Hey guys thanks heaps for all the feedback, it’s all welcome even the constructive criticism as that’s the best way to learn and grow. I’m noticing quite a few people in the comment section are not too happy with two words I got wrong in this video them being “Winthorpe” and “Pauper”. All I can say is when I make a video it’s never my intention to annoy anyone or ruin their day, it’s only my goal to try and entertain so apologies to those who were left a little annoyed. My difficulty is when I’m reading off a script and see a word I’m not too familiar with, even if I know the name by spoken sound, when I’m reading it my brain still sometimes gets scrambled and confused with pronouncing the words. I would put this down to my autism but that would be a cop out, so I’m going to work harder to familiarise my words from now on and if I still struggle then I just won’t use the words, for example instead of getting a character’s name wrong I’ll just say “Dan Akroyd’s character” as not to upset anyone or coming off looking silly. Thanks heaps for your time and patients and I’ll do better in the future. Stay fresh and the best is still to come :)
Good man Minty...., I concur with some of the criticisms of the factual content but at the end of the day your producing something that 99.9% of the population either can't or can't be arsed to do, so do as Bruce Lee says “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”. Also, just fact checked the Academy award bit for JLC. It was actually a British Academy Award (apols if someone else has already raised this). JLC and Denholm Elliott both got one, which is pretty amazing. Keep up the good work
All good mate , you must be from Sth Australia too 🤙🇦🇺
@@RR-qv8uz Nope, Manchester, England
You’re anything but annoying! I LOVE your videos! Thank for your hard work!!!
Thank you very much for all your efforts, I really enjoy to watch your channel. Big hug from your mexican fans!!!
Aykroyd's drunk Santa scene, when he was eating the fish through his beard... you can't unsee that.
Hilarious!
Gross!
I always love the hiss he does.
I agree with both Richard Bexborn and vxy357, it was hilarious and gross❗️ A very good movie that is fun to watch.
So disgusting it was perfect, depicting Louis’ rock bottom point in the movie!
There's a guy in my office named Louis, so I often greet him with "Looking good, Louis." And he replies "Feeling good, Todd."
Todd Gordon
Oh coarse, why wouldn’t you. Sounds like folks I’d hangout with.
😂
Except the proper reply is "Feeling good, Billy Ray!"
That is awesome
That's funny, as at work I often respond to someones help with a "thank you, Louis" in an albeit poor Eddie Murphy voice imitation. To this day, nobody has ever picked up on the reference, but it does bring a little smile to my face. I guess you could say I do it more for me.
Dear Minty, I'm Italian and I can happily confirm to you that "Trading Places", titled "Una Poltrona Per Due" in its dubbed version, is broadcast every single Christmas by Italian TV. It's been going on for so long now that everyone just expects that as a normal fixture of Christmas celebrations
THAT IS REALLY SAD !
I WONDER WHY ITALY IS SO MESSED UP ,I LOVE THE SHOW BUT CHRISTMAS NO NO NO
@@equalizertime188 It's s movie.
@@DrGregoryHouseIT I understand that but Romes Faith is falling apart and if we don't start changing our ways and influence we will all Fall!
ROME IS GOING TO FALL ITS PROPHECY
The Italians know what’s up! 👏 Bravo, my favorite Christmas movie. Everyone else’s is Die Hard or Christmas Story or something cheesy.
"Those men wanted to have sex with me" LMAO! He delivered that line with such realism... still one of the funniest damn moments in movie history.
It's a shame that Akroyd and Murphy haven't teamed up on another film, and surprising since this was a huge hit. One thing that film and muppet fans will notice is that the officer who "finds" the angel dust while doing an inventory of Akroyd's belongings is Frank Oz, a muppeteer, a competent director in his own right, and the voice of Yoda, Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, and a host of others.
And he was the one that gave back Jake's stuff in The Blues Brothers.
Spys like us he was in the exam scene.
@@stephenolan5539 that was Frank oz
@@thefilmsett
Yes he gave to Belushi and took from Ackroyd.
