2:32- it’s funny that you mentioned the Lion King , because the actors who played Eddie Murphy’s parents in this also played Simba’s parents in The Lion King.
The kid in the barber shop chair was cuba gooding jr he was Tre in boys in the hood. This is one of those movies I never get tired of this movie. Sexual Chocolate is the best band ever.
I thought it was cool having both her and James Earl Jones not only play Eddie's parents, but also the voices of Simba's mom and dad in Original Lion King.
MJ,. you been on a role with the movie choices. This is absolutely my favorite movie all-time. I've seen it hundreds of times and still love watching it.
Do Dreamgirls next. It is one of Eddie Murphy's best performance. Also, the actors who played Murphy's parents in Coming to America played Simba's parents in The Lion King. Paula Abdul was the choreographer for the film
"That boy good!" Randy Watson is probably my favorite Eddie-in-makeup character. The way he stomps off stage is so funny to me 🤣🤣🤣 "Sexy Chocolate!!!" Eddie also does a lot of characters in Vampire in Brooklyn.
James Earl Jones is the King. He also played Mufasa in Lion King. When he comes to America, he wears a lion. So if you think about it, Mufasa is wearing Mufasa.
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".
Hands down one of the funniest movies in history Arsenio and Eddie got that perfect chemistry. Then all the other special appearances if u know u know.
The music of Ladysmith Black Mambazo is incredible. They're from South Africa, which I visited for a month in 1999. We went to Addo Elephant Park and saw them up close. It was stupendous, and of course I remember it always. I got lots of good pics.
21:20 Director F Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off) appears as an extra in front of the barbers in the middle. 30:00 Eddie Murphy’s brother Vernon’s Lynch is in the red hat
Great review! Side note: It's not a leopard or Jaguar on Akeem's shoulder (at the wedding). It looks an ocelot (which are not native to any African country)
Coming to America is the ultimate classic comedy film that made Eddie Murphy an even bigger star! A actor playing multiple characters was rare back then. It solidified Eddie Murphy as a comedic genius.
To be honest, MJ, those of us who want a real and lasting relationship are just looking for someone to stimulate our intellect and not just our loins. A decent conversation is quickly becoming a lost art, I'm afraid.
Yeah, Eddie Murphy! Coming to America is a riot. I love this movie and happy to see you have reacted to it! Question MJ, did you notice how many roles Eddie Murphy played in this? Quite a few.
You should check out the Sequel “Coming 2 America” on cool thing about The King and Queen played another King and Queen here in 1988 later on in 1994 The Lion King as Mufasa and Sarabi
Hi. Mj. How. Are doing i just saw your reaction to coming to America and i. For got how funny this movie is. And i glad you react to it i hope you. Pick. Anthoer. Comedy. From. Shawn walker
2:32- it’s funny that you mentioned the Lion King , because the actors who played Eddie Murphy’s parents in this also played Simba’s parents in The Lion King.
RIP James Earl Jones. The voice of a generation.
“His mama named him Clay, ima call ‘em Clay.”😂😂😂
Eddy Murphy ability to play different characters is unmatched. One of my favorite comedian/actor.
The kid in the barber shop chair was cuba gooding jr he was Tre in boys in the hood. This is one of those movies I never get tired of this movie. Sexual Chocolate is the best band ever.
And also RIP to Madge Sinclair, Louie Anderson and Montrose Hagins (she played Darryl's grandmother in the movie)
I thought it was cool having both her and James Earl Jones not only play Eddie's parents, but also the voices of Simba's mom and dad in Original Lion King.
Dat boy goooodddd….😂😂 😂
Yeah good and terrible
MJ,. you been on a role with the movie choices. This is absolutely my favorite movie all-time. I've seen it hundreds of times and still love watching it.
