    The 2 homeless guys are from Eddie’s movie Trading Places. There’s a direct connection.

    1. They killed the multiple roles.
    2. The appearance of the Dukes is an "Easter egg" from "Trading Places".
    3. James Earl Jones AND John Amos! GMAFB😎😎😁
    4. A movie featuring John Amos worth a first time/share is "The Beastmaster".
    5. "Coming two America" is OK, but that's about it.

    Imagine this movie doing an X-Over with the MCU's Black Panther. Zamunda being a border neighbor of Wakanda and the reason that their country's rich with gold is because they're the front to Wakanda's trades for any transactions to the outside world. With Vibranium being more valuable than gold, all of the gold that Wakanda dug out from their mines got traded to Zamunda. There were a lot of Black American actors that felt they missed out a big part of black movie history with not being a part of the Black Panther cast. If Chadwick Boseman didn't die, this x-over idea would had been a good excuse for all of those actors from this movie that wanted to be part of the Black Panther movie to make their characters relevant. Also this is from the mid 1980s not over a decade ago. So far this is the earliest movie that had Samuel Jackson in it. Also you missed the easter egg connection X-Over Eddie Murphy movie(Trading Places) with the homeless brothers.

    9:54 - That's done with a "star filter", which is just a piece of flat optical glass with fine etchings made to flare strong point sources. This particular one is a 4-star filter (it makes a cross - you can usually rotate them to make an X or whatever in between), but there are 6-star, 8-star, etc. It was an easy way to add a 'dreamy' feel to a scene, or, like in this case, just as a special effect. But oldschool. Because there was no CGI.

    You're right the ending does seemed rushed. Their relationship doesn't seemed earned in the end. Which made me think of one of the biggest 80s movies, maybe the biggest, "Crocodile Dundee"(1986). That movie has an ending that feels so earned you completely believe the 2 are in love.
