1. They killed the multiple roles. 2. The appearance of the Dukes is an "Easter egg" from "Trading Places". 3. "I'll just tell you one time, if you want to keep working here, you have to stay off the drugs." 🤣 4. James Earl Jones AND John Amos! GMAFB😎😎😁 5. A movie featuring John Amos worth a first time/share is "The Beastmaster".

40 days hadn't passed, they got Semmi's message and it alarmed the king so much he came to find them immediately. The only thing I know is that "your majesty" type honorifics are for the kings and queens, and your highnesses for the heirs. Something like that.

The makeup artist on this film should have won an Oscar. Such an amazing job on all the different characters portrayed by Eddie Murphy. Capped off by him portraying the old Jewish man was amazing. There is an old funny SNL skit where Eddie dressed up in makeup as a white business man to see if white privilege existed. It’s funny. But today’s sensitive standards would probably cause an uproar.

4:45 - Fun fact, the choreographer responsible for this tribal dance was a former Lakers dancer (also then up & coming pop artist) named Paula Abdul.

The opening song is in fact, "Mbube", the original Zulu standard that would becoming "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". This version is recorded by Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Another great Eddie Murphy movie is 'Daddy Day Care'.

You really can't beat these beautiful older classics.

One of the funniest romantic comedy movies ever made!

This reaction is flying!! Great job Amelia!! ❤️ also I like how the crown is on your head during the opening ;)

"To live and die in LA" be the first to react to this masterpiece of film. Stars Willem Dafoe and William Petersen.

Wow i can tell from 5 min in the beginning how much shes a westernized reactor lol but i enjoyed

12:54 There is still a Radio Shack about an hour away from me in New Holland, PA.

Hi Amelia, nice to see you again!😊 This is a well made and acted classic comedy. They did eventually come out with a sequel in recent years. It is "Coming 2 America" (2021). It is a funny film sequel and worth a viewing. Great reactions to the original Coming to America, Amelia!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

26:39 As a New Yorker, I will say "I'm going to the train station".

$500,000 ear rings, but without a receipt in queens they worth $50

better start those eddie playlists brotha man

Excellent, I can't wait to watch Amelia's reaction to this later :)

Did you recognize the Duke Brothers from Trading Places?

Hi Amelia hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

Hi Amelia, great reaction to this, I loved it :) & this is one of Eddie's best movies. I highly recommend him in Beverley Hills Cop (1984) & The Golden Child (1986) Please react to Memphis Belle (1990) next: it's based the true story of the first US Army Air Corps B17 bomber plane crew's 25th and final mission of their tour of duty in Europe during WWII. I'm subscribed and have the notification bell switched on :)

Check out Eddie Murphy in Boomerang(1992), The Nutty Professor(1996), and Harlem Nights(1989).

"So why did you come here?" "To find something special." "It's a long way to travel." "No journey is too great when one finds what he seeks." Fun Fact: Cuba Gooding Jr. (an Oscar winner) and Vondie Curtis-Hall (an Emmy and SAG Award nominee) made their first on-screen appearances in this film. Zamunda Forever Fact: Zamunda is the name of the fictional African country the main characters are from. This name was taken from a Richard Pryor routine where he referred to a fictional African tribe of the same name. Double Duty Fact: This was the first time Eddie Murphy played multiple characters in the same film, inspired by Peter Sellers who did the same in Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (1964). This would become a trademark of Murphy. After the make-up and clothing was applied for the Saul character, Eddie Murphy wanted to test the make-up and costume out. He got a golf cart and drove from one studio department to another in Paramount Studios. He would get out of the cart and say "Hi. I'm Eddie Murphy." in his regular voice. No one believed him. Before The MCU Fact: The homeless men that receive the money from Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) are the Duke brothers (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) from Trading Places (1983) also directed by John Landis. In that movie, Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) was responsible for The Dukes losing their fortune. The Dukes theme from the movie can be heard in the background. Apparently, Landis didn't like the idea because it would be too self-referential, even though he is known for breaking the fourth wall in his movies. It led to a conflict with producer George Folsey Jr., until star Eddie Murphy decided that it was a great idea.

"That was hilarious!" 😂 😉 😎

22:54 "Has it been 40 days?" Oh, no. It's just that King Joffer has come to the US in search of an explanation for why Semmi was asking for so much _money._

You can definitely go in between the subway cars when they’re moving. Or at least you could back in the 90s. The key is to not look down, because it will terrify you seeing the giant gaps in between the subway cars. And it’s really only a thing metal chain keeping you from going over. You had to do it fast and be focused just like she did it, without looking down. Lol

This is one of Samuel L Jackson's first movies.

Lol...we say "hurry up before we miss the train!" I don't think I've really said 'subway' unless talking to people that aren't from NY...we'll just mention the specific stations or trains

The two homeless guys were in the movie, _"Trading Places," who lost all of their money. They are reprising their character roll from _"Trading Places"_ in _"Coming To America."_

Your majesty is the king and queen your heiness is prince and princess the titles keep changing as generations go

10:51 "Try to work in a plug for the new salad bar." "Daddy, I'm not mentioning the _restaurant."_ Oh, throw the man a bone. He's trying to build a _franchise;_ a franchise you may well _inherit,_ one day.

You need to watch, Trading Places immediately. Then watch Coming 2 America after that...!

In NYC u say- catch a train, anything than a subway u specify.

28:58: Dude is Hailee Steinfeld's uncle.

27:03 Any passenger train has that. Ridden Amtrak and the rail here in my state and you can go easily between cars.