I think this was Dan's last hurrah, wasn't it? Can't recall anything else he was in after this.
The 2 brothers were also in Coming to America as beggars "Randall, we back"
A booyaka booyaka boo
Oh yeah! Is it just me, or was that kind of heartwarming and appreciated? I thought they kind of paid their dues in the intervening seven years :-)
I loved that bit!! Then they banged on the window where he had his date saying thank you and let's have lunch! Classic!
Yes, I remember that scene, lol. Minty, you should totally do a 10 Things You Didn't Know About Coming to America.
The only spinoff/sequel we would ever get lol
This film is such a masterpiece it’s hard to believe it wasn’t written and filmed precisely as is 💕
what? ever heard of the power of improv? do you know how many comedic movies adlib?
Jamie Lee Curtis looked absolutely smoking hot in this movie.
Her and the "Been waitin' for ya Billy Ray" girl early on!
We know lol🔥
You should swe her in a fish called wanda gggrrrrrr
JLC is Trans by the way....
Them titties!
i confirm!!!! here in Italy we deeply love this movie, here is called "una poltrona per due" and we waiting it each Christmas since decades. And this year will come as well!
Don't you mean watch
@@jsmith5212 you know what they mean. clearly that Italian person's first language is not English, but that was probably just a bad autocorrect.
Since you're Italian, I hope you can explain this, the titles in both French, and Italian, translate to An Armchair for Two in English, and I don't understand what the connection of 2 people trading places, and armchairs?
@@exquisitesplendor7175 ooh yup I can explain easily that, is a sort of metaphor, cause an "armchair" is a symbol of power in government way.. So divide that for 2 is a sort of way to say "both this guys will divide by themself a great power or a great fortune/ get a powerful position one by one and vicecersa" and yeah is basically what happens in the movie
Yup exactly
Winthorpe (strangling Valentine): "You're a dead man, Valentine!!"
Valentine (in choked voice): "It was the Dukes it was the Dukes!!"
ROTFLMAO
😄😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 killing me every time!
I forgot that line. Classic!
EDDIE Murphy doing that was making fun of Linda Blair character in a famous horror movie.
dem dukes in that time......nice catch
When we'd rent the VHS version of Trading Places back in the 80's, the parts where JLC takes her top off was always staticky from all the times it got paused and rewound.
My copy snapped and wrapped around the heads of my video recorder 📼
gold!
Same staticky experience for me, but was topless beach scenes in the movie Blame It On Rio.
Tape got statakil
Did you Guys Know That One Of The Guys That was In Jail With Eddie Murphy was a Young Giancarlo Esposito who went on to play Gus Fring in Breaking Bad
When did Murphy go to jail don't remember that what did he do??
I always wondered if that was him!
@@benconway9010 did you ever actually see the movie?
@@Viking_Luchador yes I have seen the film many times what's you're point???
@@benconway9010 and yet you forgot Valentine was arrested in the beginning of the film for attempting to "rob" Louis?

I just watched this movie a few weeks ago! I love it. I loved the cameo in Coming to America of Mortimer and Randolph. It was heartwarming and hope they learned their lesson.
I really enjoy your content.
It wasn’t the stock market. It was a Comex ring at the commodity markets at 4 World Trade.
There were no extras, most of the runners and brokers gladly came back on weekend for filming.
I knew it was a futures exchange but didn't realise the brokers etc were genuine!
Don't bother, dude. This guy doesn't care about facts. The amount of shit he gets wrong is unreal. He thought Curtis won an Oscar for this.
@Revelian1982
No one knows or cares who you are... except me. For about 10 seconds. You're welcome.
Richard Pryor must have been saying "I was supposed to be in that movie" when Trading Places beat out Superman III in the box office that year.
Well, when you set yourself on fire while freebasing, you're bound to need some time to.... Heal
The best movies were made in the 80's.
