[@sdhartley74]

"this ain't my daddy's watch" cracks me up every time

[@ARealGem88]

Eddie Murphy is from Brooklyn, New York. He was raised in Roosevelt. Claude (Martin Lawrence) girl was Sanaa Lathan. She's been in some good films. Love & Basketball, The Perfect Guy, The Best Man, Tyler Perry's The Family that Preys, Brown Sugar and more.

[@roderickluke9346]

And voiced Donna from the Cleveland show.

[@mrall-purpose694]

Eddie Murphy was out way before Martin.. Eddie been on the scene since Saturday night live in early 80s.. Martin popped in the 90s, He made his mark from def comedy jam and Martin show..

[@TheIcemanthomas]

Martin made his mark everywhere. Martin was in EVERYTHING.😂

[@chrispatton8081]

@@TheIcemanthomas Nah, you gotta give it to Eddie on this one. Eddie was a castmember on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s, then he was making hit after hit movies and produced them in the 80s.

[@simplyjuannie5128]

He was on What's Happening Now as Maurice

[@vonniestewart4416]

Biscuit was a gay black man in the 50's or whenever it was he was released...he had NOTHING to go out into the real world with and Bernie Mac's character was his boyfriend. seemed ya'll didn't get any of that context.

[@A.Light33]

Exactly

[@dlinkster]

Yeah, that part disappointed me with Mr Flicks and company.

[@sdhartley74]

I was thinking that too.

[@hardcorenativextreme]

Not only that but he was free to be himself in prison, he couldn't be that on the outside. He even knew his mom wouldn't welcome him like that, he said what will his mom say when she sees him like this.

[@DanYeLL2003]

Eddie Murphy would alway have a packed cast of up and coming comedians in his movies. He always looked out for the next generation and he would usually cast older comedians that had a hard time finding work too. If Eddie had a movie coming out it was almost certainly going to be a hit, he rarely missed.

[@earlsanders1468]

To clarify the guy getting shot at the gun line, he didn’t want his family to see the he was turnt out in prison. he played housewife to Jangle leg for years and it was better to get shot instead of his family seeing him that way. The actors name is Miguel Nunez, he played in Juwanna Man, had his own sitcom in the 90’s called Sparkx, starred in one of Martin’s movies called a Thin Line between Love and hate, and was also in the unreleased 80’s pilot of the Power Rangers as Zack the black rangers. I don’t think he been in too much of anything else

[@nightslayer6951]

"You go eat your corn bread" that line is still funny to this day

[@anitadelacruz4897]

My favorite line!😂😂😂

[@laticiadavis8627]

Nobody ever mentions the light skined dude digging in the beginning and end of this movie is heavy D. Spanking is Rick James. The dude who's name you couldn't remember is obbba bobbatunde, he was in the temptations movie and the five heartbeats you should watch if you haven't seen them yet,as a singer you would love both.

[@mrflickswatches]

I grew up watching both! That’s where I remember him from 👌🏽

[@dlinkster]

How did y’all miss the entire point of Biscuit running to the gun line? He literally said that he can’t “go home to his mom looking like this.” He was an openly gay man during the middle of the 20th century.

[@vonniestewart4416]

"this aint my daddy's watch" always KILLED me bwahahahaha

[@shinacollins9910]

Eddie's son and Martin's daughter are engaged.

[@TheIgnorantSag]

Bernie Mac is the Comedy King

[@ShawnNDaHood]

Facts!

[@theperfectmixx]

Such a great classic and great reaction!!

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Her name is Sanaa Nathan, and The Big light skinned dude at the grave is HEAVY D, And the Club owner is RICK JAMES the that sent them to get the liquor 🥃

[@bgreen9356]

Did y'all notice Spanky was played by Rick James??

[@ShawnNDaHood]

They didn’t 😂

[@ertfgghhhh]

They are too young to recognize

[@joellenglass2344]

IMDB is your best friend when looking up actors whose names you don’t know. I love this movie! Doesn’t matter how many times I watch it, it’s still funny every time! The soundtrack is good too!

[@anaityketihw]

The scene where they fade away and start dying always makes me sad

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Martin is ten years behind Eddie. Martin didn't get famous until 92 Def Comedy Jam.

[@cinemeleon2808]

Biscuit didn't want to get out because he felt there was no acceptance or tolerance for his sexuality out there like there was in the prison.

[@flaga2479]

Not really. He was mostly afraid that his mother won't accept him after a murder that he commited, because like he even says, he's not the son that she wanted

[@ZhyonFlowers]

@@flaga2479he said that because he got turned gay in prison, had nothing to do with his crime.

[@flaga2479]

@@ZhyonFlowers When did he said that?

