameche screaming "Fuck him!" is one of my favorite moments in film. I still crack up every time I hear it.
After watching Coming to America so many times, it must be nice to finally understand why Randolph and Mortimer were living on the streets. Love that cross-over.
As a teen from the 80's I can confirm that Eddie Murphy was a comedic legend for his roles in these films.
Everyone loves Eddie Murphy he is the comedian I compare every other comedian to
I used to work as a butler. Five years working this European family, who were so out of touch with humanity. I cooked, cleaned, did everything. Coleman is my favorite character in this one.
I liked when he held Curtis's gum for her and managed to lend grace and dignity to such an ignoble task. True professional gentleman.
Denholm Elliot is a treasure in this film; I don't think he gets enough recognition. The big stars- Eddie, Dan, Jamie, are all wonderful, as are Don and Ralph (the Duke bro's).
But Denholm's "Coleman" is simply a master-class in understated yet spot-on character acting. Some of my favorites are when he's talking to his former boss through the crack in the door. Just before he closes it, there is a flash of absolute pity on his face. Louis Winthorp may have been a jerk, but Coleman still feels bad for him.
And my absolute favorite line: "Eggnog?" SO much class warfare, decades of pent-up frustration, a lifetime of rage aimed toward his "scumbag" employers- boiled into that single word.
_"They're key to the plot"_
This man understands true cinema.
And that they were
My absolute favorite scene in this movie is Eddie Murphy's expression when Ralph Bellamy tries to explain to him what bacon is.
To clarify, Dan Ackroyd was in the original cast of SNL whereas he had already left the show by the time Eddie Murphy got involved. Murphy was in the 2nd generation of SNL cast members that also included Jim Belushi who played the party goer in the gorilla suit. Two other SNL cast members, from the Dan Ackroyd era, are Tom Davis and Al Franken who played the bumbling baggage handlers. And Frank Oz, who worked with Jim Henson in the creation oif the muppets and was the voice of many of the characters including Yoda from STAR WARS did a cameo as the booking cop. (He had a similar role in another SNL movie spinoff - THE BLUES BROTHERS).
Yeah, the entire theater exploded with laughter over that one.
His look to camera, breaking the forth wall was hilarious. The only other person I can think of in film that does that is Oliver hardy.
Another awesome reaction. They originally had Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder in mind for this movie. But Pryor suffered a back injury while filming The Toy so he had to bail. Wilder refused to do it without him. Step in Ackroyd and Murphy and it worked out perfectly.
This movie is a staple at our house. The look on Coleman's face while serving the topless party girls is priceless! That's probably the first party he ever attended that was actually fun.
"He got his collar popped like Kanye!"
lol, this was '83....
Actually, Kanye got his collar popped like Todd.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can't believe the murder whistle has never seen this! This is going to be AWESOME. 😎😎
Try The Golden Child too if you haven’t seen it, that was my first Eddie Murphy favourite. I always look forward to your reactions ❤
@@dianedavid3052
why do you look forward to my reactions? 🤨
@@USCFlash I don’t! I liked your comment then mistakenly replied to you and didn’t realise. Apologies if you’re offended, it was not my intention to raise your eyebrow in that manner
@@dianedavid3052
I was not offended, I was just curious.
It's hard to describe how integral this movie is to my childhood. I must have watched this dozens of times before the 90s began.
I saw Coming to America in the theater with my sister while ditching school after our ortho appointment.
First movie I ever saw in a theater,it’s a vague memory but it’s there. I grew up in Philly so that was cool to see too. I wish I would’ve seen Coming To America on the big screen,that’s awesome that ya did
The best part has to be watching.you realize what's going to happen with the gorilla. You watch the scene, you think about it and then there's that moment of realization. Love it.
😳
"Galaxy Quest" is a 1999 movie you will enjoy. Starring Alan Rickman, Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and many more stars you will recognize.
You’re right lol. Here’s the link to it

I have been binging this channel for 3 days now and I got to say you are hilarious JL and even though I'm not a dog guy, I love the way your dogs care for you when you tear up, jump up when you yell, and always show their love. What a great team!
