Coming to America (1988) First Time Watching Reaction| Arab Muslim Brothers Reaction

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Hey in case you guys didnt know the king (James Earl Jones) did the voice for Darth Vader in all the Star Wars movies. Also the part in the restaurant where the guy says "I'm washing lettuce, soon I'll be on fries, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in" is a legendary movie quote that people still use today! So funny

[@PatBlackwell-z3i]

So true

[@Qu33nMary444]

This movie is so awesome, I've been quoting the most random lines from it for 30+ years!😂 "He aint lyin'!" "Whatever you liiike" "Were you going to say something?" "You sweat from a babboons balls" "S**UAL CHOCOLATE!!!" Etc etc etc 😂😂😂

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

That was comedian Louie Andersen washing the lettuce.

[@Kjaja07]

and mufasa in the lion king

[@time2chill121]

He was also in Field Of Dreams with Kevin Costner

[@tamiramos5873]

-The man who played Akeem's father was James Earl Jones. He died earlier this year. He played the voice of Darth Vader and also the voice of Mufasa in the Lion King. -The man who played the father and owner of the restaurant is John Amos. He died earlier this year. -There man who was an employee washing the lettuce was Louie Anderson -You guys already recognized Samuel Jackson -The two men playing the two homeless men that Akeem gave a bag of money to was a reference to the movie "Trading Places." Please put that movie on your list to watch. -And yes, both Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy played several rolls in this movie

[@lillybart-s9i]

great post on the cast. I have some notes to add: --John Amos, Lisa's father, was famous to US audiences as the father James Evans on the comedy-drama show Good times. He also played the adult Kunte Kinte in the legendary 1977 Roots. He just died recently. He was a legend. --Eddie Murphy played several roles in the movie and in a lot of his other movies like the Nutty Professor. --Arsenio Hall and Murphy were friends; Arsenio also plays multiple roles in the film. Arsenio was well known to US audiences as a comedian and a late night talk show host --The queen was also John Amos' co star in Roots as the wife of Kunta Kinte --Lisa was a well known fashion/cosmetics model --this movie has a recent sequel that is available on screening sites. It was only ok. it was not funny like the original which is considered a comedy classic in the US. --the two old men who were homeless and who say we are back were characters in an earlier Eddie Murphy hit film, Trading Places. They lose all their money at the end of that film and so that is why they say they are back. --the Soul Glo is a joke about the jheri curl hair style that was greasy in the 80s. It was super popular. Great reaction as always.

[@libertyresearch-iu4fy]

Madge Sinclair played James Earl Jones' character's wife in both 'Coming to America' and 'The Lion King'. She actually died of leukemia not long after completing 'The Lion King'.

[@OrondeBranch]

Yes! Trading Places is an absolute MUST 😂.

[@MarnieGolde7]

[@utalomAlibbantakat]

28:49 Friedrich Nietzsche was a German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture, who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers.[14] He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy. In 1869 at the age of 24, he became the youngest person to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in Switzerland. In 1879 he resigned due to health problems that plagued him most of his life, after which he completed much of his core writing in the following decade. In 1889 at age 44, he suffered a collapse and afterward a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and probably vascular dementia. He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897, and then with his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Nietzsche died in 1900, after experiencing pneumonia and multiple strokes. Nietzsche's work spans philosophical polemics, poetry, cultural criticism, and fiction while displaying a fondness for aphorism and irony. Prominent elements of his philosophy include his radical critique of truth in favour of perspectivism; a genealogical critique of religion and Christian morality and a related theory of master-slave morality; the aesthetic affirmation of life in response to both the "death of God" and the profound crisis of nihilism; the notion of Apollonian and Dionysian forces; and a characterisation of the human subject as the expression of competing wills, collectively understood as the will to power. He also developed influential concepts such as the Übermensch and his doctrine of eternal return. In his later work, he became increasingly preoccupied with the creative powers of the individual to overcome cultural and moral mores in pursuit of new values and aesthetic health. His body of work touched a wide range of topics, including art, philology, history, music, religion, tragedy, culture, and science, and drew inspiration from Greek tragedy as well as figures such as Zoroaster, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Richard Wagner, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. After his death, Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth became the curator and editor of his manuscripts. She edited his unpublished writings to fit her German ultranationalist ideology, often contradicting or obfuscating Nietzsche's stated opinions, which were explicitly opposed to antisemitism and nationalism. Through her published editions, Nietzsche's work became associated with fascism and Nazism. 20th-century scholars such as Walter Kaufmann, R. J. Hollingdale, and Georges Bataille defended Nietzsche against this interpretation, and corrected editions of his writings were soon made available. Nietzsche's thought enjoyed renewed popularity in the 1960s and his ideas have since had a profound impact on 20th- and early 21st-century thinkers across philosophy-especially in schools of continental philosophy such as existentialism, postmodernism, and post-structuralism-as well as art, literature, music, poetry, politics, and popular culture.

[@SMOOVKILL1]

Trading Places is a must watch. 👌🏾

[@Strider91]

Absolutely

[@Myss.Kelly444]

You have to react to Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd to understand the importance of the men he gave the money to. ❤❤❤ Thanks for your reaction!