Think of the talent that were all in their primes for each genre--
Comedy: Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, John Candy
Action: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis
Adventure: Harrison Ford, Michael J. Fox
Just a legendary group of characters all the way from that decade. Truly was the BEST decade in terms of movies, music, and style, no doubt about it
@@RDSports5 Also the talent, the creativivity and imagination of the writers and directors at that time.
Villamor78
And early ‘90s but that’s just me. From late ‘70s to mid ‘90s actually. Before writers ran out of material. Now it’s all regurgitate bullsnot.
The best comedies were made in the 80's. The best dramas were made in the 70's.
@@RDSports5 Sent me on a little side thought about 80's movies and other stars lol.. Weekend at Bernie's, Short Circuit, Midnight Run, Jumpin' Jack Flash, The Princess Bride.. I remember being in that video shop a lot. Oh and Jackie Chan. They used to give away the old posters too!
Hey, if "Die Hard" and "Gremlins" can be Christmas movies, so can this movie!
Well it's always played at Christmas, a big part of it is set during the Christmas period, so it's a Christmas movie imo.
Gremlins makes sense because Gizmo was a Christmas gift
Also a birthday gift, because my birthday is at the end of the holidays.
It most definitely is a Christmas movie
And Lethal Weapon.
As much I love the Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor team-ups, I'm glad it was Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy who were cast in the lead roles. They gave the film more of a fresh, spontaneous, Saturday Night Live feel.
I agree. Plus, up until that point, Pryor & Wilder seemed better when they were "on the same team" instead of against each other.
To be more accurate, it was filmed at COMEX, the Commodities Exchange at 4 World Trade Center (which still stands). It was not filmed at the "stock exchange", as it deals in commodities and not stocks. In 2006 COMEX was folded into the NYSE, and the "pit" was permanently closed in 2016 as most exchanges are now done electronically.
Omg Jamie Lee was smoking hot in this. Also the brothers were in Coming To America. If memory serves me also the pawn shop guy is Bo Diddly
In Philadelphia, that wit is worth $50.
Correct on all counts.
Jamie Lee Curtis was at her hottest in "True Lies."
Yeah playing the same characters, they're the two homeless guys Eddie gives a paper bag full of money to
“Mortimer - we’re back!”
“YEAHHHHHH!”
One of my top 10 movies of all time. If it's playing anywhere with remote in hand, I have to stop and watch for a while!
I love 80's comedies..... I love 80's movies in general to be honest.
Oh I know what you mean. I'll scan and scan looking for something to watch and ALWAYS go back to an 80's or 90's movie I've seen a dozen or more times
My two all time favourite movies come out in the 80s,,The Lost boys and Young guns are great movies in my book..
"However, Pryor had 'suffered an injury'" lol, you mean he SET HIMSELF ON FIRE??
Crack is wack!!!
it was also Murphy who wanted Gene Wilder replaced, because he didn't want people just thinking of his as Pryor's substitute
He set himself on fire free basing cocaine.
Thank God I wasn't alone in remembering that.
What makes movies like these so great is that they're already made, because if they tried making this today it wouldn't fly. I love this movie
The Duke Brothers made abit of a cameo in Coming to America
"Randolph!!! Randolph!!!" Mortimer "I'm still not talking to you."
Jamie Lee Curtis didn’t win an Academy award for this movie. She won the British Academy award.
I caught that too. It was Shirley McLaine who won that year for Terms of Endearment.
Came to say that too. I had to look that up as I don't remember Curtis ever being nominated and would've been shocked if she won.
@@exquisitesplendor7175 Wrong category. Linda Hunt won supporting actress, Shirley MacLaine won lead.
I think that scene when Jamie Lee Curtis got into bed, sent me into puberty
"Bacon; which you might find in bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich" (Valentine's look into the camera)😅😂🤣
Breaking the 4th wall: Which you might find in many movies in the 80's :)
Oliver Hardy did it first.
That scene is an absolute crack up! 😂
That scene always made me want a BLT.
That shot required numerous
retakes to get just the right
kind of look.
