It's astounding how truly talented Eddie Murphy was, even at such a young age. This film is one of the greatest comedies of the 80s, IMO.
musically too
Super underrated comedy
@@Caglecardscollectibles21Dumbest Comment Ever
Was?
@@terribanks8633 I typed that comment out weirdly, I know. I mean to say that EVEN at that time, he displayed his brilliance.
Fun Fact: Don Ameche, who played Mortimer Duke, really didn't like to curse, so he screams "Fuck him!", he actually apologized beforehand to the entire cast, crew on the set and did the scene in one take. A true professional.
Another Fun Fact: The cop who says mockingly "it's an opera" back to Winthorpe is Frank Oz, the voice of Yoda. The more you know!
I love how that first fact is attributed to Ameche not wanting to say THAT, but I don't hear a similar fact for the scene where he had to say ni**er 😆
The Dukes' trader, Wilson, was Richard Hunt, who performed as Scooter, Janice, Sweetums, Beaker and other Muppets.
Did he apologise before dropping the N bomb? 😅
The same Frank Oz who also directed Little Shop of Horrors '86 / The Muppets Take Manhattan / Dirty Rotten Scoundrels / What About Bob? / The Dark Crystal (alongside the late Jim Henson), and appeared as the Property Clerk in The Blues Brothers / Test Proctor in Spies Like Us / Mr. Collins in An American Werewolf in London / puppeteered the Wiseman in Labyrinth, no less!
@@Talisman09 I'm not mad about that at all, it's just funny to me lol
I freakin’ love it when Eddie breaks the 4th wall in the commodities scene. Such a perfect Murphy moment. It’s like an invitation into his world. He builds deep camaraderie with the audience and you are instantly aware of (and appreciate) his point of view. Such a masterful artist.
Jamie Lee Curtis is 100% natural......her parents were Hollywood legends and she won the genetic lottery.
Yeah... yeah. That's about the best way to put it.
I was only 8 when this movie premiered, but I NEVER forgot "that scene" for the rest of my life.
She was/is simply a genetic masterpiece
@@Will-fk2dk You should see her in "Perfect"...
@@Will-fk2dk true lies for me. /kanye lip
I agree about Curtis' near perfection, but to be fair she was 24 when she made this film. The fact that she looked just as good 15 years later for True Lies is the real sign of her superior genetics. Most 24-year-old women look good.
@cmlemmus494 wait... "most 24 year old women look good"?
What? When did this happen, and where do these women live that you speak of?
The accuracy of this statement must😄 be checked.
A word about what kind of man Don Ameche (Mortimer Duke) was. Director Jon Landis REALLY wanted him for the role but when he saw in the script that he had to curse, he said he would need to be permitted to apologize to the cast and crew and asked that as few ladies as possible be on the set at the time. And the scene when he would have to drop the N-bomb, he said to Landis that he better have at least 2 cameras running, quiet set, make sure the microphones were working properly, etc. because he would only get one take, one shot, because he would only say that word one time. Landis agreed. He later said in an interview that acting is an honorable profession that does not necessarily require you to compromise your dignity as a human being.
It's also sometimes moral to portray immoral people. The Duke brothers are very good examples of very bad people.
The quote "here's Johnny!" is not originally from The Shining. They actually took it from The Tonight Show when Johnny Carson was the host. Every night when they introduced him as he came out on stage the announcer would say "heeeeerre's Johnny!!"
Now you need to see the sequel - "Coming to America" - Ok so its not a direct sequel but it does reveal what happened to Duke and Duke after the Frozen Orange Juice debacle... Also well worth the watch!!!
One of my favorite scenes in Coming to America.
THIS^^^^ COMING TO AMERICA!!!!!!!!
****SPOILER****
Yeah, but, they get redeemed in that movie.
"Mortimer - we're back!"
Lol yeah it's not nearly a sequel! That's like saying Pulp Fiction is a sequel to Curdled.
For more of the beautiful Jamie Lee Curtis and her bountiful... talents 😍 -
True Lies
A Fish Called Wanda
And the underrated Blue Steel
She's in a ton of other stuff (I'm sure others will chime in) and I don't think I've ever been disappointed by her.