[@Kjaja07]

John Amos who played Mr McDowel (the American Dad) also played Kunta Kinte, and the actress who plays the queen played Kunta Kinte’s wife

[@marisakennedy777]

It's sad that they don't make movies like this anymore. The guys at the barber shop are my favorite lines. But there are a lot of funny scenes in this movie ❤

[@sesanalorenzo]

To get this 36:37 you had to have seen the movie Trading places 😉

[@kadinzaofelune]

Good one to review early 80's Eddie Murphy

[@kadinzaofelune]

There is also a part two...love watching you guys! Makes me think humanity may survive.

[@Chalando.9431]

Yes check out trading places

[@CascadeKait]

I remember watching this with my mom when I was little

[@kdeez4971]

I remember watching this in the theater with my older brother, he's since passed away last year and will the second Christmas we don't get to this classic together but in spirit.

[@CascadeKait]

@ sorry for your loss. My mom has since passed as well. I was feeling very sentimental watching this

[@candicelitrenta8890]

The old Jewish guy in the barbershop is Eddie Murphy in makeup

[@joykind4258]

Watch Trading Places!!! Eddie Murphy's BEST movie

[@terezahoward4008]

The 2 homeless men he gàve money to, are in one of his first movies TRADING PLACES in 1983. The movi3 was about. the stock exchànge, and those 2 lost everything in the the end.

[@webbzysworld9030]

The barbershop scene will always be the best. It’s hilarious when he keeps changing Joe Lewis’s age 😂😂😂

[@philmakris8507]

R.I.P. John Amos

[@murdockparker1274]

Great reaction movie! Enjoyed watching again with you guys!

[@kristisumner720]

Eddie Murphy play multiple characters in the barber shop and Arsenio Hall play multiple characters as well

[@MsLuvmusic81]

its wild he played the jewish guy in the shop!

[@efjefe]

I love McDowells! Thanks James for Good Times! Ha if you know you know. James left Florida for NYC from the Chicago. Lol

[@Jaybarka]

"Pocket Change!!!" You MUST Watch "Trading Places" It Will Explain That Entire Scene 😂

[@Qu33nMary444]

For those of us lucky enough to be around in the 80s, no one (besides Robin Williams) came close to Eddie Murphy in terms of comedy gold 😅 In that decade he gave us Coming To America, Trading Places, Delirious, Raw, Beverley Hills Cop, 48 Hours, The Golden Child, plus all his incredible work on Saturday Night Live, dude is a legend!

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Richard Pryor has entered the chat

[@stanleyetienne8353]

This film is a perfect comedy to me, there is not one waisted scene.

[@kdeez4971]

I would've liked to see you guys react to the end credits!

[@loisrogers9042]

So glad you're watching this movie. Good one!😊

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Trading Places came out before this movie and those 2 old white homeless men that Akeem gave the money to were very important characters in that so to understand the reference you need to react to that. You will understand it much better

[@seanrh4294]

That was a good movie choice! Back when they still made good movies....

[@abell509]

I'm so stoked for this! Love this film.

[@wolfgar271]

The old homeless men (Randolph and Mortimer Duke) are two characters from the movie Trading Places which was another great Eddie Murphy comedy.

[@MsLuvmusic81]

yup and same director - John landis

[@cinemeleon2808]

"She's clear skin, the other is darker" is craaazy

[@YourAestheticianKinahHoward]

Rightttt, that was major side eye 👀

[@asa90064]

people have different skin tones...

[@hzitoinsin]

Yeah it's kinda icky. They also have a tendency not to remember black characters' names and refer to them as their skin colour only. Even when said character is a MC (Somerset in Se7en and Red in Shawshank Redemption)

[@THEORGINALPLUSH]

Did you catch the remark of the one on the right. When the larger lady came out then the real bride to be came out. He said, "they're the same" I guess both dark skin. Then he said "what you think she's beautiful?" to the one on the left. Smh. I'm through with this channel.

[@pauldavis1963]

@ 49:28 ......RIP John Amos and James Earl Jones

[@WealthyC]

Gentlemen, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reactions to this film. For context to the “pocket change” drop at 36:19, watch the 1983 film “Trading Places”.

[@elcid1390]

As people have mentioned, the Prince's dad was played by James Earl Jones. He was a Lieutenant in the Army (this was not easy for Black people at the time) and he was certified as a Ranger, which is an elite kind of soldier. When he passed away this year, they sold off the vast collection of guns he had amassed over the years: for example, of approximately 175 WA2000 sniper rifles ever made, 10 were imported to the US and Jones owned two. An American icon.

[@williamjones6031]

1. They killed the multiple roles.🤩🤩 2. The appearance of the Dukes is called an "Easter egg" for "Trading Places.". 3. "If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs",🤣🤣 3. RIP James Earl Jones😇 4. RIP John Amos😇

[@RobertaSirgutz]

I'm really glad to see your displeasure at the representation and disrespect for women in the movie. Even though it was made pretty long ago, women fought for opportunities and lots of barriers had been broken. Young men, regardless of culture, keep evolving in terms of how they relate to women in the workplace and at home.

