Holy... Did Sonny Landham play Billy Bear in both movies? Were both Billys supposed to be alternate universe versions of the same guy or was Predator Billy a clone of 48 Hrs Billy? Now that Sonny Landham is gone we may never know Billy's backstory, his motivation, his raison d'etre...
Yup im also entering my late 30’s and we grew up on these movies…the new world will never enjoy these things the same way…it seems odd to them but we could look past and look at the entertaining part of it
Bill you know that the "problematic" dialogue is what made the movie so good. This and Trading Places is my favorite Eddie Murphy movies and I couldn't see anyone else playing Nick Nolte's character. My wife loves the "high hard one" line.
@wm young I didn't say it was, I'm saying that the dialogue is what made the movie as good as it was. If they tried to remake 48 hrs today, it would be a disaster.
@@phenomenal-xv4ey They couldn't and wouldn't make it today. It's funny because it was made in a different time. I loved this movie, but if it came out today, I'd be pissed at Nick Nolte's character, and the man himself. I wouldn't be able to see the comedy aspect b/c the same things that were funny back then aren't funny today. On one hand, people are way too sensitive about some things. On the other hand, it's great that we've become more enlightened and we can more readily see how things we do and say can negatively impact others, so it's not necessary to indulge in.
As a person that saw it at the movies on the first day it premiered, I can assure you than not a single Black person was offended by Nick Nolte. We appreciated the honesty of his depiction of the character. We were ferociously excited that Eddie Murphy was in a Motion Picture. A major event. But see, back then, even if anyone did have an issue, how would they express it? There wasn't an internet. A social media that let everybody sound off, giving the impression that what they have to say is important. An anonymous way to gang up and choose to not rock with an awesome movie out of some kind of righteousness. Back then, if you shouted out, nobody heard it. You had to write a letter to the editor of the newspaper. That was the max level of demonstrating your concern about anything. Unless you offended someone to their face, you'd never know. Nobody was really brave enough to do that in the early 80's. Heck, in 1986 we all Held Hands Across America to demonstrate our unity as a nation.
As I recall Eddie Murphy throws some racist stuff back at Nolte a few times. Was I as a white kid at the time offended? No way. If anything, we loved Eddie even more after this underrated film. Since I was one, I can tell you that Gen X white kids in the 80's worshiped Eddie and he's still beloved today.
I was right there with you, very first week. No one was tripping about racism, when the portrayal was honest. We were proud of how Eddie had grabbed that movie, and made it his.
@@Musicvidsetc Yup this is precisely why I’m so proud that the current generation doesn’t hesitate to assert that Black Lives Matter!!👊🏾🔥 Of course, if DeSantis becomes president, no doubt he will have that movie banned 🤷🏾
Well said sir. It was the 80,$ . As you mentioned there was no platform for everyone to vent every fart of a freakin thought. I’m white ,I’m racist to anyone that pisses me off ..so that’s everyone lol. …. I act like a complete ignorant idiot. I don’t however hate someone for their ethnicity . I think it’s in human DNA to get defensive at someone that’s not like them and treat them like crap. ( no excuses no apologies ) just how I see it. I’m not gonna lie. Anyone that says they are not or have never been in some form or fashion racist at some time in their life are full of it. I Grew up playing pool in a dirty garage with my best friend listening to Eddie’s tapes from Delirious to Raw to Richard Priors stand ups to Red Fox and many more until we could go word for word on Eddie’s stand up. To me and my best friend the two whitest kids in blue collar America we thought there was nobody smarter and nobody cooler than Eddie Murphy and all those that came before him. Eddie has a special place in my heart and I feel as if he was an older brother teaching me things that mom n dad prolly were not going to lol. Thanks for all the gut wrenching tear crying laughs Eddie ! You are truly the peoples Champ.
Best was when the chief parodied his character in Arnold's "Last Action Hero" (as well as parodying basically every "stupid chief" trope that had been in countless action movies by then). The part where he's screaming nonsense/gibberish at Arnold and smoke is coming out of his ears got plenty of rewinds in our living room when I was growing up and I still howl when I watch it to this day. Though to me he'll always be the big quiet guy with the heart of gold that fixes one of the baby alien spaceships in "Batteries Not Included".
I've watched both movies at least a dozen times each. Wish they still made clear cut action comedy movies like this. No fluff. No target audience. Just one liners and shoot outs.
@@vladimirhorowitz I have not. Is it like 48 hours? Because I'm really in need of some hard-boiled buddy up flicks. Walter Hill used to make the kind of movies that would make today's wokies "rheee" in fright.
