Trading Places on the Train

[AdultManBaby]

What is with the flying berries?

[HotEntrepreneur]

My mind just went to so many ballroom scene songs.

[nexuspexus]

Great scene shame you missed some of the first line. Whenever I get on a train I like to say "I certainly hope there's enough space on the train for me" in a bad Jamaican accent.

gtfoh lol

[xAlWaYzXcUnTiix]

I love that a lot of gay people "live for" the song, "the ha dance", by masters at work, but none of them know this is where the beat came from... Lol

[tangypasta]

what movie?

[gman1868]

@tangypasta Trading Places

[edlitz36]

I met Dan Aykroyd at a liquor store in Allentown, PA earlier today (6-30-2011). He was promoting his line of "Crystal Head" vodka. When I met him, the poor guy must have heard over 500 references to either Ghostbusters and Blues Brothers from rabid fans. So, I referenced this scene as I approached him. I told him I was pleased to meet the famous Lionel Joseph. He was very taken aback to hear such an obscure film reference. He responded, "Ay Man!" in a Rastafarian accent. It was awesome.

[gman1868]

@edlitz36 That is simply... awesome :)

[edlitz36]

@gman1868 Here's a video of his Allentown appearence (not mine): watch?v=g9STi6vJpyE

I have a couple videos of the event on my camera, as well. One of me waiting in line to see him (there's a clear view of him at his table). The other video is of another guy's Ecto-1 Ghostbusters wagon, it was in the parking lot of the liquor store. There's also someone else's video of that here: watch?v=OSZLDaIWkBY&feature=re­lated

I'll upload them as soon as I can.

@edlitz36

I was gonna say "cool story, bro.".... but that was actually a pretty cool story. Thanks for sharing.

[eser1rok]

@edlitz36 dope!!

[UppsalaBaronen]

@edlitz36 Epic story bro. Very clever of you! I love this scene, and I bet he did too! :D

[bbmcrae]

@edlitz36 That's fantastic. Good for you!

[yodigo]

@DAVD1986 well i liked a lot the pluto nash movie

[larrytimtams]

I wonder if Harry Connick Jr is offended from this scene (i.e. "Hey Hey It's Saturday" appearance). "This wouldn't happen in America".......IDIOT...This is a great movie.

[suroj]

ahh there is no audio dan say "space", thats what i wanted to hear

[blueblade455]

It's amazing how I was looking up videos for the new Wonder Woman and came across this classic clip. One of my most favorite movies ever!

[davd1986]

What the heck happened to Eddie? Since Beverly Hills Cop, his movies have gotten worse! When was his last 'decent' movie!?

[gman1868]

@davd1986 He has kids, so it seems he does movies kids can watch.

[apologyisnothepolicy]

@davd1986

Since he was caught with a tranny in the 90's he doensn't make adult/funny films anymore

[FunFacta]

LMAO

[jview2007]

OH MY GOSH THIS IS WHERE THAT SAMPLE FROM THE "HA DANCE" CAME FROM????? lolol I love it!

[bluetoaster8822]

Trading Places and Coming to America are 2 of my favorite movies of all-time.

[kajmal]

@iamaladycanyousaveme It wasn't meant to be an all-inclusive list of personnel involved in film making. I was making a point. A lost point, I guess.

[goofygoat2009]

ackroyd's bad black man makeup is so bad it's hysterical.

[mikeygeneral]

Bloodclaat - LMAO ; )

[dmspangler44]

LMAO @ Eddie's face when Akroyd first calls him Nenge.

[lexdiggy]

@dmspangler44 yeah thats a classic dumbfounded look...Haile Selassie Pavillion....rofl

[LexingtonWells]

haha Mortimer and Randolph Duke were awesome lol

[lydmantheincredible]

Merry New year!  I LOVE this movie!

[nudist0885]

Except that Eddie Murphy said that his name is Nanja Eboko. Not Nenge. Nanja. Not Mboko. Eboko.

[gman1868]

@nudist0885 You may be correct, but IMDB says otherwise /title/tt0086465/quotes

[OrionSyndicate]

@nudist0885 He does say Nenge Mboko as well, just he pronounced it different. BEST SCENE EVER.

Boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, hah! Boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, hah!

@Sarge679

Lol....."There's plenty you know"

[kajmal]

@iamaladycanyousaveme So, actors don't make movies? Only directors, producers, key grips, best boys and cameramen?

[yozzieuk]

I'm lynel Joseph they copied me mojo seen star. Lol

[LeandroJesskint]

Soooo terribly funny!

[679hot]

iam white and my dear friend yohan is black.for years we have done this seen every time we see eatch other.and we send christmas cards saying to lionel joseph and ningy umboco. merry christmas my dear brother.

[jamesellis33]

@679hot  thats the funniest thing i've ever heard.XD

[bluscorpion]

too funny. I just learned a song was made out of that chant. It's called the Ha Dance

[bluscorpion]

too funny. I just learned a song was made out of that chant.