[@ZhyonFlowers]

@@flaga2479 “i can go home to my momma like this” eddie says “yo momma will be happy to see you” and he responds with “not like this” nothing about that convo suggests his crime is what the issue is.

[@ZhyonFlowers]

@@flaga2479 he didnt say it, just like he didnt say his crime was the reason. It was implied.

[@TreyM1609]

THE UPPA ROOOM!!

[@tonysaourn9220]

The cornbread scene was hilarious you can hear someone say "Don't say nothing".

[@Ready2071]

Luv this movie. One of my favorite Eddie Murphy films (he's from Brooklyn btw). Didn't scroll all the way through the comments, but Claude's grilfriend in the movie is Sanaa Lathan.

[@Cartmanrulez]

Eddie started first.... Eddie goes back to the old days of SNL bruh..

[@ezelldaniels6064]

Such a classic movie. One of my all time favorites movies since childhood. I remember going to the movies to see it.

[@shesemerald2011]

Eddie was 1st!!! Started the same time as Jerry Seinfeld if memory serves. He was on SNL before Beverly Hills Cop.

[@wickedlittletown2.0]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! GREW UP WITH IT! THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO IT. ❤ "What girl? Whichever bitch I start choking thats what girl". 😂 LMAO!! MY FAVORITE QUOTE in the ENTIRE movie! This movie is so funny but also heartbreaking. 😢 I used to watch this with my older brother. R.I.P. brother. Miss you everyday. ❤

[@dylanbollinger6872]

If you haven’t watched Harlem Nights it’s a must

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

Eddie Murphy is the black comedy king. Beacuse he can play different guys with different voices in one scene, you feel me

[@ambersteward2373]

Honestly one of the best movies they made together

[@simplyjuannie5128]

Martin had to be the biggest star around this time. Movies every year, comedy specials, and coming off of the success of Martin.

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Eddie Murphy hand picked this cast. Just like Harlem Nights and Boomerang. The late eighty's early ninety's Eddie was the Black comedian actor that owned Hollywood studios.

[@robertoprestigiacomo253]

30:41 - He didn't hate them. That's the point of that scene: when Sergeant Dillard tells them they have been transferred he changes the tone of his voice, and after he tells them "And I, for one, won't miss you" his face turns sad, he looks down, and leaves visibly upset.

[@MaskedB0X3R]

Never thought I'd seen Chris Brown & Bow Wow in da same room

[@mrflickswatches]

Bruh 🤣🤣

[@1Tankmarine]

Biscuit is played by Miguel Nunuez. He also played in a t.v. series "Tour of Duty" in the 80's. I met him in Hollywood in 88. He was nice guy.

[@major_keys824]

You guys should watch ray featuring Jamie fox if u haven't seen

[@nuridlewis]

This was a great reaction. This film will provoke questions like the one you asked @ 30:40. No to many people can truly define the word hate until a life altering decision occur. Great reactions gents!

[@michealwillingham9014]

If it’s one thing I learned from this movie it is don’t own money to the wrong people and don’t be in the wrong place at the wrong time

[@studentofthesaviors.o.s]

This movie is a masterpiece. Eddie Murphy is comedy gold as well. They don't make movie like this anymore. When the last time we seen a classic film with several A list comedians: especially so called black comedians? Fire reaction

[@jeffwilliams2828]

Eddie was and still is the youngest comedy superstar ever. He had two motion picture comedy specials before his 24th birthday. Comedians typically don’t get good or famous before 30.

[@drockherb2073]

I da pappie 😂

[@doctorteethomega]

13:10 With the mustache like that he really does look like Lionel Ritchie.

[@twomuchgame]

Guy Tori and Anthony Anderson was in it to.

[@youteo3596]

That was great usually cant stand reactor collabs but you two were really good together

[@thecontinent9192]

Classic film. Used to watch this on VHS 😂 live the ensemble cast.

[@Hueyfreemen300]

Nice content bro but what’s the name of your friends shirt

[@EricTheBroBean]

One of the best movies ever made hands down, both funny and sad, you just cant go wrong with Murphy and Lawrence 😂 The part where Ray drew up a fake map just to get Claude in on the escape is the ultimate asshole move, I would choke the life out of him if I was Claude 🤣 I recommend watching "Nothing to Lose", starring Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins, and of course "Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2 & 3" with Eddie Murphy.

[@PopSoundMuzic]

Classic movie, and it catapulted them both into Legend status.

[@TaiBoi22]

Missed the whole Biscuit gun-line conversation. It wasn’t just getting out, it was getting out as he is which yall was talkin over . RIP Biscuit

[@JacobDennisHarris8586]

Eddie Murphy started first and is the Biggest Star in my opinion in this Movie. PARTY ALL THE TIME - EDDIE MURPHY! I LOVE THE ACTOR MIX! My Favorite is "BERNIE MAC"!

