[@laffingist218]

stunt artists still don't have a category at the Oscars. they're performing on screen, writing and directing entire sections of movies. it's insane.

[@robertlombardo8437]

Someone who reacted to this did a slow motion breakdown of the scene where Axel throws the hitman into the buffet at the Harrow Club (and wrecks it!) He pauses on the stuntman, who is a good 50 pounds heavier than Eddie Murphy and looks nothing like him and plays Arnold's reaction to the Predator "What the hell are you?" It's then that I realize, stuntmen are basically the real action movie magicians. I ALWAYS thought it was Eddie in that shot!

[@laffingist218]

@TheBestPill-no2xp same thimg with pro wrestlers, who let alone don't get considered for awards, but aren't even considered for SAG AFTRA, despite being the lead actors, writers and stunt performers themselves on televised live scripted episodic dramas. like, if you improvise and script a family tv show, the performers get union consideration. if they then do live stunts on top of that, suddenly they don't deserve to be in the union. it's heartbreaking.

There was also some question as to if Gil Hill was corrupt. But the answer depends on who you ask. He has passed away so I suppose the question no longer matters much.

The actor playing "Serge" is Bronson Pinchot. The first time I saw Bronson act, was in a weekly American TV series named "Perfect Strangers" (1986 - 1993). He played an Eastern Mediterranean farmer (Balki Bartokomous) who came to America to live with his Midwest American cousin, Larry Appleton (Played by Mark Linn-Baker). The accent Bronson used to portray Balki was much the same as the one he uses to portray Serge. One of Balki's famous catch-phrases was "Don't be re-di-koo-lus" (ridiculous).

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Your comment makes me happy! Now I do the Dance Of Joy!

[@apulrang]

I believe the joke of Serge's accent is that it's what you might call "vaguely European." Or rather, an American viewer would call it that. We don't know how much of his accent is just a nationality we can't identify, and how much is just him being weird.

[@STNeish]

That's Bronson Pinchot. He made a career out of that accent. Sadly, it was all the talent he really had. Still, he made a fortune on it. It was never meant to be any particular accent, just a vaguely european sounding thing.

[@treetopjones737]

Of course. "Don't be stupid." 😄

[@treetopjones737]

BTW, he has a moment in the new one coming out this Summer.

[@Cheepchipsable]

He kind of typecast himself because he was in a popular sitcom as Balki who was from Greece(?) and had a funny accent. He actually had a part in True Romance with Christina Slater. I did see him on NCIS Hawaii.

[@ChicagoDB]

"48 Hours" and "Trading Places" are two of his 3 best...

Just so you have a better idea, that $235 hotel room in 1984 would cost over $710 today. Off topic, but have you ever reacted to "Euro Trip"? I think a European perspective would be interesting (it's a comedy). "Coming to America" is funny and an Eddie Murphy must see. The sequel to this is pretty good also "48 Hours" is Eddie's first movie; it's a buddy cop movie.

[@treetopjones737]

Looking it up, their current cheapest rate is $851. per night.

[@johnhawk1089]

Another movie as good or better by the same director is Midnight Run with Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin

[@NiersFloater]

As for the continuation: Part II is a worthy sequel while part III is (to me) a lame, moneymaking sequel that is far less worth to watch.

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the funniest action comedy movies ever made! Sylvester Stallone was originally going to play Axel Foley and he wrote the screenplay, which was a lot darker and more violent than the final cut of the movie. Paramount executives read the script but they turned it down. Stallone would turn his rejected script into the 1986 action adventure thriller COBRA.

FYI, the reason the number changed to 112 is so that it's the same everywhere in the EU. So you don't have to memorize the local number when you travel, it's always the same one

You'll enjoy "Coming to America, " probably more than "Beverly Hills Cop." "Trading Places" is a classic. Aside from those three ... well, Eddie Murphy has been in a lot of bad movies for someone as charismatic as he is.

[@MravacKid]

Paul Reiser, who plays Axel's colleague Jeffrey at the start of the movie, was in Stranger Things, The Boys and also playing the company guy that screws up in Aliens. And you should definitely watch Coming to America, and Beverly Hills Cop 2... the 3rd movie is not as good as the first two, so watch it for the completion value. :)

[@crossbones13]

"What's his accent?" It's Belgian.

[@brianhourihan5613]

Fun fact, that song they keep playing is actually called "Axel F" after the main character Axel Foley.

[@ernestitoe]

Detroit is in the northern United States, amid the Great Lakes. Beverly Hills is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area in the southwestern part of the country, on the Pacific Coast. The distance between them is about 3700 kilometers, or about 2300 miles. Axel's boss, that tough Detroit police inspector, was played by a tough Detroit police inspector, Gilbert Hill. He was on Detroit's city council for some years, and tried to become mayor, but he wasn't elected. That's break dancing, my dear, not "broke" dancing.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Movie magic: An entire truck loaded with EMPTY cigarette boxes. 2. IMVHO Eddies' best movies are "Trading Places and "Coming to America" 3.

[@manueldeabreu1980]

The guy with the 'fruit plate' is Damon Wayans. He went on to a big television and movie career himself in the States. That was one of his first roles. Bronson Pinchot played the art house manager. He went on to star in a successful tv show, Perfect Strangers, where he played an immigrant from Eastern Europe who came to the States. They made his character a more family friendly version of his character in this film. Paul Reiser is Axle's side kick in the beginning. He was the villain in Aliens and went on to have his own successful tv show in the early 1990's.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Pretty sure Reiser was a stand up comic also.

If you are familiar with the Mexican city of Tijuana just across the southern border of California, that should give you perspective on Detroit. The South Side of Detroit is beautiful Windsor Ontario Canada, While the US and Canada are divided by the Great Lakes - between Detroit and Windsor - its just a river. one of the largest commercially trafficked rivers in the world and the second busiest border crossing on the continent - after Tijuana. Motown. The last stop for people who wanted to go to Canada and got caught or rejected. The first city design ever destroyed by the Car to appease the automotive industry. Currently sitting at 1/3rd the population it had in the 1950s. I bought 6 of 8 houses on a block of Detroit in 2010 for $13k. My used Nissan Altima cost more.

Bail (aka a bond) doesn’t make the charges go away, it’s simply a surety that the person will return to court to face the charges without having to remain in jail awaiting the court date. Minor charges get a small bail amount or even just a promise to reappear (own recognizance bond) while major crimes can go up into the millions or “no bail granted” on crimes such as murder. If the person fails to show up at the court date, the money is forfeited and the person will have a warrant issued for their arrest.

In one scene, he plays the famous instrumental "Dueling Banjos" on his guitar with a banjo-playing mountain boy, played by child actor Billy Redden. He was the Bad Guy in RoboCop (1987) and Total Recall (1990). He has said that he loves playing villains much more than good guys.

Serge is played by American actor, Bronson Pinchot, who was famous for playing a similar character in the '80s tv series, Perfect Strangers. His grandparents on his father's side were Russian immigrants who settled in France, and he said Serge's accent was intended to invoke those vaguely Eastern European accents. Architectural style of Viktor Maitland's mansion is Spanish Mission and is extremely common up and down the California coast, including for the villas of the wealthy of Southern California. Draws a lot of its styling from the missions that were set up here (by missionaries) when this region was under Spanish/Mexican control and they were attempting to convert the indigenous tribes. But it also suits the Mediterranean climate zones here, especially in SoCal.
