I could believe that; I was born three years after the film came out, so I am less familiar with that sort of context.
I haven't seen it in a while, but Wikipedia's plot summary says:
> The group deliver the forged report to the Dukes in Beeks' place.
I think they like meet him in a parking lot and it's dark so they can't tell it's not him?
Maybe this is a good excuse to watch the movie again sometime soon.
- jedberg 3y agoRight, they pretend to be Beeks to deliver their fake copy of the report to the Dukes. But that still leaves the question of who delivered the real copy to the USDA, which they read live on the air, and which they were expecting to be delivered by Beeks.
- steveklabnik 3y agoAh, fair. A good question!
- justin66 3y agoThis is going to haunt me. I recently discovered a major plot hole in Fletch (I know) and now this is going to bother me too.
- justin66 3y ago> Maybe this is a good excuse to watch the movie again sometime soon. I feel the same way. I'm happy I managed to provoke such a conversation. If because of this, just one person interrupted their work so they could stream Trading Places, well... perhaps we've made the world a better place. Ahem. edit: and I for some reason feel delighted that my post turned into one of those controversial ones that gets upvoted and downvoted multiple times for no apparent reason. Dan Aykroyd's greatness should provoke controversy. Is he merely great, or the greatest?