[@anitadelacruz4897]

Omg! They played Eddie's song on the radio this past weekend.

[@VentureHolly]

36:59 Don’t think it’d have been possible for them to escape like that any earlier tbh. For example when they first arrived there in the 1920s, the prison would probably have used the inmate labour to extinguish any fires.

[@Anthony-42090]

Regardless of color; Eddie Murphy is definitely in the top five best comedy actors of all time 🎭

[@madebynana.1012]

Great movie! You gotta watch Boomerang!!!

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

The little girl said a night in the hole but the warden said a week.

[@206beastman]

Not tryna drop jewels on u young folks but tictok and face book ECT gave y'all no attention span and no depth of thought didn't ask why they got treated like that missed half the jokes. The juanna man guy is in a funny movie called old school. He also had his own sitcom in the 90s

[@sheltonlmack]

I worked on this film on the baseball team (don’t look for me) and I’ll Tell you this was an Eddie Murphy Joint. Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence equally the big dogs but this Murphy’s World.

[@gibranmcdonald9853]

Richard Pryor is the GOAT of comedy, of all races 💯

[@Maurice1191]

Y'all are really reinforcing the stereotype of your generation being the least informed wit the most access to information. Don't blame it on being young because you aren't the first group of young people but you are the first to not know anything that didn't happen to you individually. Y'all don't have regular ol natural curiosity about the world around you and the world before you? How is this an acceptable way to be? It's embarrassing. I don't get it. Please explain?

[@dlinkster]

I’m finding this out as well for this generation. I was always curious about things and never wanted things just told to me. Mostly it seems as these young folks want things spoon-fed to them and they can’t pick up on subtly too well.

[@travisbickle1552]

Sanaa Lathan over Nia Long every time. Underrated Queen.

[@gamblerbabes3792]

The person who plays Biscuit was in one of my favorite horror movies ‘Return of the Living Dead’ he was great in that movie

[@earlsanders1468]

He also did an 80’s pilot for power rangers as the original black ranger Zack. The show didn’t get picked up. The 93 version saw Walter Jones as Zack but Miguel Nunez was almost the original.

[@phil-f716]

Love this movie. Underrated and under appreciated

[@smittybenzo4693]

Eddie Murphy was a household name by 1981 from SNL and dominated the 80,s with stand up and movies. Martin Lawrence reached international fame by 1995 with "Bad Boys" and his other films but never reached Eddie Murphy heights who in fact, to this day has the best selling stand up concert of all time. Eddie Murphy "Raw" (1987).

[@MrPaytonw34]

Don’t be scccarredd, there’s gonna be consequences and repercussions, you gonna eat your cornbread, jangling jangling, there’s so so many lines in here that are quoted.

That’s the dad from how high

[@TheRebuilt1]

Martin was coming off a pretty good ride with Martin and a few pretty good movies but Eddie Murphy was the start of this movie. Martin as a show and his character was hilarious but Eddie a natural commedian and was the star of this movie. I would suggest Vampire in Brooklyn and Boomerang.

[@Ellis-w9v]

At the time I believe Bernie was in ever comedy. He has rizz

That Lionel Richie lookin' dude that y'all are trying to figure out was the Dean in How High.

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

Guys Eddie Murphy was abs all is the biggest star in this movie. This was his movie. He wrote it and chose martin and bernie and the others for those parts. Eddie has written several of his movies and is always star packedm check out Boomerang, that also has martin as a main character as well. You his talked through why biscuit didn't want to get out. It was because he was gay not because he's been in the half his life.

[@abducteeofearth1703]

Best black actors idk how to pick but the top three are Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx and Samuel Jackson. As for comedy it’s more difficult…Richard Pryor would have to be my first pick, Eddie Murphy is in a lot but idk about the quality vs quantity. Chris Rock had some good ones but Chris Tucker did too, but it seems Tucker always plays the same character. Katt Williams kills it in every role. (Atlanta series especially) Okay they’re funny, but are they playing the same type of character in the movies they’re in? That’s a tough one because Hollywood typically casts blacks guys as the comedic relief. So I guess what I’m trying to say is, the best comedic black actor of all time is…..Robert Downey Jr. 😊

Another great film you should watch is "Nothing to Lose".

They couldn't do this (get away) years ago because the OPPORTUNITY didn't present itself. The younger the more confinement, that's why they continued to get caught.

Bernie was kings of comedy came out after but in the movie wise like most movies Eddie had the klumps nutty professor run goin at the time as well