[@TheThetaMan]

Love this reaction 😂. Ya'll have to watch "Harlem Nights" next 😁👌🏾

[@ladiuneeq9789]

😂😂 I think a lot of the jokes went over their heads. 😂😂

The 3 barber shop guys are Eddie Murphy and a couple of guys onstage at the fundraising event are him. The quote was Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher.

[@letsrock72]

He is not a dictator, he is a King and his subjects love him.

[@markhill3858]

Concord was the world's fastest passenger plane ever made. However, it was a bit of a "hanger queen", meaning it needed as much maintenance as many combat aircraft. It just wasn't economically sound .. so inferior to slower but much cheaper and more reliable vehicles. Nice idea .. in theory. But sometimes theories just don't mesh with reality too good.

[@brandonflorida1092]

"Who the hell is Nietzsche?" No one right now, but Friedrich Nietzsche was a 19th century German philosopher, critic, and poet.

[@jeromym5124]

That broke my heart

[@Hideotic]

24:42 OMG I just realized this is a reference to the Michael Jordan McDonald’s commercial.

[@jeroenwubbels7824]

Father in law played Kunta Kinte in Roots, one to watch for sure

[@squiggyflop]

I can't believe my Dad let me watch this when I was little. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a famous german scholar and philosopher.

[@efjefe]

Brothers 55:23 . This is a call back from Trading Places movie! Its hilarious Brother watch that movie. Seriously. Youll get that scene

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

"Who is Nietzsche?" Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher of the 19th century. Interesting stuff. Important not to blame him for certain 20th century German movements that hijacked his name.

[@adrianspikes6454]

@36:53 He gave them thousand dollar notes, the US had them in circulation up until like late 80s still and probably longer internationally

[@greendiamondglow]

29:51 I don't think you know how truly useless the cops are in a situation like this. Had cops actually been in the restaurant when it was robbed, it's a toss up if they would've even done anything.

When he got hit with a milkshake and Habibi brother #2 yelled out, “WHAT!!” and made that face 😂omg I laughed so hard. He’s adorable and so fucking funny 😂

In the barbershop, Eddie Murphy played the main barber and the old white Jewish man.

Late James Earl Jones (RIP), the king Jaffe Joffer, is famous greatly for the voice of Darth Vader. Also, remember him if you ever watch Conan the Barbarian 😁

[@donfette5301]

Someone might’ve said this already but the guy robbing the restaurant is the same guy from pulp fiction, and you remember the restaurant scene in that 11 he’s the one getting robbed, lol.

[@patriciarodden-kesner6219]

Got a great recommendation for a movie. The Mothman. Based on true events. That bridge came down and there were many reports of seeing this creature in advance of the devastating collapse of the bridge. You won’t be disappointed.

[@SusanHamer]

The two homeless men who got the money were big movie stars of the 1940s and 1950s, Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy

[@PatBlackwell-z3i]

The two old homeless guys are the two in Trading Places

[@ChrisBurke-p1m]

OK, so Arsenio hall, and Eddie Murphy both had four different roles in the movie. Eddie Murphy played the prince, The barber that actually cut his hair, the white guy in the barbershop, and the lead singer of sexual chocolate. While Arsenio played his servant, the barber with the beard and the white hair sitting in the barber chair in the barbershop, The Reverend, and one of the girls that they talked to at their table in the nightclub.

[@adamborder4148]

Sorry you didn't seem to get the scene with "Mortimer and Randolf" Thanksgiving is coming soon and it would be a time soon coming to be some jive turkeys like yourselves to watch a different movie with Eddie Murphy in it... I'd go with it if you can figure it out somewhere between Thanksgiving and the merry new year if I were yous...

[@dannydixon6569]

Also Eddie's father on here does the voice for Darth vader in star wars movies

[@danielskinner5346]

Those two bums are from Trading. Places.

[@MelissaBergIllustration]

Oh this movie is great. RIP James Earl Jones. His amazing voice I will never forget. I actually shed a tear when I heard about his death. Another great movie of his Field of Dreams if you haven’t seen it yet definitely worth it. He also had a small role in each of the Jack Ryan movies. Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger (not sure the correct order of those last two, they are technically a trilogy. Action movies about a CIA Officer) Jones plays CIA director. All very good movies.

[@MsWatcheverything]

Now you have to watch TRADING PLACES

[@LightMovies]

Have you ever thought to try to move to southern Europe? I mean, Italy or France, for example? Maybe for Algerians France is better, but there are a lot of arabs here in south Europe. You would be in a wealthier country, and moreover you could gain money and a passport to go to US whenever you want, as a turist, because departuring from Europe is not like departuring from a northern african country, once you land in US. They take in count where you come from. Then, you can try to figure out how to move permanently to US if you want, but since it's already difficult to move there permanently for us europeans, it's impossible to do that directly from Algeria, unless you have saved a lot of money and have a good sponsor there who needs you for a formal job.
