The 1980s were definitely a different time. For the first time, Jaby & Hayley watch Trading Places, a comedy film about two unsuspected men who unknowingly switch lives from rich to poor, poor to rich, all due to being subjects of a one-dollar bet.
This film stars: Eddie Murphy (Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop, The Nutty Professor, The Haunted Mansion, Dr. Dolittle, Mulan, 48 Hrs, Dreamgirls, Dolemite Is My Name & Bowfinger), Dan Aykroyd (The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Coneheads, Christmas with the Kranks, Christmas with the Kranks, Tommy Boy, The Great Outdoors & My Girl), Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, True Lies, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Freaky Friday, A Fish Called Wanda, The Fog, Forever Young & Knives Out), Don Ameche (Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey & Cocoon), Denholm Elliott (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Ralph Bellamy (His Girl Friday, Pretty Woman, & Rosemary's Baby), & Paul Gleason (Die Hard, The Breakfast Club, Money Talks, & National Lampoon's Van Wilder)

In case anybody's curious, since it might get lost a bit in what exactly happened on the trading floor at the end in this video, here's the breakdown. Valentine and Winthrope gave the Dukes a fake copy of a "leaked" agricultural report that said the orange harvest was going to be very low this year, which would make orange juice much more expensive. So the Duke's told their broker to just keep buying all the orange juice futures contracts he could no matter what the price was. For reference, that means they're paying whatever the listed price on the board was for batches of orange juice, and then down the road those batches would be delivered to them and they could hopefully sell them back at a profit. Since the Dukes were expecting an orange drought, they expected the price to continue to climb through the rest of the year and they'd be able to sell back their shares at a huge profit. Instead, though, the real report said the opposite, that the orange harvest was fine and there would be plenty to go around. So right before that information got released, Valentine and Winthrope started "short selling" on orange juice. What that means is they were telling other brokers "Hey, if you pay us now for a batch of orange juice at the listed price, we'll sell it to you later on once we have it in hand." So for instance they were selling a batch they don't own yet at $140 today, then later that week or whenever they use that money to buy the batch from somebody else at hopefully a lower price and keep the difference. And so when the report went public, and everybody else realized the orange harvest was great and orange juice prices were going to be really low, everyone started to sell the commodity since the price was super-inflated. Valentine and Winthrope made a killing, people had been paying them upwards of $140 a share for something that the two of them would later use that money to buy at only $20-30 a share. Meanwhile, though, the opposite happened with the Dukes, they had been promising everybody they would buy all their shares at that $120-140 rate, which cost them hundreds of millions of dollars, but the actual product they were buying was only worth 1/6 that amount, so they were in the hole for most of it. And with these futures contracts, part of the agreements are you have to put some percentage of the money up front in cash, which is why the Dukes were broke.

This movie inspired rule changes in the 2010 Wall Street Reform Bill. It contained something called the “Eddie Murphy Rule.” In Section 746 of Dodd-Frank Act, it finally became illegal to use non-public information from agencies like the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve and Department of Agriculture to trade in the futures market.

@thenecessaryevil2634 6 ай бұрын

@@toastnjam7384 It was technically illegal then, but you basically had to be caught with the documents in hand. The law basically made the agencies meant to police insider trading proactive and raised the penalties from where they were set in the 20's to jailtime and a % of the illegal gains.

31:28 RE: Pacing - there's a reason a lot of the comedies from this era hold up. They focus on telling a good story about characters that you care about. So that you care about what's happening even when there's nothing funny going on. A lot of contemporary comedies wear you out, the jokes stop being funny after a while, (they're still funny, you're just not laughing at them any more) you stop caring, there's a reason stand-up sets cut it off at around an hour. If there's no story, you zone out. Some time late in the second act, the movie stops dead when you have to wrap up the story and the audience realizes there isn't one, at least not one they care about, and then it never recovers, leaving the audience with this vague feeling that it used up all its best stuff in the first twenty minutes. Movies like Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, and 48 Hours would all still be good if you took all the jokes out of them. Even cartoonish, fourth-wall-obliterating chaos like Airplane and Blazing Saddles had enough of an actual plot to hold your attention and get you invested in the characters between jokes

Yes, 'Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures' were and are still traded today. These days it's done electronically rather than on the exchange floor. Yes the old trading floors were chaotic. This movie even had an actual influence on financial regulation. When congress passed financial reform legislation (Dodd-Frank) following the financial meltdown and bailouts, it actually included an 'Eddie Murphy Rule' - finally making what they all were doing in the movie illegal.

