Kim Murphy

U.S. Senator from Minnesota, Al Franken (Steward Smalley, SNL) ... Baggage Handler #1 Tom Davis (Al's comedy partner, Franken & Davis) Tom Davis - Baggage Handler #2

Jonathan Eaton

Brewster's Millions (1985) starring Richard Pryor and John Candy is a great movie with a somewhat similar vibe.

Ginger

Yay, was looking forward to this one <3 Totally agree with everything you said about the train sequence.

Adam Barry

Is it just me or is Simone sitting in even more of a tiny corner than usual??

Per George's question, I try to swear in Spanish, so my nieces and nephews (I don't have kids, at least none which aren't furry or feathered, and mostly nonverbal) will want to learn Spanish 😊 so, if they're gonna cuss, at least they can do it in multiple languages. Education is important.

In Italy " Trading Places" is broadcast since 1997 in television almost always at Christmas Eve. In America I read that the film was released in June while in the rest of the world towards autumn or winter. In Italy it was released in the middle of January.

Re: George's question about swearing in front of kids, I think it's partly because kids are learning language by listening to it and will repeat things even if they don't know what it means (always fun when that happens) but mainly because swearing tends to be words that refer to sex, religious blasphemy or bodily functions and many societies restrict children's access to sex education or are very against blasphemy, mainly for religious reasons in both cases.

Re: swearing. My kids are 14 and 12 and I've always thought of the issue like you do, George. Still, it's led to some interesting situations that also made us parents look in the mirror a bit and try to get better at WHEN to curse. When you hear your kid repeat something really expletivitous (yes, I fucking made that up) in their 2yo voice, it kinda sounds nasty... Especially in the wrong situation. When they've grown older, I think this "policy" has led to a much easier time. Cursing isn't a HUGE TABOO that they're aching to break, so it's easier to talk about when to curse and when not to. The usual non-curses in Finnish are too mild to feel satisfying, so I made some up when the kids were small. And they kinda worked and have stuck with me, because I came up with words that have the same phonemes as the naughty ones. (They'd probably sound really cringe to anyone else tho lol.)

Martin Nicholls

Kids have a habit of repeating words they hear regardless of meaning which can lead to faux pas. Socially frowned upon because the cat won't go back in the bag. Certainly a flawed movie but, also a classic. Yeah commodity futures exchanges - they swap slips mostly, the shouting is mostly to attract business (and by extension price discovery); and yes they do kinda still exist like there, there's a few left - there's still open floor trading on the NYSE but it runs parallel to the electronic trading which is like 99% of the volume. London Metal Exchange I think is the last major exchange where it still looks something like it does in the movie to this day (though futures trading is electronic). Also yes frozen orange juice is a real commodity, FCOJ-A. I could explain the trade but it'd put everybody to sleep - but in short Duke/Duke went levered long and got it horribly wrong and got margin called out the ass; they probably didn't just lose all their money but ended up in massive debt would be my guess, bankruptcy ensues. Valentine/Winthorpe took the opposite bet knowing there would be a glut of FCOJ causing the price to fall but their own bet against amplified the fall (golden rule of markets is they always grossly overreact). There's actually a rule in Dodd-Frank that is known as the Eddie Murphy Rule named specifically because of this movie around using access to government information about crop yields in trades (three guesses how well that's enforced).

If you guys want to learn more about what was happening at the end of the movie, how short selling works, what a margin call is, you should check out The Big Short (2015) and Margin Call (2011). Both of those movies are accurate in their portrayal of what can happen when you are on the wrong (and right) side of a financial situation (though there are modifications to the stories for brevity).

Yea, she lives under someones stairs, like that Potter kid

Logan Kerlee

Had such a fun time watching with you both! This movie's a riot, for sure. Big time enjoyed the ride. The train sequence was kinda.. yeah. Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy both played their roles really well! Very good stuff. Happy that you both watched this. :)

The Big Short is such a good movie, absolute masterclass in how to make a drama-documentary.

Tenn Seven

One of the two baggage handlers on the train was future United States Senator Al Franken! And yeah, the train scenes were kind of dumb. Don't know what they were doing with that, I think the people involved with the film wanted to have an excuse to cast some of their comedian buddies in the movie.

James O'Sullivan

There's a great Stephen Fry documentary about swearing from his series Fry's Planet Words, which is worth checking out. But a theory on how words become swear words is the emotion applied to them. Parents tend to gasp, get angry or laugh when a kid says a swear word, that emotional reaction is imprinted. Also explored in that documentary, stubbing your toe? Swearing is proven to help reduce pain! Watch the episode to enjoy Fry and Brian Blessed being made to say "fuck" for a minute, for science! :D

Steve Mercier

Still my favorite line in the movie: VALENTINE: "Hey Winthorpe! Winthorpe!" WINTHORPE: "BLEEEEEGH!"

