What's left behind the scenes

  • In 2010, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regulating the provision of financial services, included a rule prohibiting the use of insider information. This is roughly what the Duke brothers were attempting in the film. The rule was inspired by the film and unofficially became known as the 'Eddie Murphy rule'.
  • Jamie Lee Curtis simply couldn't manage to speak with an Austrian accent.
  • Eddie Murphy later admitted that in the final scene of the film, when his character is on the stock exchange floor, he simply followed the script without having the slightest idea of what was going on around him. The workings of the stock exchange were beyond his understanding.
  • Wintrop tells Valentine upon arriving at the World Trade Center: "In this building, you either kill or are killed." After 2001, some television distributors removed this line from the film in memory of those who died in the collapse of the Twin Towers.
  • Filming took place inside the New York Mercantile Exchange, where real brokers carried out their duties alongside extras. Initially, filming there was scheduled for a weekday, but the arrival of Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy caused such a commotion among the brokers that work came to a standstill. Filming had to be moved to the weekend.
  • The men's club "borrowed" its exterior appearance from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.
  • The building in which Duke & Duke Commodities Brokers is located in the film is on South Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since February 2014, it has been occupied by Wells Fargo Bank.
  • Don Ameche's religious beliefs prevented the actor from using profanity. At the end of the film, where his character utters something unprintable directed at representatives of Wall Street, it was impossible to avoid swearing. The scene had to be filmed in one take, as Ameche had warned beforehand that he would not reshoot it.
  • When Valentine is asked about wheat in the restaurant, everyone falls silent to hear his answer. This is a reference to a series of E.F. Hutton brokerage firm commercials from the 1980s, whose slogan was "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen."
  • Since December 24, 1997, the film has been regularly broadcast on Italian television on Christmas Eve: it has become a Christmas classic for that country.
  • In 2010, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regulating the provision of financial services, included a rule prohibiting the use of insider information. This is roughly what the Duke brothers were trying to do in the film. This rule came about due to the film and unofficially became known as the “Eddie Murphy rule.”