The guy on the train with the curly hair is none other than a young Senator Al Franken
Ex-senator. Misbehaved and got caught.
This is one of the best movies to come out of the 80s...yes, it's hilarious, but it hits on deeper societal issues in a way that isn't necessarily preachy or off-putting. This movie should be studied in school, IMO, because it would keep the students engaged while also making them think more deeply than they're usually allowed to.
Growing up with Eddie Murphy's career in its prime and watching his stuff in order was a treat. I am thankful for being taken to see "Beverly Hills Cop" at that really young age.
"I've played basketball in some ghetto ways but I've never played it like that."
I saw teenagers using a trash can that was on the ground. Kids in the past would at least put in some effort.
My favorite and top compliment to Murphy- (even though it references something pretty old now- it's still true:) He saved SNL. Between those 1980 to '85 seasons, he was hands down the best part of it. Murphy wasn't the only cast member or person in general behind it, but the best of them. "I'm Gumby, damnnit!👋🙄" lol.
“Kill my landlord”🤣
I watch this movie every year for New Years and I wait on that scene 38:12 😂 That line delivery on "fuck him!!" is the best of all-time.
Kind of hard to believe the actor playing the goofy-eyed baggage handler ended up as a US Senator
That was a stoooone groove, my man..
"You are the most RIGHTEOUS---"
"Yeah, right, just get the fuck out, man. Let's go. Shit."
Beef jerky time!
Looking forward to this review. Will have to see Coming to America after this!
Favorite Duke quotes:
Randolph: "Mother always said you were greedy."
Mortimer Duke: "She meant it as a compliment."
Mortimer: "We seem to be paying some of our employees an awful lot of money."
Louis: (laughs) "can't get around the ol' minimum wage, Mortimer."
I think you meant “I bet they make their maid/butler iron their tighty whitey’s” 😉 they’re rich. They don’t iron sh*t 😂
To this day, when I am eating beef jerky I have to say out loud, "Beef Jerky Time!" regardless of the situation
"The Distinguished Gentleman" - 80s comedy staring Eddie Murphy that takes place in Washington DC and it's about politics. Really worth watching!
This was Eddie's 2nd movie, he was still on Saturday Night Live when he made it. Dan Akroyd had already left SNL by the time Eddie got there. The movie that came before this is 48 hours, you should check that out.
The pawnbroker was none other than the legendary rhythm-'n'-bluesman, Bo Diddley, and that was his music playing in the background. The Roche-Foucault watch is a real thing and it's real expensive.
1. The booking officer is Frank Oz. (Kermit/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. GOOF: Where did Louis get the gun AND all those drugs for only $50?🤑
5. 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.
6. There's an Easter egg in "Coming to America" with the Duke brothers. Eddie Murphy at his best.
Another goof only an Amtrak rider like me would get...The NE corridor trains don't have any rooms like that, only regular coach seats, some in business class a little bigger, but nothing like the private room shown.
The Dukes' broker, Wilson, was Richard Hunt. He was the voice and puppeteer for Scooter, Beaker, Janice and several other Muppets.
Isn’t the guy that played crazy Ralph in Friday the 13th in it too. One of the Duke bros servants who says something like mornin mr duke. ?
Fun fact. The part of Winston in Ghostbusters was written for Eddie Murphy, but Eddie was already committed to Beverly Hills Cop. Dan tried hard to get Eddie to do both but he couldn't make the timing work
Your reaction and commentary is 110% pure comedy gold. This movie still makes me laugh out loud even though I've seen it so many times over the years. Merry Christmas to you and your wee doggies.
Coming to America had the greatest cameo of all time thanks to this movie.
18:53 - Eddie Murphy broke the 4th wall twice in this movie(the other scene being when they put him in the squad car)
In this case he's looking at us thinking "these dudes think I don't know what bacon is".
Not only one of my favorite comedies, but also one of my favorite films. And, yeah. Coming To America is also in my top five favorite comedies.
The bit where he eats the fish through his beard has always been stuck in my head since the first time I saw this movie 😂
You’ve got a great sense of humor and a quick wit. I enjoy your channel. You get me laughing out loud multiple times in nearly every reaction vid. You always catch me off guard !