20+ years after I first saw it, I still think about the Soul Glo song
And props to Busta Rhymes for paying homage to Coming to America for the music video of his song Put Your Hands Where You Can See
Do Dreamgirls next. It is one of Eddie Murphy's best performance. Also, the actors who played Murphy's parents in Coming to America played Simba's parents in The Lion King. Paula Abdul was the choreographer for the film
"That boy good!"
Randy Watson is probably my favorite Eddie-in-makeup character. The way he stomps off stage is so funny to me 🤣🤣🤣 "Sexy Chocolate!!!"
Eddie also does a lot of characters in Vampire in Brooklyn.
That boy good. Good and terrible. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stu, the guy who throw himself down the stairs, is played by Eddie Murphy's real life uncle Ray Murphy!
I didn't know that tbh
Niice
LOL. at least it wasn't Uncle Gus!
Eddie’s brother is in the movie also, he’s in line with Akeem at the basketball game with the red baseball cap.
"JUST LET YOUR SOOOOOOOOOOUL...GLOOOOOOW WOOOO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🗣️“YES, IN THE FACE!!”😂😂
The Soul Glow song, is literally one of the funniest songs,, in a movie.
James Earl Jones is the King. He also played Mufasa in Lion King. When he comes to America, he wears a lion. So if you think about it, Mufasa is wearing Mufasa.
Simba's mother was voiced by Madge Sinclair, who also played Akeems mother in Coming to America
He's also the voice of Darth Vader
Do Vampire in Brooklyn hun 🍿
Fr
Definitely this here!
Yessss!
This the one!
Yessss
My mom told me that I would recite the lines from the barbershop scene 🤦🏽♀️ at 2 years old cussing up a storm 😂
😂
Fun fact: "That's that shit" by Snoop Dogg sampled the "the royal penis is clean your highness" scene
My favorite part when he said damn that boy can sing 😂😂because he lied 😂
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".
Every person in that barbershop was either Eddie Murphy or Arsenio Hall
When I see this movie, now I see the Busta Rhymes' "Put your hand where my eyes could see" video
And, THAT CAST ❤️
Hands down one of the funniest movies in history Arsenio and Eddie got that perfect chemistry. Then all the other special appearances if u know u know.
That's Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall playing all the hair barbers!
The music of Ladysmith Black Mambazo is incredible. They're from South Africa, which I visited for a month in 1999. We went to Addo Elephant Park and saw them up close. It was stupendous, and of course I remember it always. I got lots of good pics.
This movie still is hilarious back in 89' when my Uncle came from the movies and had tears 😢 in his eyes laughing.
21:20 Director F Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off) appears as an extra in front of the barbers in the middle.
30:00 Eddie Murphy’s brother Vernon’s Lynch is in the red hat
We definitely gotta get you to watch Harlem Nights
The boy in the barber chair is Cuba Gooding Jr. he played Tre Styles on Boyz N The Hood
this is one of my favorites of all time i remember when to see it back in 1988.
MJ is hilarious does great reactions. Now I gotta go watch this movie again even though I've seen it a hunnit times
I know you definitely won't forget this movie. This movie is too hilarious. 😂😂😂😂😂
Forever to be one of his classic movie
Champagne? The trick is to hold the cork with one hand and rotate the bottle while holding it from the base. The cork pops right off with zero effort.
“There’s a God somewhere” 😂
I remember watching this in Theaters with my Family
Not me watching this and eating noodles, then you start eating noodles. 🤣🤣🤣
Eddie Murphy was 26 yrs old at the time making this movie
John Amos was known to laugh like that when he was on the show Good Times. Lol
Fun Fact
Paula Abdul did the dance choreography for this movie.
"You ain't never met Martin Luther thaKing".
Another late night session to a timeless classic 😊...Mane im still waiting for your "1994 Fresh" reaction whenever you finally check that junt out 💀
❤❤❤❤❤💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥MJ and that's all I got to say. Keep this up and by 2030 I will call you the greatest UA-cam of all time
🗣️“SEXUAL CHOCOLATE !!!”
