His standup routines were major hits as well. Several of his films like 48 hours and Beverly Hills Cop are worth reactions if you haven't seen them.

The third star of this movie is makeup artist Rick Baker. Eddie and Rick worked together many times after this (with varying results).

20:16 George is right. The quote is from Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet: Horatio says it to Hamlet (the Prince of Denmark) after Hamlet dies.

LOL, totally forgot that Vader reference "I will deal with them myself." And the fact that Mufasa was already a king wearing a lion shawl was a nice precursor to The Lion King. Simone's Tommy Wiseu was perfectly timed.

The throwback to Trading Places is one of my favorite moments.

When Simone pointed out how good Samuel L. Jackson is at yelling, it reminded me of The Chapelle Show commercial for Samuel Jackson beer. Someone asked him if he could please stop yelling and he responded ,"I'M NOT YELLING! THIS IS MY NATURAL TONE OF VOICE!"

22:00 Semmi's scream is so damn good! 😀 It's one of my favourite moments of the movie. 26:35 That was freaking perfect! 😆

Celebrity paradox: Akeem is nicknamed "Kunta Kinte," which is a character from Alex Haley's "Roots." The older version of Kunta (Toby) was played by John Amos, Mr. McDowell in this film.

"Coming To America" and "Trading Places" are my favorite Eddie Murphy movies. I wish you would have watched Trading Places first so you could recognize a short scene that connects the two movies.

When Darth Vader says Do not alert them to my presents. "I will deal with him myself'! Take me back every time.

Randolph and Mortimer were the two antagonists from the other Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places. 👍

"Zamunda forever!!!" I loved it when Akeem killed Thanos.

Hysterical classic! The McDowell's restaurant was actually a Wendy's for many years when I was growing up. It was on Queen's Blvd, right by the Queens Center Mall.

The funniest part is that Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall played multiple roles in this movie.

To get the Mortimer and Randolf Reference you have to watch "Trading Places"!!!

Fun fact: in the scene where the father gets back and forward to the door, he wasn't meant to slip, but the way the actor stayed in character, had the director to keep it for the final cut.

The song from the intro is actually a version of the song from the lion king (The lion sleeps tonight). The original is called Mbube, and was written by a South African. Murphy wanted a version of that song for the intro.

13:26 Seventies reference that missed you. 'Kunta Kinte' was the name of a character in 'Roots' a TV milestone series based on Alex Haleys book Roots: The saga of an American Family which traced his own family history back to the African slaves - hence the reference to Akeem. Roots was very good, if uncomfortable viewing but it's generally accepted to be more fiction than fact about the authors own real family. Young Kunta was played by LeVar Burton of Star Trek fame and the older Kunta was played by - John Amos AKA Mr McDowell the restaurant owner !

The McDowell's was actually a Wendy's at the time so it was a real working fast food restaurant. After the movie, they had pictures up of the cast hung up around the place. Sadly, they tore it down a few years ago. You both definitely need to see Trading Places.

Such a beautiful piece of cinema history. Thanks you two for reacting to this.

Eddie Murphy and Arseno Hall played a dozen characters each, including everyone in the harbor shop And Randolph and Mortimer are characters in another Eddie Murphy movie called Trading Places.

Some good stars in this, both from that time and the future. When they first walked into the barber shop, the young man in the barber's chair was Cuba Gooding. Maurica, the chubby guy who worked at the restaurant, was Louie Anderson who was a pretty big comic at the time. The dad, Mr, McDowell played by John Amos who had his own TV show called "Good Times" and appeared in other successful shows back in those days. You saw that Eddie and Arsenio were others in the movie; both played 4 parts. Eddie not only was the barber but was the Jewish guy Saul in the shop too. And then he was the soul singer Randy Watson, doing a takeoff of sorts on James Brown, so total of 4 parts for him. Arsenio is also Morris, the other barber then Reverend Brown and also Baba, the grandfather. Good stuff!!

Trading Places is an excellent movie, Eddie Murphy's first big hit iirc (48 hours was his first movie, also quite good), bonus it's also a Christmas movie so should definitely be on your list, and will explain the randolph and mortimer scene (where he gives the money to the bums).

Great reaction. Just a quick point I wanted to make. Zamunda is supposed to be a country in the continent of Africa. Therefore, the United States seemed big to them compared to their country of Zamunda, not compared to the continent of Africa. Just a little FYI

A bit of history about Eddie with the old Jewish man costume, he was so convincing, he fooled a older Jewish woman and others that didn’t know it was him in costume ( Thank Rick Baker ) for his incredible costume designs . He also did King Kong 79’

They actually sown skateboards into the train so she could move. Also the choreography for the big dance scene was done by Paula Abdul.

Eddie Murphy played the following characters:Prince Akeem,The Barber,The Old man in the chair 🪑 in the barbershop 💈,the singer of the band S. Chocolate!!!

I'm pretty sure that Paula Abdul did the choreography for the dance scene at the royal engagement.

Yes, there are still beauty pageants. One similar business that seems to have slowly faded away are the promotional models at car shows, boat shows, and that sort of thing.

John Landis & Eddie were a great combo on screen, even though they clashed off it. You should definitely watch Trading Places, Eddie's first huge hit, and you'll also get the Randall & Mortimer joke in Coming to America.

18:50 you may not have realised it, but the old guys Randolf and Mortimer Duke. Are both main characters in another Eddie Murphy movie he did with Dan Aykroid and Jamie Lee Curtis, called Trading Places. So it was a weird to see the Duke brothers again reprising their roles, in a different movie with Eddie Murphy as a different character. Trading Places is a movie that should be added to your Patreon Polls. Also, watch Coming to America 2. They made it decades later. We find out what happened to the previous Bride to be and a bunch of other funny stuff. And they also brought back many of the extras to reprise their roles. It is not as funny as the original, but that is standard fare for most sequels. Do not watch it expecting the same magic as the original.

Took me years to realize I'd seen the actress who played Lisa before... she was in an episode of the original "Quantum Leap" tv series called "Pool Hall Blues"

The sequel is not that bad. It's not the first one but it's worth a watch.

So many great lines in this.

Randolph and Mortimer were the two old rich guys from the movie Trading Places (with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd). It was a nice little easter egg.

One of Murphy's characters in the barbershop calls Akeem Kunta Kinte who is the main character in Roots and was played by (the original obvs, and when he's older) by Joel Amos who plays Mr McDowell.

Please watch the STAR TREK movies. 🖖

Masterpiece ever. Greatness

My dad quoted this movie more than any other when I was a kid.

The old man Saul in the barbershop is Eddie Murphy. He can be heard as a curmudgeon in a skit from Eddie Murphy’s Greatest Comedy Hits album. The characters of the homeless old guys Randolph & Mortimer Duke are the Duke Brothers from Trading Places, which also starred Eddie Murphy and directed by John Landis, respectively.