Great reaction, as always guys. As an 80's teen, this was my era. The rhythms and pace feel like a well worn pair of jeans. I appreciate modern comedy also, but what was lost along the way was the unchained nature of comedy at that time. You literally could do or say anything in comedy at that time; comedy was considered a "green zone" where nothing was off limits. We have put the bumpers down and the guard rails up. I understand the intentions, but I miss that mosh pit.

The interest rate in 1983 would have been between 11-12%. Ophelia's 40k would be earning 4400 - 4800 in compounding interest :) 3 more years would put it at 54k if they were at 12%. :)

1. The booking officer is Frank Oz. (various Muppets/Yoda) 2. Beeks/Paul Gleason also played Richard Vernon in "The Breakfast Club" and the idiot assistant police captain in "Die Hard". 😇 3. Landis didn't want Jamie Lee Curtis because she had always been a "scream queen" and he didn't know if she had the chops for comedy. 4. When everyone pauses in the restaurant it's a play on the old "EF Hutton" commercial. "When EF Hutton speaks everybody listens". 5. One of the most VHS pauses in history. Jamie Lee Curtis.😍🥰😋 6. GOOF: Where did Louis get the gun AND all those drugs for only $50?🤑Even in 1983. 7. Don Ameche's strong religious convictions made him uncomfortable with swearing. This proved to be a problem for the scene at the end of the movie, where he had to shout out "Fuck him!" to a group of Wall Street executives. When he did act out the scene, it had to be done in one take, because Ameche refused to do a second one. He also had an issue with the N word. 8. There's an Easter egg in "Coming to America" with the Duke brothers. Eddie Murphy at his best.

@janekotoole8751 6 ай бұрын

Respectfully, I strongly disagree. I think one of the really interesting things about this movie is that no one comes out clean. Billy Ray went from running cons on the street in rags to running a much more harmful con on the exchange floor in a suit, Winthorpe's attempts to fight for some kind of weird personal justice (framing Billy Ray, the train heist) were generally terrible and as Jaby pointed out, both of them - along with Coleman and Ophelia - were quite happy to run a scam that wouldn't just have affected the Dukes, or even just their clients, but likely thousands of people from all walks whose money is tied into the stability of the exchange. I think, particularly with what we've seen in the finance sector the last decade or two, it's an interesting and prescient message that there's no room for things like empathy and humanity in the profit game.

@ScarlettM 6 ай бұрын

@@janekotoole8751 Dukes bet their own money on the orange juice, not their clients. That's why they lost everything. Some tried to follow their example, but as someone who is familiar with trading, let me tell you - a good trader would never jump into a trade just because someone else does it, especially not with a lot of money. So those fools that followed Dukes wouldn't have lasted long in this business anyway.

The scene with the other black employee shaking Mortimer Duke's hand is about the social racial office environment at the time. Essentially, he saw how well the Dukes were with Billy Ray and thought it was an opportunity for him to socialize with them as well. As for the suitcase, they needed it to appear like nothing happened for their plan to work, the original plan would have been Beeks delivering the file with no issues. Otherwise, they would have been suspicious about the trading they did later.

Going back to Animal House, blues Brothers, Stripes, of course the Ghostbusters stuff....it's just all comedy gold!

I’m glad this movie got made, it is such great fun. Because of todays focus on political correctness, this (or anything like it) would never be made today. I hope this movie will live on it it’s own right, and keep on entertaining future audiences.

