"Just be yourself sir, whatever happens they can't take that away from you"-Coleman was an excellent character.
He’s one of my favourite characters. Anyone who has worked in the service industry can understand what he’s going through. That simple line reveals how much his job had his dignity stripped away by the Dukes. My other favourite line: “EGGNOG”? 😅
Denholm Elliott was such an underrated character actor. Obviously great comic relief in Indiana Jones but could switch between the comedy and the serious with ease. He was very good in Zulu Dawn.
Great line
@@m.e.3862 I love that line as well. And HE is the one whos says "Or unless someone beats them to it"
There's an hour-long film from the '70s called "The Strange Csse of the End of Civilisation As We Know It," starring John Cleese as Arthur S. Holmes (Sherlock's grandson) and Denholm Elliott as the head of Scotland Yard. Pretty funny, though there are a few cringey racial stereotypes, and some references to '70s cop shows that might go over people's heads today.
Now you have to see Coming to America with Eddie. There is a reference to this film in it, although it is not a sequel. It is a classic in my opinion, I know you will love it
One of my favourite movies. Saw it 40yrs ago and am dismayed that in 2023 some things haven’t changed. We’re still subject to the whims of rich a-holes. Even more now than back then it seems.
I don't think it'll change either.
Bless the rich!!😮
This has always been a favorite. A great movie. And as others have alluded to, it had a few famous people in supporting roles.
-The Dukes (Ralph Bellamy & Don Ameche) were famous American actors from the 40s-70s.
- Giancarlo Esposito was one of the cellmates in jail
- Frank Oz (famous Mupeteer) as the bald cop
- Bo Diddley (famous guitar legend) was the pawn broker
- Jim Belushi was the original gorilla costume guy
- Al Franken (future U.S. Senator) was one of the drunk bag handlers
- The Dukes floor broker was another Mupeteer
- And of course Denholm Eliot most people know as Marcus Brody in the Indiana Jones movies.
That's the name I couldn't think of. Giancarlo Esposito.
The scene in the restaurant when everyone stops what they're doing to hear what Valantine has to say, is a hat-tip to the E.F. Hutton commercials of the time. I think that every one of them can be found on UA-cam.
Coming to America was made after and has a small connection to this movie. Watch that Eddie movie immediately.
Jamie Lee Curtis - "A fish called Wanda", "True Lies", "Halloween" to mention a few
Everything Everywhere All At Once!!! The Bear, Freaky Friday (remake with Lindsay Lohan), You Again (with Sigourney Weaver and Kristen Bell).
The good guys sold a lot of OJ orders when the price was high, then when the price started plummeting, they bought the OJ contracts to cover what they had already sold.
1. The booking officer is Frank Oz. (various Muppets/Yoda)
2. Beeks/Paul Gleason also played Richard Vernon in "The Breakfast Club" and the idiot assistant 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.
Wow. That was Yoda !
😂Great point. We didn't even see him get all those drugs
Number 6. Not saying that he did, but once he got the gun (whether it works or not...and this one didn't) he can get the drugs. He just has to be willing to risk that whomever he held up wasn't armed with one that actually worked. But, wait, that would be unlawful! Well, his appearance at the Christmas party involved enough felonies to put him away forever. So, yeah, a little far fetched, but feasible that he bought a defective gun for $50 and just started robbing the locals. It's comedy. 😆
He is the voice of Miss Piggy too.
If you haven’t seen them, a couple of good Jamie Lee Curtis flicks are “A Fish Called Wanda,” with John Cleese and set in the UK; and “True Lies,” an action comedy with Schwarzenegger.
🔔 RI, TRIVIA @ 30:24: EDDIE WAS PARODYING GEOFFREY HOLDER, A THEN-FAMOUS COMMERCIAL SPOKESMAN FOR "7UP THE UNCOLA NUT" WHO WAS ALSO IN THE JAMES BOND MOVIE "LIVE AND LET DIE"
This is one of my top 3 all-time favorite movies. I watch it every time I see it on the guide on tv.
