She was hot back in the 80s (and even 90s with the striptease in True Lies) and it was a big deal for her to show her breasts, especially since it was just a throwaway boob shot like so many 80s movies had.
But yeah, I'm honestly surprised channels like TBS still show this movie. The blackface alone is enough to get it "cancelled" now.
Interesting trivia, I have a stockbroker license and some of the rules are informally called the "Eddie Murphy rules" due to the insider trading stuff they did in the movie.

This was such a great movie. But you're right, they wouldn't even think about making this movie in 2020.

good movie but yeah it has it's flaws.
i recall one joke was "lol the bad guy is going to be raped by a gorilla while he's in a gorilla suit". yeah they don't write comedy like that anymore.

Ah, the evergreen "Can you remember the first time you saw Jamie Lee Curtis' front bumpers" film. Bloody classic.
I like bit where The Breakfast Club's sworn enemy gets it up the shitter from the sexually frustrated gorilla.

It's a movie that would trigger any sensitive snowflake today. Our main badguys are a couple of aging rich white men, but our 'heroes' are not much better and use insider information to ruin said white guys and get rich themselves.
Throw in some very politically incorrect jokes like the aforementioned blackface:
... and what you get is an 80's comedy classic. Anyone who doesn't get a laugh from this film is a humorless SJW.
Critics always point out the gorilla as the glaring weak point in the film. I think they're crazy. I thought the gorilla was hilarious.
Really dude?

Imagine being Arnold in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Jamie Curtis, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Arnold and not only sit in that chair while Jamie Lee Curtis flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that dance. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on set tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, JAMIE LEE CURTIS LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of blondes and supermodels and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Austria. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Arnold. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Did you see that maid that Arnold cheated on Maria Shriver with? He doesn't care about looks.

One of the best Christmas movies, shit, just one of the best comedies period.
The appearance of the Duke brothers in Coming to America is so good, actually, I bet even Coming to America would get in trouble now just for stereotypes like SoulGlo and because it was written by white people.
But really, what comedies these days are any good? The last comedy film I liked a lot was probably The Hangover. You can't do shit anymore without people getting all worked up. There is nothing comparable today to the classics from back then, nothing.

When you start pounding on the level that Arnold was at. Looks play a factor, but the effort is what's most appreciated.

You should rewatch Crank High Voltage, I doubt that could pass current SJW standards either with how minorities and women are portrayed.

I agree with this.
I remember reading a rumor, this was way back when the illCommunity on AllHipHop was at its peak. The rumor was that P Diddy loved to suck dick. What had led to it was that he used to be able to get any girl he wanted because of his fame, then he would get several girls at once, and they would do anything for him and so on. It got to a point where it just wasn't enough anymore so he started blowing dudes and what not to feel something new and exciting.
There was a wresting documentary, I can't remember what it was called but Jake the Snake talked about banging 10 women at once because he had the same problems, getting any woman he wanted, to threesomes to suddenly needing more and more just to get an erection.

I think almost any movie, especially comedies from before 2010 would be problematic for Gen Z.

I couldn't find a complete clip online, but for those of you havent seen it, there's one scene where Murphy is in a hot tub, the two old guys are outside the room calling Black people musical kinds of people. Then they walk in while Eddie Murphy is bathing and he calls the old guys a couple of gays.
LOL.
