@Joe Blow I know didn't know if RUclips nazi take that stuff down. Guess I could have or typed F*CK Like your channel, if you're the WTF happened to this movie guy good stuff
@Jacob Dean you shut you ignorant comedic mouth up! And bow down to the king of his time chris farley! Lol Farley Still rips and I didnt even think his movie was funny until i got older to which im 35 now
Of Eddie Murphy's films, this is probably my all-time favorite. I never grow tired of watching this film whenever it comes on TV, or if I watch it on DVD. I can't wait for the sequel, out this Christmas.
Hey Minty, I don't want to sound too personal but you sound like a guy like me, grew up un the 80s and 90s and knows most of the pop culture of the time's. It's one of the reasons I love your channel. Keep up the good work! Peace.
At the end where Minty talks about the humor of the movie, I think it's because Murphys humor usually comes from someone experienced and the humor in Coming to America is the humor found when you're innocent or inexperienced.
I really enjoy your videos! I was born in 81 so we are close in age and have grown up with a lot of the same stuff! Keep em coming! A Young Guns or Kuffs episode would be AWESOME!!! Have you done Point Break?
All of the barbershop scenes and the 3 guys in those scenes are the best parts. Along with the bum rolling down the steps avoiding to pay rent, then Farts at the end. Hilarious. toilet humor, I know, but I'm a male so you'll have that 🤣💨
I'm surprised Minty didn't mention the Lion King connection. It's not just James Earl Jones and Madage Sinclair playing the King and Queen. There are SEVERAL references.
Eddie has said he would love to ro a Randy Watson spin off film, I really hope he does it!. Eddie also came up with the name Sexual Chocolate as an ad lib, and is the one who stated the MIC DROP.
Someone needs to buy the property at 8507 Queens Blvd and build a permanent McDowell's restaurant. They could easily make an agreement with McDonald's to sell McDonald's food, but rebranded to names like in the movie. Maybe the McDowell's restaurant will make another comeback as part of a promotion for Coming to America 2?
13:20 HOLY SHIT! Is that the one-and-only Chow Yun-Fat playing Eddie Murphy's part in the Hong Kong knock-off? 13:55 My high school actually managed to sell tickets for a screening in the cafeteria, and it was a big hit (I'm sure the "Royal Bath" scene had nothing to do with that). Years later, my Ugandan (ex) wife & I sat down to watch it with her parents. The portrayal of a fictional African kingdom offended them more than that royal bath scene ever could! The idea of it being a fairy tale completely eluded them.
I didn't know until the credits that eddie murphy played the old jewish guy.....lol.....you could see some Eddie in the others but that guy? blew me away.....
Wait a minute, didn't coming to America go thru a lawsuit because some guy claimed to have wrote the original coming to America script and won his case because he claimed he had a copyright to it?
Well if they do a sequel 50% Princess Diaries and 50% Father's Day (a 1997 movie with Robin Williams and Billy Crystal) Should work Also when Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall go to America to get Eddie's son they're expecting to get someone liked The Rock but instead they get Chris Rock Although they are both a lil too old to be Eddie Murphy's kid
You may have missed Vivica Fox who was in the crowd at the rally where Randy Watson performed. She is uncredited, but in the crowd at the end of the first row "clapping" for Randy: ruclips.net/video/KzANAr1V82c/видео.html
My favorite cameo of sorts, you ask? Why, that has to be the adorable future "Spin City" actress Victoria Dillard as one of Prince Akeem's bathers, delivering the best line in the whole movie: "The royal penis is now clean!".
Minty, I'm shocked! You completely missed that this was the first of two movies in which James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair portrayed African royalty. The second, of course, was when they voiced Mufasa and Sarabi in The Lion King!

As a kid, I would watch every airing on TV. It was sweet and a base for my humor as an adult. The prince always remained positive no matter how negative his situation got
I remember my older brother talking me into skipping school one day because he knew it was coming on and we recorded it and watched it over and over for years I was like in kindergarten
I love when the guy at MSG says this was the best day of his life - and Eddy Murphy gets asked who it was and he responds " A man I met in the Bathroom" ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Shoving your own hand up your own ass because of pronunciation. That's the pettiest most pathetic shit to get pissy about. The entire world doesn't speak your specific brand of English. Gtf over yourselves. You're not special or important and your opinion means less than nothing.
Yes! A million times, yes! I can’t count how many quotable funny lines i’ve said from this movie. Even now, every time I hear or see something completely messed up, I start clapping really fast and say “that boy, good!” Or “Randy Watson, Yes!”😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
I don't know how many times I've rubbed someone's clothing and said "This is beautiful! What is that? Velvet?" Or suddenly told the story of the time I met Martin Luther King and he knocked the wind out of me, if there's a pause in conversation. The whole movie's quotable.
We were introduced to Samuel Jackson because of this movie. And that was a good thing. McDowell,I like the part when he asks are the people from McDonald's here.
I went to see this with my cousin. If I live to be a thousand I will never forget the way she nearly hurt herself laughing when Akeem's birthday song was performed--"...and she's free of disease!" I think my cousin missed the next five minutes of the movie because she couldn't recover from hysterics. I just love this movie to death.
a childhood favorite, for sure. I miss the days when I could quote Eddie Murphy movies/standup and George Carlin standup and it was almost guaranteed that someone would pick up what I was putting down....but things change and we must go on...
I have to admit this is another one of any Murphy's best films ever cause it is funny and romantic and murphy played the Prince amazingly well and I heard there's gonna be coming to America 2 and it's got this same cast. Also Minty if you don't mind this request 10 things we didn't know about mortal kombat? Anyway take care yourself and stay healthy👍❤👍❤👍❤
Bet you anything it's gonna be a soft reboot with the son of the prince. It's gonna have every popular modern black actor like Kevin Heart and Craig Robinson. They will modernize it of course and Hakeem's son will be a hipster nerd of some kind just trying to find a girl that would like him. Being a millennial and Hakeem's son, he will have grown up without the same privileges he had and has never interacted with a girl before. He spent all his time playing videogames and being on the computer. How close do you think I am?
One of my favorite movies! I watched it with someone a few years back who'd never seen it before and they had an interesting point. He said There's not really an antagonist or a "bad guy". And when I thought about it, he's right! Eric LeSalle's character Darryl is the closest, but still not a villain - type. It's strange, I can't think of another movie offhand with no bad guy.
@Paul I bet you typed that comment while fighting lions and tigers and shit 😂😂😂😂😂. Him and John Amos are all stars. "Hey, what are you doin!?!? What are you doin?!?! Get the hell outta here before I bust that camera!?!?" 😭😭😭😭
The soundtrack as she said that makes the scene even more funnier 😂😂😂😂😂 "I hope you dont mind me coming over, but I been watching you all evening, and I wanna tear you apart... And your friend too" 😂😂😂😂

