I love this movie...🤣. I swear it was on TV all the time when I was a kid. Richard Pryor is hilarious ($30 million in 1985 would be almost $85 million today!)
@@xejelah You'd be surprised. It's one of those things where you'd spend big money in the first week but then struggle to find other outlets as the month went on.
Yeah, The Toy is considered one of the worst movies of the 80s. I personally think it's fine - but most people think it's unfunny trash basically. I would never call it an instant classic even if I did like it.
@@christopherallen3923 Ah, well like I said I like The Toy, especially since the cast is stellar for such a comedy style movie. I wasn't too keen on the ending so much, but it was a funny movie for sure. I never understood why so many people literally hate it though. Meh, who knows.
My favorite Richard Pryor movie is "The Toy" with Jackie Gleason. It was filmed around the same time and it is hilarious Richard Pryor's physical comedy is so good in this movie.
Warren was played by Stephen Collins, well known for his role on tv show “7th Heaven”. The team manager, Charley, was played by Jerry Orbach. He was the dad in Dirty Dancing and he also was in Law and Order tv show for a long time. 👍
Peter Jason as Chuck Fleming the reporter was in “They Live”, Deadwood”, and had other parts in many movies and television shows. Yakov Smirnoff had parts in “Moscow on the Hudson”, “Buckaroo Banzai”. Pat Hingle was in many films.
Trivia facts: Brewster's Millions was originally a 1902 novel written by George Barr McCutcheon where a man named Montgomery 'Monty' Brewster has to spend $1 million in one year to inherit millions more. There were a series of films about it which as follows: Brewster's Millions (1914) Based on the play of the same name where Brewster (Edward Abeles) has to spend $1 million in one year or less in order to inherit $7 million (considered a lost film) Brewster's Millions (1921) Brewster (Roscoe Arbuckle) has to spend $1 million in six months to inherit $4 million (lost film) Miss Brewster's Millions (1926) Polly Brewster (Bebe Daniels) has to spend $1 million in 30 days or less to inherit $5 million (lost film) Brewster's Millions (1935) British version where Jack Brewster (Jack Buchanan) has to spend 500,000 pounds sterling in six months to inherit six million pounds. Brewster's Millions (1945) Monty Brewster (Dennis O'Keefe) has to spend $1 million in 60 days or less to inherit $7 million. Brewster's Millions (1985) Monty Brewster (Richard Pryor) has to spend $30 million in 30 days to inherit $300 million. Bollywood versions: Maalamaal (1988) This Hindi-language version was released in India in 1988. The plot remains the same - spend 30 million Indian rupees in 30 days or less to earn 300 million rupees. It is an obvious scene-by-scene "Indianization" of the 1985 Richard Pryor film with some additional scenes and a few musical production numbers. Arunachalam (1997) An Indian Tamil-language film based also on the Brewster story, with significant differences from earlier versions, particularly in the first half. Many plotlines are interwoven, but the basic concept, spending 300 million rupees in 30 days to inherit 30 billion rupees, remains the same.
Thanks for straying away from the top 10 - 80's movies list that everyone else react to on TH-cam and watch a regular classic 80's movie. I love the 80's so the more variety of 80's movies reactions the better 😊
FINALLY!!! I've been hoping y'all would get to this classic!! It's one of my all time favorite movies! I watched it a million times when it came out!! ❤️
I just can't get enough of your reactions! You guys are the absolute best!! I said it before: How charming is Asia?! Well, you're both so much fun to watch. Keep up the awesome videos
"Marilyn? I could die in this room." Fun Fact: Princess Anne visited the set during filming as part of her U.S. tour. Lost In Adaptation Fact: This is the seventh movie adaptation of George Barr McCutcheon's 1902 novel. In earlier adaptations, the hero was required to spend only a million dollars. Historical Fact: In a few scenes, a train passes through the outfield of the stadium where the Bulls play. In the 1930s and 1940s, that was a common occurrence at ball parks used by teams in the Texas leagues. Political Science Fact: Brewster's (Richard Pryor) political party "None Of The Above" (NOTA) is used in jurisdictions or organizations to give a voter who opposes all choices on a ballot a chance to indicate their disapproval. The underlying principle is that legitimate consent requires the ability to withhold consent, and allowing voters to withhold their consent in an election to office is just like voting no on ballot questions.