True Lies is an amazing role of hers. Still gorgeous in it.
Fish Called Wanda is a great movie
Don't forget Halloween.
Halloween made her career
Ive seen this movie a million times & i never realized how dark it gets w/ Louis trying to kill himself until watching reactors react to it.
Also, the "here's Johnny" line is originally from the Johnny Carson show. Jack Nicholson just says it in the movie.
Holy cow!!!! We’re getting into classic 80s comedies now?!!?! This one is one of my faves!!!
“Beef jerky time!!”
“There’s _plenty,_ y’know!”
"No son, it gives me wind, something terrible."
@@texasracefanful "Oh!"
"I can walk! I have legs! Praise Jesus!"
Eddie is so funny here! Just killing it in every scene 🤣🤣🤣
Coming to America exists in the same universe, so don't wait too long to catch it if you haven't already.
It was actually cool to see it 5 years later and recognize the Dukes. Lol
Never clicked on a video faster in my life. This movie holds a special place in my heart, it was me and my families favorite comedy growing up
Me too!
Ours too - my brother and I still do “we are moving!” every time we’re on a train or subway.
@@vespoint my mom says it to me every chance she gets still 😂
One of the baggage handlers on the train is Al Franken - American politician, comedian, writer, actor, and media personality who served as a United States senator from Minnesota from 2009 to 2018. Franken first gained fame as a writer and performer on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live.
Watching him in this always makes me laugh so much. Love Al Franken.❤
Career Sexual Harrassor caught red handed in photos you forgot that one
“It ain’t cool being no jive turkey, so close to thanksgiving”.
This is one of my all-time favorite comedy movies! My family and I have been saying "MERRY NEW YEAR!" to each other for legit generations now!😂
That’s awesome
Us too! Haha. My sister is the only one who doesn’t partake. Every year she responds with “why are you guys so stupid?”
And then I just laugh like Cameroon Eddie. Ahahahaha
Same here. Lol
Love seeing others out there sharing this family tradition!
@@correypetaever thought of calling her beeks?
1. The booking officer is Frank Oz. (various Muppets/Yoda)
2. Beeks/Paul Gleason also played Richard Vernon in "The Breakfast Club" and the idiot police captain in "Die Hard". 😇
3. Landis didn't want Jamie Lee Curtis because she had always been a "scream queen" and he didn't know if she had the chops for comedy.
4. When everyone pauses in the restaurant it's a play on the old "EF Hutton" commercial. "When EF Hutton speaks everybody listens".
5. One of the most VHS pauses in history. Jamie Lee Curtis.😍🥰😋
6. GOOF: Where did Louis get the gun AND all those drugs for only $50?🤑Even in 1983.
7. Don Ameche's strong religious convictions made him uncomfortable with swearing. This proved to be a problem for the scene at the end of the movie, where he had to shout out "Fuck him!" to a group of Wall Street executives. When he did act out the scene, it had to be done in one take, because Ameche refused to do a second one. He also had an issue with the N word.
8. There's an Easter egg in "Coming to America" with the Duke brothers. Eddie Murphy at his best.
Truth about #6. I was paying way more for pot and coke in the 80s than anyone pays now and that was in 1980s dollars.
True that. That brings to mind "Up In Smoke". That big-ass joint in 1978 would cost about $40. Today $40 buys 3.5oz. 😭@@ronweber1402
The tall guy standing next to Ray in the cell is Gus from Breaking Bad.
He was in the cell with Eddie
Gorge Lucas was in Beverly hills cop 3
Don’t forget, this movie is sort of canon to Coming to America since Mortimer and Randolph were the homeless guys that were handed money
Randolph were back!!
Nice way to spoil the surprise. Well done…NOT.
Such a fun movie. Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis all in their primes, and throw in Denholm Elliott for shits and giggles is a recipe for an awesome time .
Arguably the best cast ever assembled in a comedy movie!
maybe Clue
Or Tropic Thunder
Not even close. You youngsters have probably never even heard of It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World!
I love opening credits sequence, showing us the difference between working-class Philadelphians starting their day vs. Coleman preparing Winthorpe's breakfast, while the music is the overture to Mozart's _The Marriage of Figaro_ (an opera about servants pulling one over on an abusive nobleman). Does a great job of setting up the "prince/pauper" theme of the film.