Amazing reaction to Coming to America!!
Bless you!
Just in case if you don't recognize him, Eddie also plays Saul, the old white Jewish guy in the barbershop.
A lot of these references are definitely true in this time period, but not so much in today's world. Miss the 80's and the 90's as well.
Good reaction
Made me.laugh when you said big guy was like human version of sponge bob.. so true. Until next 1 ✌️
This is a good movie
There is a castle in Lexington KY
Loved the reaction.
Wait until she watches Vampire In Brooklyn
Great review! Side note: It's not a leopard or Jaguar on Akeem's shoulder (at the wedding). It looks an ocelot (which are not native to any African country)
Eddie Murphy was 27 years old when he did Coming to America, and only 19 years old when he joined the cast of Saturday night live.
Busta Rhymes did a tribute to this movie in one of his music videos. Watch Put your hands where my eyes can see
Watching it again even though i watched it on patreon idc lol ❤
37:53 gang shidd 💯😂😂
1970s and 80s nyc was gully hood savage. Heroine and crack epidemic. My mom was in her teens and 20s 😂
Gotta watch the second one
Coming to America is the ultimate classic comedy film that made Eddie Murphy an even bigger star! A actor playing multiple characters was rare back then. It solidified Eddie Murphy as a comedic genius.
RIP James Earl Jones 😢
Coming to America my favorite movie thank mj
“Yes! In the face!”
There's a react sequel that came out called Coming 2 America and a show based on Coming to America.
8:12 - 8:17
Arsenio ain’t even try to do the fake ass African accent, 😂
To be honest, MJ, those of us who want a real and lasting relationship are just looking for someone to stimulate our intellect and not just our loins. A decent conversation is quickly becoming a lost art, I'm afraid.
Coming to America is a great Eddie Murphy classic.
Yeah, Eddie Murphy! Coming to America is a riot. I love this movie and happy to see you have reacted to it! Question MJ, did you notice how many roles Eddie Murphy played in this? Quite a few.
Always watch Eddie Murphy movies in chronological order.
Eddie was 27 when this movie came out in 1988.
You should check out the Sequel “Coming 2 America” on cool thing about The King and Queen played another King and Queen here in 1988 later on in 1994 The Lion King as Mufasa and Sarabi
Hi. Mj. How. Are doing i just saw your reaction to coming to America and i. For got how funny this movie is. And i glad you react to it i hope you. Pick. Anthoer. Comedy. From. Shawn walker
28:08 the cop was there with a delivery probably because it was an extremely expensive item
Yay!!
An Eddie Murphy film you'll love for the rest of your life after doing a reaction to it is, "Harlem Nights (1989)."
Eddie so GOATED for this movie, all of the roles he played was so top tier
I’m just concerned if your noodles are cooked all the way lol nice reaction
they definitely are lol and hot
i recommend to watch lean on me with morgan freeman
3:55 Ponytail? Girl, this is a braid, Akeem calls it his prince's lock, though...
The cookout and coming to america part 2
awesome movie. i thought queens when he said NY. the police escort was for the expensive package, that is an option. surprised no body knows that.
Yes, now look at Trading Places & Vampire In Brooklyn 🙏🏿
Eddie is the old White Guy too,Eddie plays 4 characters in this movie if you count the Prince
U should check out Beverly Hills cop before the new one 🎉
eddie is playing several parts in coming and arsenio hall is playing different parts as well.
22:34 let me find out MJ can sing 😏🤣
I hope you do know that Eddie played most of the characters in this movie!
Damnnnn how I forgot to recommend this
❤
Wassup MJ really enjoying all of your videos and reactions and can't wait for more videos 😊😊
mj you have to watch coming to America 2 after this.
You need to watch Eddie's Trading Places , 1983, first to get the two homeless white men ref in this 1987 movie
Now that you have watched this, Trading Places would be good.
Nyc baby 😂my home 😂
