- In the iconic scene from "Trading Places," directed by John Landis, we witness the unraveling of a high-stakes social experiment gone awry. The film's central characters, Louis Winthorpe III (played by Dan Aykroyd) and Billy Ray Valentine (played by Eddie Murphy), confront the reality of their manipulated lives. Winthorpe, awakening from a nightmarish reality where he loses everything, shares his disbelief and horror with his butler, Coleman. He recounts how a "terrible, awful" turn of events led him to poverty and disdain, blaming it on a sinister bet made by the affluent Duke brothers.
Valentine, equally aggrieved, realizes the depth of their manipulation, exclaiming the betrayal they've suffered for a mere dollar. The duo then uncover the Dukes' plan to monopolize the frozen orange juice market using insider information, setting the stage for their intricate revenge.
In a blend of humor and critique, the scene pivots on the concept of wealth's fragility and the superficial boundaries separating society's classes. Landis masterfully intertwines the themes of greed, power, and retribution, leading Winthorpe and Valentine to scheme against their oppressors. Their plan? To invert the financial game, turning the rich into the poor.
Amidst this backdrop, a subplot involving security head Clarence Beeks adds another layer of intrigue, revealing the lengths to which the Dukes will go to secure their fortune. As Winthorpe and Valentine rally to outsmart the Dukes, the film reaches its crescendo, setting up a showdown that delves into the heart of Wall Street's speculative frenzy.
"Trading Places" remains a seminal work for its incisive commentary on social stratification, the capricious nature of fortune, and the enduring human spirit's quest for justice. Through its memorable characters and engaging narrative, it exposes the thin line between the haves and the have-nots, all while delivering a timeless lesson wrapped in satire.
I'm calling it right now: Trading Places is a Christmas movie.
Every year! Also a New Year's movie: do the loco motion 🚂🍹🍸🍷🎉🎈🎆
Yeah, I don't think christmas so much as a holiday movie. From Thanksgiving to New Year! Still, I watch it every year, usually on the 26th of December.
One of the GREATS 👍
Called in the 80’s mate. 😂
Nope can't call it a Christmas movie. It came out June 8,1983. For it to be a Christmas movie it has to come out on Christmas. Deal with it.
Ah! The 80s man! What a wonderful time to be alive that was...
Yes, fuck 2024 😧
Art yes. Crime no. Salary and housing yes.
"It was the Dukes! It was the Dukes!"
will never get old
That and "Is there a problem officers?"
I watch this gem of a movie every New Year. It has so many wonderful lines to quote.
"A whole five dollars? Maybe I'll go to the movies. By myself."
Called by a bank claiming I have money they need to distribute. How much? $4.00. I'm laughing, using that quote. Then the bank employee starts laughing!
Half of it is from me.
I quote isreal's line all the time
@@oldzy Yeah, the "half of it is from me" just puts it over the top! It was already a funny, dry commentary and Don Ameche makes it a classic joke!
"Beef jerky time"
More than 40 years old and this movie doesn't age still watch this around new years
Fantastic
It does age. No white actor would ‘black up ‘ now.
@fayesouthall6604 Justin Trudue he's an actor, he'll do blackface again
Clarence Beeks telling that woman to fuck off while he’s on the pay phone never fails to crack me up.
Beeks was Shooter McGavin's stepdad.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 and somehow related to Richard Vernon 😂
Now it's the other way around nowadays
This is a movie that refuses to get old. It just stands the test of time as one of the great comedies, ever. Every performance- every one- solid gold. What an ensemble! The writing- Brilliant. Hilarious. Maybe because finance, greed, and retribution are “evergreen”, it continues to be timely? Trading Places has earned itself a place as one of the most satisfying and entertaining movies in all of movies. Thanks for posting this, Josh! I gotta re-watch. Something to look forward to….
You have to give John Landis credit. The man made a lot of great comedies.
@@PrimarchXAgree 100%
The actors seemed like old adults to me when I seen this at the theater. Now they look like young adults to me.
I’ve said “Beef Jerky time” everytime I’ve had beef jerky for years. I forgot where I got it from.
I say it out loud every time I see beef jerky. Every once in a while, someone at the gas station will get the reference. I do remember where I got the quote! 😊
Same 😂😂
I always sing like him before eating beef jerky😂
Muy bien y
Never heard it.
Shout out for the Dukes appearance in Coming to America
Yes both directed by John Landis. Awesome how he worked that in. If you did see trading places you wouldn't make the connection.
“We’re back!”
No planning of revenge is compete without a butler bringing egg nog.
Served cold, like revenge.
And shotguns.
Truer words have NEVER been said.
And no butler is complete without a British accent.
“ A Dollar “ I loss my sh*t every time..
I lose my 💩
And now they have the $1.25 store
Best movie about finance EVER.
For the people who get confused about the ending. Just remember the core philosophy of capitalism. Buy low, sell high. It all makes sense if you remember that little nugget.
Great film. I miss the 80’s.
Amen.
80's 🎥 films were 🏆 🥇 Prized Golden 💎 Gems, I enjoy the Nostalgic Value they offer shoots ya back in time.
