Man do I miss the good old school comedy movies like these. Stuff like "The Great Outdoors", "Christmas Vacation", "Planes Trains and Automobiles". Movies now just don't have that kind of classic funny feel to them. Now you watch them once and really have no desire to see it again.
Interesting how Winthorpe evolved from such prejudices of a rich socialite to hugging Billy Ray in the end. This after finding out how he's been living with self-centred piranhas his whole life.
Love how the African American cop is cracking up. You can tell he’s legit laughing at Eddie lol guarantee they had to film this scene several times due to Eddie Murphy’s jokes and improvisation 🤣😂
I was with the Green Beret Special Unit Battalion Commando Airborne Tactics Specialists Tactics Unit Battalion, it was real hush-hush. I was Agent Orange, that was my name Agent Orange, Specialist Agent Orange, that was me!
You know Winthorpe brought all this karma upon himself by assuming that the poor guy who bumped into him wanted to rob him, though he tried giving him back the briefcase and apologizing.
True he had his prejudices for the lower class, similar to the Dukes. But his time with Ophelia, and making peace with Valentine, helped straighten him out.
Pre-9/11 when someone made such claims they were usually laughed at and considered losers. Post-9/11 in the paranoid fear based society people get hung up primarily because of fear. The system which only works because of the people fears for its future. So a sort of gung ho hostility towards anyone or anything perceived rightly or wrongly to threaten it has become the norm. The people of the 80s were not less patriotic but they could take a joke ironically while living with the fear of nuclear war. These days fear and paranoia are actually worse and people cling to their base values because they don't know what to believe anymore.
This film came out 40 years ago, and I’m sure I must have laughed just as hard then, as I did today.. 40 years from now, people will still be laughing..
Hilarious move but in it were a lot of social issues. Funny how after billy ray collided w winthorpe, the butler, who saw the entire thing, attacks valentine even though he was trying to give back the briefcase. Also, the cops on the corner saw it as well, yet they arrested him anyway. A perfect example of how innocent people end up in prison.
Stfu. It's a comedy!!! Just enjoy it as shown, and stop trying to read a bunch of politically correct BS into it. Is everyone so programmed to see everything through a WOKE lens that you can't just laugh at something silly and leave it at that ?.
@@SeaDrive300 I hate people who say 💩 like this. There are university scholars devoted to disecting every nuance of fictional plots/fictional characters in classic literature - what's the big difference when people do the same thing with movies & characters???
@@tabhunter8775 and, your point??🤣🤣🤣 CZcams has a comment section specifically for discusssion, man! Why do YOU care so much what others talk about?! How does discussing the characters in a movie effect YOU?? Get a life :)
To add further comedy to this scene, Eddie Murphy was born in April, 1961 and the Vietnam War ended exactly 14 years later in April, 1975, hence, Murphy would have too young to be in the military at any point of the Vietnam War as it was happening. LOL!!!!
Another thing that doorman was a sellout he knew damn well it was an accident that Billy bumped into Louis, but at the same time it was the best thing to happen to him cause he got rich and didn’t have to be a con man anymore
I never knew he said bitch. I only saw the edited version my parents recorded off of tv back in the 80s. The edited word they used was pig. Even to this day I'd quote that line...we can make it baby...me and you...you pig. I feel so cheated.
All the fake Nam vets claim they were all over Vietnam and usually special forces. This scene hits home for all the real vets who were in country. Know how to spot a fake, stolen valor is a crime!!!
Masterpiece of scriptwriters. Accolades to Eddie!
*Special Unit Battalion Commando Airborne Tactics Specialist Tactics Unit Battalion*
I heard those dudes were no joke.
@@robwalsh9843 lol
It was a “hush-hush” unit.
And orange agent 😁😁😁🇬🇭do you want a man without legs u'll never bk 😁I know what you thinking
Lol
This scene was probably the most re-enacted one by my gang. We used to laugh so much at the "I have legs" line.
When you say "gang", you mean you and your mum, right?

No kidding. They don't even have entertaining music when somebody's being chased like this scene does

Good comment,worth a lot more likes.👊
All these rich mfers goin to find out in the end that they can't take all their ill-gotten riches with them....
Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd work so well together in this movie best comedy film
SNL 1st and 2nd generation 😃

Why dont you just say black?
@@gjorgji9339Because they’re special and should be treated differently than other races because of equality.