How TF after all this gold does Izzy have less than 50 thousand subscribers? The nerve! (where's the camera?) *THE NERVE!!* Spread the clips and the love, people! Lets get him his "Silver Play Button" by the end of the year!
My favorite scene is Eddie busting up the country bar. "You're loaded. Where you get all this money? Tax refund. Bullshit you're to stupid to have a job.".
You have mastered your craft of evading censorship, while keeping the context of the clips you're showing so well. It matches up perfect with the Billycast. Good work Izzy
Actually Sonny Landham, David Patrick Kelly and James Remar were all in “The Warriors”. Sonny Landham had a small role as a cop. Both films directed were directed by Walter Hill.

Cool Review Of One Of My Favorite Movies Bill. Here's Some Musical Trivia For You Though. Vic Johnson, Was The Guitarist In The Bus Boys & In The 48 Hours Movie. Now Sammy Hagar's Guitarist Since 1997 Hired For Sam's "Marching To Mars" LP Tour, Then Samny's Guitarist In The Waborita's For The First "Red Voodoo" LP & Every LP & Tour After & Still To This Day With Sammy's Supergroup "The Circle" With Michael Anthony From Van Halen & Jason Bonham Of Led Zeppelin Rock Royalty !!! Keep Up With The Reviews Bill, You're Funny At Whatever You Try To Be Funny At !!!! I Laughed Right Through It Too !!!! Luthor Clinking Beer Bottles, "Warriors, Come Out To Plaaaay"
The Just Keep’n ya down bar speech was the most recited movie scene from me and my brother back in the mid 80’s other than Sgt Barnes drunk speech “ yaw smoke this shit to escape reality? Hmmm? Me? I don’t need this shit. I am reality”.
Yeah, and nobody cared! Not blacks, not whites! Cause that's how people talked, and it was funny! Real people still talk like that, and it's still funny! Don't let anyone tell you any different..
Great supporting cast too, Jonathan Banks from Breaking Bad in an early role And like Bill said James Remar and David Patrick Kelly were also in another classic The Warriors, Sonny Landham also has a very small part in that as well
I just can’t stop watching this movie. Such a great acting performance from everybody. I’m relieved that many people thinks the same despite the racial slurs which yeah, they are kinda heavy, but that’s how things were back in the day and nobody can deny it. I got myself the Blu-Ray before the woke nonsense gets to this masterpiece.

The bad guys are driving a Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon. Nolte drives a '64 DeVille and Eddie has a Porsche 356A replica made by Intermeccanica. Kelly McGillis drives a similar replica in "Top Gun."
48HRS is absolutely one of my all time favorite films. James Remar is one of best villains.
Mine too and another 48 hours is good too. And instead of being offended they made a pretty good team getting the real dirtbags
RIP Sonny Landham
His character “Billy” from the Predator was my favorite, next to Dutch.
And from the sound of it, he was like these characters in real life
What's got Billy so spooked?
Holy... Did Sonny Landham play Billy Bear in both movies? Were both Billys supposed to be alternate universe versions of the same guy or was Predator Billy a clone of 48 Hrs Billy? Now that Sonny Landham is gone we may never know Billy's backstory, his motivation, his raison d'etre...
@@Anonymous3572-yl8wo Both characters went out the exact same way. Long blade in hand...looking death straight in the eyes.
It's such a shame that off camera he had a reputation for being a truly obnoxious and abusive fascist.
Bill Burr just doing lines from the movie is simply hilarious! I want someone to just put together a compilation of him doing movie lines like that
Yeah super hilarious when he breaks the whole immersion to say NWERD, what a lovely society we live in
The country western bar scene was incredible lol.
Your loaded…where did you get this? Income tax refund…..bullshit, you’re to fuck!ng stupid to have a job. Classic!
Exactly that whole scene is so funny
I never seen so many backward ass country fucks in my whole life!
There's a new sheriff in town...and his name is Reggie Hammond
Don't care what IMDb says, I'm in my late 30's and both this and the sequel are classics to me. Izzy... ain't that right convict?
Word
Another 48 hrs is wayyyy underrated
48 HRS 4 LYFE ⚔
Yup im also entering my late 30’s and we grew up on these movies…the new world will never enjoy these things the same way…it seems odd to them but we could look past and look at the entertaining part of it
I don't see how age determines what is and what isn't a classic.
Ganz and Billy Bear are still one of the best criminal duos in any movie ever.
I love the Nick Nolte impression

@@alaza61 What's problematic about realistic dialogue?
@@LordPrometheous If times were more enlightened now, how come hip-hop uses the N word so regularly?