Louis:
Looking good, Billy Ray!
Billy Ray:
Feeling good, Louis!
That line is an endless meme in my brain. Many of my younger friends never know the allusion when I utter it.
In that scene at the end of the movie on the beach and yacht, both guys are wearing sweaters in the tropics but Jamie is in a bikini. Always struck me as weird.
Oh yeah, and Coleman is wearing a suit, on the beach, in the tropics; sweaters and a suit. Nonetheless, I love this movie and watch every year.
Just let you know where they say that looking Good feeling good that part in the Virgin islands has really bad Sand fleas that will eat you alive so that's why locals and other peaple are not around in that area of the island
This is my mother's favorite quote couplet in the entire movie.
She quotes it all the time.
It’s overlooked by some but earlier in the film, Todd says “Looking good, Louis” to which he replies “Feeling good, Todd.”
If you're wondering how the final scene worked out, here's a synopsis;
( A minor aside; In the movie at the beginning of this scene, the boys are seen walking in front of the World Trade Center, with the twin towers off their right shoulders. This would mean they were walking East, toward Wall Street and the NY Stock Exchange. The scene to follow takes place ostensibly in the New York Mercantile Exchange where commodities are traded, which is located on the Hudson River, basically behind them. In other words, the movie shows them walking the wrong way, away from the building which houses the trading floor!)
So here's the gist;
The Duke Brothers thought they had information that the Orange harvest was going to be slim, and when that would be announced, the price would spike - simple law of supply and demand.
So they tell their "Pit Trader" to BUY all the FCOJ he can right from the opening bell, thinking that they were going to be able to buy OJ at a lower price initially and after the news report from the Agriculture Department broke, they would have a large position at a lower than market price.
Essentially, they were trying to "Corner the Market" by buying up as many contracts as their trader could. This created a buying frenzy, as the rest of the pit wants to follow the lead of such a well known willing buyer (Bearing in mind the Duke Brothers own a very large commodities trading brokerage. What they do affects everyone else). This causes the price to rise. Simple supply and demand; Lots of buyers, only a few sellers, price rises.
With each buy order, the Duke brothers are laying out real cash from their own account, so they are dependent on the information they have being correct and the price of each contract continue to go up........
BUT....we know it ISN'T correct, and so do Lewis and Billy Ray.
So they wait.....and Billy Ray gets anxious....and they wait....until....
Lewis sees the price get to the level he wants and shouts out that he is selling April contracts at "142!"
Now there is a new seller and the whole pit goes nuts. But do Lewis and Billy Ray actually OWN the FCOJ contracts they are selling? No. They don't. They are "Selling Short" meaning they are selling that which they do not own, but can, or will either borrow from someone else temporarily (which can actually happen when you sell short on the stock market) or the sale is covered before the end of the trading day via a "buy to cover".
With each short sale they make, they are padding their account. Each and every sale is real dollars to them, even though they don't own a thing yet.
The price begins to fall. More sellers than buyers now, so the law stated above is reversed. They want to sell as much as they can as fast as they can because they know the crop report is going to be announced soon and they want as much cash as they can possibly gather because they KNOW the truth and it is the opposite of what the Duke brothers think. This is where the Duke Brothers realize "That's not right" and see our heroes in the pit, selling like mad. They realize the info on the crop report is wrong and hurry down to the pit to get their trader to stop buying and start selling. But alas, he is not successful.
So the announcement comes and the pit goes silent as they all watch the television.
The INSTANT the agriculture rep says "The cold winter has apparently not affected the orange harvest" the pit goes wild again because everyone that had bought at high prices knows now that those prices were too high and they have to unload them or they will have bought FCOJ for way more than market value.
So a selling frenzy ensues. Lewis and Billy Ray fold their arms. They're done selling. The price plummets, because everyone is trying to sell overpriced contracts and there are virtually zero buyers. Lewis watches the price fall to a point he likes (around 46 or so) and says "Buy em'" and now they are one of the only traders in the pit willing to buy what everyone else is desperate to sell.