My favorite part of this movie is NOT even in this movie -- It's when Price Akeem (formerly Billy Ray Valentine) gives all his money to the now homeless Randolph and Mortimer Duke in the movie "Coming to America"
Love the way Coleman says "Egg Nog?" Like "Let's Roll!"
Ralph bellamy was such a great villain in the movie.
❤😮wow "Operation Strange Fruit" , Billie Holiday reference
This is the first time I’ve seen Marcus Brody outside of Indiana Jones
Mr. Coleman is clearly happy here for a chance to get back at his employers the Duke brothers for them making him betray the man he was butler to - Louis Winthorpe III.
I so love this movie 🍿, watching this movie 🎥 gives me the feeling of nostalgia. The Bronx, New York
One of my all time favorites!!! Great Christmas movie!!!
Loved the show. Escaped denizens of SNL. Who knew that agricultural products can have such an impact?
Billy Ray Valentine..
Capricorn.
Yeah
How come no one gets mad at Coleman for going along with it??
Because if he hadn't he would have been fired and the Dukes would have done it anyway.
@@noahhobson4521 Then stand and be fired.
Because the Dukes told him that it was just a scientific experiment. I guess Coleman thought that it would be for a short time, more like a prank than a real life changing bet.
He was technically under the Duke's employ so he had to follow their orders. He was in truth, disgusted by having to do this.
@@BillyButcher90 That's what I'm saying. He should have stood and quit. And I think it was a little weird that he was employed by the Dukes and not by Louis. Did Louis also have to buy his groceries from a company store?
Love this move. Does a great job showing the true difference between the ultra wealthy and someone who is well off.
My all time favorite Christmas movie 💚
This movie, The Ref and Scrooged are a perfect Trifecta even during Hanukkah!! ROFLMAO 😂😅
"F*ck off!" - I still quote that line to this day
Mr. Vernon from The Breakfast Club looking like Inspector Gadget. 🤔
I love the Reagan and Nixon portraits.
@jimmiller5600 I still laff at that . I thought I was the only person in 1983 that noticed that. In the 🎥 movie 🍿 theater, when those 2 were shown. I'd just BURST💥💣out laffing when that scene passed by & nobody else understood why. Other movie goes going Shhhhh....10 frames later while I continued laffing.
@@RICHBLACKCOCK Forty years later we have $34T in debt and an accused felon for president. JFC.
This movie, just doesn’t get any funnier. It’s a masterpiece
I still crack up when Beeks tells off the lady waiting to use the pay phone!😀
I wonder if in the very near future phone booths will only be seen in movies like trading places, terminator and falling down.
I love how Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd stand up and say “Clarence Beeks?” at the exact same time.
The only movie I have seen with a future U.S. Senator in it.
running man and predator, with 2 future usa state governors.
3:27...Fun fact, the TV version had a bonus scene showing exactly how Beeks obtained the crop report; don't know why it never made the theatrical cut
yeah, but it cut out a Jamie Leigh and a couple of big beautiful melons .
He got it off of Hunter Biden’s laptop…😳
I never caught that it was "operation strange fruit". Pretty dark if you know where that comes from.
I just looked that up. Yeah, very dark. I think the reference in a comedy movie was inappropriate.
"Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees."
We rewatched the other night! It was the Dukes!
Desert Island movie choice. Love so much!!
"Or beats them to it."
Nice that Denholm Elliott got the best line in the movie.
Best Holiday movie ever!
Don't know why but that eggnog scene made me think of Batman and Robin with Alfred and aunt Harriet.😂😂😂
I literally thought I was looking at a Batman remake when I saw the butler.
This was such a good movie!
2:44 Me in the early 80s trying to eavesdrop on my sisters' phone calls.
May I suggest using your night stick officer?
Wasn't the guy who played Beeks also the principle in The Breakfast Club?
That is correct.
"MERRY NEW YEAR!!!"
I say this every year since I first saw this movie! 😂
Because Coleman was the butler doing what he was told and helped get revenge and redemption
Love this movie. Still no idea on how the revenge worked.
A simplified version:
Bad guys (Duke brothers) pay a government official for secret information on the Florida orange crop. The report says the cold weather did NOT hurt the orange crop, therefore the price of oranges will be low and thus the price of orange futures will be low.
Good guys (Louis and Billy) intercept the report and swap it out with a fake report saying the crop has been badly damaged, therefore the price of oranges and orange futures will be high.
The bad guys get the false report. They buy up all orange futures contracts at a medium to high price, believing that the price will go even higher when the report is released. They make many promises to pay people because they are spending more money than they actually have.
The real report is released, causing the price of oranges futures to drop. The bad guys are stuck with contracts to pay high prices for very low price orange futures. They have to sell everything they own to pay their debts and lose their prominent positions as stock traders with all the privilege and power.
Finally, the good guys helped shuffle the contracts back and forth, getting a small percentage of each deal, and have become very rich for a few hours work.
This movie never gets old
this is my favorite scene of the whole movie how calm eddie murphy is while dan aykroyd is cleaning a shotgun to shoot people
Best Christmas movie ever. (Die Hard isn’t even close to this one.)