Love this movie! Really enjoyed your reaction to it!
$80,000 in 1983 = $254,371 now. That's a tasty starting salary.
The $42,000 that she had saved would be, $133,545.
And the $394,000,000 that's the Dukes lost would be $1,252,779,178 today.
The cop who found the PCP in Wimthorp's pocket was Frank Oz, the voice of Miss Piggy and Yoda.
The pawn broker was legendary blues guitarist, Bo Diddly.
The shorter of the two guys handling the gorilla on the train was comedian Al Franken, who later went on the become a U.S. Senator from the state of Minnesota.
A few more John Landis joints you guys should check out...
The Blues Brothers, with Danny Akroyd and John Belushi.
Also, An American Wherewolf in London!
Animal House, also with Belushi.
1941, yet another Landis/Belushi film.
Wow. That's a big loss. It might have been less if they hadn't been paying just the minimum wage and handing out $5 bonuses 😂
Oh my = hiw dies one compute the "cash back then soon quicky"?
R u a RainMan?❤
Jamie Lee Curtis was in several HALLOWEEN movies, and was also in TRUE LIES.
A classic! Thanks for all your great content this year!
🔔 IR, Trivia @ 39:36, estimates vary because of incomplete information provided by the movie but one educated guesstimate is that they made roughly $250,000,000 ($784M today), so each presumably got an equal share of about $62,500,000 ($196M today).
😱
Nice Choice. Great Pick. Thanks!
Another great 1980s movie in the same vein, is "Spies Like Us". A silly spy romp.
BTW: to highlight how Dark (pardon pun), the Abstract Inversion most won't believe occurs between:
Yin)
The Gorilla and it's new mate, Beeks in gorilla costume.
Yang)
Valentine and his old friend in BLACKFACE, Louis.
Valentine (love?) as an African student.
Gorilla and his new love heading to...Africa.
Bowfinger starring Murphy and Steve Martin is the last funny Murphy movie made. Directed by Frank Oz, the cop in this movie going through Aykroyd’s belongings, also known as the voice of Yoda and Miss Piggy and other muppets….also directed Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, another great one starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine.
Dolemite is My Name is great, and he's really funny in it.
On their way to work, the Dukes made $1,000,000 more in today's money. The $80,000/yr salary that they paid Valentine is about $250,000 in today's money.
Now you guys have to watch Coming to America!
The thing with Jamie Lee Curtis in the lederhosen. Apparently the wardrobe department had already bought the clothes for the four of them in the train scene, but it turned out that Jamie Lee couldn’t do an Austrian accent.
🤣🤣🤣
You are ready to watch Coming to America now.
I think this story was originally done in the 1930's with The Three Stooges.
🔔 RI, TRIVIA @ 27:29: THEY NEVER EXPLAINED WHAT HER "BIG SURPRISE" WAS!
Oh yehhh😂. I'm assuming it was a big Christmas dinner. What else ?
@@RamblersInc Who knows?
Fun fact: Mortimer's one liner "F him" after his "brother" fell down had a tiny problem, the actor was Catholic, so it was hard for him to say the "F" word, so what happened is, they did it in only one take and no more... were you thinking of "The Parent Trap" both 50s and 90s?
And he nailed the line 😂
Hmm. I think it might have been Parent Trap
I also don't recall another film with this type of "trading places" storyline where 2 people were forced to trade places by a nefarious narcissistic outside force. Most of the other people-swapping films involve some kind of magical element making the character younger/older or swap bodies from some magical wish fulfillment.
Yeh, we don't get movies like this now.
Loved the reaction.
