I'll definitely add my voice to those telling you that "Coming to America" should now be added to your watch list. It answers a "whatever happened to..." question from this movie. It's also a really fun comedy, one of Eddie Murphy's best.
U should watch "Coming to America" next...u will see why lol...and happy new year beautiful
Yeah - you ask what happens to The Dukes? Check out 'Coming to America'.
Thank you! Happy New Year to you as well!
This is such a fun movie. This was the movie that introduced me to Eddie Murphy back in the early 80s. Set in my hometown of Philadelphia. :)
"Happy New Year, Tara!" I sure have been Missing You all week, it'll be good to Watch-&-Chat with You again today!
Reminder, You really need to watch "Coming to America" at some point; it's another one of Eddie Murphy's Best and there is an "Easter Egg" scene that calls back to this movie.
Shouldn't the greeting be "MERRY New Year!!!"?
Thank you! Happy New Year to you as well!
Coming to America would be a good watch after seeing this movie. Those that know.....know.
In the scene where Mortimer disses on Randolph's heart attack, Don Ameche requested that only one take be done, and that no mistakes be made. The reason for this was that he didn't like to swear and that he didn't want to swear repeatedly.
Another piece of information. The police officer going through Lewis's things whe he is being booked is none other than the voice of Yoda himself, Frank Oz.
Eddie Murphy did several other projects before 1984's BEVERLY HILLS COP. While still a cast member of the comedy TV show SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE from 1980 to mid 1984, Eddie's first movie was 48 HOURS (1982). In 1983 Eddie did TRADING PLACES and also his stand up comedy show DELIRIOUS. In 1984 Eddie did BEST DEFENSE and BEVERLY HILLS COP. In 1986 Eddie did THE GOLDEN CHILD. In 1987 Eddie did BEVERLY HILLS COP 2 and his stand up comedy film RAW. In 1988 Eddie did COMING TO AMERICA. In 1989 Eddie starred in and directed HARLEM NIGHTS. In 1990 Eddie did ANOTHER 48 HOURS.
When Aykroyd is having his things gone through by the officer, the man going through it is Frank Oz who voices Miss Piggy and Yoda.
On a fun fact: When Aykroyd brother in the Blues Brothers, played by John Belushi is released from jail, again it is Frank Oz who gives him back this time his possessions.
Please if you haven't watched the Blues Brothers you should it's a great movie.
tara the actor who played beaks also played the police chief dewayne t robinson in the 1st die hard
1. Aykroyd made his bones (as did Murphy) first on the original Saturday Night Live.
2. He also worked with John Belusi in the Blues Brothers.
3. Beeks is played by the late Paul Gleason. He also played Richard/Dick Vernon in "The Breakfast Club" and the idiot deputy police chief in "Die Hard".
4. The police officer that tells Louis the powder is PCP is Frank Oz the voice for Kirmit, Yoda and many of the Muppets.
5. The studio didn't want Jamie Lee Curtis for the roll of Ophilia because they only saw her as a scream queen, but Landis insisted on casting her. Good for us.
5. I like how sympathetic Coleman is to Billy Ray. You can tell early on that he has no love for the Dukes.
6. In the restaurant when Billy Ray is about to speak it's a play on the old EF Hutton commercial. "When EF Hutton speaks everybody listens"
7. One of the most paused scenes in VHS history.😍🥰🤩 (JLC)
8. I wonder where Winthorp got all those drugs (and the gun) for only $50 Even in 1983.
9. There's an Easter egg regarding the Dukes in Murphy's "Coming to America". HINT/HINT
10. When Don Ameche says "Fuck him" regarding his brother he insisted that they use only the one take, because of his religious background he didn't want to swear at all. He also had an issue with the N word too.
Wow thanks for all these facts! :)
Frank Oz does the voices of Yoda, Bert, Miss Piggy & Fozzie Bear...Not Kermit...Jim Henson did Kermit.
If you want more Dan Aykroyd, I recommend the Blues Brothers (the original--he's in Blues Brothers 2000, but that sequel is not well regarded).
Merry New Year! great reaction! 8:42 That was going easy on him for today's standards. 35:23 Thanks for also thinking how they would have had to practice all the stuff on the train. never heard a reactor mention it before.
Hahah it struck me as very funny, the idea that before they got on the train they probably made up that chant and practiced the rucksack distraction and everything loll
The two old men were based on the two old hecklers from the Muppet Show which were also Marley and Marley in the Muppet Christmas Carol :)
Good to see the Beautiful,Lovely Tara again.😍I hope that everything is well and good with you and your family.These 80s movies is bringing back memories of my teenage years.Remember Eddie Murphy recorded an album "Who Could It Be" and a hit song "Party All The Time" with Rick James🎵🇺🇲
Merry New Year'! If you think that Die Hard is a Christmas movie, than Trading Places is also.
You have to watch " Coming to America" now for a fun connection to this movie, and just a great time. Happy New Year 🥰🥂🎇❤️
Happy New Year to you!!
