I really enjoyed "48 Hrs." Both Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy were great together. Murphy was especially hilarious and Nolte was a rough and tough badass cop. There could not have been a better matched pair!
Fun Fact: 4 of the actors in this movie were in The Warriors; David Patrick Kelly, James Remar, Sonny Landham, who was the police officer in The Warriors that hit Ajax in the gut with the night stick in the park when Ajax was arrested and being handcuffed to the bench and the actor who played Rembrandt, the guy in the parking garage where Luther goes to get the car.
I always thought it was just Eddie Murphy Twirling the handcuffs on his index finger as to say I got out of your cuffs and Nick Nolte looking surprised that he escaped from the cuffs
I was serving my 1st National Guard summer camp when I seen this movie. It had just came out. One hell of movie! I've watched it more times than I can count. It is the perfect mix of action and comedy.
I really like how 48 Hours turned out, but now I think I'd have also liked an Eastwood/Pryor version. Eastwood had already proven he could handle Action/Comedy with Any Which Way But Loose, and Pryor really had some comedic chops as well - and certainly wasn't adverse to doing some adlibs either.
Thank goodness they casted Eddie Murphy, I feel he has a lot more versatility in his acting than Richard Pryor does, I was convinced of that when I saw superman III
At my old house, we used to have a 48 Hrs Poster hanging in our TV room when I was a kid long before I was old enough to watch 48 Hrs! It was the first poster you showed us with a Cigar in Eddie Murphy's mouth! Once I was old enough to watch it, I really liked what I saw! It had a great story, great action scenes, and some comedy scenes that made me laugh and giggle! Not only was Eddie Murphy funny but Nick Nolte was really funny too, especially during the scenes where they're punching each other! Also I couldn't stop laughing and giggling at the scene where Frank McRae, who was Sharky in the James Bond movie Licence To Kill, goes on a profanity laced tirade towards Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy! 48 Hrs is a great movie!
I remember when Nick was scheduled to appear on Saturday night live, to promote the movie. But Eddie had to take his place, because Nick was drunk when he got off the plane. And Eddie told the story live, on television that night. Haha
"Beating 50 shades of shit out of each other" Minty I have never quite heard it put that way b4 but it works! Will always b one of my all time favorite movies. Great vid! L8r.
I love this movie! Eddie Murphy is a riot in this film. Murphy revealed that Nick Nolte was drunk during their promotion of the film and couldn't come on The Johnny Carson Show and SNL.
Nick Nolte was perfect as Cates and his & Eddie's chemistry was great. But I never would've guessed Eddie was only 19 when they started filming. IMO, he looked at least 26.
9:22 "Where Murphy is flipping Nolte the bird." If you look closely you can see it's actually his index finger that has the handcuffs around them, not his middle finger.
Freebie And The Bean, from 1974, is still the best cop buddy movie, to me. Lots of crazy action & lots of laughs. And, the best car crash scene ever. Anyone, who's seen it, knows what scene I'm talking about. Lol
I haven't seen the Movie in years, but didn't they at least the Nick Nolite Character seemed to like the REgge Character at the end. He said he was the Best Partner he ever had, let him have sex with some girl before he locked him up, etc.
Well many 80s action movies were fun, but most were crap and only the good ones are really remembered. And even 48hrs (which is undoubtly among the good ones) starts after 40 years to look somewhat dated. It's still fun and watchable, but ... Tbh, Movies like the John Wick series or Den of Thieves are undoubtedly superior to most of their 80s brothers in spirit. Also did Walter Hill make some impressive movies in the 70s (Hard Times, The Warriors, Driver).
One of the best of the buddy cop genre. Love Nolte's gruff no nonsense cop. The scene where he tells Murphy he'll take him somewhere nice to get some dinner, and then ends up at a candy vending machine is hysterical. What this movie demonstrates, like city slickers and so many others, is that not every movie needs a sequel. Instead they should have paired Nolte and Murphy in a completely different movie playing completely different types of characters. Surprised you didn't do more information on Sonny Landham who played one of the villains. He's an interesting footnote on film history to be certain.
I love how Jonathan Banks and James Remar would go on to do “Dexter” even though Banks was only in two episodes. He will always be Mike Ehrmantraut to me.
@@frankschneider6156 Remar definitely played a great villain, but he could do the action hero role fairly well too. He was pretty badass in Quiet Cool.
LOL Haha right! I do remember watching Beverly Hills Cop over and over and over again on summer break eventually being able to recite the entire movie word for word. My brother and I were like parrots im sure our parents hated it.

