The late great Madge Sinclair who portrayed Queen Aoleon here in Coming To America was born in…wait for it, Kingston 🇯🇲. She also portrayed the Queen, Simba’s mother in the Lion King. Being a kid when this movie came out, I was so happy when Ms. Sinclair appeared onscreen because she was a big deal in my household. It’s at least touching to know that she will forever be linked with a movie that is so beloved.
Both Madge Sinclair and John Amos were married in 🎥Roots which touches my heart. A bit too epic for the lovely ladies to watch publicly (aka this platform) but still 🥰🥰🥰
If I am not mistaken. Madge Sinclair, was in roots, with John Amos, who played Lisa‘s father. John Amos played the part of Kunta Kinte and I’m pretty sure Madge Sinclair played his wife in the movie roots
You're absolutely right, first you ask the girl if she wants to marry you and then get permission from father. I'm glad you laughed the first few minutes, I love Eddie Murphy.
This was one of the movies I watched countless times growing up, before the age of streaming services we had to record movies that aired on VHS tapes 😊 I just love the tireless positivety that Akeem has, no matter what anyone says to him or whatever he experiences 😂
One of the absolute BEST comedies of ALL TIME! I love this movie, seen it probably hundreds of times, never gets old. I knew you two would like this film, I mean everyone does, you can’t help but to like it.
When this fantastic movie 1st came out someone told me it wasn't good & not to waste my money on it. I saw it later on & realized I had should have went to see it anyway.
So, despite your "we don't laugh a lot" caveats at the beginning of the video, you two did laugh a lot at this movie. 😁😁 That speaks well for the film.
Eddie Murphy was one of the biggest and best performers back in the 80's. This movie, along with "Trading Places", "48 hours", "The Golden Child" or "Beverly Hills Cop" are really amazing movies. This and "Trading Places" are 2 of the best comedies ever (imo)
45:57 "This is America, Jack! Now you say one more word about Lisa, here, and I'm gonna break my foot off in your Royal Ass!" John Amos as Lisa's dad was so great. This movie is one of the great comedies of all-time. The multiple characters Eddie and Arsenio played were amazing. I still have to pause from laughing at the neighbors reactions when Eddie is singing after their date.
Lisa's dad wasn't really being flirtatious with others wives, at least not for real. It is a common practice here to compliment a man's "better half" by saying how lovely she looks, or "mistaking" her for her daughters sister, etc.. It's a little cheesy, but traditionally one is supposed to show special deference to a man's wife, especially if they are an older couple, by commenting on her youthful appearance.
Dear Ladies,thanks a lot for your first-class channel and great,amazing reactions! I really appreciate it! Warm greetings from the Central Europe. Have a nice,pleasant time and take care,please.
Lisa's Father (John Amos) and the Queen Eddie Murphy's Mother played on Roots back in 1977. John's Character was Kunta Kinte and she (the Queen on this movie) was his wife Bell on Roots. Great reaction video!
My favorite Eddie Murphy movie growing up, next it’s tie between The Golden Child and Beverly Hills Cop 2, and my guilty pleasure is The Adventures of Pluto Nash!!
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.
You mentioned The Lion King, well, the King (James Earl Jones) and Queen (Madge Sinclair) in this movie also played Simba's parents (King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi) in The Lion King animated movie.
Mr. Sol Glo throwing the milkshake on Akeem was hilariously funny. Akeem got to see what it felt like to be a nobody. That was a great scene by both actors. He threw the milkshake like it was the proper way of disposing of it. And you could see in Akeem's demeanor how small that act made him feel.
In case she didn’t notice that man who plays the king, is James, Earl Jones, who is also the voice of Darth Vader from Star Wars and also a lion on the lion King, as well as several other movies
I had to laugh when you guys kinda apologized for not laughing much. It’s involuntary, these guys are great together you can’t help but laugh. Glad you enjoyed it so much.
The makeup for this film was overseen by the legendary Rick Baker. Baker and Eddie Murphy would go on to collaborate on several more projects. I am a professional makeup artist, myself (nowhere NEAR that level; local stuff. But I know what to appreciate!!) The makeup for Eddie as Saul- the old Jewish white guy in the barber shop- is one of my top favorite makeups of all time. Just fantastic.
13:14 "We will take the room." This room is a _crime_ scene. _Analysts_ should be pouring over it. Now, obviously, those analysts are not _done,_ or it wouldn't have the _markings_ of a crime scene anymore.
Hey guys great reaction! I discovered your channel last month and subscribed, you guys vibe off each other pretty well. The father was a bit too flirtatious LOL as far as the last scene, the queen did look at him first. And the King already admitted he sleeps with the bathers, so I wouldn't be surprised if she does her thing as well 🤣
Check out the movies New Jack City(1991), Boomerang(1992), Harlem Nights(1989), The Nutty Professor(1996), Boyz n the Hood(1991), and House Party(1990).
This is one of the most quotable movies of all time. Here are some sad facts: King Joffy Joffer played by James Earl Jones just passed away recently & the queen played by the late Madge Sinclair is deceased as well. They both did voiceovers in The Lion King as well. James Earl Jones has the most iconic voice in history. 2:44