The price plummets even more all to their advantage. BTW, This is where the money Ophelia and Coleman gave them comes into play, because even though they have all the cash from the short sales from before, now they have the extra cash the other two gave them to buy even more contracts.
A side note pointed out on one blog I read long ago;
In order to really make this hurt the Dukes, at this point the boys would SPECIFICALLY AND PURPOSEFULLY NOT BUY from the Duke's trader or the Dukes themselves. They want to stick the Dukes with a LOT of overpriced contracts, so the entire time they are buying, they are ignoring the Dukes.
And they did. The boys basically did what the Dukes thought they were going to do; Corner the FCOJ market.
The closing bell rings (BTW This was ostensibly an entire trading day of say, 6 hours or so, much longer than the 5 minutes the scene takes) and the boys look up at the board, showing the closing price of 29. They started selling short at 142. The difference is all profit to them.
And then the crap hits the air circulation device!
"Margin call, gentlemen.
Why you can't expect...
You know the rules. All accounts to be settled at the end of the day's trading, without exception.
You know perfectly well we don't have three hundred ninety four million dollars in cash!
I'm sorry, boys. Put the Duke brothers' seats on the exchange up for sale at once, Seize all assets of Duke & Duke Commodity Brokers, as well as all personal holdings of Randolph and Mortimer Duke.....
We're ruined!"
If one were to assume all the losses stated by Randolph ($394,000,000) went to the boys, and that's a good bet and more, adjusted for inflation, $394 mil from 1983 to today comes out to around a billion, according to an inflation calculator you can easily Google.
There are several real world issues with this entire scenario of course, the least of which is that it could never happen today because of trading curbs and likely couldn't have back in 1983 either.
But it's a fun scene, and one of my all time favorite movies.
Nice
Buncha crooks.
Great job, Minty. Love all your vids! However, with this one, you make a bit of a larger error. Dan Ackroyd was not a stock trader, nor were stock exchanges used. He was in fact, a commodities trader, and they were trading commodity futures on OJ. These are totally different from trading stocks, as commodities trading (before they went totally computerized in the late 90s which meant floor trading, as seen in the movie, became irrelevant) were the chaotic scenes shown in the movies (I remember watching them back in the day...fun to watch!. Stock trading is a lot more calm compared to commodities.
It would've been interesting to have researched how much DA and EM's characters made, as I think it was in the hundreds of millions.
Keep up the great work, mate!
I love the quick reference to this movie in "Coming to America"
We're baaaaaaack!!
@@maxinewatermaker6162 I saw Coming to America before Trading Places and I wondered what he meant by saying "We"re back" . I had to watch Trading Places once to understand the downfall of the founders of Duke &Duke.
Here in the UK it's always shown at Christmas, so I'd say its a Christmas Movie
They show a lot of movies at Christmas there, I remember recording many movies during that season!
more of a Christmas 'film' not movie, just saying.
As a British man I agree... Was just making sure Minty knew what I meant 😝
BTW, just because the UK does something, well, it doesn’t mean it’s right. WW II for example. And don’t “at” me, haters, facts are facts.
Akyroids character was NOT a "Stockbroker" but a Commodities Broker!!!
That is correct. I used to work on the commodities exchange. The stock exchange was never at the World Trade Center, while commodities was.
Soooo ... a bookie?
Thanks I worked the floor in the late 70s
I'm not a janitor, I'm a custodial engineer.

Hey Minty, congratulations on a great channel. Great to see a fellow Melbourne boy doing so well.
As father of a child with Aspergers/Autism you are doing great. It inspires me that success is achievable for all who apply themselves. As for 2 words mispronounced. Who cares, just keep doing what you're doing. It entertains me as I revisit my youth in the 80's when video was king. I love that I have this channel entertaining me considering the current situation we are in. Great to see a Frankston boy doing so well. Well done and keep up the good work. 👍
My youngest was born in Frankston hospital when I was in the navy, it’s one of those places that you never forget haha
A few of the cars in the first mad max film were purchased from a dealership in that town so that’s pretty cool

"Pryor had suffered an injury" - I guess setting yourself on fire while freebasing cocaine would be considered suffering an injury... lol
In more ways than just one
@ Yeah, every modern comedian that you know take from his comedic style. But hey what do they know ?