Dan Aykroid and Jamie Lee Curtis were also in "Christmas With The Kranks"
Both Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy got their start on Saturday Night Live, though Akroyd was no longer on the show when Murphy began. I would not be surprised if they met on the set anyway, with Akroyd visiting or as a guest host, during Murphy's time there, or through the show's producer, Lorne Micheals who clearly had a keen eye for comedic talent.
Perfect timing for New Year
The 2 Old Men were 2 Hollywood Legends from the 1930's and 1940's, Don Ameche and Rakph Bellamy. Both had a comeback later in life. Don Ameche was also in the movies Cocoon and Coming to America. Ralph Bellamy was also in the movies Pretty Woman and Oh God!
Tara, I wish I could spend a few hrs talking with you, there is sooooooo much culturally rich inside baseball you had to be in the 80s to understand. Just a couple points, as comedians that grew up poor, all the SNL guys made movies making a lampoon of the uber rich in the crossover from the late 70s through the 80s and they all share similar characteristics. The music and they are all filmed in these amazing mansions. The reality is interesting too, those mansions by the hundreds are all on the market today, for sale for a fraction of the potential value. There was a tail end of living that was really ending in the 80s that they are spoofing. The wealth and life the poor aspired to is so shown here. This existed in the US in a handfull of cities as it still does today.
Id recommend Brewsters Millions and The Toy.
Only in America: one of the baggage handler, attending the gorilla, is a future US Senator, Al Franken.
Another movie hints at what happened to the Duke brothers. Keep watching movies, and you're sure to see it.
Will do!! :)
Another great reaction to a classic comedy.
Happy Holidays, Tara. 👍✌❤
Thank you! Happy Holidays!!
What an enjoyable reaction. Thanks for sharing it. Hope your 2023 exceeds all your expectations.
Merry New Year, Tara!
❤
Merry New Year!! :)
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Such a quotable movie " Those MEN wanted to have SEX with me! Kills me every time!
Good Afternoon Eric! I hope Tara doesn't skip over My Favorite scene, although...I'll understand if she has to. 😍
@@tomhoffman4330 So...what's your favorite scene Scott?
@@e.d.2096 Well, here's a Hint: "Food and Rent are Not the only things here that cost money..." 🤑
@@tomhoffman4330 Ooo... The Boob scene. Yeah I get it Scott.
@@tomhoffman4330 ah, a man with a two-track mind 😏
"He's that gorilla's bitch now" .. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time! :D
😂😂
FYI Trivia: the bald police officer: Frank 'Yoda' Oz.
Another good reaction. Your personality really comes through. Keep it up :)
Thanks Tim! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my reactions :) I really enjoyed this one!
I wonder if it was 2100hrs when Beaks received, um... penetration.
It was another enjoyable watch with you! BTW The butler Coleman is also well known for being Indiana Jones' buddy in the movies! (Except for I think Temole.) Classic movie! Classic cast. I wish you (and Jen) and your entire family a Happy New Year. Let's keep having fun watching movies together!😀❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
I especially loved Denholm Elliott (Coleman/Marcus Brody) in his role as Selsdon, in "Noises Off" (1992).
Thank you so much! A happy New Year to you and yours as well!
The Duke brothers make another appearance in Coming to America. Another Eddie Murphy movie.
Other good Dan Aykroyd movies are The Coneheads and The Blues Brothers. Eddie Murphy movies the other two Beverly Hills cops movies, Coming To America, The Golden Child, The Nutty Professor, Vampire In Brooklyn and Norbit. You will not be disappointed.
It's MERRY NEW YEAR! Geeeeez! Didn't anyone watch the movie!
and yes tara when valentine was put in the back of the police car he was looking at us an he was saying "ain't that a bitch"
Happy New Year Tara and please watch Dan Aykroyd again in Ghostbusters Afterlife. Also Afterlife have Mid&Post-credits scenes don't forget to watch those too 😉.
Thank you! Happy New Year to you as well!
Happy New Year Tara.
Thank you, and a Happy New Year to You!
at 12:07, the guy behind Eddie is a young Giancarlo Esposito
😎👍 This was the first of a lot of movies that paired Dan Aykroyd up with Jamie Leigh Curtis. "Christmas With The Kranks" was another. My personal favorite Eddie Murphy movie is "Bowfinger" (1999), which also stars Steve Martin.
A lot of viewers get on winthorpe’s case about being spoiled or lazy. His character hired a butler and winthorpe does earn his money. He’s just a lil arrogant but learns…👍🏼
I loved your reactions to this movie 😊. BTW Coming to America should be your on next watch list. See if you can pick up a reference from this movie.
Coming to America is definitely a good movie starring Eddie Murphy and so is the Great Outdoors with Dan Aykroyd the late John Candy. Hope you consider checking out and or reacting to them.
MERRY NEW YEAR!!!
And a Merry New Year to you!
The next Eddie Murphy one you need to do is Coming to America. It has a throwback to this film.
You need to checkout Eddie Murphy's first movie 48 Hours
For more Eddie Murphy you should watch his first movie, *48 Hours,* which is very different from this, or the comedy he was known for. Very good imo.
love the intro Tara very good
Now we need to see Coming To America and see if you spot the Cameos.