Dr. Johnny Fever

This was a child appropriate comedy in the 80s. That's how we rolled. I was probably 10 when I saw it.

Tyler Mckenzie

I agree with George on swear words. Kids are going to learn them eventually. It's inevitable.

Dr. Johnny Fever
>>97208476

I remember sitting in the big tire on the playground with my friends on the first day of 1st grade and I asked them "Are you guys gonna cuss this year?" That's when I grew up.

Tyler Mckenzie

Fun fact: Philadelphia used to be the capital of the US until 1790 when they decided to cut out a 10 by 10 section of Maryland and Virginia and create Washington D.C because it was the middle of the country at the time and they though it was a better location.

Opti_Frog

The only movie that i've ever had to find an "ending explained" yt video for. 😄 Oh, and as a swede, Inga from sveeden is hilarious. And please watch Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman.

Young Blood Priest

Coleman was also in the Indiana Jones franchise as Marcus. Indy’s friend/benefactor. Another good film with Don Ameche (Mortimer) is Cocoon.

JayF

I did warn you that there was a scene that didn't age well. It was the black face scene I was referring to. I guess we had no mercy towards villains back then because I still find the ape bit hilarious. And yes the one guy was in Airplane but you missed Al Franken (future senator from Minnesota) and Frank Oz (Jim Henson's right hand insofar as the Muppets are concerned and who has directed a bunch of good movies). Franken played one of the baggage handlers on the train. Oz was one of the cops in the jail. The "it's an opera" guy.

Tyler Mckenzie

I was not expecting the black face. That really didn't age well.

Dr. Johnny Fever
>>97213713

It aged fine except for Dan Aykroyd now trying to be woke and saying blackface people should be cancelled. It's a comedy. LAUGH.

Kinokind

Did no one notice that the commodities exchange at the end is inside the World Trade Center? And yes, up until Covid they were still trading exactly as in the movie - yelling in a pit. Not sure if they resumed since then, or if they have changed it. And yes, that was Jim Belushi, John's brother. The baggage handlers were the then comedy team of Tom Davis and future US Senator, Al Franken. And for anyone ever involved in theater or film, did you notice that when Beakes was trussed up, that they used black gaffer's tape? Where did they get that!? Answer: they asked a stagehand. Oh, and the crooked cop who finds the drugs was none other than Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and the director of Little Shop of Horrors. . . Frank Oz.

Thomas Yanez

Your faces, when Aykroyd showed up on the train, were priceless.

Jester

Not available on any streaming services in Australia! Booooooo

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.

Gary Fixler

I laughed at their confusion around the ape sequence. That's just so 80s to me. Costumed characters, robots, animatronics, stop motion, they were often just shoehorned in so randomly in 80s movies. Everything's normal, and then all of a sudden, there's a human-sized robot rolling around vacuuming the floor for no reason, other than to be cool, because robots were a big, new, cool thing at the time, and someone higher up wanted it in the movie to up ratings with kids.

Gary Fixler
>>97206415

Have to agree. I was a kid through the 80s, and watched films like this all the time, and so did almost every kid, certainly all my friends. The bad words rolled right off us, and whenever boobs appeared, parents would say "Close your eyes!" and we'd close our eyes until it was over :-D

The giant clothespin that Simone commented on is a real piece of public art by Claes Oldenburg that was erected in 1976 near City Hall in Philadelphia: https://www.associationforpublicart.org/artwork/clothespin/# As a local, it's always a treat for me to see Philadelphia pop up in movies (especially from decades past, seeing how much the city has changed over the years) and quite a bit of the movie was filmed in town.

I love people who look back on history in this current brainless, and talentless generation and say how certain scenes didn't make sense or were not necessary. Make a few movies of your own that are creative and then come with receipts.

So you can only criticise something if you've done it yourself? Also the current generation are no more brainless or talentless than previous generations. Some just have different views/tastes.

SmooothE 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm free to offer an opinion and you're free to disagree. I choose to support people trying to do something like CinBinge and others and can offer feedback otherwise there would be no comment section. Again my point is they can't be so offended looking through their 2022 vision. You think as a black man I wasn't offended watching Gone with the Wind or reading Huck Fin but I had enough sense to realize these items were produced in a different time than the 70s.

"they cant be offended" surely thats up to them to decide, that they should have the freedom to feel as they want to feel. or do you think you have the right to tell them what theyre allowed to feel/say? isnt that a bit hypocritical?

james repka

The first guy you recognized but couldn't place was a 25-year-old Giancarlo Esposito, best known as Gus Fring from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but also from The Mandalorian, Westworld, The Boys, many Spike Lee joints, and pretty much everything else.

Probably my favorite exchange in The Last Crusade: Jones Sr. "You said he has two days' head start, that he would blend in, disappear." Indiana: "Are you kidding? I made that up! You know Marcus, he once got lost in his own museum!"