Pryor was already in a couple movies very similar to this one.
Kevin S ツTM must be young ~ I remember Pryor as the most brilliant comedian of his time.
Pryor was funnier than Eddie Murphy and basically was a mentor for every black comedian that came since. Murphy had a better stage presence which makes him the better actor, but he still can't lay a finger on Pryor's stand up. The closest thing to Richard Pryor these days is Dave Chappell.
I love how Minty cant pronounce names right EVER ... Prince & the "poppa" 😂😂
I know right I had to laugh when I heard him say that,,
#11 Two puppeteers from The Jim Henson Company have supporting roles. Frank Oz (who appears in nearly every Landis film) as a Corrupt Cop , and Richard Hunt as Wilson, the Dukes personal trader. Also Jamie Lee won a BAFTA award not an Academy Award.
Man, the 80's had so many great movies! Same with music. So happy i was a teenager back then (*1973). Sweet memories...!
Love this movie. One of my favorite 80's Dan Aykroyd movies along with Ghostbusters and My Stepmother Is an Alien, The Great Outdoors, Dragnet and many more. And among my favorite 80's Eddie Murphy movies along with Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 and The Golden Child, 48 Hours and many more.
4:25, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor! I miss those guys.
That would have been a really interesting combo to do Trading Places and probably everyone here would believe it could have worked
...Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor are one of the all-time great comedy duos...
...right up there with Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, and even (for those of you who remember "The Apple Dumpling Gang") Don Knotts and Tim Conway...
Skip: "What are you doing"?
Harry: "Im gettin bad. You better get bad, jack, cause if you aint bad, your gonna get f****ed"!😆

I really think there should be mandatory psychological therapy for veterans with ptsd. My ex gf has a similar story and it's not just their own lives that's at stake, but their families too. I guess I can sympathize to my own limited capacity in that respect.

Louis Winthorpe...the Third!...
Mooza0001 you love it
It's the Aussie in him. They have different pronunciations. I honestly don't care because I lived there and I sometimes do the same thing. It doesn't take away from all he's done to make these for us.
Honestly, Akroyd is as good as anyone in that movie. The plot of the movie was contingent on ‘Louis Winthorpe III’ *selling us* on both ends of his ‘Riches to rags to riches’ tale.
The greatest testament as to his success is in how popular it was and the fact it’s still stands up today.
"They are a very musical people aren't they" LMFAO!!
Well hey, if people say Die hard is a Christmas movie then this is
Full Metal Jacket would also qualify.
Die Hard, Die Dard 2, Lethal Weapon = CHRISTMAS movies!!!!!
@@projectmayhem6898 "Happy Birthday too youuu Happy Biiiirthday dear Jeeesuuuus"
Nicely done! It's one of my all time favorite movies! You did a great job researching this movie. My only correction is that Winthorpe was a commodity broker (FCOJ, pork bellies, etc.) and not a stock broker (company stocks).
Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd are totally fantastic in this movie! It brings a wonderful smile to my face, every time I watch it. It’s perfectly understandable that you make some mistakes while getting your videos put together. I appreciate everything that you do, even when you make little mistakes here and there. I admire your dedication to your craft!
"MERRY NEW YEAR!" 🤣 We need a sequel to this!!! With Eddie, Dan and Jamie Lee Curtis.
@Jerrol Hale 🤣 .... would you like some beef jerky?
It’s enough of a Christmas film for me, since everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year who should - and all the underhanded elements get theirs.
Funny how you mentioned that the movie had an ‘old fashioned’ 1930’s/40’s screwball comedy feel about it, especially given that Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche were cast as the Duke brothers as they had both appeared in many comedy movies in that era.
