Hey BJ didn't know if anyone notices but you will get a kick out of this. When Eddie was arrested and was in jail there was a skinny black guy leaning against the bars. The actor in the shot was Giancarlo Esposito also know as Gus Fring from Breaking Bad

2025-02-27 18:19:34 +0000 UTCMy favorite Eddie Murphy movie. Great cast, script, direction. Among John Landis' best films (and that's saying a lot!).

2023-06-28 07:30:29 +0000 UTCIf you watch the first Coming To America theres an easter egg in that movie to this one

2023-06-27 00:21:19 +0000 UTCI recognized Paul Gleason right away. He was the principal in the breakfast club. This movie is a classic comedy. Many great actors.

2023-06-26 17:11:13 +0000 UTC***SUGGESTION*** --> A League Of Their Own | It's a baseball movie with heart and comedy. One of Tom Hank's best performances, in my opinion.

2023-06-24 20:58:56 +0000 UTCTime to watch Coneheads, also with Dan Aykroyd! 👍

2023-06-24 04:37:11 +0000 UTCI love this movie. And if you’re curious about what actually happened at the end of the movie, this is a pretty good explanation: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/07/19/201430727/what-actually-happens-at-the-end-of-trading-places

2023-06-24 04:21:11 +0000 UTCSome of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies are the Beverly Hills Cop ones. Highly recommend. Blockbusters in their day.

2023-06-24 01:38:43 +0000 UTCThis actually makes my day! This movie is great. You still need to check out ‘usual suspects’ and ‘major league’ and you’ll finish off all my suggestions

2023-06-23 21:33:31 +0000 UTCYes!!!!!!!!!
Christopher Smelser
2023-06-23 21:31:41 +0000 UTCMight have been Jim Belushi you recognised due to him looking like John Belushi who was in the Blues Brothers you just watched. John by all accounts was meant to be in this, or that's the rumours, but he died before it. He was friends with Dan and so I think this is how it came about.
Michael Paddon
2023-06-23 18:05:28 +0000 UTCyou know is the 1980s when anybody cares about a limousine still lol
coburnsven
2023-06-23 15:00:58 +0000 UTCDid anyone notice Gus Fring in the jail cell in the beginning? Also this movie is the Hoi Polloi episode of The Three Stooges LOL
Karim
2023-06-23 14:45:54 +0000 UTCI didn't know if you guys noticed, but the policeman who found the "angel dust" was the same policeman in The Blues Brothers who had Jake's "soiled" condom. This film was directed by John Landis, who also directed "The Blues Brothers".
Mike the Ginger
2023-06-23 05:54:49 +0000 UTCI don’t think this is the first Eddie Murphy movie they’ve seen. I think it’s just the first one they’ve reacted to. I imagine they have seen quite a few, but they hadn’t seen this one. Obviously, they won’t do reactions to movies they’ve already watched on their own (unless one of them hasn’t seen it yet).

2023-06-23 05:25:26 +0000 UTCHaha Yep. And his line after the helicopter blows up. “We're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.”
Jesse
2023-06-23 04:51:35 +0000 UTCOh, yeah, Powell’s boss. “I’ve got people covered in glass!” Haha
Travis Miller
2023-06-23 03:43:30 +0000 UTCThe end when Winthorp and Billy Ray are at the exchange selling and buying shares of the OJ is very confusing. I had to Google that scene to understand it. It was very informative if u get the chance.
David Cansler
2023-06-23 03:03:54 +0000 UTC48hrs and another 48hrs and interesting movies and were always on TV through the 90's that & the Golden Child with Charles Dance
shawn boyce
2023-06-23 03:03:21 +0000 UTCYep. He plays a great person we love to hate. He was also a similar character in the first Die Hard.
Jesse
2023-06-23 01:55:49 +0000 UTCI love 48 hours and Beverly hills cop, but I think they should watch coming to America, especially the surprise ending.
Todd Williamson
2023-06-23 01:46:35 +0000 UTCBeeks is the principal from The Breakfast Club.
Travis Miller
2023-06-23 01:33:59 +0000 UTCYou need to watch Coming to America - Randolph and Mortimer have a cameo in that movie.
QuotableDeer
2023-06-23 01:08:40 +0000 UTCYou may have recognized a young Giancarlo Esposito who played Gus in Breaking Bad. He was the one standing by the bars in the jail cell.
Monica W
2023-06-23 01:07:52 +0000 UTCJust FYI, the music playing with the opening credits that you seemed to enjoy was the overture to Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro", which he composed in the late 1700's.

2023-06-23 01:00:44 +0000 UTCWow. 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop. Let’s roll. 🎥🍿

Pink Martini AZ
2023-06-22 23:25:16 +0000 UTCI’m surprised this is your first Eddie Murphy movie. You will have to watch 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop! Great flicks with Eddie. This is always a fun movie. Loved watching again with you both. Oh and Jim Belushi was playing the first guy in the gorilla costume during the train party. He wasn’t a big name yet but went on to more movies and TV shows. He is also John Belushi’s brother who was one of the Blues Brothers you watched not long ago.
Pink Martini AZ
2023-06-22 22:42:25 +0000 UTCOh yeah and Jim Belushi was the guy dressed as the gorilla.John Belushi's brother from Blues Brothers which Dan Akroyd was in of course. Before they put Beaks in the gorilla suit

Rio Mendoza
2023-06-22 21:44:46 +0000 UTCGuy working at the pawn shop is legendary guitarist/singer Bo Diddley. He played a main role in the 50s in bringing about the transition from blues to rock and roll and influenced many artists, including Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, and Pink Floyd. There would be no George Thorogood without Bo yo. 🎸🎶
Jesse
2023-06-22 21:37:03 +0000 UTCAnd if u never saw a Eddie Murphy skit when he did SNL I highly recommend u watch him as Mr. Robinson
Lewsifer
2023-06-22 19:27:10 +0000 UTCU two are killing it with the comedys the last two months. Thanx Asia and BJ. Coneheads(1993) is now ur next one from Dan Aykroyd u have to watch. Another SNL skit that got turn into a movie. As for Eddie Murphy I said in the Ace Ventura reaction, all of his movies are must watch. I grew up on The Nutty Professer(1996) and Dr. Doolittle(1998) movies. I'll also highly recommend Harlem Nights(1989) with Richard Pryor and Life(1999) with Martin Lawrence.
Lewsifer
2023-06-22 19:21:50 +0000 UTCYep, Giancarlo Esposito . Thanks for pointing that out.
Jesse
2023-06-22 18:37:48 +0000 UTCYou didnt notice when Eddie was in jail at start that was Gus from breaking bad!
Gary DeRosa
2023-06-22 18:32:28 +0000 UTCTHIS IS AWESOME YO. I was thinking about you guys doing a reaction to this for awhile. I agree with Aurelio(above). My all time favorite comedy. (Warning: food spoiler below) I always fantasized my life would eventually match the ending scene. Mine turned out kinda different, like a paved paradise. And no lobster or cracked crab either. More like tuna fish with crack heads hanging around. There’s still time though. 🙏 “Looking good Asia,BJ and Fam!” ☮️💙 💵
Jesse
2023-06-22 18:08:30 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite guilty pleasure movies :) Let’s go!

Jerry
2023-06-22 17:34:45 +0000 UTCThis is my all time favorite comedy film ever made. Thank you guys so much. This and coming to America are the best. I love when you guys post surprise films that we dont know are coming. Oh yeah and "Feel me flow" is not DMX BJ its Naughty by Nature. The song Asia was signing before the movie.
