I’m going to assume that if you’re reading thread then you have probably seen I know what the movie Trading Places is about. It’s an 80s comedy movie which stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. Anyway I just finished reading an article that talks about certain facts from the movie. One interesting fact about the movie is that originally Trading palaces was written for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor but Pryor set himself on fire so that was that. Another interesting fact is Aykroyd and Murphy caused billions of dollars in trading to grind to a halt lol.

I always liked that movie. I can’t imagine any other actors playing those roles. Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy were made for those roles.