The Warriors, while popular, I still feel like it doesn't get enough love
Walter Hill movies have such a similar feel to them-- they are magnificent. They also have a few of the same actors.
I love this movie. I've been singing it's praises for years!

He did the same in Loaded Weapon
Underrated: Last Action Hero. That film was ahead of its time
To me, he'll always be High Prices from "Used Cars."
But then he does a 180 and lets Chevy Chase treat him like a dog in National Lampoon's Vacation.
@@plissken2156 Gotta love how a security guard doesn't notice the tag still hanging off the guns barrel lol.
Amazing cast, riveting screenplay, immaculate direction. One of the best theater experiences of my life. Eddie exploded.
Forget Lethal Weapon, 48 Hrs was The First Classic Cop Buddy Action Movie....and STILL remains the best.
I've watched both movies at least a dozen times each. Wish they still made clear cut action comedy movies like this. No fluff. No target audience. Just one liners and shoot outs.
Have you seen The Nice Guys?
@@vladimirhorowitz I have not. Is it like 48 hours? Because I'm really in need of some hard-boiled buddy up flicks. Walter Hill used to make the kind of movies that would make today's wokies "rheee" in fright.
I initially read this as "clean cut" and found myself wondering what your definition of dirty would be
Nolte was great in that. I loved the line. “I should be home with the wife givin her the high hard one but instead I with you”
6:19 Jonathan Banks who was also one of the heavies in "Beverly Hills Cop" and of course, Mike in "Breaking Bad".
The 48 hours films are still awesome to this day, ROXXXXXXXANNNNE
I enjoyed this just hearing him do this on the podcast but this video is edited to perfection 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
First movie I seen with my dad great memories.🙂Miss you Dad!
I'm so glad you did this one, was just thinking if you were gonna do it after hearing it yesterday 🎉
How TF after all this gold does Izzy have less than 50 thousand subscribers? The nerve! (where's the camera?) *THE NERVE!!*
Spread the clips and the love, people! Lets get him his "Silver Play Button" by the end of the year!
yo the Brooklyn at the end surprised the hell out of me wtf
i LOVED this movie. i have seen it several times. nolte and murphy and all the rest were awesome
Burr's, "yaaaaahhhh". I'm still cracking up a week later.
Great commentary by Mr Burr on 48 hrs. Now I'm going to Prime to watch again. Thanks
Classic '80s flick. Love it.
My favorite scene is Eddie busting up the country bar. "You're loaded. Where you get all this money? Tax refund. Bullshit you're to stupid to have a job.".
both 48hrs are absolutely brilliant. sadly, such movies cannot be made anymore.
Nah, the second one is atrocious. I watched back to back and was really surprised by how bad the second one is compared to the first one
@@the.fresh.peasantHey, I love part 2.
You spot on this being a real movie with more than comedy or action or drama it had it all.
Bro, these cuts keep getting deeper. Absolute 🔥
An 80's classic! 10/10 acting, casting, storytelling. LOVE this movie!
i would pay good money to watch any movie with bill burr doing all the voice over dubbing
I loved both!
48 Hours is such an amazingly original movie!
Sonny Landham was also in 'The Warriors' (he was one of the Cops chasing the gang on the train platform; check the credits)
Luther in the warriors was also luther in 48 hours. Same name.
Bill has an impressive memory.
That's what I was thinking, except he did just watch it.
I'm glad you shouted out Sonny as Billy Bear. RIP
A totally different era! 48hrs was/is brilliant!
I concur: I absolutely love this film 🎉❤
Just love Hearing Bill's 'Nick Nolte' impression. "Aaaaaahhhh...." Lmao!
I remember seeing this on opening weekend in times square. It was PACKED
love your stuff dude... bill burr you rock
Bill loves saying, "I can't recommend it enough." 😆
I''m convinced that "In The Heat of the Night" was the primary inspiration for 48hrs.
That language added realism to the scenes... I remember the 80's... I was in high school in the 80's. A lot of people still spoke that way...openly.
It's crazy is that I just watched this and the second one the other day!
It was a raw classic. That's why it's so good! No filtered woke crap.
48 Hours is peak action comedy. It has Billy from Predator. Just a classic.
Predator produced two state governors, almost three. Sonny ran for office but him being a former porn star sank him.
You have mastered your craft of evading censorship, while keeping the context of the clips you're showing so well.
It matches up perfect with the Billycast. Good work Izzy
The best was when he cut to that turd from "Napoleon Dynamite" smirking in disbelief.
I need to rewatch this one.
That's the best Nolte impression I have yet heard.
