What happens when you combine the comic genius of Eddie Murphy with Dan Aykroyd and director John Landis? You get a timeless comedy classic lace d with sidesplitting, satiric humor. Murphy stars as a small-time con ar tist who gets a chance to switch lives with Aykr oyd's big-time stock ma rket maven. But their reversal of fortunes is just a cruel joke perpetra ted by two bored mega-rich brothers ( Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) as p art of an idle bet. When the truth comes out...the consequences are shee r comedy gold!

Great movie even without the heavy coating of nostalgia

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had this movie back in the days of VHS and loved it, to death. RIP VHS tape. I got the DVD back in the day and now with the anniversary edition I have it again in a format I will be watching again. I was debating on buying the digital copy but can't bring myself to spend ten bucks on something that could disappear tomorrow with minimal warning.
This is one of the great 80's movies where the actors were on some of their best games. This was also back in the day when you would get the extra boobie shot if you needed it or not (and to 16 year old me when I saw it first, I was a need). The three principal actors were great and I still love their work to this day but this movie had a great supporting cast and it is a joy to watch them work.
If you haven't seen the movie before and you like anything from the 80's then this should be added to your must see. It is the story of rich guy made broke and street guy made rich all because of a bet from two rich bored brothers. Ah, to have that kind of money.

The Movie Is Great - 4K UHD...meh

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wasn't expecting miracles for a 4K UHD of a movie from 1983, but I also own other older UHD movies, like "The Thing" from 1982 (which is FANTASTIC quality btw), and this left me wholly unimpressed.

Again, movie is a MUST OWN for anyone. Yes, it does have some cultural issues with 1983 humor versus what is acceptable today, but still a classic.

The review i'm writing, however, just needs to point out that you won't be impressed at all with the UHD. Often splotchy and grainy. Really not anything to write home about. But, i'm happy to have the movie. Always worth a watch.

Great Movie and Excellent deal

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

This review is for the 2018 Blu-ray,a new version is coming out from the Paramount Library series with fancy packaging and a couple of new extras.This disc features a deleted scene,a promotion video for ShoWest Dan and Eddie made and a few other short information videos about trading etc.Definitely a great comedy with an interesting social message,probably one of the most underrated movies of the eighties.Great deal with the digital copy ,I was a bit worried because one it was an ultraviolet streaming movie and 2 code might not be good after 6/20/2020 but mine code worked on iTunes and then just to check I went to see where you can add to your library.ITunes,Vudu and Fandango are the options,so I see if the code would add to Vudu after I used it for iTunes and it worked.Unfortunately Paramount pulled out of movies anywhere but for $10 getting a disc and the digital is great deal .

Why is Billy Ray’s first day at Duke & Duke “Good Morning” scene absent?

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I was able to rent this VHS when I was 9 in 1984. I know this film by heart, and in terms of comedies and it’s rare that a phenomenal comedy is timeless for 13-80 year olds. The only others of the period that might be timeless for all ages are Groundhog Day and a few Mel Brooks films but I’ll pick SPACEBALLS. As a child I loved ghost Busters but the only moments that can be comical to adults is the opening with Bill Murray buzzing the guy while running his scam ESP research, and scenes with Rick Moranis and Weaver.
So why did I reduce a star? Well I have the DVD, I have the second Blu Ray release, and “Special Edition in 4K” via prime video.
And the version I saw on VHS and I rented it repeatedly I didn’t buy it. Was R, had the topless scenes, and had a key brief contrast scene when Eddie Murphy enters Duke & Duke, and like Winthorp gets bombarded with good mornings from low level employees, so does Eddie Murphy with hysterical confused expressions. Also when he dropped the F bomb there was no motherfu pause and nice talk.
I don’t mind the later it’s funnier. I do mind being bamboozled for deleted scenes that were deleted for DVD and Blu Ray production. I saw this on VHS when VHS had already beat out the beta box, just like DVDs destroyed Laser Disc, and Bluray vs HD-DVD players.
Unlike the later two, the VHS was the theatrical release. There were no director cuts, special features, and commentaries(excuses to blind you that your sitting like a lump watching).
I don’t know why that “Good morning scene” was a deleted scene in theaters that was inserted into VHS if that’s the case. I was too young to know anyone that saw it in theaters to ask.
On this release it’s in deleted scenes separate from the film. On the 4K streaming version it’s not there although it’s compared in alternate formats to the most recent Super Blu Ray (which is 1080p not a UHD+HDR version.
So it’s a 5 star film. And 4 stars for misleading descriptions on Amazon Prime. I spent enough on this movie not to purchase a second Bluray.

Never a better time to take in a classic 80's movie than right now!

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I won't get into it, but I am pretty sure back in the days of cavemen and VCR's, there is a short 10-second section of videotape, where any over-stressed copy of this movie would break. I am sure five and dime video hut owner's across the nation cursed loudly as they chomped a cigar for the cost of multiple broken tapes of this movie.

This phenomenon is only contextually important before the internet age.

Also, it's a great flick about a bum and an ivy league brat trade places and stations in life.

Fun ride, and now you don't have to worry about breaking the tape.

A long time family favorite

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

As a child, my family would load up the conversion van (1982 Chevy van with shag carpet on the walls...and cieling) with the family TV and VCR and head to Colorado to go skiing. Three movies ran almost continuously for the entire 12 hour car trip. Fletch, Spies Like Us and Trading Places. We watched these movies so many times that my father would turn off the audio and recite the dialogue while driving.

Trading Places, though has some 1980's memorabilia, is a timeless movie. The plot is as poignant (and funny) as it was when it originally released. The casting is superb - Don Ameche is a definite stand out! If never you've seen this movie, it is a classic. Shoot, it was even referenced in the Kingsman movie.

A staple of any collection and foundation of modern movie making and story telling.

Excellent 1980s comedy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Great comedy from the early 1980s about a poor but smart street hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) and a rich, entitled stock broker Louis Winthorpe (Dan Ackroyd) who are made to swap lives, as part of an elaborate bet between two elderly amoral (Duke) brothers, who own the brokerage firm at which Ackroyd works. When they realise they have both been the victims of a private bet, Valentine and Winthorpe join forces to take revenge.......
It has a great cast, which also includes Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche (as the Duke brothers), Denholm Elliot (as the Butler) the fabulous Jamie Lee Curtis, playing Ackroyd's kind-hearted saviour.

Really good fun.

Great film with plenty of laughs, Randolph & Mortimer decide to have a little wager to see if they can exchange the lives of 2 people one being their employee Windthorpe and the other being tramp Billy Ray. As their plan comes into action there are plenty of mishaps alng the way with Windthorpe being snubbed by all but Opheilia played by Jamie Lee Curtis who plays a hooker and takes pity on him by taking him in as he promises to pay her back with interest if she helps him to discover who is behind his downfall, Billy Ray on the other hand has a new luxury lifestyle and and the 2 eventually comes face to face they realise they have been set up by the old brothers and the bet turns out to be for $1 as to which Billy Ray overhears them discussing, so this comes to a well deserving showdown and by the end of the film Windthorpe and Billy Ray along with Ophelia and Coleman the butler have their revenge on the 2 Randolph&Mortimer. Great film.

absolute classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

quite simply one of the funniest films of all time, nothing these days comes close to this but that shows the lack of creativity in the world of conveyor belt "comedies" these days. good transfer to Blu-ray, vast improvement in sound and clarity of colours. "feeling good" ? you will after watching this. they don't make them like they used to and that saying is extremely relevant when comparing this to dross involving will Ferrell, adam sandler etc etc. thank god for the 80's and it's choice of films, particularly comedies !