Greg Boyington Don’t know how well it did at the box office but “Let’s Do It Again” was a great movie. And I think John Amos was in it too.
“Do It” was about 1974. Starred Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier. And featured just about every comedic black actor around at that time.

Love the movie
A little fact, the apartment building was in Williamsburg Brooklyn whereas the restaurants location was actually Queens.
At the end where Minty talks about the humor of the movie, I think it's because Murphys humor usually comes from someone experienced and the humor in Coming to America is the humor found when you're innocent or inexperienced.
Coming To America is an absolute classic! "Oh, he is just someone I met in the men's room."
I really enjoy your videos! I was born in 81 so we are close in age and have grown up with a lot of the same stuff! Keep em coming! A Young Guns or Kuffs episode would be AWESOME!!! Have you done Point Break?

All of the barbershop scenes and the 3 guys in those scenes are the best parts. Along with the bum rolling down the steps avoiding to pay rent, then Farts at the end. Hilarious. toilet humor, I know, but I'm a male so you'll have that 🤣💨
My favorite cameo in coming to America was a young Jamie Foxx you open the door for Akeem and his possible future wife after the queen to be song.
I'm surprised Minty didn't mention the Lion King connection. It's not just James Earl Jones and Madage Sinclair playing the King and Queen. There are SEVERAL references.
I love the trading places cameo.
That damn wedding scene will go down in history.
The Dance number looks like a great workout.
Eddie has said he would love to ro a Randy Watson spin off film, I really hope he does it!. Eddie also came up with the name Sexual Chocolate as an ad lib, and is the one who stated the MIC DROP.
“Who was that Akeem? Oh just someone I met in the bathroom.” Classic.

I heard Chadwick Boseman was supposed to be in the sequel
I have to admit this is another one of any Murphy's best films ever cause it is funny and romantic and murphy played the Prince amazingly well and I heard there's gonna be coming to America 2 and it's got this same cast. Also Minty if you don't mind this request 10 things we didn't know about mortal kombat? Anyway take care yourself and stay healthy👍❤👍❤👍❤
Bet you anything it's gonna be a soft reboot with the son of the prince. It's gonna have every popular modern black actor like Kevin Heart and Craig Robinson. They will modernize it of course and Hakeem's son will be a hipster nerd of some kind just trying to find a girl that would like him. Being a millennial and Hakeem's son, he will have grown up without the same privileges he had and has never interacted with a girl before. He spent all his time playing videogames and being on the computer. How close do you think I am?

Landis also directed Michael Jackson’s Thriller which is a great class
Yeah, he also did American Werewolf in London a few years earlier.
Possibly my favorite horror flick!
One of my fav cameos was Vonde Curtis Hall. Hilarious! And of course Sam Jackson brings his own brand of Samjackson-ness to everything he does. Lol
Lol "who the fuck is this asshole?"
It's a damn shame what they did to that dog.

top ten favorite movies of all time.... Randy Watson approves. Sexual Chocolate!
I gave this a thumb up before it even started.
One of my favorite movies! I watched it with someone a few years back who'd never seen it before and they had an interesting point. He said There's not really an antagonist or a "bad guy". And when I thought about it, he's right! Eric LeSalle's character Darryl is the closest, but still not a villain - type. It's strange, I can't think of another movie offhand with no bad guy.
Eriq La Salle who played Peter Benton on E.R. was Darryl. He was basically a live action Gaston with his character!
Eriq La Salle was also in Logan. He was the father of the farm family
He would have helped, but he had a cup of coffee in his hand. Til this day, my friends and I still use that excuse. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Paul I bet you typed that comment while fighting lions and tigers and shit 😂😂😂😂😂. Him and John Amos are all stars. "Hey, what are you doin!?!? What are you doin?!?! Get the hell outta here before I bust that camera!?!?" 😭😭😭😭
