This is one of Eddie's best films, but for some reason it is probably the one I see the least in regards to reaction videos. So thanks for showing this classic some love, it was one of the first VHS tapes my family bought back when they cost $70-$80 back in the day.

Eddies' first movie. Now I guess you've got to see "Another 48 Hrs..." Also Billy Bear was played by Sonny Landham, who also played Billy in "Predator"...

28:41 - This blonde is actress, Denise Crosby, who played the mother in the Stephen King horror film, "Pet Semetary" (1989). She's also one of the most popular female characters in the Star Trek universe, "Star Trek: The Next Generation", where she played security officer Lt. Tasha Yar.

34:20 - FYI, this parking lot attendant (Marcelino Sánchez) also starred in the movie, "The Warriors" (1979), alongside James Remar and David Patrick Kelly. That makes three people in this film who already acted together before in The Warriors. Sánchez unfortunately died very young at only the age of 28 (1986) from an AIDS related illness.

“Warriors come out to play.”

Great Reaction Ladies...... "Another 48 Hours" is a Great Watch...... (Some of this might have already been Commented).... This was Eddie's first movie and Nick Nolte was an established actor.... So Eddie had a Salary of $300,000 and Nick's Salary was $3,000,000.... In 1990 for "Another 48 Hours" Nick Nolte was on his was down/out as a actor so the Salarries were basically the flipped/opposite ratio.... Billy Bear was played by Sonny Landham who later plays Billy in the 1989 "Predator" James Remar and David Patrick Kelly were in the movie "The Warriors" a few years before this.... BTW - David Patrick Kelly is Charlie of the Cleaning Crew in the John Wick Franchise..... Annette O'Toole is most known for her role as Martha Kent in TV's "Smallville"

Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte team up again for the sequel, "Another 48 Hours". I like this movie because it's stylishly gritty. Not realistic, but stylish.

@ 5:21 Nick Nolte "...now what the hell more do you want from a guy?" Without missing a beat, "COMMITMENT" "A RELATIONSHIP"!! That was freaking hilarious! This movie showcased Eddie's acting chops, due to his chemistry with Nolte. Such a talent.

The show with the flexible woman was a show in the 80's called "Aerobicize" and was literally 1 hour each episode of a girl, sometimes a few, doing aerobics in these tiny outfits. Don't know exactly who it was aimed at, but as a young teen boy at the time it was my favorite show! LOL

Omg. Achara's "criminal tips" are great 😂😂😂😂😂 ****its funny watching Kristin's PC brain tryna understand the verbiage in these older movies.

Also in that film is David Patrick Kelly (Luther in this film) who plays a gang leader named, you got it, Luther. You may also recognize Kelly from John Wick as Charlie the cleaning guy. Sonny Landham (Billy) was also in The Warriors as unnamed cop, but was also in Predator as, you got it again, Billy.

Also The Long Riders, in which he cast brothers James and Stacy Keech as brothers Frank and Jesse James, and the Carradine brothers played the Younger brothers A truly unique Walter Hill film is Streets of Fire starring Michael Pare, which critics at the time called a Bruce Springsteen song come to life. Other great films of Hill's include Another 48Hrs, Brewsters Millions with Richard Pryor, and Crossroads with Ralph Machio.

This is the most underrated film of the 1980s

"How much money ya got left?" Professional? Girlfriend? Flip a coin.

I wish the entire scene where they roust the bar would have been shown. It's one of the best comedy scenes ever!

Nick Nolte was an 'A' List actor at this time. Catch him in CANNERY ROW (1982), DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS (1986), THREE FUGITIVES (1989), and the remake of CAPE FEAR (1991).

I love this movie. My mom played the hell outta that "Roxanne " song by "the police". She had her little freaky red light bulb lamp. She thinks i don't remember all that shit😂😂😂😂😂

It was around 1982 that I had just been given the keys to one of the many apartments I lived in over the years in Waikiki. However, what made this apartment truly special was that somehow, I was receiving bootlegged movies through the TV cable connection. My rental manager who showed me the apartment was already aware of the unexplained cable situation, but simply said to me, "Have fun with that". These were all recent movies, and I mean, you name the movie that came out around 1982, and I probably watched it at least 50 times. 48 Hours was one of them.

I'm grinning ear to ear at the end of this, so much fun watching this with you two!

Both of these movies are good. 3 Fugitives with Nick & Martin is a funny comedy that would be worth seeing.

FYI: 'The Boys are Back in Town' was by the band at Roman's, The Bus Boys, who also famously played the theme to... Ghostbusters

For real?!

I think this was Eddie Murphy's first movie role, so he didn't have the pull or star power to completely rewrite whole roles or write whole movies for himself. I think for this he took a dramatic role and made it more comedic and probably got to write alot of his own dialogue but later. in his career roles were written for him and he made his own movies where he could lean into his comedic persona. For example each of the Beverly Hills movies get more silly and more comedic, unfortunately in that case to the franchises detriment in my humble opinion. But without Eddie evolving we wouldn't have got some great but completely silly movies like Trading Places or later things like The Nutty Professor. Trading Places is one of my all time favourite movies, would love a reaction to that if you haven't already.

THE BUS BOYS also played a song in Ghostbusters "CLEANING UP THE TOWN"

This movie was such a huge hit that even the song "The boys are back" became a hit too!

Achara for the win!!! Recognizing that the score was Horner so early, very nice. If you look at his IMDB, you'll see SO MANY of these action films from the 80's. But, I think all of them were cash gigs because they are literally the same score over and over. Horner was such a thematic writer and also a bit on the spectrum, according to people that knew him, that I'd be this sort of score bored him. He wrote so many epic and legendary scores over his career, but one action score so good, they all put it in their film. HAHA

THANK YOU! I've been waiting on a reaction for this forever! Glad you all did it.

Before that he was a stand-up king and SNL virtuoso. In this his first movie he became a movie star. But - like with you - his biggest pull with wide audience was his comedic mastery, so that's what Hollywood wanted to build movies with him on. I think "The Golden Child" - while drawing from Thalia's pool heavily - also let him spread his wings a bit into Melpomene's garden. Even if Eddie doesn't show his full range there, it's still a great movie with the amazing Charles Dance and the talented (and gorgeous) Charlotte Lewis - should absolutely be on your to watch list.