You two need to go back and watch you reactions. Never laugh, huh? You laughed a million times. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. BTW, I always love your reactions. Truly bright reactors. You to are never lost and always “get it”.
Another good reaction. Subbed. May I make some possible movies for you to react to? Uncle Buck, Breakfast Club, Caddyshack, The Exorcist, The Mummy, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, The Terminator I & II, Rocky I-IV, Jurassic Park I and II, and Silence of the Lambs. You'd probably love all of them.
Eddie and arsenio are all the characters in the barber shop and church! Recognize the 2 old guys from Trading Places! Cuba Gooding Jr getting his hair cut! Samuel Jackson is the robber! White guy Louie Anderson working the counter, one of the funniest comedians ever! The dad was the dad in TV show Good times! The king is James Earl Jones, voice of Darth Vader!
McDowell (aka John Amos) and Queen Eolion (I don't know the name of the actress) played Kunta Kinte and his wife in the legendary iconic Tv Series "Roots"😂
Really, until now I never knew that Vanity had any sisters. But I had never given it any thought either. Anyway that is some interesting info. I will have to rewind back and see how much they favor.
@@justindenney-hall5875 The thing is I probably saw her on The Arsenio Hall Show when she was on there with Vanity. I just looked at that segment and it looked familiar. I probably have forgotten it.
So, they actually got married and have a few kids, who are all grown by now. At the time they bought a nice house down by the "pocket area" which has a few gated communities and by the Sacramento river. She was home most of the time, but Eddie was always in Los Angeles making movies. So, they split up. More recently Eddie used to own a big mansion up by Folsom Lake. It was about 10,000 sq.ft. Eddie didn't spend very much time there and that house was recently sold also. Yeah, nice house. Grand foyé. Chandeliers. Large pool. Nice. All true. 🤓
Correction...Daryll the boyfriend doesn't own SloFlo the Company....His Parents do. So in that term...Daryll is not the one that is rich in that sense....its is Parents...whether its his father that owns it or his mother. The movie didnt made it clear....but, yeah. Awesome Reaction tho.😊😊😊😊
Not related to this movie, but an interesting story, Sarah Culberson was born in West Virginia and adopted by a professor at West Virginia University and his wife. It wasn't until she became an adult that she learned that she was a Sierra Leonean princess.
34:56 I think it's because he came to America with it in mind to find someone he loves for her who would love him for him... not what he could give her. Like her sister would 38:00 Such is the search for selfless love :)))
Usually watching Trading Places before Coming to America helps to catch the connection in the scene with the two homeless men. But still you should go back and watch Trading Places.
Another brilliant 80's movie, Eddie Murphy plays I think 4 or 5 parts in this movie. Another brilliant Eddie Murphy movie is Metro, and a brilliant James Earl Jones movie, is Best of the Best. 2 that you should watch.
Great and fun reaction. Love your comments and analysis on films. know you both want to be the ones throwing rose petals…lol 😂. Jyn is the perfect combination of gorgeous and sexy.
Here is the inside joke: in the 1976 mini-series about slavery, John Amos (Mr. McDowell) was married to Madge Sinclair (the Queen). John Amos played the adult Kunta Kinte who, as a young man was kidnapped in Africa and sold into slavery in America. he married Belle, who was played by Madge Sinclair. in the mini-series, it followed the family from slavery to freedom after the Civil War. James Earl Jones (who played the king) was in the sequel mini-series - which traced the family from the end of the original series all the way to the descendant who traced his ancestry back to Africa. James Earl Jones played the author of the book written about the family, Alex Haley. the name of the book, and the mini-series, is Roots.
Oh by the way girls those two Old Bums getting the money from Akeem(Eddie Murphy) you should react to the movie Trading Places A Movie where Eddie Murphy Plays a bum and Dan Ackroyd Plays a rich man and someone in the middle they find out they’ve been tricked and during the movie you’ll realize their both connected then you will realize you two should have seen trading places first then coming to america last
The Queen is played by Jamaican actress Madge Sinclair ☺️ May she rest in peace
It's funny, you should mention "Lion King" since Akeem and Simba have the same parents.
The parents were played by James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair in both movies.
I've never thought of that. I did for James Earl Jones but not Madge Sinclair. Also Coming to America came out 6 years before The Lion King movie.
@@beaujac311 Which is probably why they were cast for the Lion King?
DUHHH Y'ALL GOOGLE WANNABES ALWAYS THINK Y'ALL KNOW EVERYTHING
😐
The Robber of that fast food restaurant Is Samuel L. Jackson’s First Role and became a superstar from that point on! MIND BLOWN!!!
I thought Jungle Fever was?? He was too funny in that; nailed being a crackhead 🤣🤣🤣
He was in "Godfellas" way before this movie. Anyway, he's amazing as always :D
The King and Queen (James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair) were also the voices of Simba's parents in The Lion King :)
All please support this channel. These two have the best reactions and comments. Greatest reactors on UA-cam.