They had to set up Beeks by first getting the actual crop report. Then Winthorp could read it and then replace it with the fake report to deliver to the Dukes. The train scene was all a distraction to make the switch(es). Him recognizing them blew up the plan and then Valentine was forced to impersonate Beeks.

33:59 "He had absolutely nothin'." What do you mean? He had pocket salmon! (That's at least one meal right there -- maybe two or three if it doesn't go too bad too quickly from the body heat!) 😆

A simple explanation of the wall street scene. The Duke's received bad info about the orange crop after they switched the cases (they got bad info saying the crop would be affected by the harsh winter.) They started buying FOJC to drive up the price (planning to sell at a later date when the price is way up - buy low sell high). Winthorp and Valentine waited until the price was super high (142) and yelled "sell 30 April at 142" (they promised no matter what happens they would sell at 142 at a later date.) When the crop report comes in and shows the winter has not affected the crops (no shortage in FOJC), the price plummets to 29 (leaving the Duke's holding a bunch of contracts that are at the 29 price.) Meanwhile Winthorp and Valentine have contracts allowing them to buy millions of FOJC in April for 29, and to sell it for 142. The Duke's cannot sell their now worthless contracts and have now lost themselves and their clients millions.

It's not uncommon for folks to be confused by the briefcase swap on the train..I haven't seen other reactors (or even people making comments) follow it. 23:39 - 1st swap is a 'dummy' so they can steal the real crop report. 23:52 - Winthorpe (Dan's character) needs to read the real one before he can write the fake one. 24:42 - Winthorpe (Dan, in 'blackface'..back then, even we allies of humans with darker skin didn't realize what an absolute insult it was) brings in the fake crop report that he created, and Beeks (can't recall the actor's name) catches the 2nd swap. Since he didn't catch the first swap, Beeks thinks they're stealing the real one instead of the 'dummy'. And further hilarity ensues! @Bodyknock described what happened at the exchange better than I ever could, so I'll just say seeing that Louie and Billy Ray took Coleman and Ophelia (JLCurtis) along for the ride after the success on on the trading floor was my favorite part of the film. They'd thrown in everything they'd saved for Louis & Billy Ray's scheme..and that's the karma kindness and compassion deserves.

This was Eddie Murphy's SECOND MOVIE (48 HRs was the first) and after the success of those movies he quit Saturday Night Live. BTW, this movie was originally supposed to star Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.

9:52 - "Interesting how comedies were done back then... the pacing is totally different." You should watch "His Girl Friday," a classic black and white comedy from 1940, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russel, AND Ralph Bellamy (the elder Duke Brother in this film!) If you want to see fast-paced comedy, if you want to see banter at a speed never attempted before or since, check that one out!!

14:17 I like this part with Coleman. He feels bad for what’s happening but has to go along to keep his job. The way he tells Valentine to just be himself cause no matter what they can’t take that from him. 20:50 they had to do this scene and the scene when they took Randolph away on a stretcher in one shot cause due to Don Ameche’s strong religious feelings he didn’t like swearing so he told them they had one shot to get it. 25:31 he saw Winthorpe more than he saw Valentine (I actually don’t think he did). Getting the case was only part of the plan. Can you believe that it took the the stock market until 2010 to create a rule that outlawed insider trading to corner the market and it was known as the Eddie Murphy rule. Gotta do “Coming to America”

The Dukes, based on the false crop report they'd been fed, believed that frost had damaged the orange crop, so they sent their trader in to buy FCOJ. Other people saw them buying and joined in, driving the price up. When the price got high enough, Winthorp and Valentine started to sell. They didn't actually have any shares at this point - a practice known as short selling - but as long as they later bought enough shares to cover their obligations that was perfectly fine. A combination of them selling and the announcement of the real crop report drove the price down. When it got low enough, Winthorp and Valentine started buying to cover all the sales they'd made. Having sold high and bought low, they made a huge amount of money. The Dukes had bought high and the shares they had were now worth very little, so when it came time to settle the accounts at the end of trading the losses were enough to bankrupt them.
