What our customer's say!

"Better than expected visuals, but a tin ear", I've always liked this movie and remember it as a pleasant surprise when I first saw it in theaters. It features a standout performance by Eddie Murphy (before he became a star in Beverly Hills Cop), a surprising career saver by Dan Aykroyd, and with a brief topless scene changed the public perception of Jamie Lee Curtis from scream queen to sex goddess. All this while skewering American classism.

As far as the blu-ray specifics go the video, while not spectacular, features a substantial improvement over the standard DVD. The real problem here appears to be the film itself which, frankly, looks more like it was shot as a TV movie-of-the-week. The print has really been cleaned up, removing all the scratches, dirt and hair that plagued my previous DVD. Thankfully there is no evidence of the rampant DNR or edge enhancement that detract from so many older catalog titles. Overall a solid hi-def upgrade.

On the audio front you get a Dolby Digital 5.1 remaster that sounds both dated and flat. While this is a dialog heavy film, even the classic R&B tunes in the soundtrack sound both tinny and lacking in low-end. Even though it's 5.1 it sounds just like stereo.

As far as suppliments go, you get an upgrade from the previous DVD (which had almost nothing) to a set that is still pretty bare bones overall.

Trading Places still holds up as one of the better comedies from its time period. Its class battle is still relevant, its got a fun cast, and big laughs come regularly throughout the film. All in all it is a fairly solid Blu-ray reissue. While the video is better than expected, the audio is really lacking.

Normally I'd suggest a rental unless you're an avid fan of the film. But at $8.88 here on Amazon if you like the movie at all you should just pick it up.

"AWESOME transfer to Blu-ray!!! YAH!", What is there to say about this movie, except that its a CLASSIC! ~ YAH!However, the fact that this movie has been around since the 80's caused me to be wary about purchasing it on blu-ray. Unfortunately, the clarity of some blu-ray discs aren't a whole lot better than standard DVD, so I was hoping for a good transfer, but not expecting great quality. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Other than the datedness of the time period the movie was made, the movie itself looks as clear as if it were filmed in HD itself. "LOOKING GOOD BILLY RAY!" and I'm definitely "FEELING GOOD" about my purchase.

"Classic movie gets high def release packed with special features", This review is for the Blu-Ray release of the 1983 comedy classic "Trading Places." If you have not seen this movie yet then you really are missing out and what better way to experience this movie than in 1080p high definition.
I already owned the bare bones DVD release, but did not hesitate to order the Blu-Ray release. The quality is truly incredible with a level of detail that simply blows me awaqy and none of the grain or softness that plagues the inferior DVD version.
Plus we are treated to a wealth of special features to help sweeten the deal. The main special feature is the retrospective featurette "Insider Trading: The Making of Trading Places" which runs at 18:28 and includes on-camera interviews with Eddie Murphy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Aykroyd and Director John Landis. Tne featurette covers the genesis of the story and the preproduction details (Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were originally slated to star) and how the success of "48 Hrs" brought Murphy to the attention of the producing team.
Serving as a counterpoint is the second featurette "Trading Stories" which runs at 7:59. The same people are interviewed on camera as in the first docimentary however in this instance they are all from 1983 as they publicize the movies release.
There is one deleted scene running over a minute with an introduction and optional commentary by Executive Producer George Folsey Jr. It details the theft of the crop report by Clarence Beeks and was essentially dropped for pacing reasons.
Next up is "Dressing the Part" which runs at 6:31 and has as its main contributor Costume Designer Deborah Nadoolman. She says that the outfit she is most proud of is the red hooded sweatshirt worn by Eddie Murphy in his first scene. She had Murphy in the bright red outfit and everyone else in shades of gray so as to ensure that Murphy drew the focus of attention.
Since a large portion of the movie deals with the commodities trade the Blu-Ray also includes "The Trade in Trading Places" which includes discussion on the commodities exchange and how it works and runs at 5:25.
Perhaps the most quirky special feature is an improvised promo piece for the movie that apparently has spent the last 20+ years sitting in John Landis' garage. It features Aykroyd and Murphy winging it for 4 minutes and it is a riot once they get going.
The one feature this Blu-Ray release is missing is an commentary but the movie does have a Trivia Pop-Up feature. Throughout the movie sometimes interesting, but ultimately useless trivia appears on panels on screen mocked up as (what else) $1 bills.
All in all this is an extremely entertaining way to spend a couple of hours and this Blu-Ray release does the movie proud.

