It has explicit female nudity, very coarse language ("f-k", "s-t," "goddamn," and more), and plenty of drug and alcohol use and references, including PCP, cocaine, and quaaludes. Parents need to know that Trading Places is a 1980s comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. A character dressed as Santa gets stumbling drunk and crashes a party.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide. Drugs are planted on various characters, including a bag of PCP, Valium, quaaludes, and marijuana (all briefly visible). Main character hides in a bathroom to smoke a joint. And Ophelia falls into the "hooker with a heart of gold" cliché, taking care of Winthorpe in a motherly but sexualized role.Ĭharacters drink whiskey and smoke cigarettes and cigars. Valentine harasses a woman on the street, grabbing her coat as he hits on her when she finally tears away, he calls out "bitch" (this is played for laughs). During a party, a man grabs a woman's breast as a come-on, then mauls her with his hands, and she just laughs. Women are objectified: They throw themselves at Valentine when it appears he has money, and appear topless for no reason. A party shows White guests wearing ethnic "costumes" like Native American regalia and a turban. Cringeworthy scenes involve blackface, purposefully bad accents (African, Jamaican, Irish, Swedish), an impression of Bruce Lee, homophobic comments (Valentine calls two men "f-gots"), and ableism (Valentine pretends to be a blind amputee war veteran while panhandling). Pokes fun at the ultra rich and champions the working class, even as it leans into stereotypes about poor people.