I love this movie. It jump started the careers of Eddie Murphy as an actor and Joel Silver as a producer and even pioneered the buddy cop genre. We wouldn’t even have Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour or Tango & Cash if it wasn’t for 48 Hrs.
The police captain (Frank McRae) was absolutely hilarious in this film. He actually reprised this role in at least two comedies afterward: Loaded Weapon Last Action Hero Here’s what I’m talking about lol: ua-cam.com/video/YXNLXLt8LIs/v-deo.html
Phil Chadwick that’s a interesting comment. Pryor said “i never really connected to Eddie. I found his comedy to be too mean” Murphy says he’s influenced by Pryor but i never saw it. The only thing he took from Pryor in my opinion was his cursing not his vulnerability.
Hugh Jassel that never would’ve happened. Eddie had love and support from his family and was very clear bout where he wanted to go. Everyone thought cuz he was young and famous he would fall into the Prinze, Pryor, Belushi burnout types. He surprised a lot of people. Belushi and Robin Williams offered Eddie cocaine back in the 80s and Eddie declined. Belushi called Eddie a “tight ass”. And yet, Belushi and Williams are gone. Eddie is still alive and well.
lurch321 oh ok. I got u. No. Pryor came along at a time when the country was goin through a lot of changes. His comedy reflected the times. By the time Eddie came along, there was no reason for his comedy to be deep and dark. The 80s were a much lighter time compared to today or the 70s. Hence the type of humor he did. Another thing is, Pryor’s personal screwups were great for his comedy. His true gift was takin pain and makin it funny. Burning up, having a heart attack, drowning in a pool, marital problems, getting punished by your father, etc. are not funny things. He made them funny.
@@ghanasoul Nice quote from Pryor there. I always thought Pryor had a warmth to him, an everyman quality, and I always wanted him to do well. Murphy always came across as mean to me. From what I understand about his behind the camera persona, I can understand that.
I might be remembering this wrong from my youth but does anyone remember there being some backlash to the poster where he is giving the finger to the viewer? I think I only saw this once in the 80's or 90's and was like woah lol
Other than "They Live" starring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Keith David, the street fight with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy has got to be a close second for best street fight scene in a movie.

We did not get the 2nd movie poster with Murphy flipping off the audience here in the USA. That would NEVER have been allowed. We got the 1st one with the cuffs and the city lights behind them. And Murphy is not flipping Nick the bird in that poster - the cuff is hanging around his index finger not his middle finger.
I've always wanted a 3rd installment! I'd love to see Nolte and Murphy return for one last pairing as long as there was a great storyline! I love both movies but feel that the second was just slightly better. Perhaps there's hope that whatever reboot is planned can actually bring these two back together one last time!
@@paulbirkbeck1790 he's still acting though despite not quite having the same size but it would still be cool if they could do something one more time before they all get too old.
I was introduced to R-Rated movies when I was 15, I walked out of the movie “ Krull” one day and snuck in to the next theater that was showing 48 Hours and was blown away. PG movies were a thing of the past. Movies of the ‘80s were yet to come
We could of had Clint Eastwood & Richard Pryor instead of Nick Nolte & Eddie Murphy. We also could of had 1984's "City Heat" type movie bomb that had Eastwood & Burt Reynolds as stars. Eastwood "comedies" don't do that well unless his co-star "is a dam ape".
Walter Hill smashed it with the Warrior's, 48 hours and Southern comfort over a 4 year period the dude was on fire. Red heat and Undisputed are also top notch!
I remember watching Another 48 Hours first then I watched 48 hours...I thought the sequel was pretty good. I like the part where Eddie Murphy is sitting on the bus and the guy on the motorcycle start shooting at him. That's a pretty cool scene. And the main villain on 48 hours is Harry from Dexter that played Dexter's dad and he did a phenomenal job on that show.
To try and promote this film, Nick Nolte was slated to host "Saturday Night Live" on December 11, 1982. However, he got sick beforehand and was unable to host, so Eddie Murphy, still being a cast member at the time, had to step in for him. This gave him the distinction of the only person to host SNL while being part of the cast at the same time.
Types of films Hollywood should be making classics like this get the film industry back to the way it should be fun and non PC and non woke give us memorable characters and fun dialogue please Hollywood!
I took a girl on a date to see a double feature. It was 48 Hours and Trading Places. TWO Eddie Murphy movies back to back. We had a BLAST. Eddie Murphy was great in BOTH movies and the rest of the casts were awesome TOO.
I’ve loved 48hrs. ever since I first saw it back in 1982!! Nolte & Murphy are perfect together.... everything about this movie is top notch - from the direction to music! Thanks for the great video!
I always wonder why Eddie Murphy is shown giving the middle finger, my VHS and DVD covers do not show him doing that, not even on Part II! And on your comment about giving the finger to Nick Nolte on the first poster, if you take a moment and look at it, that is not Murphy's middle finger... that is his index finger.
Yes there were other "buddy cop movies" before 48 Hours, but the other films were straight faced dramas. 48 Hours was "comedy-drama" mix. Generally we associate buddy cop movies with humorous interactions between the lead characters mixed with dramatic story lines, like Lethal Weapon & Bad Boys etc. So on that note it was the 2nd one after Freebie & The Bean (1974)
"Class isn't something you buy. Look at you, you've got on a 500-dollar suit and you're still a low-life."
This line rings so much truth today!
Well he had on a cheap ass suit and still looked like a bummy alcoholic asshole
You can put gold on a turd and, not only will it still be a turd, it might end up as a prize on a video game for collecting all of a certain item.
“Yeah but I look good!”
That's his *index finger* in the left movie poster. You can clearly see his other 3 fingers to the right of it.
I was just realizing this myself. Eddies impression with his index was like don't mess with me as suppose to F U buddy.