Great reaction, guys 😊👍!!! I think that, when they got on the train and were swapping briefcases, they actually planned it the way it went, being just cheesy enough to make him become suspicious. I think they WANTED Beeks to see them do the last swap, because that SOLD him on thought that they were TRYING to get it ... but they had already done so and swapped out the report at that time. So, whatever he got back, he would think he caught them BEFORE the swap (i.e. before they could get away with it). However, since they had already done the deed, it wouldn't've mattered which briefcase he got back, because NEITHER of them had the REAL report ... it's possible that BOTH of had false reports in them. IDK, just thinking out loud ...
like a double bluff swap kind of thing
@@RamblersInc Yeah, exactly !!!
OK JLC impress this performance in your mind , solid. Now go watch Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. I clearly remember my Mom coming home from watching this movie laughing over the perfection of JLC costumes. They were perfection. My first job was in a stock brokerage and I still, to this day, dont understand commodity future trading even after watching this tutorial so many times (LOL). Correction on other post, Frank Oz was not Kermit, he was Fozzie and Miss Piggy
The retelling of the Prince and the Pauper. A very young Eddie Murphy and a fairly unknown Jim Belushi. Frank Oz, the voice of Yoda and Kermit the Frog, is the police officer booking Lewis.
Believe it or not they did learn how the trade pits worked to make the scene as realistic as possible.
Another freaky movie showing them at the World Trade Center at the end in a post 9/11 world.
Absolutely
There’s 69 Likes (NICE) and I don’t want to ruin that. I’ll be back later. 👍🏾😂
🤣
147, now that’s okay. 👌🏾
great movie
I am also a "karate man".
"Karate man bruise on the inside" 😂
One of the darkest comedies in modern films.
One of my top 5 pre-9/11 foreshadowers.
An Abstract Inversion of Coming to America AND King Kong.
It even foretells the career ruination of Minnesota Senator Al Franken, who plays on of the baggage handlers.
Hollywood went down far into their depths with this puppy.
Oh yeah, Yoda returns as the police property clerk booking Dan Ackroyd
That was YODA? !
@@RamblersInc Frank Oz.
Also made a similar appearance in John Landis'previous work, The Blues Brothers.
Where Oz listed John Belushi's outgoing personal items.
The inside joke surrounding a property/inventory clerk is (my opinion) based on Yoda's endearing rifling through Luke Skywalker's belongings when they first meet in The Empire Strikes Back
@@RamblersInc one (of many) pre-9/11 clues occurs when Louis and Valentine arrive at the World Trade Center. (TRADING Places?).
As their cab arrives, it's number reads "110".
Down below on the door the numbers:
$1.00...1/9.
10¢...1/9.
When u reverse them:
9/1..1.00.
9/1...10.
They exit cab where Louis then says:
"Nothing you have ever experienced can prepare you for the unbridled carnage you're about to witness..."
among a few other noteworthy statements, as he and Valentine walk directly below the towers.
Also keep in mind the powerful Duke brothers who fell in the pits.
Dark comedy?
As Mortimer is fond of saying...
"Indeed!"
@@RamblersInc I watched The Blues Brothers in the theater twice at age 7 and highly recommend it.
Based on Belushi and Ackroyd's 70s Saturday Night Live skit characters
@@RamblersInc if I could do-so without placing my life in danger, I'd publish definitive material titled:
'The Day America Died...
How Hollywood KNEW, and lied!!'
Dan Ackroyd and Jamie Lee did another movie together sometime after this one. It it titled "My Girl". Dan runs a funeral home, and he hires Jamie Lee Curtis to do hair/makeup on the deceased in his care. This is a feel good movie.
The Macaulay Culkin one ?
There are a couple parts of this movie that... are not great, in retrospect (see: Dan Aykroyd in blackface as the main cringe moment), but man do I love this movie. Also: if you guys are not aware, one of the two baggage handlers (the shorter one) is Al Franken, who was a long time SNL performer who later became a US Senator for 10 years before some allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced and he resigned. Before then, he was a pretty widely respected senator, at least in part because he's extremely intelligent and articulate so he obviously did well in front of the mic.
Yeh I don't think you'd be able to get away with it now especially with social media, but he nailed the accent. Also....did they need to do all that just to steal the briefcase ? 🤣
