I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the amount of time you took to put this location comparison video together. Trading Places is a great American film classic. I know what I'm spooling up on the projector tonight, great job, Nick!
Another great video. Your vids stand out for me because you capture the identical filming spot and angle so well. The 80's were my favourite decade for films and you've covered so many of them. There aren't many youtube videos that I can stay glued for 30 minutes+ but the time zips by watching yours. Brilliant... Thank you.
Awesome video, Trading Places is still one of my favorite movies after all these years and I must have watched it at least 50 times. It's still funny and the story line holds up even today. It was great to see the filming locations and you did a wonderful job at matching up the exact locations.
Whenever I watch things like this, I like to look how vegetation and streets have either changed or stayed the same. Seeing some of the same trees 30 years later is pretty cool.
My uncle Carmen appeared in the opening shots, cleaning up some heads of lettuce. He passed away many years ago. Always brings a smile when we see his face.
Wow, i am blown away by the way you put everything together. You did such a wonderful job. It brought back so many memories of how really funny that movie was. Thank you! ❤
What a great job yet again nick... absolutely love the way you have edited it...great video....just in time for Christmas ⛄🎄... can't wait for your next one😊👍🇬🇧.... and Merry Christmas to you🎄⛄
This is the perfect mix of nostalgia and your own brilliant attention to detail. Thank You for doing these videos on some of the best films I watched growing up. 👍🏼😎❤️
Haven't been to the 911 Memorial yet Nick, and not sure when I'll go. Took me about 8 months after the tragedy before I went downtown again. On my way to the former J&R Music World, I would always look up and over at The Towers, but then they weren't there, and I was pissed. It's been nearly 21 years now, and my feelings haven't changed all that much. Thanks for including that at the end, and upfront, featuring one of my favorite Eddie Murphy films of all-time: Trading Places!
I have just begun to see your videos recently and I really love the production values you bring to them and your voice over work is spot on. More than entertaining, I find them informative, which is value added. I like the way you handled the World Trade Center segment, very respectful and you pretty much let the images do the speaking. I have had a hard time dealing with the 911 tragedy. Back in the late 60's into the early 70's, after working evening shifts in North Jersey, I would go over to the construction site at 1 or 2 in the morning to look at the progress being made. I knew this was a historic building being made and wanted to watch its creation. I often wondered over those several years about the future, thinking about the day when it or other buildings needed to be replaced, how they would accomplish that task, never thinking for a moment about a terrorist attack. After the buildings were gone on 911, I would avoid looking over at New York City, while travelling on the NJ Turnpike or from scenic view points in NJ, it was too disturbing. Time has passed and I can handle it now but it is a wound that will never heal. Thank you for the effort you have taken in creating these videos.
I really appreciate the feedback. While I didn’t get to see the creation of the WTC, I know what you mean. Time helps heal all wounds, glad to hear you’re able to handle the situation better now. I did the same thing for a while, in terms of avoidance. Thanks a lot.
I've been following your channel for a minute now and I've been dreading watching The trading places video because my aunt worked in the two towers and I want to thank you for this video cuz it makes me want to honor her even more thank you 😭
01:11 Haha I love how you can barely keep it together saying his name "Louis Winthorp III"!! Awesome one again, Nick! Trading Places is such a classic. Then the thing about the 911 memorial museum is that when it opened up I think in late 2011 or 2012, I was there then, everyone had a lot of respect for the place and its history. I went back in 2015 and a lot of tourists made silly selfies in front of the pools, which I found quite offensive. Anyhow, keep filming locations!
Lolll it was a challenge… Yes, I know what you mean… getting the over views were tough enough, and I couldn’t include the walk by tower 2, screen over screen. It didn’t sit right with me. I felt I covered it enough. I honestly had to fight back some tears putting that segment together. It was tough. As always, thanks a lot Scotti!
Absolutely superb video keep up the good work love seeing the locations where the movies 🎬 were filmed keep up the good work kev from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Thank you for locating the Philly locations for this movie. The city needs to be known for other movies. I'm glad you didn't do Rocky this day. This is so well done. Much appreciation.
I lived in Philly’90-‘95 and at one point was a bike messenger and stopped at many of these locations. Ironically my next destination in life was St. Croix and know Davis Bay well. Good job. If you do Shawshank you’ll need to go to St. Croix to film Grassy Point and Sandy point for the ending. You could do an update edit on here with Davis Bay while there. Great work on such a classic.
Liked and shared my friend,I know its been a minute,hope you and yours are well,early Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,I loved this movie,heck of a job as always my man!
I've watched 3 people react to this movie the last couple days, maybe a dozen first timers overall and it's still funny as hell and holds up well, the Dan Ackroyd blackface scene gets a lot of surprise reactions but overall newer viewers enjoy it.
Wonder if the back n forth between NYC and Philly had anything to do with filming schedules and SNL. I cannot even remember if trading places was after they both had left SNL or not. Anyways. Imma late to the party. But great video. Love how you cross fade audio between live and movie. And the great care you obviously take to frame up your shots as close to the original as possible. Really transports me right into the movie and back in time. Jersey guy here so the ties to WTC a numerous and some still raw even after all this time. Kudos for the great respect and courtesy you showed. Well done
That would make sense for SnL, good call. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and all that goes with it… It brings me back as well! Many thanks for the great feedback. Happy New Year!
Great on location hunt down here to see things change and most the stay the same love this film great job nick p and hope you and your family have a merry New year lol
Perfect Job, man. I think the hardest to find was Ophelias Appartment, how is it possible to know where these small locations are when not even the Director of that movie remembers about...?
Takes some searching and comparing, google maps is a big help. The longer you do this, the better you get at identifying areas. Also, research helps out as well.
I gotta say, Eddie Murphy wore a suit really well. I remember back those days, that if Eddie Murphy was in a movie, I knew I was going to laugh. I really wanted to comment on an interesting point you made about the characters trying and failing to go back to their roots. I find that one very interesting and a very astute observation in general. Both characters had their lives upended, and fond themselves put in to situations where they had no business being, and couldn't make any sense of it, and trying to rebuild what was taken from them. But, they couldn't because their old worlds were gone, so it was a matter of moving forward, and out of this strange place they were in to rebuild new lives for themselves. And both became better people afterwards.
I tell you what Nick. Top marks for this one brother. You’ve been travelling far and wide to get the shots it must’ve taken an age to make this video. Good effort
Haven't seen this film in a long while. Forgotten it was partially set in Philadelphia, a place I haven't been to. Been to New York City twice though, going up a few skyscrapers. We don't get many where I live, they're building one in town right now but it won't be as tall as anything in NYC, or even London. As a kid, I always saw New York in media and wanted to go there, so many tall buildings I often wondered what it would be like to be around them, and such wide roads too. The city I live in couldn't be more different...although they rather funnily renamed the New Street train station as Grand Central....yeah I've been to the real one and it's way nicer than ours. If I ever get to go to America again, I don't really know where I'll go. It's not often I get to travel. I only went to Scotland for the first time last year and been to Ireland once...when I was 7 in the mid 90's. Been to France and Wales on school trips....that's all the countries I've been to. Oh well, nice video, I always like to see how things used to be in some capacity.
You’ve been to some great places, those of which I’d love to visit someday myself. Thanks so much for the feedback. There really is something difficult to put into words that you feel when having a then and now experience. Interesting stuff!
Great job. Very touching 9/11 tribute. On a side note, funny how this movie was based on a 1913 play called Pygmalion and later a Three Stooges short called "Hoi- Polloi.
@@NickP Ya when you have a minute, watch Hoi Polloi. It might be on YT. Curly has a famous line that probably wouldn't fly today. Keep up the great work. You do an amazing job.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the amount of time you took to put this location comparison video together. Trading Places is a great American film classic. I know what I'm spooling up on the projector tonight, great job, Nick!
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! I am going to do a follow up video in the future for the remaining locations.
Another great video. Your vids stand out for me because you capture the identical filming spot and angle so well. The 80's were my favourite decade for films and you've covered so many of them.

