Product Description:
Paramount Trading Places: Looking Good, Feeling Good Edition (Blu-ray)
The fun begins when the rich and greedy Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) wager a bet over whether born loser Valentine (Eddie Murphy) could become as successful as the priggish Winthorpe (Dan Akroyd) if circumstances were reversed. The Dukes have the money to make this happen, but when Valentine and Winthorpe catch on they arrange for a rich and riotous payback!
Amazon.com essential video:
In this crowd-pleasing 1983 comedy of high finance about a homeless con artist who becomes a Wall Street robber baron, Eddie Murphy consolidated the success of his startling debut in the previous year's 48 Hours and polished his slick-winner persona. The turnabout begins with an argument between super-rich siblings, played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche: Are captains of industry, they wonder, born or made? To settle the issue, the meanies construct a cruel experiment in social Darwinism. Preppie commodities trader Dan Aykroyd (perfectly cast) is stripped of all his worldly goods and expelled from the firm, and Murphy's smelly derelict is appointed to take his place, graduating to tailored suits and a world-class harem in record time. Eventually the two men team up to teach the nasty old manipulators a lesson, cornering the market in frozen orange juice futures in the process. Director John Landis (The Blues Brothers) doesn't have the world's lightest touch, but he hits most of the jokes hard and quite a few of them pay off. Trading Places is also a landmark film for fans of Jamie Lee Curtis. --David Chute

Aside from this being one of the greatest movies of all time, the special collector's edition has some really cool special features. My husband and I really enjoyed the piece about the costuming done for the movie and the piece on the futures trade is excellent! It made our favorite movie even more interesting!

This film is the absolute best comedy ever! It may not be the funniest (that probably goes to Tommy Boy - also with Dan Ackroyd - hmm - the burning model car scene makes me laugh until I cry just thinking about it), but for laughs and satisfaction it doesn't get any better. I defy viewers to stop themselves from grinning when Billy Ray explains to the Dukes how Winthorp could "do this to us after all that we've done for you"! The villains are developed admirably and then knocked down in MORE than ... Read More