[AFRIKTODAY]

I am originally from Cameroon and I find this video hilarious. Uno, Nanga-Eboko is an ethnic group, secundo, they certainly do not dress up like that traditionally. But, well it is just a movie right! Lol.

[naijabebe]

i wish someone would upload the full movie.... :oD

[OtakuJyasuten]

How the hell can people not like this?

[bryancorolla]

OMG this is the basis for the ha dance... bka the legendary ha!!!! omg this is history

[alcoholharmony]

@bryancorolla WRIGHT!!!! I NEVER Knew That until now!!! lmao!!!!

[pitoforty]

Its amazing how this was made into a house song....its called the "The Ha dance" from Masters at Work!

[oleskool61]

I can still sit down and watch this movie and get a big laugh out of it. At the beginning of the movie when Eddie says Billy Ray Valentine "Capricorn" and this part on the trains still cracks me up after all these years.

[1Catherine101]

Lionel Joseph!! hahaha.... just love them! I love this movie.. my ever favorite ONE! :)

[judyebony07]

idk if any of you know it but the part @ 23 seconds that is apart of the traditional music that we vouge off of and has been the song called The HA By Masters At Work

[WilliamRowlett]

@Doug19752533 I guess the guy who gave the name "Lionel Joseph" was a "stupid f*#$er" or is it me for telling the story? I defended the "Lionel Joseph" guy later in a jury trial & we got a "not guilty" jury verdict. The jury told us afterward the trial was actually as funny as the movie.

[gman1868]

Had to take the f-bomb out

[Doug19752533]

@WilliamRowlett lol i meant the guy who smarted off to the cop - didnt mean anything towards you. while it is funny as hell someone would do that, cops dont have much of a sense of humor lol

[AriesTRam]

@WilliamRowlett Guess the cop never saw "Trading Places." Poor deprived flatfoot! LOL!

[Almin97]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!! SO FUNNY !! I LOVE EDDIE!!

[Scaramanga76]

Love it!

[sterkfontaine]

Dan Akroyd in black face! God damn and nobody said a thing, cause its Dan Akroyd!

[AMOVIEROOM]

@sterkfontaine Nah, the studio was like NO! But Ed said leave it in and it stayed.

[tiejesto]

NANGA EBOKO!!!

[navarronbret15]

LOL they made a song from that chant called the ha dance... Its hot, ppl that vogue gets their life of that.

[themachman19691]

absolutely brilliant!if only they made funny films like this now.

[BeyondLame]

Eddie needs to make more movies like this

[garweh77]

I love the movie and especially this scene... I watched the movie x-times and everytime I'm peeing in my pants laughing! :-)

[dealerovski82]

the guy to the left is not a real african american, hes a white dude

[gman1868]

It's Dan Akroyd.

[thagingerbreadman]

IM MAD U ANSWERED HIM!!!

[AFORCER]

[toxic2k7]

[DanMan770]

[Rozq87]

[GP1583]

[dealerovski82]

@GP1583 I have stopped trolling on youtube since 1 year back.

[Steph0x0x]

@dealerovski82 No Shit.

[DH2020]

Epic Scene!!

[wintersnowboard]

this movie never gets old especially the scenes on the train

[felsner1]

You gotta love Clarence Beek's look at around 00:01: "When does this stop?!"

[chapmasi]

NINGEY! Ningey Umbocco!

[irishcatholicladdie]

[suckerdwsp316]

YESSSSSSS!!!!! hahaha classic !!!!!

[fenderboy88]

Man whats the deal with eddie murphy now,trying to play good daddys and trying to appeal to the pg13 crowd,he actually looks ''uncomfortable'' playing htose roles,i miss the eddie murphy with the sharp tongue and comic wit in the 80s,i spose people eventually lose thier edge

[nognilk]

It's because he's a father now and wants to make films his kids can see.

But don't worry, once his second youngest turn 21 Eddie will be back...Red Foxx style.

[Scientific1]

About the only time I've found blackface hilarious. Now, at the beginning of the film, could you imagine Aykroyd's character doing this?

[WilliamRowlett]

I know a guy who was going to a Halloween party several years ago dressed as "Lionel Joseph". He got stopped by a cop on the way who asked what his name was and he answered, "Lionel Joseph". You can guess what happened next. He told the cop he was joking; that his real name was "John Smith" but it was too late. He went to jail for giving a false name to a police officer. I guess the cop saved him from getting a DWI later that night.

[gman1868]

Classic... I'm Lionel Joseph! Hehehehe

Talk about a cop with no sense of humor.

[WilliamRowlett]

The rest of the story ... "Lionel" hired me, I said to the prosecutor "We want a jury trial." On day of trial, the DA dismissed. I guess they didn't want a jury to see law enforcement at its most absurd. Still, I'll always love Lionel Joseph.

[Scaramanga76]

That cop sucks cock! If thats happen'ds here in Sweden we're killed that pice of shit!

[gimmybackmybrains]

well at least he didn't say "Your Mother".

[crazyhustlin]