And a Top 20 all-time comedy classic.
WHOS BEEN PUTTING OUT THEIR KOOLS ON MY FLOOR?!?!?
Lmfaoooo Yo This Movie Is LEGENDARY 😂😂😂
That's Jim Belushi in the gorilla suit in his seventh acting credit on IMDB.
5:10 Remson sure has come a long way from being locked in that car trunk.
Back when movies rely on a good script, and cast to be successful. Not special effects or stupid unbelievable stunts like in the Fast and Furious!
"Looking Good...Feeling Good" . Ending da BEST !!!😅
Cut the best part when he meets Dan Aykroyd on the train
Absolute CLASSIC 💯, this film is timeless 😅
Sort of like our Congress how they do insider trading they talk about making you all invest in it and then the law gets passed and written
I love this movie so much.
Merry New Year 😂
3:00
Speaking like a true gentleman... I dont know why I found this so funny . Is that Debra Barone there before she married Raymond and moved to Long Island ?
Senator Al Franken. Awesome.
One thing is for sure, Dan Aykroyd did not use the "Tarantino" technic to strangle Eddie Murphy
That's a crazy scene from Inglorious Bastards.
jaime lee rockin' that pair
Look how young they all look.
worst thing about this movie was, after it was shown, and the usa government changed the finance rules, they called it the eddie murphy rule, instead of the dan ayckroyd rule. remember, it was winthorpe who came up with the plan on how to exploit the existing laws.
4:46 Vernon antagonizing the gorilla. A certain high school student a few years later would antagonize Vernon during Saturday school detention
One of the best movie ever lol
Beef jerky time!
Harvey, the ape must have been James Buluchi's 1st film role.
0:04 Love that movie
Makes me want to watch this again.
Me too, got the DVD somewhere.👍
Jamie Lee Curtis is such a hottie in this movie
her chests unreal
@@whitetroutchannel Absolute perfection.
Yes, she looked great in jeans. Fap fap fap. Today, 41 years later, she's a grey-haired woman with no biological kids. Sad. All she has is an Oscar statuette. An inanimate object. That's all she has to show for 46 years in the industry. She never went through labour pains, never nursed a baby, never enjoyed genuine motherhood. Maybe seeing her own odious father cheat on her own mother put her off from making babies. Or maybe she was just infertile. Her existence will always be defined by a mere statuette. What a life.
Such a awesome movie 🤙🤙🤙
Great movie
Another Fun Fact, it's senator to be, Al Franken as the baggage handler. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.
... and his comedy partner Tom Davis.
Another Fun fact...the black guy in the suit is Eddie Murphy, he was a star in the 80s.
@@philpalmer4877 Oh, all this time, I had thought it was Chris Rock. Thanks, man!
1:28 But it's the American Way!
"..for how much?"......"A Dolla...." lol
4:38 Rush, Driven
Abula, abula, abula ha! 🤣
Did you notice that your quote caused a "Translate to English" option to appear?
It is, "Don't be, don't be, don't be them!"
LOL
I wonder if that was accidental.
@Astrobrant2 What it be like? Do you feel me? 😉🤣
@@Stephen-fe8bq Huh? I have no idea what you are asking. And this time Google didn't give me a "Translate to English" option.
@Astrobrant2 I couldn't find the translate to English, but that's not the point! It was just funny and if you want to make a big thing about it, then that's your problem not mine! Take it easy! 😊

At 1.31 she's watching Coming to America on the TV
_Coming to America_ was released five years after _Trading Places._
Okay, you can say, "Made ya look!" now.
Oh, Dear...
Never understood why they were acting like they had to be a priest, a Swede, exchange student etc. or their cover would be blown. EVERYONE was in costume on the train. Still, awesome movie.
I think the fact there was a costume party going on lent more credence to the possibility of this exact combination of people. you cant tell if they are being serious or just goofing in costume. so you just dont question it.
"There's still time to save Han!"
Eddie murphy. Not billy d williams.
@@thomasboaz9950 Was a joke.
It was payback time for the dukes
Regrettably, the guy that played the Butler he died from HIV we can all guess why.
yep !!!!!!!!!!
No. I'm from Sveden
But you're wearing l-lederhosen?
Fun fact the butler was in end stages AIDS during this
They put the Gorilla in with the real Gorilla... funny.
You will help me with my rucksack??
At 4:30 , isn’t that a disgrace congressman that felt up a woman while she was unconscious?
He didn't feel her up. He didn't touch her. It was a prank picture.
There's actually no such thing as 24 hundred Hours, this is just stuff that they used to say in the 80s
it should have been 0 Hundred Hours (Ohh Hundred Hours) some call it Zero Hundred hours, that's ok i guess
"I anticipate penetration and acquisition at 10pm, hold on ( f**k off ) , time of rontavous will be at 12am in the parking garage in the orange section with final payment upon delivery"!

I love that gorrilla 😅
BEEF JERKY TIME
Umm...what "redemption"?? Just more click bait. The groundwork comes in another excerpt, and that excerpt will lead you to another excerpt whose title will also be misleading. As I said--click bait..
Redemption:the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt.