Hahaha! My dad took me to see this when I was 10. We still mimic that bat wing flap thing he did😂. I miss Richard Pryor so much. Thrilled y’all watched this. Great reaction, as always🤘
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I can't believe Asia and BJ are watching this. Great choice, great reaction. ------ This movie has so much heart that in unexpected way.
Remember that 30 million in 1985 is about 87 million today. It's MUCH harder then it sounds to spend that much when you: 1. Aren't allowed to have anything to show for it 2. Can't give it away 3. Can't have help 4. Can't destroy anything with value 5. Must get fair value (can't purposely overpay)
The best thing Richard Pryor ever said was when he was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson long ago. Richard was done talking to Johnny, so he moved down a seat so the next guest could come on. The next guest was some elderly, very light-skinned and privileged woman (Bible Belt area), who was very proud of the "good old days" when everything was wonderful. She went on and on....saying how "We had this, we had that, we had....." Richard cut right in and added, "....and lynchings!" Johnny about soiled himself and the audience roared with laughter, while the privileged old woman gave him the classic Death Stare. 😆😆😆
It's breath of fresh air watching movies I've never seen before (including the last two), I know there must be parts missing from editing but still a great watch and reaction from both of you two.
I'm soooo glad you did this movie. This is an absolute gem of comedy. A lot of comedians ripped off some of Richard Pryors best stuff. But this one, is all Richard, I believe this was before he set himself on fire....
"I'm going to teach you to HATE spending money. I'm gonna make you so sick of spending money the mere sight of it will make you wanna throw up." - Great uncle Rupert.
Lonnette McKee who plays Angela Drake was in the original 'Sparkle' with Irene Cara. She was also in 'Malcolm X' with Denzel, 'Jungle Fever' and 'The Cotton Club'. She's also a singer. My favorite album is Words and Music.
This movie was on Dutch tv at least 6 times a year in the 80s and 90s and I watched them all as a kid. Ooooh I miss those good all days when Hollywood was still interested in giving us great comedies (instead of lectures)
I’m so glad you chose to see just what a lovable genius Richard Pryor was. Watch it again and focus in on his facial expressions and manner of speaking. Hysterical tour de force for him!
Finally! A different movie I happened to have seen and liked. 'Which way is up' is awesome, as is 'JoJo Dancer' which is like autobiography. Also 'Blue Collar'. Great themes.
You guys are awesome for reacting to this. This is one of my fav Richard Pryor comedies even though he has done so many cool movies and his stand-up comedy is amazing.
Oh SNAP! I forgot about this one and it was a total 80's comedy favorite in my family! Pryor is a TRUE GOAT!!! If you enjoyed this, you gotta watch him in The Toy! ❤️
So glad you did a Richard Pryor movie.😂👍 He is a comedic GOAT (One of Bill Burr's favourite comedians). Enjoyed seeing you both having a good laugh. You should check out "Harlem Nights" with Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy another comedy movie. Hilarious IMO
These days, it'd be so easy to spend $30 million in 30 days. I could do it. But this is such a funny movie! X) Warren was played by the same actor who played the dad on 7th Heaven, and he was in the first Star Trek movie (most likely places you've seen him). Fun reaction! Thanks!! :D
OMG this has been one of my favorite comedies since I was a little girl. I've watched it a million times and it never gets old the premise of the story is so creative. John Candy and Richard Pryor RIP
Great reaction to this 80s comedy classic you two... If you like both Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, they did a total 4 movies together... Silver Streak (1976), Stir Crazy (1980), See No Evil Hear No Evil (1989) & Another You (1991)...and all of them are funny in my opinion...
I was 16 when this came out. I’m an old west coast Canadian and grew up with these types of movies. John Candy is so awesome but Richard Pryor is truly a genius. So glad you watched this. I was surprised that you had not done any Richard Pryor. FYI if you do more definitely watch “See No Evil Hear No Evil”. Him and Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein/ Blazing Saddles).
Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. The entire cast is just perfect. Of course, Pryor and Candy steal the show but Lonette McKee as Angela is just as memorable. And yes, I'm sorry, but when this came out, I was 11 years old and had a HUGE crush on her. I thought she was literally perfect lol I know, lame.