Much appreciate that!
Trading Places was perpetually on HBO during the 80s. Great movie.
90's too.
Oh I can't wait to watch this movie with this man!!! I musta' seen this movie at least 100 times back in the '80's... still one of my all time favs to this day! 💯
Aykroyd and Murphy are one of the greatest comedy duos in a movie, ever. I love this movie. Always great for a few laughs.
"What if I can't do this job, Coleman? What if I'm not what they expected?"
"Just be yourself, sir. Whatever happens, they can't take that away from you."
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: Several funny moments in the film came about by accident. Mortimer Duke (Don Ameche) having trouble catching the money clip wasn't supposed to happen that way, but the actors kept going with it and not breaking character, so it was kept in the movie. Ophelia's "Swedish" disguise came about because Jamie Lee Curtis couldn't do the correct Austrian accent.
Historical Fact: In 2010, as part of the Wall Street Transparency And Accountability Act, which was to regulate financial markets, a rule was included which barred anyone from using secret inside information to corner markets, similar to what the Duke brothers tried to do in the movie. Since the movie inspired this rule, it has since become known as the Eddie Murphy Rule.
Trading Halted 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.
Commodity contracts are not "shares".
They were trading futures contracts.
38:14 When our boy starts side laughing you know it's funny.
One of the best comedies ever. Classic 80’s and I never get sick of watching it. Glad you connected the Coming to America easter egg to this!! Great reaction as always JL!
38:11 lol it's so nice to finally see someone reacting to this part and actually laughing because when I first saw it, I could not breathe I was laughing so hard. Even seeing that part again now I'm still laughing hard lol.
Fun fact.......John Landis always tries to put other directors (Frank Oz as the cop) and musicians (Bo Diddley as the pawn shop dude) in his movies.
Good morning Jay, great movie , you’ll love it. Give the copilots a verticle belly rub for me. Missing my copilot terribly. Our first Xmas in 15 yrs without him.. watching your channel helps me . Thanx pal
Every time I hear "They're key to the plot" it makes me giggle just a little. 😆
I still crack up when Louie comes in the train compartment disguised as the Rasta, like he thinks he's going to fool anyone
I think he was counting on the fact that it was a New Year's "party train" and most passengers would be costumed and drunk.
If you had watched this before Coming to America, you'd have near died when Mortimer and his brother made their cameo!
Love how so many reviewers are properly shocked/surprised/thrilled to see the JLC nude part and this guy just casually goes "Key to the plot" lol
Shoutout for. The dude experiencing cancer I hope everything worked out
Yes, that's the Detention room monitor from The Breakfast Club. Paul Gleason was known for playing despicable characters. He died of Mesothelioma in 2006.
To explain the ending, the stock prices were going because of a perceived shortage in OJ. But the protagonists waited till the right moment to start selling shares massively which drove the share prices down. When the crop report came out, it drove prices down even further. Now the protagonists are buying shares to give to the people they sold too when the market opened. Sell high, buy low. As for the Duke Bros. because of the false info they got, their strategy was opposite of what was anticipated and they ended up going broke. Until a African prince bailed them out. 😁
You HAVE to do Eddie's first movie,"48 HOURS".He was INSTANTLY a huge hit & never looked back. This is some seriously funny shit!
I used to drive a taxi, though I never expected to get a tip let alone a bonus. One time I gave a ride to a couple of wealthy women who were on a shopping spree. After I got them home and after helping with the unloading, they gave me a tip of two dollars. I said to them, "Thank you ladies, now I can retire!"
I worked in a convenience store and some customers would say "Keep the change, that's your tip" but it was always in a friendly joking manner. I'd reply "Thanks! A few more like that and I can get that Porsche I've been wanting!"
Ralph Bellamy (Randolph) and Don Ameche (Mortimer) make cameo appearances in Coming to America (1988) as the same characters; the two are now homeless, and Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) gives them a large amount of money to get them back off the streets.
That was Bo Didley at the pawnshop. A badass guitar player.
