Those old homeless men are characters from 1983's Trading Places. Starring Dan Ackroyd and Eddie Murphy. Highly recommended. I also recommend 48 Hrs. Enjoy.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Trading Places added to the list! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@answ7211]

You're going to love Trading Places!!

[@nevyn_karres]

@@BluntReactionsBB Trading Places is much better, though the style is the same.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Just watched Trading Places and it was hilarious. Coming soon!

[@RetroRobotRadio]

So that makes this part of the Trading Places Cinematic Universe.

[@dandanod]

Great reaction guys. The homeless guys are from Trading Places with Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis. I def recommend the comedy movies of Bette Midler from the 80s Big Business Outrageous Fortune Down and Out in Beverley Hills Ruthless People Def the same humor as this film 😊😊

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Trading Places released today! Thanks for watching and commenting, Dan!

[@williamjones6031]

1. They killed the multiple roles. 2. The appearance of the Dukes is an "Easter egg" from "Trading Places". 3. James Earl Jones AND John Amos! GMAFB😎😎😁 4. A movie featuring John Amos worth a first time/share is "The Beastmaster". 5. "Son, if you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs".🤣 6. "Coming Two America" is OK, but that's about it.

[@jjthebeerman]

the homeless guys are Ralph Bellamy & Don Ameche from Trading Places (the Duke brothers).

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Trading Places is being added to the list. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@sagittarius420cheefie]

"Get Hard" starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart is effing hilarious. You should definitely react to it.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

We will get it added to the list! Thanks for watching!

[@Sejjjee]

BOOMERANG! is a great eddi murphy movie as well ❤️

[@tempsitch5632]

That isn’t bad. Boomerang and The Distinguished Gentleman are two good Murphy flicks people are forgetting.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

I remember hearing about it, but haven’t seen it. Can’t go wrong with Eddie. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Chalando.9431]

He was younger. It was the 80’s

[@scarletdamsel3139]

Vampire in Brooklyn by Eddie Murphy as the Vampire looolz

[@BluntReactionsBB]

It’s coming.

[@clutch236]

Ok, even though the (video volume) was low, I could at least hear it well enough to watch, that's a slight improvement!......HANDS DOWN, the only other Eddie Murphy movie that can "match" the entertainment value of "Coming To America" is a rarely talked about movie called: "LIFE" (starring both Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence, also with Bernie Mac, Rick James, and more). The whole "premise" of this movie, along with the "extraordinary make-up" will blow you away! This movie is not JUST funny, but surprisingly (serious & touching) in key moments! This movie is right up you guys' alley!....Good reaction!

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Appreciate the feedback and kind words, Clutch. I have seen Life several times. You are spot on with the description. Great movie! Thanks for coming back and commenting!

[@clutch236]

@@BluntReactionsBB Ok great, that at least one of you have seen "LIFE" (though you could react to it for the other guy - but that's neither here nor there). I have a very interesting & BOLD movie that would make you guys stand out from the crowd, because "only a few" people have reacted to it, and NO ONE disliked it, but they mostly were (surprised) that they liked it, because they thought it would be somewhat of a "joke" and it's (not). The movie I'm referring to is ("Blacula")... This is said to be the (first horror movie of the 70s Blaxploitation Era). People say that William Marshall (who plays "Blacula", Dracula turned this African Prince into a Vampire), he speaks so eloquently, you could listen to him read the phone-book! He's a Vampire, but you half-way sympathize with him, as he sees a look-a-like (or reincarnation of his dear wife 'Luva' in modern-day Los Angeles), he just wants her back after 200 years. Great soundtrack, frightening moments, love story, etc.....You guys would be in a (rare group) of 3 or 4 people to watch it...Anyway, this is just a suggestion, good luck.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

That sounds like a great movie! The issue we run into is understanding where the KZbin algorithm will send a less popular movie. However, if we can get enough people to echo your sentiments in the comments, then we will add it sooner than later. Thanks again, Clutch!

[@clutch236]

@@BluntReactionsBB Exactly! Do what you feel your analytics is suggesting. However, I just wanted to mention that two guys that reacted to "Blacula" got (1.8k views) and the other guy got (2k views), not to mention a of people who do "reviews & discussions" on the movie, they get like (11k & 20k) views. So, more people are willing to view it than you might've guessed. But anyway, keep doing what you think is best and again, good luck. 🧛

[@teec.1380]

Great reaction!!! Thanks for watching and humorous 😂...I really enjoy seeing other ethnic people watching movies like this. Back in the 80s and 90s they were concerned "black movies" and didn't really get recognized like other movies of that time.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Glad you liked it, Tee! Thanks for commenting!

[@janx8695]

I'm white and this is one of my fave movies growing up.

[@tempsitch5632]

Bowfinger is the last great Murphy comedy.

[@benjaminpazrosas2839]

One of my all type favorite movies.

[@jamesm654]

Beverly Hills Cop

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Thanks for watching, James!

[@tempsitch5632]

That’s the best black/white makeup ever.

You should see mine 😳

[@tempsitch5632]

Don’t prank these guys.

[@tempsitch5632]

Oh look, another channel that NEVER comes up in my daily search results because yourube is BROKEN. Probably because you’re not whorey enough. Was recommended in suggestions on another movie reaction. Crazy to see you have a bunch of vids on the channel and not one of them has come up in my searches.
