You asked for it now you get it, we went ahead and watched Harlem Nights since it was the most demanded movie on our last Tuesday movie! Patreon: / octokrool Twitter: / octokrool
That's so true, but they all left a hell of a catalog for generations to laugh and grow. I've seen this movie too many times to count and I'm laughing like it's my first time.
LOL but wait how about before that phone call when Sunshine turned to him and said "I think I'm falling in love with you." to Richie and that one tear falls down his face!! Too funny!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@TheRealMiamiman70 Boomerang is a good one from the 90's. It had Martin Lawrence, Halle Berry, John Witherspoon, Robin Givens, Chris Rock and some other big names.
@@orionsirius6540 can't forget Grace Jones and The legendary Eartha Kitt! I'm still convinced that they saw Grace Jones walking down the street, and gave her the skeleton of the script and she basically said whatever she wanted.
What I loved most about this movie was it was a dream come true for many of the main characters - Eddie grew up sneaking out to listen to Richard Pryor and Pryor did the same thing with Redd Foxx. Three generations of Comic Greats riffing off each other's inspirations for an entire movie? EPIC And Danny Aiello & Della Reese are absolute joys in this!
Eddie even said, “After the movie came out, they trashed it so bad. He didn’t watch it until 5 years after the fact. After seeing it, he was like,… this was a Great Movie”.
The main reason they trashed the movie was because they were trying to blackball Eddie Murphy for calling out the academy for racism. The critics trashed Coming to America as well, but historically speaking were the critics correct?
Was it written or directed the best? No, it’s a bit uneven at times but because of cast and the many hilarious situations that are still funny to this day it all came together really well there’s a reason it still holds up and is considered a classic. Just critics didn’t get it and it was his first real like black movie so they just don’t have the same sense of humor as black people. Also I think some of the critics just wanted to stick to Eddie because of some comments he made around the time about the academy awards and their racism.
So remember on the movie LIFE..Eddie Murphy told the guy fighting him over the Cornbread incident..." I know a b***h named Della that hit harder than that"?
The guy Tommy in the beginning who was with Dominique LaRue...that's NOT a fake laugh, that's his REAL laugh lol! His real name is Thomas Ford. He played "Tommy" in the Martin Lawrence tv show "Martin". He passed a few years ago. Funny guy & great actor. RIP Tommy
@@malikwilson7387 what? lol that movie has realism they used real gangs members filming that movie and that movie was one of the movies that's made gta San Andreas.
I had feeling you guys will do this movie!..you should do Boomerang which is so under rated movie from Eddie Murphy and Grace Jones also appears in it too.
Like I said earlier, I have watched this movie so many years, that I never heard the bird say it until now! How did I miss that? Oh yeah. Probably was laughing too much.
I love you guys lol..... Could you possibly consider watching The Color Purple , Poetic Justice or Dead Presidents in the near future? Oh yeah, some horror movies too !
Chris- "Dude, he shot the guy in the head when he was a kid. I knew that toe was gone." 🤣😂 Curtis- "I know..but...he didn't have to shoot the toe, man." 😂🤣😂 Highlight reaction for me!🥰
Maaaaan👀 yall finally watched this one too!!??. 🙌🏾 Yall the best reaction channel when it comes to yall fans/subscribers hands down. Yall actually listen to what people want u to watch. I never thought both movies "Life" and "Harlem nights" yall would react to so quickly. Love ya'll Lbvs. 💪🏾💪🏾💯
Thank you man! Doing what the people want is far more fun, lets us experience movies we've never heard of before and that's always a lot fun for us; we appreciate people like you in the comments!
I was expecting them to show the two scene when Sugar sends Sunshine to hook up with that dude at the bar and the bar scene. Sad they didn't show it. Great scenes
Even tho they had jokes on Benny, it was all love. That group was like a family and they didn't know how to show their love affectionately but they took care of eachother.
Fun Fact---In that scene in the Movie LIFE when Eddie Murphy was fighting that dude over his "cornbread" he said " I know a BITCH named DELLA who hit harder than you" He was talking about the scene in Harlem Nights when he fought DELLA REESE (the character VIRA)
Yall missed the part when Ray introduced Quick to the detective. Ray said he'd like to introduced him to Quick. The detective said "Quick as in fast" Quick said "Quick as QUICK to whoop somebody's ass"
Great reaction Harlem Nights was very well received when it was released. I’ve seen it so many times and it’s still funny and worth the watch. Please react to Bowfinger starring Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin.
22:15 The bread scene is accurate. Sliced bread wasn't invented until 1928 and wouldn't have been popular in 1930 yet. Bread was sold as a loaf and you had to slice it yourself in order to make a sandwich, which meant slices would often be thicker and uneven.
@@scabbedwings6548 I know I just forgot jasmine guy name so I referred to her as the lady from a different world and I definitely said lela roshan name unless there was some spell checks that changed my words but I appreciate you though
Old man here requesting you give an older movie a try. COOL HAND LUKE (1967). Great performances and some very quotable lines. Really enjoy your reactions!
Harlem Nights. You guys are my heroes. Seen the movie so many times. Ever since I was a kid. Sugar is the man. I have wondered if Smalls was telling the truth and the dirty cop was the one who took the money. He is the greedy type. 20:05-20:20 LOL.
This movie highlights so much of the struggle and counterpush of our need to fight the system. The cops are not always ethical, hustles are not always just lazy people.
You never ceases to amaze me you two...... WOW!!!! THIS MOVIE IS A TRUE CLASSIC, WITH THREE OF THE BEST BLACK COMEDIANS OF THREE GENERATIONS IN ONE FILM REDD FOXX RICHARD PRYOR EDDIE MURPHY
Watching you guys enjoying movies as much as I do is awesome. You just got a new sub. Also I literally spat out my drink when Curtis screamed out “Maraca Man run!”
Nice! This is a classic! You guys should watch Boomerang if you haven't seen it. Or The distinguished gentleman, its a comedic take on how politics really works. Both are Eddie Murphy films when he was still funny.