One of my all time fave feel good movies. As ever, Asia is correct ....spending that amount of money in thirty days, particularly back then, not as easy as it first seems. :-) PLEASE add HOLY MAN (1998 )with Eddie Murphy, to your list, you guys will absolutely love it. Eddie is superb as ever. So funny and offbeat.
Love the reaction guys you can't go wrong with Richard Pryor definitely a comic genius this is a great movie with him and John Candy but definitely need to check out Sliver Streak and Stir Crazy with Gene Wilder
I’d rent a venue and book every singer I like to give private concerts for me and people I love. That would burn through the $30 million super fast. And no assets! Fun reaction! I enjoy your content a lot.
So many lottery winners splurge and end up broke again. Uncle gave him a crash course in learning the pitfalls. That way the $300m would be a lot safer. ❤ this movie. So clever and funny.
I love this movie, folks swear they could do it, but most of them didn't listen to all the rules. This would be hard, even today at 80 to 90 million. The advisor was right even the most frivilous spender would still accummulate assets.
What if you hired people to spend the money for you? You would be spending money on the people, and they would find more things for you to spend the money on.
@@Inquiringmind0 The big issue with that is the rule that you must get value for money. For instance he could hire the security guard because he's getting value in him being the head of security and the others value in they are protecting thirty million dollars. However hiring Jane to spend three million doesn't actually get you value for money. Not to mention the more you spread the spending out (if you can) the more odds one of them spends it on something that's an asset or does like his friend did and hides it away to help him. Assuming of course you don't have corrupt lawyers trying to make you fail as well.
@@liamwarner5749 Yes, but couldn't you say that the people you are hiring are like a financial advisor? You are hiring people to find things that you want to spend your money on. It would be the equivalent of hiring a car broker to find you a vintage car, or an art dealer helping you find some great paintings. Only here, it would be experiences. The people's job would be to find experiences for you to spend money on. For example, if I was to take on this kind of challenge today, I would go spend the money on going to space. I think there was a billionaire, might have even been Jeff Bezos, who paid millions of dollars just to go up in space for like a day. I would just pay to go like 10 times in two weeks, and the money would be gone. This is the kind of experience I would hire the people to find for me if it was the early 80's - the equivalent of going to space.
There should be a law called Brewster's Law that any ballot must contain a "None Of The Above" entry. Maybe then the candidates will concentrate on what matters to the people rather than just attacking the other party.
What was AMAZING about Richard Pryor is that he was not a trained actor, he started out as a stand-up comedian and got a lucky break to star in a movie that led to more movies, yet he proved to be a great actor.
I like to think about all the people he payed to do silly jobs. How the money went back into the community. Maybe the security guard was able to afford braces for his daughter or glasses for his son. Things like that make me love Brewster. I also like to think that he was very generous after he got the big money too. Thanks so much you guys! Great movie. I've loved it since childhood.
Another great Prior and Wilder movie is See No Evil Hear No Evil or reverse Hear No Evil See No Evil. One is deaf the other blind. Absolutely hilarious!
This was a fun movie when it came out. It fulfilled everyone's fantasy. But it also spoke to all the corruption at the time. Especially within New York and politics.
Whooooa I have been waiting years for someone to do a reaction to this movie!!!!!!!! You 2 have earned my devotion today. ok, so heres a little of what you noticed but didnt recognize Rick Moranis was the repeat guy, aan 1 of the bankers played boss in tv show Bewitched Larry Stevens, Lin Shaye from from insidious movies she during 80s had tons of rolls like in this film where shes placed in a group setting TV reporter in Pump Up the Volume she played a concern parent in Nightmare on Elm St. she was a teacher. Shes so young in here prob wont recognize her as the old physic in Insidious
The lawyer was Darrin's boss on Bewitched. Mr. Larry Tate. No, BJ, Denny's, not IHOP. Warren was the dad, the Rev. Camden, on TV's 7th Heaven, as well as Captain Decker in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. You still need to react to John Candy in Stripes (1981) and Splash (1984).
Maaaaaaaan, I grew up on this movie. This is one of those films we had on Beta (VCR) and would just watch over and over or have it on in the background in the play room or when we were doing sommat else.
I love this movie, even in 2023 i still believe it is the best film of Richard Pryor. I have seen this many times over the years and never get tired of it. John Candy and rest of cast are great.
