As I laughed hysterically at the triumvirate "NO!!!!!!!!" I must also mourn the loss of Ralph Bellamy, Denholm Elliott, and Don Ameche. RIP, gentlemen!
"Because stuff like this happens to me all the time" 🤣🤣🤣 I've been using that line since I saw this movie back in the 80's, and it never fails to get a chuckle or two
Even though in this scene Coleman looks like he's going along with the Dukes, you can notice how much Coleman really didn't want to be part of the Dukes' scheme, such as after first hearing about it on the phone, and then hanging up and muttering "what scumbags". And the pained look on his face when then saying goodnight to Winthorp and Penelope, since he knew what the Dukes were about to do to Winthorp but Winthorp had no idea yet. And then the scene where he refuses to let Winthorp into his home pretending he doesn't know him, obviously only doing it because he was afraid the Dukes would fire him if he didn't do that. By later in the film when Winthorp almost died as a result of what the Dukes did to him, Coleman was beyond worrying about his job anymore, welcomed Winthorp back, and was just as willing as him to seek revenge on the Dukes
@@Mighty-ue7bt yep, I'm sure he has. And the Dukes themselves mentioned having done those kinds of bets before when they're about to switch Winthorp and Valentine.
Eddie Murphy is a fantastic actor, Trading places to shrek, Beverley hills cop to Mulan, Eddie Murphy was great. My favorite of his films is coming to America, mwah!
Coming to America showed the world that when you mess with people's lives because you feel that you can after God has Blessed you with more than enough you will feel his wrath...those 2 old men lost everything ✨
My Mom passed away a few years ago and I inherited her home that she had some really nice stuff in it. When I first moved in, I watched this scene and could oddly relate. I was living in a trailer and she worked her ass off to leave me a 3 br house. She was amazing ❤
@@stickemuppunkitsthefunlovi4733 yeah I have a painting that is surprisingly expensive in my home and I'm like I don't want anything to f*** with it and it has sat on the ground before 😂 I wouldn't have done that with the vase
@@emanonymous do they? 😆 I'll burn my work to the ground before id give them a dime of my earning to this trash office of today lost hope due to that swamp of shit.
my best scene of trading places. I can't cease watching through the years. It reveals the long-term effects of oppression and colonialism on the psyche. Physically alright, but the mind and thoughts are so damaged to think of survival (You better grasp it all now, you won't find it tomorrow). Thinking about Africans especially when they get into political positions.
Arvind Talukdar We're not in a struggle together. There is no struggle at all. Everyone in America has a chance at becoming whatever they want to be. All they have to do is take the chances and risks. But no, they want other people to do it for them, or to be given everything.
The foundational principals of Critical Race Theory summarized in 116 minutes with a script that manages to combine the best of Richard Pryor and Mark Twain. Eddie Murphy really displayed phenomenal acting chops.
