Eddie Murphy was the funniest man on the planet in the 1980s. Everything he was in was box office gold! Coming to America was and still is a comedic masterpiece. But if you really want to see his absolute magnum opus, then you all must see Beverly Hills Cop, considered by many to be his all time greatest role and one of my all time favourite films too. You’d all love it!

28:36 - By the way, the two old homeless men that Hakeem gave the big wad of pocket cash to, were characters from another Eddie Murphy film that came out before Coming to America, titled, "Trading Places", which also stars Dan Ackroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis. This scene in the movie was a hilarious little nod to that other film. You would have had to see that movie to really get the joke.

Eddie Murphy as the old Jewish guy Saul is one of my favorite roles ever. The eyes give it away a little bit, but only if you're really looking for it. Just great. Eddie totally played the character, the voice, everything. And with makeup by the great Rick Baker- with whom Eddie would work on many projects to come.

And Mushu from Mulan

Both actors playing the King and Queen in this film, James Earl Jones (King Joffe) and Madge Sinclair (Queen Aoleon), later went on to play King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi in The Lion King. Madge Sinclair sadly passed away a year after The Lion Kings release.

35:17 "...I shall deal with him myself." A line that might have reminded our Homies of a certain other movie they've seen - from a galaxy far, far away - if only that rich baritone voice of James Earl Jones had sounded familiar enough! Virtuoso performances from Eddie Murphy (and strong supporting cast) really do make this a great movie of the 1980s - and there's more!

And prior to that, John Amos, who plays the father, and Madge Sinclair starred together in the 1977 tv mini series “Roots”. Amos played the adult Kunta Kinte and Sinclair played the woman he marries. That’s why they probably had that strange look at each other at the end after the wedding.

The two homeless guys were in a movie with Eddie Murphy called Trading Places, where they were rich and Eddie Murphy scammed his way into their life and they ended up broke, that’s why he said “we’re back”

Trading Places and Coming to America need to be watched back to back. Incredible films.

Daddy Day Care is a childhood favourite of mine. Not one of Eddie's classics but a fun family film. Recommended.

33:23 "They're like the hyenas from The Lion King." Well, the man who portrays the King here was also the voice of the King there (Mufasa), so I guess that makes sense!

35:15 "Do not alert him to my presence. I shall deal with him myself." (cue Imperial March)

Fun fact: Eddie Murphy is also singing the Soul Glo song. Also, wasn’t sure if you recognize Samuel L. Jackson as the robber. And a very little know casting is the taxi driver is Jake Steinfeld who is actress Hailee Steinfeld’s (Hawkeye, Pitch Perfect, True Grit) uncle.

There is a Coming 2 America that came out two years ago. The sequel to this. All the main and almost all the supporting cast returned as well.

That Soul Glow commercial is awesome. 😂

Trading Places is another classic

I loved the 80s.....good movies....eddie had a great run of movies. Beverly hills cop 1 and 2 , trading places, this movie.....

"48 HOURS" is the GREATEST Eddie Murphy movie of ALL-TIME

Let's take a donation and send these girls some Soul Glo! 🎶 Just let your soul glooooooo🎶

Half the cast are either Eddie or Anrsenio. Eddie plays the white guy in the barber shop as well as a barber. You could do Beverley Hills Cop 1 & 2. They are amazing fun.

So many people cut out one of my favorite jokes. "That boy's good." "Mhm. Good and terrible."

You´ll get the joke in the scene at 28:30 much better if you´ve watched "trading places", trust me 😉

beautiful film. i wish they still made movies like this

“Is this a private plane” A single line that reveals so much…

Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall both play several characters. Eddie Murphy played Prince Akeem, the barber, the old white Jewish man, and Randy Watson. Arsenio Hall played Semmi, the extremely ugly woman, the old black man in the barber shop and the minister.

Hello Ellie, Michelle, & the gorgeous Lia looking fine in black!🙂Great reactions to this classic 80s comedy, Ladies!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Could you imagine if the Homies watched Eddie Murphy‘s stand up comedy. Delirious or Raw. now that would be one. Funny reaction.

If you haven't watched Trading Places with Eddie Murphy, you should do that next. The 2 old guys that Eddie gave the pocket change were part of that movie, makes that scene funny when you've seen Trading Places

This is such a GREAT movie. LOVE IT!

movie with Eddy Murphy nice are : trading places , the Nutty professor, the Distinguished gentleman and Beverly hills cop trilogy...