What many overlook is he gets 30 million win or lose - they said nothing about giving any of that back - only he had to 'waste it' to get 300 million. I was impressed when I saw David White in this as one of the Legal Firm's partners as I knew him from Bewitched in the 60's on TV growing up. Larry Tate taught me a little about life at a young age. His ability to flip sides when money was involved is legend.
I can't believe you watched this! I saw it just a couple months ago. Good stuff. See no Evil, Hear no Evil is another GREAT Richard Pryor film. Similar films are... "trading spaces", "arthur (the original)"..maybe "king ralph"...and that anne hathaway film haha
I've watched this movie since I was a kid and I had never had an issue until that reporter said, "Montgomery Brewster just inherited $30 Million dollars, TAX FREE!!!"" Grown up me was just like, NOPE, TOTAL FANTASY!! Not a chance!! Government isn't giving up their taxes for your honky grandpa's game!!!! He more likely starts with $20M lol.
Richard Pyor is also great in 'see no evil hear no evil' with Gene Wilder
That was my favorite movie with those two. They drove that detective crazy!
SOOO GOOOD
Stir Crazy is a classic w/Wilder too, and Harlem Nights was good.
@@Deathbird_Mitch Stir Crazy is too damn funny!!
OP, I was gonna recommend that one too! Great minds...😊
Asia's laugh is so infectious. I just love how much she enjoys these movies.
"YOU ARE LYING?!?!"- asia
She's the audience I suspect most filmmakers want watching their movies =)
It's the hands to the face and that blanket covering that get me 🤣
I love this movie...🤣. I swear it was on TV all the time when I was a kid. Richard Pryor is hilarious ($30 million in 1985 would be almost $85 million today!)
$85.8m
i feel like that would be easier to spend today with all costs going up
@@xejelah You'd be surprised. It's one of those things where you'd spend big money in the first week but then struggle to find other outlets as the month went on.
It was on HBO ALLLL the time back in the day...as was "The Toy".
@djmtott nah, I could spend that on a house and land.
Yes The Toy and also Harlem Nights with him and Eddie Murphy is an instant classic
Yeah, The Toy is considered one of the worst movies of the 80s. I personally think it's fine - but most people think it's unfunny trash basically. I would never call it an instant classic even if I did like it.
LOVE THE TOY!!! WONDER WHEEL!!
@LordLOC no I meant Harlem Nights was the instant classic, and the Toy was crazy funny plus it had a good story I think
@@christopherallen3923 Ah, well like I said I like The Toy, especially since the cast is stellar for such a comedy style movie. I wasn't too keen on the ending so much, but it was a funny movie for sure. I never understood why so many people literally hate it though. Meh, who knows.

7th Heaven was canceled after Stephen Collins admitted to Sexually abusing 3 underage girls in the 70s.
Rick Moranis( Dark Helmet) plays the guy who repeats everything Brewster says
Thanks for this one! John Candy/Richard Prior made a great team. Rip to both

Look at you being so smart. I never considered or frankly knew. All I was thinking is how much easier it would be today! 😂😂😂
That makes sense.i think I saw a black n white movie where Cary Grant had to spend a million.

GREAT film with Richard Pryor and John Candy. Very underrated, IMO
Richard Pryor was the BEST. He was a freaking comedic genius.
ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DID THIS CLASSIC
One of the best movies ever. My children were in grade school when this came out. Such happy memories. Thank you!
So glad you did a Richard Pryor movie.😂👍 He is a comedic GOAT (One of Bill Burr's favourite comedians). Enjoyed seeing you both having a good laugh. You should check out "Harlem Nights" with Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy another comedy movie. Hilarious IMO
This is awesome that you guys are doing older movies as well. This is a great one. Most of all of Richard Pryors movies are great.
These days, it'd be so easy to spend $30 million in 30 days. I could do it. But this is such a funny movie! X) Warren was played by the same actor who played the dad on 7th Heaven, and he was in the first Star Trek movie (most likely places you've seen him). Fun reaction! Thanks!! :D
If they were to remake it, they would have to adjust for inflation so that would make it $85.8 million in 30 days
@@DoubleAO No worries. I have no doubt I could blow $90 million in 30 days these days. X) Lol
Loved this reaction, one of my all time favourite movies!