Airborne, huh?
2 funny
@@ryanshah467 No, it was in Sang Bang!
Saw this as a lil kid, still kills me everytime
It isn’t officially Christmas until this movie is on tv!
I swear I say the same thing!!!!
Home allone, too
I love this movie but some people think it's becoming more politically incorrect. Sad.
Hell yes!! It’s got Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all rolled up into one fantastic Holiday movie.
Fun fact, the doorman is actually Robert earl jones, father of james earl jones
I wonder if his conversational voice is anything like his son's?
Oh wow! Great catch. Thanks.
Woah that’s pretty cool I never knew that
So…technically he’s Luke Skywalker’s grandfather!
I was in sang bang, dang gong. - I love this scene !
"Is there a problem officers?" became the catch phrase for a zillion people on film and off.
My personal favourite, "These aren't the droids you're looking for".
Did you get my post deleted?
Yea, but it was a phrase before.
Brilliant film.
Best comedy ever for me!
Dan Aykroyd is also excellent in this movie!
Especially in The Blues Brothers as well.👍
"You was in Nam so were we where were you? "I was in Sang bang Dang gong!" 😆😆😆
Sang Bang, Dang Gong LOL
😆😂😂😂😂
I lose it when he says that!! fuckin hilarious!!
I was there.
Chết tiệt, đó là nơi tôi đã học đại học !!
I was all over that place baby
UUUH I was in Sang-Bang Dane-Gong..I lose it every time when he says that!!
Until he stepped on that mine in Viet Cong.
LOL😂😂😂
So much character to these movies. Love the 80s comedies!
My favorite part of the whole movie
Billy Ray Valentine Classic!!
Agent Orange that was my name , agent orange.
One of the great comedies of our time.
"FIRST MOSES NOW THIS!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Eddie funny as hell boy
One of the best films ever, love it
You know Winthorpe brought all this karma upon himself by assuming that the poor guy who bumped into him wanted to rob him, though he tried giving him back the briefcase and apologizing.
Yeah, hell of an overreaction. You'd think a simple 'Hey! Watch where you're going!!' should have done.
True he had his prejudices for the lower class, similar to the Dukes. But his time with Ophelia, and making peace with Valentine, helped straighten him out.
Now if this happen in Philadelphia today, Winthorpe would have been robbed, beaten and possibly killed for that brief case, by a black at that.
I love this film. It is much more of a comedy for thinking people and not just stupid slap stick for dumb arses.
we can make it baby me n you
YOU BITCH!
@@t100base 😂😂😂😅
LMAOO!!!....you bitch!...gotta love Eddie Murphy
You pig
That's what I thought it was for years, then realized I only ever saw the edited version for tv.
That was Ola Ray from Michael Jackson's Thriller video
Looking back from 2021, this is the funniest Stolen Valor case...

@@florinivan6907 …very well put my friend! 👍🏻👊🏻
Notice how his so call best friends didn't even help 😅
I feel cold watching this scene
Eddie at his best
Can’t believe that he was in his early twenties when he made his debut movie in Hollywood for the first time ever but he killed it
That Officer dug his way out of Oz!
Busmalis
This is when Eddie Murphy was actually funny! 😀
He's said in interviews that this was the last movie he had fun making.
You're an idiot, he's always funny
Yeah? Im still trying to find the time when u were actually funny...
he's still got it - see czcams.com/video/whfQf3Pd5bU/video.html
what about Beverly Hills cop
Best part of the movie and the jail scene.
Word up! 🤣😂😭…
Quart of blood technique
Looks down... I can see!!
This film came out 40 years ago, and I’m sure I must have laughed just as hard then, as I did today.. 40 years from now, people will still be laughing..
Pure Richard Prior. But still fantastic Eddie Murphy!
Lol we can make it baby .. BITCH!
One Amazing Christmas Movie ☃️
Happy Birthday to the great & hilarious Eddie Murphy 😄
That black cop wanted to laugh so bad he almost couldn't hold it in at 1:05
clueless

The police were there for him anyways they boxed him in. Not like he was getting away
Also commentary on the Rich and the Wall Street, trading etc.
I thought it was so unrealistic for someone to act like that, but now we have cellphone videos.

Welcome to amerikkka
First moses ,now this
Dan Ackroyd as "Male Karen" and the Doorman as Stephen from Django the 5th 😆😆😆
2:39 Excelent choice in music! Anyone know what it's called?
I always questioned why he was still holding onto the briefcase if he didn’t want it
It was in the script. You're not actually trying to psychoanalyze a movie character, are you?

Back in the days when officers carried 38's and wooden knight sticks
Zang bang.... Agent orange 😂😂😂
Louis Wiinthorpe III was the 80's version of a male Karen.
The greatest comedy film ever made. I challenge anyone to disagree...
1000 percent! I say this to anyone who will listen.
If u watch some of his earlier movies you can almost see some of his material from SNL
Same writers
Eddie Murphy is Hilarious 😂
♥️
I am screaming out loud....all these years later🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a comedy, so Billy Ray gets to live. Thank goodness!
This was a great movie,, eddy was amazing

Eddy Murphy great police
I also love his old SNL skit of James Brown's celebrity hot tub.
I'm here because of Mariah's song Giving Me Life
That's how cops act like when you talk and interact with them
Only when you're disturbing the peace.
eddie murphy was born this role is so great
Now a days there’s be a riot, the cops
Wouldn’t even chase him, and Winthorp would of been blasted all over social media as a racist
*Agent Orange is one Funny Guy... HaHaHaHa :)*
I love this film. It's a barrel of laughs.
Love it!
Just listening to Eddie Murphy is too funny
Def Squad "Full Cooperation" Brought Me Here
I was a door gunner on a Cobra in Tin Can Vietnam and all over the jungle too!
I was agent Orange
Me: hey look it's

so fuuny maN
Me all the time watchin this : 😊
Airforce yet he stepped on a mine on the ground lmaoo💀💀💀
It’s “Airborn”, not airforce.
"Is there a lawyer in the house?"
One of the best film..)
Agent Orange = "Airborne" chemicals this sh*t is priceless!
Billy Ray ain’t never been in the shit. He thinks “the bad bush” is between ol’ mama-san’s legs.
What an amazing funny film it was. 👏🇬🇧🤣😂👌😀
Lol. Reminds me of da nang Blumenthal. 😂😂

i used to feel sorry for windthorpe then i watched this part again
I was laughing my ass off the ending of this movie lol!! 🤣🤣🤣
Nice looking lady.
What a comedic giant!
