Short selling of stock shares (As I understand it): Louis and Billy Ray first had to borrow shares of the commodity (Frozen OJ). They had to return the shares at an agreed-upon time. They sold all their shares at a high price ($142), then waited for the price to drop. Once the price dropped, they bought as many shares as they could. They then returned the shares that they borrowed, but at the final price ($29) They made a fortune!

[@MeFreeBee]

Nearly spot on, but they're trading futures rather than shares. By selling futures they agreed to supply OJ at some specific later date at the agreed price. Later on, when the price has dropped, they buy futures which cancels out their obligation to supply, and they pocket the difference in price. You don't need to 'borrow' to short on futures the way you would with stocks.

It's hard to believe Eddie Murphy was only 22 when this came out. He's so natural and comfortable on camera. This is such a fun movie.

[@MrLovegrove]

I never did the math on that. It never occurred to me how young he was making 48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop, and this. That raises my estimation of him even more now.

[@madeincda]

He was famous already by this time. Also, it's a talent he developed as a child as far as I remember.

[@user-cs4fg1rm5k]

And how young he was on SNL.

Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy were both SNL cast members.

He also directed Dark Crystal and Little Shop of Horrors which you must react to as well. One of those guys at 28:24 is Al Franken former SNL cast member and US senator. Beef jerky time.

Also shout outs to Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy as well, as the brothers. They were consummate professionals and well established veterans by this time, but both had something of a late career renaissance. Also the wonderful Denholm Elliot, who also had a sizeable film career (you probably know him as Dr. Marcus Brody in the Indiana Jones films).

[@richarddefortuna2252]

Well, that's Jim Belushi, John's younger brother, and one of the "two eighties guys [you] should know" is former United States Senator Al Franken (the other is his then-SNL partner, Tom Davis). The cop with the glasses that plants the PCP is Muppets creator Frank Oz, and the pawn shop owner is blues legend Bo Diddley! Lots of great people in this film!

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

Jen! Great reaction, and thank you for an edit that includes the setup for a joke and ALSO the payoff! For example, the scene where Valentine breaks the vase and asks if they want him to break something else. The payoff, the 3 men saying, "No!" in unison, is comedy gold, and so many reactors cut that line out. Remember, most of us have already seen the movie, and the punch lines are what we're waiting for. You can't cut iconic scenes or only include random lines from the movie with zero context. Keep up the good work!

[@jackndew2]

You know, I have to agree that some reaction channels do a less than adequate job in their editing. Missing punch lines and rolling through or completely cutting iconic scenes defeats the purpose of watching someone else's reaction. Gets really disappointing.

Good reaction Jen. The gratuitous scene you mentioned was one of the most famous and anticipated ones of the decade. In all the horror movies Jamie Leigh was in early in her career, she never had a topless scene. This was her first. It even got a mention in the first Scream movie. For Eddie, you have to watch Coming to America. Trust me, you will laugh your butt off. For Dan, his best movies are this, Ghostbusters, and The Blues Brothers. For both, they made their name on SNL. You might try some Best of… videos for each of them to really get a feel for them. A Jamie Leigh you might enjoy is A Fish Called Wanda. Some love it, some don't. But you'll have to watch to decide. Finally, I highly recommend you watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I know you will love it. It is right up your alley. Have a Happy New Year Jennypenny.

[@conureron3792]

Yes! Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is great!

[@mr.a8315]

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) is a very good call. As is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988). I'd like to add 'Without a Clue' (1988 again). A Sherlock Holmes comedy with Michael Caine. It's not without its flaws, but fans of Caine and Holmes usually enjoy it.

Dan, Jamie and Eddie, all three at the top of their games here, and really brought what would have been an average script to the next level. Beverly Hills Cop and 48hrs round out Eddies best three films from this period, and are worth the watch anytime of year, as these movies are all comedy gold.

Denholm Elliott is one of my favourite actors. He mostly plays a supporting roles but almost always steals the scenes that he is in, leading to one actor saying "Never work with children, dogs or Denholm Eliiott". He won the BAFTA supporting actors award for his role in this film, a feat that he would repeat for the next 2 years with roles in A Private Function & Defense of the Realm. He was also nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actor in A Room With A View.

I grew up at just the right time: starting with “Jaws” in 1975 at age ten. I got to see all of these iconic 70’s and 80’s flicks when they came out. Eddie Murphy also did “48 Hours” and “Another 48 Hours.” He also did “The Golden Child.” Dan Ackroyd did “Spies Like Us,” and “Evolution.”

[@andreabindolini7452]

Wonderful reaction, Jen! The first ever reaction I ever saw of this movie. Here in Italy, "Trading Places" has become the most traditional and beloved Christmas movie. It is broadcast on TV every Christmas Eve at least for the last twenty years, and every year it highly followed.

[@gerstelb]

1:00 Note that this is when the Rocky statue was at the Spectrum, in the Sports Complex in South Philadelphia, not at the Art Museum. 8:14 The guy standing on the left is a very young Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian). 17:12 For the past two years I’ve worked on the 27th floor of the building right behind the giant clothespin.

Hi, Jen, really looking forward to your reaction to this funny movie. Dan Aykroyd is my favorite from the original SNL cast. This is your second movie in a row featuring a US senator. Al Franken plays a goofy baggage handler, along with his writing partner Tom Davis. They wrote on SNL from day 1.

[@THOMMGB]

Jen, First off, I hope you have at least 75K subscribers by next June. You're almost there. The butler (Denholm Elliott) was also Marcus Brody in the Indiana Jones movies, for what that's worth. Don Ameche as Mortimer was not the kind of guy to use foul language. Before he let loose with an F bomb, he apologized to the cast and crew. He also told the Director, he would only do ONE take, so they better get it right. And they did. I think there's another Beverly Hills Cop movie coming. I hope you have a safe and healthy 2024. Stay warm!!

[@mcgilj1]

As great as the leads are... Seems that no one ever singles out Denholm Eliot as Coleman whose fantastic... He was also Marcus Brody in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade... I just want to see someone shout out his wonderful work here.

What a classic - thanks for letting us watch it with you! Eddie has 2 stand-up films that I'm aware of, an HBO special "Delirious" and a theatrical release "Raw", both are hilarious. Dan Akroyd, besides his movies, is best known as a writer and performer on the original Saturday Night Live. His take on the old classic cop drama from the '60's "Dragnet" (also starring Tom Hanks) is an underrated gem. Of course if you're looking for movies you've actually heard of I would recommend "Coming to America" and "The Blues Brothers"

I love this movie so much. It's so crazy, I've watched it at least once a year, I think, since I was like 10 because it's on every year around Christmas and we would just end up watching it. But every couple of years I would notice more and more about the movie, just because at 10 I obvs don't understand as much as at 20. And when I switched from the dubbed version on tv to the OG (english) version on stream or dvd, there was so much more to discover. Just because a lot of idioms or cultural references were not being translated or translated differently

When this film was made Ralph Bellamy (Randolph Duke), and Don Ameche (Mortimer Duke), had both been making movies for 50 odd years going back to Hollywood’s Golden Age. Bellamy had made 99 movies and Ameche 50 movies. It was Eddie Murphy’s first film role. In a press interview with the three when promoting the film, Murphy humorously quipped that between them they’d made 150 movies much to Bellamy’s and Ameche’s amusement.