I'm so glad you reacted to this movie. This is one of my all time favorites. We all wished for this to happen to us, I know I did.😊
No one mentioned Bustin' Loose in the comments with Richard and Cecily Tyson. Loved that movie as a kid among his many others
OMG this has been one of my favorite comedies since I was a little girl. I've watched it a million times and it never gets old the premise of the story is so creative. John Candy and Richard Pryor RIP
It’s such a great concept for a story. You have to spend the inheritance and have nothing too show for it; without telling people about the bet.
See no evil, Hear no evil !!! Movie With Richard and Gene Wilder is a MUST see !!
Very funny and a big Classic ❤
Great reaction to this 80s comedy classic you two...
If you like both Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, they did a total 4 movies together... Silver Streak (1976), Stir Crazy (1980), See No Evil Hear No Evil (1989) & Another You (1991)...and all of them are funny in my opinion...
I agree. Watch them all!!!
I was 16 when this came out. I’m an old west coast Canadian and grew up with these types of movies. John Candy is so awesome but Richard Pryor is truly a genius.
So glad you watched this. I was surprised that you had not done any Richard Pryor. FYI if you do more definitely watch “See No Evil Hear No Evil”. Him and Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein/ Blazing Saddles).
I have always thought the concept for this movie was awesome. Asia got it right away. This was before the Power Ball came along.
This is such a good movie!!! Glad you two are going to (have now) see it.
Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. The entire cast is just perfect. Of course, Pryor and Candy steal the show but Lonette McKee as Angela is just as memorable. And yes, I'm sorry, but when this came out, I was 11 years old and had a HUGE crush on her. I thought she was literally perfect lol I know, lame.

One of my all time fave feel good movies. As ever, Asia is correct ....spending that amount of money in thirty days, particularly back then, not as easy as it first seems. :-) PLEASE add HOLY MAN (1998 )with Eddie Murphy, to your list, you guys will absolutely love it. Eddie is superb as ever. So funny and offbeat.
Yoooo! What a deep cut, I love this movie. Pretty sure I could spend 30 mil in 30 days. I'm with Brewster, go for it.
Oh man. I had TOTALLY forgotten about this movie. Kudos to those who recommended it. Pryor & Candy lol Fun Fun Fun.
I really liked this movie back in the day. I think I was around 16 when it came out.
I'm so glad you did this movie, one of my favs
"None of the Above" - brilliant
Love this movie.... His best movie ever is SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL!!! Him and Gene Wilder are amazing in it. Please watch that ❤
Love the reaction guys you can't go wrong with Richard Pryor definitely a comic genius this is a great movie with him and John Candy but definitely need to check out Sliver Streak and Stir Crazy with Gene Wilder

Not to mention the more you spread the spending out (if you can) the more odds one of them spends it on something that's an asset or does like his friend did and hides it away to help him. Assuming of course you don't have corrupt lawyers trying to make you fail as well.
@@liamwarner5749 Yes, but couldn't you say that the people you are hiring are like a financial advisor? You are hiring people to find things that you want to spend your money on. It would be the equivalent of hiring a car broker to find you a vintage car, or an art dealer helping you find some great paintings. Only here, it would be experiences. The people's job would be to find experiences for you to spend money on.
For example, if I was to take on this kind of challenge today, I would go spend the money on going to space. I think there was a billionaire, might have even been Jeff Bezos, who paid millions of dollars just to go up in space for like a day. I would just pay to go like 10 times in two weeks, and the money would be gone. This is the kind of experience I would hire the people to find for me if it was the early 80's - the equivalent of going to space.
Technically, a retainer is an asset.
Space Flights. You could easily drop 25 million or so on a 1 day orbit, or something like that.
I loved this movie, saw it when it came out and I loved the ending.
So glad you're watching these older movies that really brings one back.
Pryor was super in 80's "Stir Crazy" with Gene Wilder.
Be well 👍✌️
Sad that both Richard and John are gone now. Great reaction as always. Doing a deep cut.
I absolutely love watching your videos!! You guys are really honest with your reactions, and I appreciate that.
Thank you! Nice to see something reacted to that hasn't been done 500 times.
One of my favorite classic comedy films. Glad you guys had a great time with it!
There should be a law called Brewster's Law that any ballot must contain a "None Of The Above" entry. Maybe then the candidates will concentrate on what matters to the people rather than just attacking the other party.
