So the short of what happened at the end was because the orange crops weren't affected by winter, then there would large amounts of cheap oranges. The Dukes thought the crops were affected, so instead of selling high then buying low, they bought high then sold low. Aykroyd and Murphy knew the real crop report so they sold high and bought low. The numbers they showed on the boards meant that Aykroyd and Murphy made contracts to buy oranges at $0.29 a pound in units of a thousand, and also made contracts to sell those exact same oranges at $1.42 a pound, making a profit of 545%. Oranges are traded in units of a thousand pounds, with several units per single contract, and you could hear traders talking about buying and selling hundreds of contracts. It's not exactly known how much they invested with the life savings and the money meant for Beaks, but the current guesstimate is in the tens of millions, possibly over 100 million. What was done to achieve such success (trading commodities on inside information obtained from the government) wasn't illegal back when the movie was made, but when it was made illegal in 2010, it was appropriately named the Eddie Murphy Rule.

[@colormedubious4747]

Their seed money, including the investments from the hooker and the butler, was probably not much more than $100K. They leveraged that into access to the trading floor and margin for their initial short sales, which is where the REAL profit happened. After they closed their short positions, I'd guess they were up at LEAST $100M, perhaps $300M. Enough to buy a passage-maker yacht and cruise the tropics, anyway.

Coming To America was released 5 years after Trading Places, and features the "Mortimer, we're back" line when Eddie Murphy's character gives a huge amount of money to two homeless men who are actually the Duke Brothers, now living on the streets.

It was also on a closed set and he nailed it in the first take!! He hated so called "blue humor" :)

Frank Oz was not just the "voice" of Yoda and many Muppet characters, he was also the "performer" of those characters. So was Richard Hunt, who played Wilson in this movie.

[@garymarshall4447]

Love Denholm Elliott as Coleman. He has never had many leading roles but he tends to shine in his co-starring roles such as Marcus Brody in the Indiana Jones films. His scene-stealing abilities led Gabriel Byrne, his co-star in Defence of the Realm, to say: "Never act with children, dogs, or Denholm Elliott."

[@thoso1973]

Denholm Elliot was also brilliant in the mini-series with pre-fame Nicole Kidman and Hugo Weaving, called 'Bangkok Hilton'. Lead role, not supporting.

[@lylypad]

He doesn't get enough recognition. I love him so much!!

[@TSIRKLAND]

So many brilliant moments in this film. Just subtle movements of the eyes, expression that shifts ever so slightly. He's a butler, so he's not supposed to really voice his opinion, but though his face stays relatively neutral, it still speaks volumes. The dismay at finding the two undressing by the fire is great. Speaking to Winthorp through the crack in the door, pretending to not know who he is: He's being paid by the Duke brothers to go through with this charade, but though his boss is a jerk, Coleman is not without pity; there is a flash of regret in his eyes, just before he closes the door. And my absolute favorite: "Eggnog?" SO much boiled into that single, simple word. Just great acting. Love Denholm Elliott.

[@bamboosho0t]

As an actor I loved Denholm, especially in Indiana Jones!

[@davidlionheart2438]

He was also really excellent in the 1968 BBC production of "Dracula" in the title role. I would never have thought of him for the role, but he was wonderful!

[@harpergras]

Randy Jackson is the youngest brother of the Jackson brothers...He played bongos occasionally for his brothers group " The Jackson Five " and then when the brother Jermaine left the group, Randy joined them on a permanent bases...They then changed the name to "The Jacksons", because Motown records owned the right to " The Jackson Five " name...The Randy Jackson that you were talking about is a different Randy Jackson.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Aykroyd made his bones (as did Murphy) first on the original Saturday Night Live. 2. He also worked with John Belusi in the Blues Brothers. 3. Beeks is played by the late Paul Gleason. He also played Richard/Dick Vernon in "The Breakfast Club" and the idiot deputy police chief in "Die Hard". 4. The police officer that tells Louis the powder is PCP is Frank Oz the voice for Kirmit, Yoda and many of the Muppets. 5. The studio didn't want Jamie Lee Curtis for the roll of Ophilia because they only saw her as a scream queen, but Landis insisted on casting her. Good for us. 5. I like how sympathetic Coleman is to Billy Ray. You can tell early on that he has no love for the Dukes. 6. In the restaurant when Billy Ray is about to speak it's a play on the old EF Hutton commercial. "When EF Hutton speaks everybody listens" 7. One of the most paused scenes in VHS history.😍🥰🤩 (JLC) 8. I wonder where Winthorp got all those drugs (and the gun) for only $50 Even in 1983. 9. When Don Ameche says "Fuck him" regarding his brother he insisted that they use only one take because it didn't want to swear at all. He also had an issue with the N word too.

Winthorpe and Valentine's scheme at the end is a type of insider trading, but it wasn't specifically illegal at the time. The SEC later instituted the "Eddie Murphy rule" to address this type of situation.

Jamie Lee introduced many of us to puberty in this one back in the day.

They did a short sell. Basically, they sold shares that they didn't currently own at a high price and then bought all of those shares back at a lower price so at the end of the day, they didn't owe any shares to anybody. They also didn't buy the shares from the dukes leaving the dukes with completely worthless shares

One thing I think both men and women would all agree we learned from this movie was that Jamie Lee Curtis had (and many would argue still has) an absolutely rocking bod! 🥵😍 It’s no surprise she was in a movie two years later where the movie title described her character’s physique, 1985’s “Perfect”

[@dionkelly8420]

Randy Jackson was Michael's youngest brother and joined the group as the drummer later on after older brother Jermaine left the group. American Idol didn't exist in 1983, so Eddie wouldn't have been talking about judge Randy Jackson from the TV show.

In Italy the film (title in Italian "Una poltrona per due" - "A chair for two") has become a cult. For almost 30 years it has been regularly broadcast during the Christmas period (since 2008 it has always been broadcast on Christmas Eve) and every time it achieves at least 15% share despite knowing all the scenes by heart. This despite the fact that the share of old films on generalist TV is now at minimum levels. Of course also seen last night.

Both of the Mortimer Brothers are played by well known actors from the 1930/40s's with Don Ameche being slightly more of a leading man. If you get round to watching the original "The Wolfman " movie from the 1940s Ralph Bellamy is one of the leading players.

[@artursandwich1974]

When Don Ameche was about to shoot one of the final scenes where his character's brother collapses on the stock exchange floor and he has to say " .... him!" he asked everybody on the set to concentrate and "let's try and do it in one shot because I'm about to do something that is very difficult for me - use foul language" and that is such a rare beautiful trait in people that he possessed. Of course everybody concentrated and they did it in one shot.

That bald cop who found the drugs on Lewis was played by Frank Oz- the voice of Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Yoda. It would have been hilarious if he could have said that line "You're looking at three to five mandatory, Louis!" in Fozzie's voice. Or even better Miss Piggy's voice.