To explain the trading floor scene, as I understand it: It was a quirk of the system that actual purchases and sales only had to be settled at days end, not at the time, so you could sell something before you even had it, as long as you then purchased it before the end of the day. Most of us would be crazy to do so, because we might get hedged into a situation where we had to buy what we'd sold at an inflated price if we were wrong about which way the price was going. Unless you know in advance, as here, that the price was going to go down, so you would be able to buy to cover your sales for a much lower price than you had sold it for, thus making a profit without ever having to lay down a penny.
That being said, I don't quite then understand why they needed the investment from Coleman and Ophelia. Can anyone explain that to me?
I'm honestly not sure why they needed the cash. If you think about it, it doesn't really make sense. You pretty much explained it correctly though. They were "selling short," which means you're selling a share you don't have for whatever it's worth at the time. Then, once the OJ report was broadcast, it drove down the price of the share. So, in order to settle up with the trade commission, the had to buy back the shares they sold that they didn't actually have. Doing so, they sold at 149 and bought at 29. I don't think what Winthorp and Valentine did is legal anymore though. If I'm correct, it's actually called the Eddie Murphy Law.
Im not sure if its needed so much as they are buying in and so that they can profit too.
@@crankfastle8138 As I understand it, it was basically a security deposit to be allowed into the trading floor at all (since they obviously couldn't or wouldn't go through the Dukes to get access), and given a line of credit that greatly exceeded the amount of the deposit. Winthorpe and Valentine took their line of credit and made a huge profit; the Dukes took theirs and made a huge loss, and when the margin call came in, they owed it immediately and were bankrupted.
I don't think they actually needed the money from Coleman and Ophelia; they just wanted Coleman and Ophelia to have a share in the scheme and therefore get a share of the $394 million Winthorpe and Valentine made.
Just a heads up about your desire to visit Philly.
Philly is the poorest major city in the US, with an extremely lax system of justice and a high murder rate and car jacking rate. In 2026, the city will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, the historic parts of the city have lately become more congested with fairly violent homeless residents and thugs that rob people outside some of the nice restaurants in "Old City". They (we) will try to prep for the celebrations, but there needs to be change in too many things to consider it safe enough for tourists.
Any time, but especially in 2025, Boston / Lexington / Concord will probably have enough to satisfy your historical curiosity, with a lot less danger. In 1975, they did up the Bicentennial well, including an appearance by the US President (Ford).
As others have suggested, watch COMING TO AMERICA with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, while this is still fresh on your mind.
Don't know why anyone would say this is a New Year's movie because they ride a train on New Year's Eve for a very small part of the movie where the fact that it is New Year's Eve has nothing to do with the movie.
You’re right, it’s not a major theme in the movie at all! Nevertheless, since I have never seen these movies, all I can do is google “new year’s eve movies” and go with what comes up haha and this movie appeared in every new year movie list I found!
Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy was cast members together on Saturday Night Live. That is where they met.
I stand corrected. That was bad form on my part. Thank you so much for going out of your way to correct my grammar.
I’m sorry it came off a little sarcastic. But I truly did appreciate the correction. My Aunt was an English teacher and she had taught me proper syntax and grammar. So I appreciate it when someone points out my mistakes. I hope you have a Happy New Year as well.
@Michael Austin: Actually, that's wrong.
Dan Akroyd was an ORIGINAL Saturday Night Live cast member - he was on the show from 1975 ( when SNL started ) - 1979. While Eddie Murphy didn't join the cast of SNL until 1980, and stayed until 1984.
Although Akroyd and Muphy probably did meet, when Akroyd returned to guest host the show [ also when he and ( the late ) John Belushi returned as The Blues Brothers as musical guests. ]
@@robertc.1958Thank you for the correction I knew that they were cast members but didn’t realize that they were not cast members together. I grew up during the Adam Sandler, Chris Farley era of Saturday Night Live.
@@michaelsk77 Oh. O.K. That's cool. I remember that era, too. But, being an OLD guy - I also remember watching ORIGINAL "Saturday Night Live," with Akroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner. And when Chevy Chase left to try his hand at being in comedy movies, he was replaced by Bill Murray.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Tara, taraffic channel and reactions, happy new year! Have a good one and all the best for 2023. It's great you've seen this comedy classic, I love this movie and I loved your reaction to it. I highly recommend another hilarious movie; Coming To America (1988) starring Eddie Murphy. And spoiler: the Duke brothers from Trading Places make a cameo appearance in it! And please check out Dan Aykroyd's 1980 musical comedy The Blues Brothers for the channel.
Hi James! Thanks so much! A Happy New Year to you and yours!!
Definitely a more vindictive reaction to enjoying Lewis get his life ruined then most reactions I've seen.
Aww I don’t know if I would call it vindictive… I don’t think louis deserved everything that happened to him! It was just fun to watch it all unfold! :)
tara the way winthrop and the cops treated valentine in the beginnig of the movie is how white america still treats black people today
Eddie Murphy had a movie, Coming To America. Randolph and Mortimer were sleeping under newspapers. Eddie Murphy character gave them a bag of cash.
Shhh, its a surprise for when she watches it.
What's your ig