One of my most favorite movies. If I see it showing, I will stop to watch it...always. 👍👍
Warren was the dad in the tv show 7th Heaven and he also was in the first Star Trek movie!
Omg sweet!! Love this movie! I’m gonna dive right in. Thanks for watching this movie, nobody does.
What was AMAZING about Richard Pryor is that he was not a trained actor, he started out as a stand-up comedian and got a lucky break to star in a movie that led to more movies, yet he proved to be a great actor.
I like to think about all the people he payed to do silly jobs. How the money went back into the community. Maybe the security guard was able to afford braces for his daughter or glasses for his son. Things like that make me love Brewster. I also like to think that he was very generous after he got the big money too. Thanks so much you guys! Great movie. I've loved it since childhood.
I’m so happy you did this! One of my favorites.. thanks for the reaction
Another great Prior and Wilder movie is See No Evil Hear No Evil or reverse Hear No Evil See No Evil. One is deaf the other blind. Absolutely hilarious!
This was a fun movie when it came out. It fulfilled everyone's fantasy. But it also spoke to all the corruption at the time. Especially within New York and politics.
Whooooa I have been waiting years for someone to do a reaction to this movie!!!!!!!! You 2 have earned my devotion today. ok, so heres a little of what you noticed but didnt recognize
Rick Moranis was the repeat guy, aan 1 of the bankers played boss in tv show Bewitched Larry Stevens, Lin Shaye from from insidious movies she during 80s had tons of rolls like in this film where shes placed in a group setting TV reporter in Pump Up the Volume she played a concern parent in Nightmare on Elm St. she was a teacher. Shes so young in here prob wont recognize her as the old physic in Insidious
Two names and two words....Richard Pryor....Gene Wilder....STIR CRAZY!👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing movie.... its been decades since i watched this sleeper hit so thank you guys
✌️🙂
You guys rock for reacting to this! Awesome, just awesome.
Richard Pryor had another little known comedy in the 80's called "The Toy" if you need a fix.
Was The Toy Jackie Gleason’s final movie?
The lawyer was Darrin's boss on Bewitched. Mr. Larry Tate.
No, BJ, Denny's, not IHOP.
Warren was the dad, the Rev. Camden, on TV's 7th Heaven, as well as Captain Decker in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
You still need to react to John Candy in Stripes (1981) and Splash (1984).
Omg yes! What a great movie! VOTE None of the Above! 😂
Maaaaaaaan, I grew up on this movie. This is one of those films we had on Beta (VCR) and would just watch over and over or have it on in the background in the play room or when we were doing sommat else.
Now this what I’m talking about. Love these classics 👍
One of my favorite movies. Very underrated and under the radar.
I love this movie, even in 2023 i still believe it is the best film of Richard Pryor. I have seen this many times over the years and never get tired of it. John Candy and rest of cast are great.
You HAVE to watch The Toy! Mr. Pryor is on point with the comedy and it's such a good message. Even if you don't react-you should watch.
😆BJ, watch a ballgame, my guy. Yes, a grand slam is a bases-loaded home run. And points in baseball are runs. 😂
What many overlook is he gets 30 million win or lose - they said nothing about giving any of that back - only he had to 'waste it' to get 300 million.
I was impressed when I saw David White in this as one of the Legal Firm's partners as I knew him from Bewitched in the 60's on TV growing up. Larry Tate taught me a little about life at a young age. His ability to flip sides when money was involved is legend.
I can't believe you watched this! I saw it just a couple months ago. Good stuff.
See no Evil, Hear no Evil is another GREAT Richard Pryor film.
Similar films are... "trading spaces", "arthur (the original)"..maybe "king ralph"...and that anne hathaway film haha
This is funny!! BJ's mind looks like he is living it out through the movie! LOL
The Toy, Harlem Nights, Stir Crazy 👍
"You don't make calls, you don't make sales" is the old version of "shooters shoot!!"
I've watched this movie since I was a kid and I had never had an issue until that reporter said, "Montgomery Brewster just inherited $30 Million dollars, TAX FREE!!!"" Grown up me was just like, NOPE, TOTAL FANTASY!! Not a chance!! Government isn't giving up their taxes for your honky grandpa's game!!!! He more likely starts with $20M lol.
Unless the uncle paid the tax on the 30 million before he got it because he was going to win 300 million and its 10% of it or whatever