Jamie Lee Curt, man, those are real. There’s a reason she was known back in the day as “The Body”.
She married Nigel Tufnel of the legendary rock band, Spinal Tap.
The actor @ 17:56 processing Winthrop is Frank Oz. Otherwise known as the voice of Yoda.
9:54 Favorite joke in the whole movie. Coleman "it all sounds very, ...original"
This is a classic. When I was a kid, my only exposure to Eddie Murphy were his kids movies. This is the first movie I saw where he wasn't a loveable kids hero. Great movie that got me into his standup!
What’s funny is my childhood was the opposite haha I only saw him in his rated r comedies, so when I saw he was in shrek and daddy day care, for example, I was shocked
Funny thing is this was the first role I saw him in as a little kid.
(80's baby)
One of my favorite comedy movies. I got a movie reaction suggestion for you it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
Yes. Kirk Douglass, Martin Sheen, good movie. The Final Countdown
Late to the party, but just providing some info about the baggage handlers on the train. They were Al Franken and Tom Davis, a comedy writing team for the early days of SNL. Of course, Franken served as a US senator for nearly a decade. Davis was a successful screenwriter who unfortunately died at the age of 59 from cancer.
The bald cop going through Winthrop's belongings is also the voice actor for Yoda in the original Star Wars films back in the 70's and 80's. He also did a lot of muppet voices as well. His name is Frank Oz
The pawn shop guy was Bo Diddley. The guy ion the train dressed as a gorilla was John Belushi (Jim Belushi's brother). Paul Gleason played Clarence Beeks - he also played the detention monitor in The Breakfast Club. The booking cop is Frank Oz - voice of Kermit the Frog.
U missed one, 10:54 is Giancarlo Esposito - Gus from Breaking Bad
Akroyd and Curtis were also in My Girl. An outstanding film
Love this movie!
It's also the kind of movie that you watch every Christmas.
You know that young cat in the Cell was Giancarlo Esposito aka Buggin out from Do The Right Thing
Also, from what I remember of the 80's, the word "negro" was used more then, and it just meant black. I came up a bit later, so it still felt awkward for me to hear older people say it. But I could tell it was different from when they said the other word (like the Dukes did). But I'm white, so I don't know what it felt like to be a black person being called that back then.
Pork belly is where bacon comes from. So really good
I love the part when the Duke was having a heart attack and his brother said F' HIM!!
My first semester of college, back in '00, my sociology professor had us watch this movie - we were analyzing the *NATURE vs NURTURE* question posed by the Dukes which led to their bet.
Idk how you determine the movies you react to, but you’ve been killing it lately Leo! Love you man, keep it up
Eddie Murphy has to be one of the funniest people on the planet. His facial expressions and the way he talks are always perfect for the role he's playing. This movie, 48 hours with Nick Nolte, and Beverly Hills Cop are the kind of movies that you never get tired of watching.
Before "Here's Johnny!" was in the Shining, it was Ed McMahon catch phrase when he introduced Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. The Shining took it from that and made it creepy.
If you’re looking for a few more great Jamie Lee Curtis movies, she was in “Fish Called Wanda” with John Cleese and Michael Palin from Monty Python, or “True Lies” with Schwartzenegger. Of course Eddie Murphy is probably best known for “Coming to America” with Arsenio and James Earl Jones…. That movie has a great cameo with the old guys from this movie, as well as what I believe is Samuel L Jackson’s first big speaking role. ☮️❤️🎶
Great Movie! When i first started watching you as a reactor, i didn't care much for the reactions but i kept watching and you have become one of my favorite!
I read an article that did the math and valentine and Winthrop made over 400 million in 1983 money which in 2024 would be 1.2 billion
One of Eddie's best performances... definitely recommend checking out his filmography. Great reaction as always!
This movie is funny but proves a point.
Did you react to "Coming to America?" If not you should do it because Duke & Duke are in it. Great Job Leo!
One of my favorite Movies of All Time. Not simply a great Christmas Movie, it is a terrific movie all around, with an amazing Cast, unforgettable scenes and endlessly quotable lines...