@@lovenotwar598 Sonny Landham was in "The Warriors". Just not in the scene involving James Remar.
They were both directed by Walter Hill.
The movie launched Eddie Murphy's career and probably saved Nick Nolte's career.
@Prairiedoggen I would add Trading Place to those two movies. The one problem I have with Eddie Murphy is he's the same character in every movie.
Lol 1st poster is Murphy forming a pistol with his hand. 2nd one he's definetly flipping us off

This pairing seemed the most natural out of most "buddy films" imo.

@@paulbirkbeck1790 he's still acting though despite not quite having the same size but it would still be cool if they could do something one more time before they all get too old.
@@michaelmartin4816 i agree murphy and nolte were on fire together and one last outing would be a blast
I love this movie!
Same Eddie Murphy was funny in it
This kind of movies cannot be made today, or rather it can but 1000% sanitized to not hurt sensitivities.
I was introduced to R-Rated movies when I was 15, I walked out of the movie “ Krull” one day and snuck in to the next theater that was showing 48 Hours and was blown away. PG movies were a thing of the past. Movies of the ‘80s were yet to come
We could of had Clint Eastwood & Richard Pryor instead of Nick Nolte & Eddie Murphy.
We also could of had 1984's "City Heat" type movie bomb that had Eastwood & Burt Reynolds as stars. Eastwood "comedies" don't do that well unless his co-star "is a dam ape".
Murphy is one of the best comedian's to have ever lived.
Walter Hill smashed it with the Warrior's, 48 hours and Southern comfort over a 4 year period the dude was on fire.
Red heat and Undisputed are also top notch!

I don't know what your smiling at watermelon!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember watching Another 48 Hours first then I watched 48 hours...I thought the sequel was pretty good. I like the part where Eddie Murphy is sitting on the bus and the guy on the motorcycle start shooting at him. That's a pretty cool scene. And the main villain on 48 hours is Harry from Dexter that played Dexter's dad and he did a phenomenal job on that show.
In now Paramount is known for making crappy movies. Except for Sonic the hedgehog.
To try and promote this film, Nick Nolte was slated to host "Saturday Night Live" on December 11, 1982. However, he got sick beforehand and was unable to host, so Eddie Murphy, still being a cast member at the time, had to step in for him. This gave him the distinction of the only person to host SNL while being part of the cast at the same time.
I have to say, I love 48hrs and the sequel. I'm a sucker for the buddy cop movie anyway. Tango and Cash was awesome...
If you try to Google search "cop buddy movies," it'll say at the top of the screen: "showing results for buddy cop movies."
Types of films Hollywood should be making classics like this get the film industry back to the way it should be fun and non PC and non woke give us memorable characters and fun dialogue please Hollywood!
*Minty Comedic Arts* very nice and execelt video 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 I LOVE THIS
I took a girl on a date to see a double feature. It was 48 Hours and Trading Places. TWO Eddie Murphy movies back to back. We had a BLAST. Eddie Murphy was great in BOTH movies and the rest of the casts were awesome TOO.
Great 80s action. Nolte was badass. Murphy crossed over to a action. The two actors worked great together.
Hey Minty
You should do a top ten list of the best movie posters with their alternate and one with the 10 worst with alternates
Is cop buddy a thing? I have always heard buddy cop. Also, Eastwood and Pryor!!
I’ve loved 48hrs. ever since I first saw it back in 1982!! Nolte & Murphy are perfect together.... everything about this movie is top notch - from the direction to music! Thanks for the great video!
11:02, Krull was released in 1983, but I see what you mean.
That's interesting about Gregory Hines, because he ended up doing running scared, which to some consider the first official buddy cop film.
I actually liked the sequel better than the original. I dont know what Minty is talking about it being stale.
I always wonder why Eddie Murphy is shown giving the middle finger, my VHS and DVD covers do not show him doing that, not even on Part II! And on your comment about giving the finger to Nick Nolte on the first poster, if you take a moment and look at it, that is not Murphy's middle finger... that is his index finger.
Good Morning Minty! 😎
still night time in Frankston.
He's in Australia, not Vietnam. Although I guess he also likes he smell of Napalm in the morning.
Yes there were other "buddy cop movies" before 48 Hours, but the other films were straight faced dramas. 48 Hours was "comedy-drama" mix. Generally we associate buddy cop movies with humorous interactions between the lead characters mixed with dramatic story lines, like Lethal Weapon & Bad Boys etc. So on that note it was the 2nd one after Freebie & The Bean (1974)
48 Hours is a will good movie. Great job Minty!
13:51 for the hilarious "Murphy" stunt double! LMAO
Thank God that Eddie Murphy wasn't fired
Thank you for correcting the phrase "Cop Buddy" to "Buddy Cop" in the super throughout the video.