Brion James was great in Bladerunner “Let me tell you about my mother.”
Classic film love it and the sequel 👌
Walter Hill wrote and directed some absolutely awesome pictures.
Actually Sonny Landham, David Patrick Kelly and James Remar were all in “The Warriors”. Sonny Landham had a small role as a cop. Both films directed were directed by Walter Hill.
So glad you mentioned “The Boys Are Back In Town” by The Busboys. I bought their greatest hits based on this movie alone, and was not disappointed.
The opening act for Eddie's "Delirious."
@@PhantomFilmAustralia And doesn't he say something about how they're always getting laid?

Thank you for posting this 😂
Great start to a movie & what an Action/Comedy should be like!
The Warriors was a great movie
The Just Keep’n ya down bar speech was the most recited movie scene from me and my brother back in the mid 80’s other than Sgt Barnes drunk speech “ yaw smoke this shit to escape reality? Hmmm? Me? I don’t need this shit. I am reality”.
Another 48 was dope as hell.
The racism was like 50% of what made 48 Hours Funny.
Let me guess...
Yea but it wouldn't be Billy if he doesn't virtue signal how uncomfortable it makes him
Funny to who???
Trumpturds? Yeah, they love it.
more like 90%
Yeah, and nobody cared! Not blacks, not whites! Cause that's how people talked, and it was funny!
Real people still talk like that, and it's still funny! Don't let anyone tell you any different..
Frank McRae played the captain.
“You go fu$& yoself, convict!”
James Remar was friggin scary as hell. I thought he was a real thug.
+1 Fond memories down the lane . . .
Ha, just watched this outa the blue 2 nights ago. Definitely my favorite Eddie Murphy movie.
“It was the time…” Boy if I had a nickel for everytime I heard that! 😂
"The Weather Girls can fuck up a stage." Holy shit, that's great!
I haven't seen that one in 30 years. Thanks bill
I love it plus all three Beverly hills cop🤣yt has them for free reminds me of my 01 HBO days
That fight, though. DA-YUM
Love that movie.
Nick Nolte don’t get enough credit for this movie. He nailed the cop character
I watched this when it was in theaters. Great movie! If people listen to Eddie's Raw stand-up show now, they would be calling for him to be canceled.
Let's not forget Billy Bear's truck, a classic!
Great supporting cast too, Jonathan Banks from Breaking Bad in an early role
And like Bill said James Remar and David Patrick Kelly were also in another classic The Warriors, Sonny Landham also has a very small part in that as well
His Nolte impression is spot on
I just can’t stop watching this movie. Such a great acting performance from everybody. I’m relieved that many people thinks the same despite the racial slurs which yeah, they are kinda heavy, but that’s how things were back in the day and nobody can deny it.
I got myself the Blu-Ray before the woke nonsense gets to this masterpiece.
I grew up as a kid in Philly then moved to the deeep South at age 13 in the 80's.
I was shocked at all of the everyday racisim out on full display.
I't made the broad street bully's seem like nice guy's.
"The weather girls can fuck up a stage" 😂
Quiell:"I have spoken, n***er."😂😂
Nobody would believe that's the same actor!!🤣🤣🤣
everyone tend to say either Beverly Hills Cop or Coming to America as Eddie's best/definitive flick.
for me, however.....Eddie's best/definitive flick will always be 48 HRS.
48 Hours is one of those great movies that just slipped by Hollywood and was picked up by viewers. Classic.
5:36 - 5:42/... and the lovely lady on the other end of that phone conversation? Why, it's future Martha Kent herself, Annette O'Toole! Yup, the SMALLVILLE mom was the hot red head to tell Nick Nolte FU! 😂
The bad guys are driving a Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon. Nolte drives a '64 DeVille and Eddie has a Porsche 356A replica made by Intermeccanica. Kelly McGillis drives a similar replica in "Top Gun."
If y’all haven’t seen Warrior with Nick Nolte and Tom Hardy DOO IIIT! Such a good film
Damn Good Movie.
Directed by Walter Hill, one of the reasons why it is excellent.
"it's raining stuff! hallelujah it's raining things!"
"I know a place, where a man's worth is measured in the ears hanging from his dog tags."
"Take 'em off the fuckin' grid!"
I love this movie but that was some spot on funny Mr Burr.
The guy who played “Billy Bear” was also in the Warriors. He was a cop.
James Remar/Albert Ganz is one of the best movie villains ever.
"Likes killing cops more than screwing"
Same director did the Warriors and 48 Hours. Walter Hill. He did a interesting movie called Streets of Fire (1984)