Escargot is a fancy word for snails served in French restaurants. "Look at that S-Car go"
Baggage Handler #1 is SNL alum and former U.S. Senator Al Franken. He had at least one great moment on SNL when he was able to perform a skit as his best known character Stuart Smalley in which he provides some most unnecessary motivational and emotional support to Michael Jordan by having Air repeat the line... "I don't need to dribble the ball real fast...because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog gone it, people like me!"
"Fuck him!"
The best line in the movie, imo. I've seen this flick more times than I can count, and I laugh at that line every time.
Dan Akroyd was part of the original SNL cast. Eddie Murphy was also an SNL alum. So many great careers came from SNL. I don't know if the channel has done the Blues Brothers 1980(Belushi, Akroyd) yet. But I would highly suggest that as a follow up. That was Akroyd's best performance.
Jeffrey from Fresh Prince definitely cooked 💯
Him: My love for Jaime Lee Curtis is strong”
Ofelia (o)(o)
Him “We getting married”
😂
They say Heidi Klum is “the body”
The only body is Jaime Lee Curtis ☝🏾
Nice catch on the two old guys from the end of Coming to America. This movie was first, they are connected by that thread. Very cool you recognized them.
1:55, looks bout possessed, 12:21, then completely covered. I love the reactions and all the funny banter but I’m so here for the doggo content too!
Fun fact: Winthorpe's Rochefoucauld watch retailed at $9955 in that era and would be worth upwards of 28k today.
"His butt a daycare right now" 😆
The bald headed cop that found the bag of drugs was played by Frank Oz. He does the voice of Miss Piggy and Yoda, plus many other characters.
Now ,this is a Christmas movie..
Looking Good Billy Ray! Feeling good Lewis!😁
An extraordinary Christmas movie ! Saw it when it first came out. Eddie is hilarious and Dan Ackroyd … OMG! 😂
That salmon!
Yup, these youngsters just know Eddie as Dr. Dolittle. Man Eddie Murphy "Delirious" and "Raw" GOLDEN CHILD! But bro, you were in rare form, you had so many one liners in here, I was weak the whole damn time!
@43:34 Shout out to Lost Opportunity AKA Crow crow (idk how you spell crow). Get well, Stay well. Love ya fam. You matter. You have influence and you make a difference. Thank you.
"His buithole in daycare right now" - lines like this are why I subscribed ROFLMAO!
"Coming To America" is your quotable film....? Mine is this one. Can't tell you how many times I've used the line "I'm a chain-belt Kung Fu. Bruce Lee was my teacher." and ".....I'm a Karate man. I bruise on the inside. Don't show no weaknesses".
Great vid, man!
*You're commentary at the end it's correct younger generations don't realize **#SNL** used to actually be funny*
Loved yer laughter in this.
And honestly, after this came out not a week would go by in high school without some people shouting out "Looking good" and "Feeling good" 😂 😂 😂
My first words every year for the last 5 years. “Merry New Year”.
If you go way back to the days of radio Don Ameche had a comedy show called The Bickersons. Funny as hell. We used to listen to the albums.
The Gorilla part is my favorite because they're BOTH guys in suits its just one is purposefully fake the other one is just a super expensive budget costume XD
The pawnbroker was Bo Diddley. The. cop who found the angel dust was Frank Oz.
A lot of people don't know this, but Trading Places is actually a remake of the 1954 film 'The Million Pound Note', which is itself an adaptation of a short story by Mark Twain.
Oh shit the Mark Twain connection makes a lot of sense
Louie when he’s pawning his watch, the pawn broker is Bo Didley
Jamie Lee Curtis' husband, Christopher Guest, was on Saturday Night Live as well. He went on to do comedy must-see classics, "This Is Spinal Tap" & "Best In Show", which is about the "Superbowl" of DOG SHOWS. What makes them so good is Guest comes up with an idea & the actors improv.
See ya!
🤘😎❤
"I've watched the hell out of Coming to America" -- Now you finally get Randolf and Mortimer's backstory.
This movie was released in 1983.