Awesome movie awesome matchup and absolutely great video
Classic lol.. Thanks a lot Mike…
Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
Love the effort you put into these videos. A sign of true passion. Trading places is a classic.

This was a very good movie. I feel like the weather was more foggy, cloudy, and cold back then. Thanks for making this.
It would've been filmed in the Winter of 82...hence the foggy/snowy surroundings...This was probably filmed in the Spring, and only just uploaded....
Supposed to be a Christmas movie.
The streets werent filled that time, today it seems all totally overfilled with people and vehicles.
One of my very few desert island movies. Thank you so much for this great job.
Thank you!
Wow, i am blown away by the way you put everything together.
You did such a wonderful job.
It brought back so many memories of how really funny that movie was. Thank you! ❤
That’s very kind of you, thanks a lot!
It never ceases to amaze me how things change so quickly. 30 years is quick.
Nearly 40 yrs.
Great memories! Thank you
Looking good Louis! Feeling good Billy Ray!
I absolutely love this movie. Watched a million times! I really enjoyed your video man thanks.
That’s awesome, and thank you!
The Duke’s mansion was Chestnut Hill College.
Great video!
Thanks!

That’s awesome, I really look forward to visiting your country. Thanks a lot!
Excellent, it's one of my favorite movies!!! great job you did...
Many thanks!
A underrated classic! Got this on DVD! The 911 ending is still sad, even after 20 years!
Amazing work bro, Thanks. This is still my favourite movie 🎥 🍿
Thank you Justin!
Great vid great commentary!!!
That was excellent. I love that movie. I consider it’s classic
I have just begun to see your videos recently and I really love the production values you bring to them and your voice over work is spot on. More than entertaining, I find them informative, which is value added.

Most amazing. Great job. Thank you. But what about the trading pits? If Im not mistaken they were in New Jersey or Chicago ...
Many thanks!
I wasn’t able to confirm.
Amazing seen biutiful day
Does anyone know what beach was the one used in the last scene in St. Croix?
Davis Beach.. Right next to a resort
Great job. I don't recall, but have you done one for Mannaquin?
Thanks! Not yet, when I was in town I visited the Wanamaker building but only took some pics. I will in the future.
Are you able to collaborate in NYC June 9-19?
Hopefully!