This, lethal weapon, and die hard are my favorite Christmas movies.
Never knew this movie was intended for Pryor/Wilder but it makes perfect sense. I could totally see them doing the parts of Valentine and Winthorpe.
I would have loved to see that version as well. Wilder and Pryor eventually made a 3rd movie together in '89, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, love this movie too❤
As much as I love the Wilder/Pryor team I don't think Gene is as good at playing stuck up as Ackroyd
Fun fact Eddie Murphy continued the gag in Coming to America when the prince gave the homeless men the bag of money.
Those Two Homeless Men were the Duke Brothers
1. Wasn’t John Belushi’s Brother also in this movie? 2. How about ten things about “The Distinguished Gentleman”, “Accepted”, or “Dogma”?
Yep, Jim Belushi was in the gorilla costume on the train.
Stir crazy and Trading places are complete classics. Thanks Minty
"10 Things You Didn't Know About Brewster's Millions" with Richard Pryor and John Candy. It's the 7th (and best) movie based on the 1902 novel by George Barr McCutcheon. (Betcha didn't know that.😉)
Such a classic great video Minty a lot I didn’t know. Jamie Lee Curtis was a bombshell in this 🤘🎥🤘
And ONLY this movie.
I don't know that strip dance scene from true lies was pretty hot too. Those breasts though omg! Perfection!
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 even though she wasn't naked in Halloween she was pretty hot in her younger years
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 what? you didn't see her in Perfect? she does this one aerobics scene...OMG......
@@polarbear5740 you right you right.
JLC's topless scene caught me completely by surprise!
Anyone else hearing Minty pronounce "Winthorpe" as Win Throwp?? 😂🤣😂 Bless that Aussie accent
It's winTHORP not wintROPE 😂😂😂. One of my all time favorite movies!!!
While Richard and Gene are probably top 3 comedic duos of all time, this movie is as close to comedic perfection as it gets.
I'm guessing that Richard's "injury" that you were talking about was the time he set himself on fire?
That or he fell down a flight of cocaine.
Trading Places is a Christmas movie in Germany as well. It is normally shown back to back with "Coming to America".
Will you do “Brewster’s Millions”??? I haven’t seen that one on here... that’s a great movie!
I was just about to say that! 😃
It's on Netflix now
Just like Die hard, trading places isn't intended as a Christmas movie. But what the heck!
Yeah it is one of the greatest holiday movies ever made.
Nor was "It's a Wonderful Life"
Like First Blood(1982) & Lethal Weapon(1987). 😁🎄🎬🎞🎅
@@christelheadington1136 It actually is
@@christelheadington1136 Yes, possibly because it wasn't released prior to Christmas. It had its US "Wide Release" on January 7th of 1947. To tell the truth, although it was one of the first VHS movies I bought, I never watched that copy and have only seen it 3-4 times on TV. But as the French say, _"Chacun à son goût."_
I always thought that the "Eddie Murphy Rule" was where if Eddie was cast in a movie, he had to play 14 other characters too.
I think that's Murphy's Law.
If it can go wrong, it probably does in Eddies later films.
It's the Adam Sandler Rule.
You forgot to mention that "trading places" is an actual holiday tradition in England! It used to be, that on Boxing Day every year, wealthy citizens and their servant-staff would "trade places" for one day to honor the holiday! =)
Trading Places is what happens when Divide and Conquer backfires. I love it!!!
My boy Minty is having a hard time with WinthORP
And the word Pauper if you listen to the way he says it it sounds like he says popper,,The Prince and the popper,,lol..I love the way he says some things makes me laugh..
Superb film from the Landis golden era.
One of my all time favourites.
I love this film! My favorite “Christmas Time” film is Better Off Dead. The aardvark furs and TV dinners.
Great movie, which always reminded me of Gregory Peck in "The Million Pound Note" - surprised you didn't mention that. Thanks for the video ...