"The BEST SNL Alumni movie EVER!!!", There is NO argument! This is THE BEST SNL ALUMNI MOVIE EVER!!! Not only is it FUNNY, but it's also intelligent. This is one of those movies that you just have to watch every time it's on tv even though it is cut horribly for tv.

DVD or Blu-ray is THE way to watch this movie in all of it's glory. In fact, it's become a 'Christmas' movie at out house. I have literally watched this movie and then gone back and watched it again. THAT'S how GREAT this movie is!

"EDDIE MURPHY IS FUNNY!!", I GOT TWO WORDS FUNNY AND CRAZY! OR IS THAT THREE NO TWO?
YOU FIGURE IT OUT LOL!

"Great DVD Edition", I loved this edition of very funny and involved movie. The extras are very nice and very informative. The segment on the trading center was pretty good, although I'd hoped the director should have mentioned the fact that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange was approached for a location shoot, but turned the studio down because it didn't want any disruptions for its daily operation. That is why NYMEX was chosen. Also, there should have been a tribute to Aaron Russo who produced the film.

"Details of the rerelease of the Blu-ray edition due out June 3rd, 2008", The Blu-ray "Looking Good, Feeling Good" Edition of Trading Places, which has been unavailable, is being rereleased. It appears to be the very same as before, with the same specs and special features.

The plot of this comedy revolves around a wager between two very rich brothers over nature vs nurture, and specifically whether a rich, successful man and a poor man, if their fortunes were reversed (by "nurture"), would return to their former places because of their nature. To find out, they wreck the career and life of one of the most successful employees in their commodities trading firm (Dan Aykroyd), and take in a street hustler (Eddie Murphy) to train to take his place. (Thus the double meaning of the title.) While this obviously isn't a sociological study, some of the humor and pathos comes from pointing out ways attitudes are shaped by position, and changes in position. It's also a romance, with Jamie Lee Curtis playing the hooker with a heart of gold who falls for the fallen man. And it's a tale of sweet, poetic justice.

Murphy was still fresh in this 1983 film, and Aykroyd and Curtis are also very fun. The script is clever and maintains its logic, in its funny way.

The special features:

-- "Insider Trading: The Making of Trading Places" featurette (18:27)
-- "Trading Stories" featurette, interviews with the three main players (7:58)
-- "Dressing the Part" featurette (6:30)
-- "The Trade in Trading Places" featurette, on how the commodities trading in the movie works (5:24)
-- Industry Promotional Piece, which was used to pitch the movie to theaters (4:17)
-- trivia pop-ups, a running trivia option
-- deleted scene: stealing the crop report, with optional commentary by executive producer George Folsey, Jr. (1:36)

No commentaries.

Specs: 1.85:1 widescreen transfer (1080p), Dolby Digital Plus 5.1, Dolby Digital Mono, subtitles in English, French, and Spanish.

The video quality is quite good for a film that wasn't intended to be a visual masterpiece, improved over the standard DVD, with a clean print, fair detail and good color. The surround mix doesn't surround much, but it's clear enough, with good punch for the soundtrack.

I'd give this four and a half stars, but round down for the lack of audio commentaries, which ought to be standard in special editions.

"What about Aaron?", Amazon has forgotten to mention the great, passed on Aaron Russo who produced this movie. We'll miss you.

"HD DVD looks amazing", This HD DVD version looks amazing. It's not a slick, highly detailed action flick. But, this HD image is smooth, sharp, and film-like. Worth the great price Amazon is selling this movie at right now to see this looking like it did in theaters on day one from a pristine print.

"Two Stars at Their Best", This is an old movie but worth watching over and over. In my opinion, there was great chemistry between Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykyoid. This movie still ranks up there compared to some of the recent inane movies they have done lately. There is a great story as well as an excellent plot. All the supporting cast were a perfect match for the main actors.
