Trading Places [4K UHD]

Classic Murphy, classic Aykroyd. Enough said.

First - the bad. The cover art is the same as on previous BD's. The menu art is the same - but not 4K, let alone HD quality. I guess they slapped this together quickly.Aside from that, on a Hinsense U8K in Dolby Vision - this looks GREAT! I cannot vouch for other TV's that may not get as bright or as black, but this TV cuts through HDR and Dolby Vision like nothing! Brightness is never a problem on this TV.Anyhow... Everything is CLEAN, clear, film-like - yet 4K. There is a warmer tone to it, but the picture is bright, detailed with just even crispness, and colors are clearly delineated. As you SHOULD expect with 4K on older titles, this is one of those NEAR "time has stood still" 4K releases, where the old technology looks new and the snow looks so strong and dimensional that you could picture yourself there.You now notice how Dan Aykroyd's hair is intricately styled as well has the fine details on his shirt. The high-class homes and items look even fancier and distinct. You could ask for more from the picture, but you won't need to. Colors are strong - but natural and distinct to whatever they are. The picture is nearly perfect.This film never gets old or boring. I like how it starts off with arrogant, selfish, spoiled, stingy, greedy, over spending on things they don't need but not wanting to give the poor a dime - rich people! Here where I live in this NY, NJ, CT area - that is EXACTLY how they act - even those on a lower scale than the Dukes and Winthrop! They are phony in public and arrogant and spoiled brats behind closed doors - and CHEAP too!I love how it slowly transitions to the poor (Murphy) becoming rich and arrogant, and the rich (Aykroyd) becoming desperate and depressed (like real life) to show the two opposite sides of life in the US. Then they meet in the middle. This is a timeless classic and arguably Eddie Murphy's best.I must have triple dipped on this, but 4K SHOULD be the last format for this, because 8K is an unnecessary gimmick. I am glad that I got this at the right price!

my b/f loved it.....good quality film

I love that movie

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.

This movie is entertaining from the very beginning it catches your attention and continues to build on the comedic performances from there. The ending is a given but the twist that the three actors put into the making of the movie was fantastic! No, I am not going to be a spoiler and let you know. Purchase the dvd, sit down with a snack and drink, and be prepared to be thoroughly impressed from beginning to the end!

Excellent he loved it

Hilarious movie!

I have in vhs and dvd. Too many dvds to look through and couldn’t find so I bought another. I do it all the time, lol. Downside of work/camping life with limited or no data. I love this show

Love this film

Ce film est génial, il possède un humour très caustique, car les situations respectives de Dan AYKROYD et d' Eddie MURPHY sont poussées à leur paroxysme. On ne s'ennuie pas une seconde, à voir et à revoir. Ce BR est toutes régions, vous pouvez le voir en VO avec sous titres Français ou en vrai Français (non québecois), de plus l'image est superbe.

Excellent

Für mich ein Evergreen!Schaue ich mir alle Jahre wieder an.
