One of the best Christmas movies to come out of the 1980s is Trading Places 1983. It is a comedy that throws Philly punches to the gut, in a time when art over ruled the modern day checklist of politically correct boxes that permeate modern movies as of 2020. It is vulgar, funny, and captures a certain Christmas magic in a bottle starring Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, and Jamie Lee Curtis in their prime.
The US flag appears several times in the movie. During the meeting at the club where Louis Winthrop III is cast out from the elite circles of high society. It also appears at the police station where we can see a balding Miss Piggy, Frank Oz, walking by a US flag and the bottom half of a US flag is visible behind a tree.
In the opening montage the US flag can be seen hanging off a building in front of Philadelphia's City Hall. However the marquee of the a low brow movie theater can be seen as well.
