Mia cracks up COMING TO AMERICA (1988) Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@williamjones6031]

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".

[@SkullAngel002]

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.

[@meliakelle]

I know of Paula thanks to American Idol! I knew she was a choreographer but it’s so cool to know she did choreographing for this movie as well!

[@inarar5334]

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.

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

[@demariobrown3099]

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

[@joepowell7025]

You really can't beat these beautiful older classics.

[@queegs73]

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.

[@desmawalker556]

The Make-Up Guy on this movie is Rick Baker, who I believe IS an Oscar winning recipient for his work done on the movie AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON & (If I remember correctly, he did the make-up for Michael Jackson's THRILLER video)... And also received an award for that as well. This man is like the "Jedi Master of Make-up" and has been in the business A LONG TIME !!! 👍😀

[@battleaxe8252]

He did😂

[@davidterhune8277]

​@desmawalker556 As a kid he was inspired by the original "Planet of the Apes". Then he grew up and did the makeup on Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes". And "Gorillas in the Mist", which I think he also won an Oscar for. He also did "The Nutty Professor "

"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.

[@GlennFate-vd4np]

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

[@meliakelle]

I love that movie! I remember seeing it when it came out in the theaters 20 years ago! I haven’t watched it in quite some time, though.

[@Raven5150]

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

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 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

19:28 Trading Places

[@MarcoMM1]

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).

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).

[@popcornroulettereactions]

Amelia doesn’t edit the reactions but it is always a trade off in what can and cannot be included and what jokes land and eve provoke a reaction!

[@popcornroulettereactions]

She recognized them I think she just couldn’t remember their names or wasn’t 100 percent sure - sometimes a reactor says nothing instead of saying the wrong thing because the comments can be hilariously over corrective at times.

[@XRos28]

The king didn't arrive to America because the forty days were up, he (and everyone else) came because of Semi'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. 😀