My favorite part was the brunette he discovered in his bedroom. "I'm waiting for you billy ray" I would have jumped in that bed in half a second.
I love this movie. I have it on DVD. I love the parts when Ophelia, Billy Ray, and Louis are on the train in their wacky disguises trying to fool Clarence Beaker . And the part where Winthrop is dressed up like Santa Claus. That part still makes me LOL 😂😅. Paul Gleason was also in the movie he played Clarence Beaker And there was brief Cameos from Al Franklin who was a baggage handler on the train. and Jim Belushi played Harvey a partygoer on the train. This movie's still makes me LOL 😂😅
That's Clarence Beeks
("Clarence Beeks???!!!")
aka Paul Gleason
from "The Breakfast Club"
& "Morgan Stewart's Coming Home".
Another little fact, Dan wanted Eddie to play Winston in Ghostbusters but Eddie had already signed up for Beverly Hills Cop and had to turn it down. And because of that we got Ernie Hudson in the role.
I could've possibly seen Murphy & Murray not getting along
Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all times and you damn right every Christmas I have to watch this right along with coming to America in Christmas vacation!!!
Double feature suggestion, "Trading Places" and "Silver Streak".
“That's called the "quart of blood" technique. You do that, a quart of blood will drop out of a man's body.“
“When they brought you in here and booked you, you was crying like a pussy.”
“YEAH!!”
They used mace!
YEAH!
Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder were close to being paired together in “Blazing Saddles” too. I saw Silver Streak when I was a kid and loved it. Trading Places is one of my all-time favorites and might have been even better with Pryor and Wilder.
I always wanted to see a Duke brothers spinoff. It would be what happens between Trading Places and Coming to America
Pryor and Wilder would have been a great choice as well
No
Agree.
I’m sure I’ve seen that movie already lol
I love them both, and the movies they were in together, but nobody else could have been Winthorpe except Akroyd.
Jamie Lee Curtis, The movie I became a huge fan of hers.
I'm an 80's kid and I remember watching this movie on VHS and it was one of the 4 movies we owned but it ended up being one of my favorite comedy movies of all time!!
One of my favorite comedy movies of all time. Coming to America, also loosely associated, is my second.
It ain't cool to be a jive turkey this close to Thanksgiving
Imma karate mane!
so many quotes from this movie! karate man bleeds on the inside!
*Yeah.*
@CHIGGS 58TH haha forgot about that one!
BTW: it's just about that time of year to watch Trading Places once again!
@CHIGGS 58TH "Merry New Year" swish swish swish.....
I believe his name is Winthorpe. Not WinFromp.
Lol,,good one,,I love the way Minty says some words,,
Hi mate I’m a movie buff. I have seen every movie you have reported on. At first I thought this guy is a bit irritating but after watching many of your reports now I think your very bloody clever and I have turned into a FAN yes a FAN. Thank you and I’ll keep watching you have a wealth of info on any movie I have seen.
"Listen you little sh*t, you better strip before I tare you a new a**hole" ....hahaha that line always cracked me up
to be fair jamie lee is also a legacy scream queen as her mom was the shower scene lady in psycho. which tbh.. that is the most iconic scene in the movie.
JLC is a man
JLC once commented that after making horror movies the only way she could break into "legitimate" movies was to take her clothes off.
Hi Minty! Just to thank you for your brilliant commentaries, they've provided me so much insight over the years. Your research is accurate, respectful without being slavish, and your aesthetic judgment is spot-on. A joy to watch, please keep it up - best, Amelia In L.A.
The balding cop with the mustache was Frank Oz, who was also in The Blues Brothers (and was voice and puppeteer for Yoda, among others).
Jamie Lee Curtis wasn’t nominated for an Oscar or even a Golden Globe for this movie.
i was thinking the same O_o
Probably saw Academy Award and thought Oscar, but it was a BAFTA ( British Academy of Film and Television Arts )
Oh wow really i didn't know that
He needs to fact check thoroughly