Majesty is reserved for the monarch, royal highness is for the other (titled) members of the royal family

Lol...opening credit...yo head placement with yo ..."back-drop".... "my...Queen"....lol

One of my favorite movies !❤

28:59 Yea, not Seinfeld. But you're probably familiar with his niece, Hailey. :)

Eddie Murphy "HARLEM NIGHTS" and another movie "A rage in Harlem"

7:24 "Where shall we go? Los Angeles or New York?" 🤨Well now, speaking as a man who has grown _up_ in the US, is now in his mid-40s, and has never lived in either city, I take umbrage to the dismissive nature of that question.

So I’m pretty sure you saw trading places first. I’m wondering why you didn’t pick up on the fact that the two guys that Eddie Murphy gave the money to are the same guys that he took the money from in trading places

You can walk between cars on the subway. Done it hundreds of times.

Rick Baker won the Oscar for his amazing work he also did the transformation scene in an American werewolf in London which was ridiculous check it out. 9/10

Amelia, pls be mindful of not cutting out "jokes & punchlines" when editing movies. But, besides that, you did good. "LIFE" is a movie starring Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence, and it is EQUALLY as good as "Coming To America" in every way (storyline, makeup, even touching moments!). Both are my Top 2 favorite movies. "LIFE" is a no-brainer to react to, (no exaggeration).

That was the Georgia Diner next door.

There used to be a Macdonalds at that location.

I’m here to answer the New York questions lol Yes, people do pass through the subway cars and yes it is illegal. However, there’s no one there to enforce that. Generally, when you are in the city, you refer to the subway by the one that you were going to take: we’re gonna take the “F” or the “1” 27:13

Great reaction Amelia i love this movie its hilarious, One of the standout features of this movie is Eddie Murphy’s incredible portrayal of not just one, but four different characters in the film. He plays the main character, Prince Akeem, as well as three other supporting characters, including Clarence the barber. This showcased Murphy’s versatility and comedic talent. There are some fun-facts about it, Landis and Murphy revisited two central characters from their earlier collaboration. Wealthy brothers Randolph and Mortimer Duke lost everything betting against Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) in Trading Places. Actors Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche reprised their roles as the brothers in penury on the receiving end of Prince Akeem’s largesse. When they discover the envelope given to them is filled with cash, Randolph proclaims, “Mortimer, we’re back!” James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair got their 'Lion King' roles from the movie. James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair turned in suitably regal performances as Zamunda’s King Jaffe Joffer and Queen Aoleon. So impressed were audiences and Hollywood executives, Jones and Sinclair would be asked to reunite for the 1994 animated blockbuster The Lion King in the roles of Mufasa, king of Pride Rock, and his mate, Sarabi. McDowell’s restaurant was actually a Wendy’s, not a McDonald’s, the actual restaurant used in the movie was a working, Queens Boulevard Wendy’s location. The building remained a restaurant until 2013 when it was demolished to make way for a luxury apartment building. Paula Abdul created the choreography for the Zamunda wedding scene, Both Murphy’s and Hall’s brothers feature briefly in the movie during the basketball game scene in which Prince Akeem is recognized. Hall’s brother Vondie Curtis-Hall plays the keen-eyed vendor and Murphy’s stepbrother, Vernon Lynch, is standing in front of Akeem in the bathroom line. Tobe Hooper, the late horror director behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a dear friend of Landis’s appeared in the McDowells’ party scene. Keep up the good work. You might need to check out others movies with Eddie Murphy like, Beverly Hills Cop, Showtime (with Eddie and Robert Deniro), Nutty Professor, Dr. Doolittle, Life (2009).

You are Adorbs .. love your reaction . Saw this in the theater . One of my favs 🌠

Just discovered this channel and really enjoyed your reaction. My suggestion i Van Wilder starring Ryan Reynolds. It is hilarious.

The king didn't arrive to America because the forty days were up, he (and everyone else) came because of Semmi's plea for money. As for your question about forms of address (in the UK): King or Queen are addressed as Your Majesty/Majesties (the second is used when you apply to both at the same time. Your Royal Highness are all family members who has HRH in front of their name, Prince/Princess, Duke/Duchess etc... Non royal Dukes/Duchesses (meaning not from the royal family) are addressed as Your Grace, both male and female. Marquesses/Marchionesses, Earls/Countess, Barons/Baronesses are all Lord/Lady. after the first address of the day (for ALL) it's Sir/Ma'am. I hope that's what you wanted to know. 😀

My Cousin Vinnie

19:28 Trading Places

The homeless men he gave the money to are the rich brothers from Trading Places.

cool sweater

The women on this channel are gorgeous. She only shows a few inches of that beautiful leg, and I was getting distracted 😅

A tiny bit of a suggestion. It feels a lot better for the viewer if you look at the camera instead of the preview of the recording software.

A few more John Landis movies to catch - An American Werewolf in London and Blues Brothers.

First time watching one of your reactions. I must say, you have almost an uncanny resemblance to Annette Benning lol

18:34 🤦‍♂Semmi, what part of living as a local do you not _understand?_ I mean, I'm pretty sure you won't find an apartment in a radius of _ten blocks_ with a hot tub in its living room.

I suggest Saved. It's obscure but but delightful

I recommend swing kids its a more serious war movie but still lovely to watch

Did you miss the Trading Places recall? 😮

Very Nice Reaction To This Comedy Eddie Murphy Classic Beautiful And Hopefully Ya React To More Eddie Murphy Movies Soon Like The Nutty Professor Franchise 💯💯

Please react to Meg Ryan movies. It will be "trippy." LOL! You're a dead ringer. You could have been her stunt person... if she had done any "action" movies. To be honest... can't really see Meg Ryan in a bar fight.

Great Reaction!

WTF was this...some sort of a reaction? Really?