One Comedian at the absolute PEAK of his comedy prowess, another Comedian coming off of a massively successful run on this fledgling Late Night TV Show called Saturday Night Live, and oh yeah...
A drop dead gorgeous Jamie Lee Curtis, finally released from the shackles of being labeled the "Scream Queen" for movies such as "Halloween" and "Halloween 2", "Prom Night", and "Terror Train".
(How many of you giggled when I said "Jamie Lee Curtis" and "released" in the same sentence, especially in reference to this Film?!?😂
I know that this movie is based on a novel called "The Prince and The Pauper", but it is a very unique and in many ways, Original, script.
I love the dialog, the interactions between the cast (I mean, c'mon... Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy!!!) but the setting is almost a character in itself...
Philadelphia is perfect in this movie. It is gorgeous. Simply perfect!
I love this movie! Me and my family watch it every Chritmas!!
2:49 pork belly is bacon. I am mad with pork belly 😂 also th eeyyaahhhh that Winthorpe yelled was hilarious
The pawn shop owner was none other than rock progenitor Bo Diddley ! Dan Ackroyd loved blues musicians and earlier paid homage to them homage in The Blues Brothers.
The short gorilla keeper was Al Franken - future Senator from Minnesota.
The Duke Bros make a special appearance in Murphy s classic comedy, “ Coming to America”.
Thank you! Was scrolling all comments looking for that most important factoid! Thought I was the only one old enough...
The "Here's, Johnny!" is a reference the Ed McMahon voice announcement at the the beginning of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson....originally so even in the Shining it's a Tonight Show reference.
You should watch "Coming to America". Another excellent Eddie Murphy movie. The Duke brothers have a cameo appearance.
This and Coming to America are my favorite Eddie Murphy movies. ❤
Eddie Murphy after leaving SNL had three hit films in a row 48 Hrs 1982, Trading Places 1983, and Beverly Hills Cop 1984.
Is that not the most satisfying end to a movie you’ve ever seen? Love it!
24:45 the way he broke the 4th wall staring directly into camera because of how much of an idiot they're treating him as 😂
The duke brothers make an appearance as themselves homeless in Edie Murphy’s “Coming to America” I was mind blown
Remember...DUKE & DUKE Will Be In The Movie "COMING TO AMERICA." Just Look out for them. They will pop up when you least expect them😅..Great Reaction Mr.Vid MAAAAAAINE!👍🏾💯👍🏾
You realy need to see BREWSTERS MILLIONS now. Its richard pryor and john candy , his heritage is $300 mil if he can spend $30 mil in 1 month with certain conditions like not telling anyone why. Its such a great classic
I love that Duke and Duke came back in Coming to America 😆
If you watch this, you gotta watch Coming to America next.
Dan Akroyd is a comedic legend. For sure he's on the mount Rushmore next to Carlin and Norm McDonald
Pork belly is delicious. You can get some at the final cut in the casino. Its very good.
Most people miss that Giancarlo Esposito (prolific bad guy actor nowadays) was in the prison cell with Eddie Murphy at the very beginning of the movie. He's the one wearing the tank top.
Jamie lee’s nickname in Hollywood at this time period was “the body”.
I remember after this came out all the kids at school were telling the S car go joke.
The here’s Johnny is actually a reference to the Johnny Carson nighttime talk show, his announcer would always say “ and here’s Johnny “ before he walked out on stage.
The shorter of the two package handlers on the train went on to become a U.S senator.
The Shining actually was referencing Johnny Carson.
Money doesn't mean anything. Happiness does. That's just my opinion.
This movie is an old favorite of mine! Interesting tidbit: In the movie Coming to America, Eddy Murphy's character gives Duke and Duke a bag of money, Mortimer says "We're back" lol
The short baggage handler on the train is played by Al Franken, who was a longtime writer and actor on SNL, and later on was a US Senator.
The guy in the ape costume is Jim Belushi, brother of Blues Brothers and Animal House actor John Belushi, star of According To Jim, and nowadays is a lot farmer who has his own brand of gummies and edibles.
From IMDb Trivia page on Don Ameche:
*"He frequently apologized to his Trading Places (1983) co-star Eddie Murphy for the racist statements that his character made in the film."*
Don Ameche was a true gentleman.