Coming to America released in 1988,
Jaime Lee Curtis, my ex worked in the movie industry and worked in a Movie… he said Jaime is a down to earth person, a cool person 👍. Be well 💙👋🏽🤗
Bo Diddley running the pawn shop? 😆
Al Franken checkin' the gorilla? 😁
Coked up traders bustin' out the toilet stalls like race horses..😅
This movie is the first part of a trilogy called The Duke Bros. trilogy. Part 2 is Coming To America, and part 3 of the trilogy is called Coming 2 America. Each film involves the Duke Brothers in some way.
He made that zombie sound before walking out.
"Mortimer, your brother's not well, we better call an ambulance"
"Fck him!"
Don Ameche saying that line never fails to crack me up!
the thing is, I hear he was adverse to swearing and took a lot of convincing to just utter the word fuck and that was the only take.
Both that and the N word line Don said get it on the 1st cut because I won't say it twice
@@Shiirow Finding that out about him just makes the scene even funnier!
You should do Eddie Murphy's old standup routines. They are classics. Delirious and Raw.
That big piece of food he put inside his jacket is salmon.
Actor Don Ameche (brother Mortimer Duke) apparently told director Jon Landis bluntly that if he wanted him in the movie and insisted that he did racist and profanity content that he had best have his best people on set for those scenes and run an additional camera because he was only going to get one take out of him for 'that'. Jon Landis agreed and the rest is history.
I have to admit while the Halloween season was faun watch you jump and say shut up every two minutes, I am more entertained watching you really laugh and enjoy yourself. The commentary is hilarious.
the bacon 4th wall break is one of the funniest 4th wall breaks in movie history
YES!!
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
Originally, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were considered for the leads in this film, as a Chauffeur and his employer, a stock broker, where they switch places for a week to see how different their lives would have been.
I can see that. those two were a great combo
Shouting out to Crow Crow, wishing you the best with your recovery brother!! Sending positive vibes your way man.
J, thanks for watching this film bro for Xmas time. It's such a good film and I loved your reactions to it.
That song in that party scene is 'Do You Wanna Funk?' by SYLVESTER! Sylvester (his last name that he never used was James.) Sylvester was a major, (more like GIGANTICLY epic) Disco artist roughly five years before this movie was made and was STILL alive in 1983!
The trans inventor of disco in my book!
...and Yes, That was Paul Gleason from the Breakfast Club...often casted as unlikable characters. The cast of Breakfast Club spoke very highly of him though and how helpful he was as he had more acting experience than the entire cast combined.
Beaks was also the Captain or whatever in Die Hard. He plays smarmy pretty good.
Yeah, I like that in 'Loaded Weapon 1" he's kinda playing the same dickish character he always does for his brief cameo.
"Captain"? _Deputy Chief_ Dwayne T. Robinson! 😋
@@mark_p300 Okay D-Waynnne! 😂
10:35 $1 in 1983 had the buying power of $2.99 in 2022, so $80,000 × 2.99 = about 240,000 per year.
Not bad for a starting level salary. Plus he gets a house and clothes and a car and a personal valet at no cost and with utilities and dining expenses covered, so that becomes some really good pay.
It's so wonderful to return back to this vivid and vivifying community! Merry Christmas all! Blessings to J, Blank, and the Hounds Of Love.
Dan Aykroyd left SNL in 1979, Murphy joined in 1980. Lol I knew you were going to lose it at the end when Mortimer says f#%k him!
Trivia: John Landis directed this, Coming to America and The Blues Brothers. The butler, played by Denholm Elliott, played Brody in the first and third Indiana Jones films; he ran the museum. And Jamie Lee Curtis has been married to the same man since the 80's: Christopher Guest, the actor and director. He played the six-fingered man in The Princess Bride. On a side note, Prince Humperdink in that film was played by Chris Sarandon who also played Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
So glad you did this. One of my top 5 of all time. It's great to see Jay really crack up 🤣
Eddie was on snl after Dan. He was on a 4 year stint where lorne Michaels wasn't producer. Also the cross eyeed guy on the train is former Senator Al Franken. Love the content, man. Murder whistle! Hawks comin! Bundle it tight!!!!!