@@hippychikforeverAnd he invented the telephone.
🙄
@chalmapatterson544 Actors read scripts. Yes.
The dialog in 99.99% of all movies has nothing to do with the actors saying it but with the writers who write it.
Ya know?
So, Don Ameche was not trying to insult Eddie Murphy, he was playing Mortimer Duke, a pretend person who does not really exist.
Thanks!
Little early man, this is a Christmas movie. I absolutely love this movie.
Jamie Lee Curtis at the time of filming... 100% natural.
She tried botox once and hated it, she's still got it even now... would
$80K in '83 is nearly $250K today.
This movie is peak 1983, times sure have changed!
another another fact
The Duke Brothers make a cameo in Coming to America, being gifted money by Eddie Murphy.
When I was a kid in the 80's, this one, Best Defense...anything with Eddie. When I got older and he was in Shrek, my kids thought it was funny how much I laughed at Donkey. I said "just wait 'till you're older...you'll see.
His dressed as Santa eating salmon through his beard gets me everytime. 😂
Randolph and Mortimer make a cameo in Coming to America. They're the two homeless people Eddie gives the money his friend had sent to them. Fun little thing they snuck in there.
This is an all time classic
Honestly this film is hilarious Eddie Murphy is Amazing and Jamie Lee Curtis is gorgeous
Winthorpe really is spoiled. It's very easy for a man's vices to go out of control when he's handed everything. Or when he has nothing to lose.
I love this movie. I often watch it during the holidays. Not sure its a holiday movie, but I treat it like it is. 🎄
The gorilla scene still makes me laugh out loud. "One gorilla, two gorilla." 🤣🤣
@8:50 Stereotypes are messed up, but at the same time they are funny as hell. That is one of the things that makes old school movies like this great they were not afaird to make fun of stereotypes.
Younger generation get easily offended. Racial comedy is different from actual racism.
This film is brilliant. 😂❤😊. Love you Leo.
10:52 this is where Gustavo Fring learned everything he needed to build his empire.
Another older great movie from rags to riches story you need to react to is " Brewster's Millions " with Richard Pryor and John Candy...trust me, you'll love it👍
Awesome movie! Mortimer and the other jerk make a very funny cameo in the movie Coming to America with Eddie Murphy. You should totally watch that next! Also, my husband is an Eagles fan, he loves your blanket!
Beeks was getting some of that Soul Power
Now you have to watch Coming to America (another Eddie Murphy movie). You'll know why when you see the part of the movie.
You're not the only one to lose your train of thought during the dress scene.
52:18 Barence Cleeks gettin’ his cleeks chapped.
Who be puttin out they Kools on my carpet? Abs my favorite line
Christmas movie classic growing up n currently in my own home. A few more years n my youngest children can watch along with us. 😊
10:40
Gus Fring chilling before the start of the chicken empire.
Check out “Coming to America”, you’ll trip on the money connection 😅
Had a horrible day today😢 thank you for reacting to my favorite movie! Thank you Leo!!! ❤
Hope things turned around for you 🙏🙏🙏
The cop who checked Winthorp in, finding the PCP... Frank Oz, a director and friend of this movie's direstor, but also the puppeteer and voice between Miss Piggy, Fozzie and Yoda among many others.
There is a nice crossover between this film and "Coming to America"... The Duke brothers appears like beggars in the other film and receives money from Akeem (Eddie Murphy)!!!
Jamie Lee Curtis..... that body is 100% natural, trust 👊
Shining role play 😂😂😂. Here’s Johnny is from the Johnny Carson show young Blood👊
This reaction is fascinating! I have never seen anyone take this movie so seriously! 😂 But it is admirable that you did, lol. You've got the best reaction channel on RUclips.
After this movie you need to watch 'Comming to America'
I can't remember if you have watched Coming to America yet or not but Randolph and Mortimer make a pretty good cameo. If you haven't watched it yet definitely give it a watch
I'm sure someone has pointed this out before, but Randal and Mortemer are the same characters from "Coming to America", in the scene where Eddie Murphy gives money to the homeless guys. Same universe.