You guys are the first people I've ever seen that have shown concern for Patrice's feelings with this movie
It's weird, because Patrice was a ho3 lol. And she was very rude to sleep when she thought he wasn't a prince.
One of the best movie comedies ever...An outstanding movie....Great cast.
haha, the cast is 80% Eddie Murphy
80% Eddie and Arsenio, but there are other cast members that I like.@@tisdue

A bit easier when you have tons of money at your disposal.
We named our dog Velvet because of this movie.

@@CChissel: He ended up doing 20 years in prison for manslaughter.
@@freebirdallen holy shit! Lesson learned, if they have bad taste in movies, steer clear, might kill you. But for real, that’s crazy.
the homeless men he gave the cash to are characters from a previous movie they did together. Trading Places
So, despite your "we don't laugh a lot" caveats at the beginning of the video, you two did laugh a lot at this movie. 😁😁 That speaks well for the film.

I used to love him in "Good Times"
@@TampaCEOIn 1973 when I was 10 and Good Times was my favourite show, John Amos scared the shit out of me.
*😄 YOU BOTH LAUGHED A LOT 😁. GREAT REACTION, GREAT MOVIE*
“Just let your Soul Glo. Just let it shine through.”
Feeling all so silk and smooth just let it shine through yeah 😂😂😂❤😅😊 just let you're soullllll glow 🌟

Yes. It is called making your company feel at home.
"Trading Places" is connected to this film. It came out a few years prior and is definitely worth the watch.
Mortimer and his brother are the homeless guys on the bridge.
Yes, at 34:58.
The most amazing thing about all that, is that none of them recognize Billy Ray Valentine XD
35:17 those two old men characters are from another, earlier film with Eddie Murphy-- check it out: Trading Places(1983)
YES! This movie was a huge part of my childhood.
You have to watch Trading Places now. This movie has a brief scene that's a follow-up to the plot in that one. 👀😉
fun fact: akeem's father and mother are also the royal voices of MUFASA AND SARABI
Such lovely ladies! 🥰🥰🥰
20:00 lol he didn't sanitize his hands... hahahahaha
Welcome to the 80's. What does not kill ya makes you stronger.
Dear Ladies,thanks a lot for your first-class channel and great,amazing reactions! I really appreciate it! Warm greetings from the Central Europe. Have a nice,pleasant time and take care,please.
You both laughed several times which made me so very happy 🤣🌠😊

My favorite Eddie Murphy movie growing up, next it’s tie between The Golden Child and Beverly Hills Cop 2, and my guilty pleasure is The Adventures of Pluto Nash!!
Eddie and Arsenio played most of the extra characters! Eddie was the old Jewish man😊
You two are adorable- subbed!
This has been and will probably remain one of my favorite movies ever
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.
Before you gave your caveat about laughing, I knew you would love this movie. You can't help, but laugh. This movie is a comedy classic!
If yall haven't seen Harlem nights yet its really funny
You in beautiful curly hair is so smart. You always figure out things before most other reactors. Both of you - keep up the great work! 👍😊
That was awesome, one of my favorite Eddie Murphy films.
Taste the soup. Ok where's the spoon? aaaahhhhhaa! Ahhhhaaaa. Ahhh what do you know from funny, ya bastid!
The burger phone was the best, I wish they had a cell phone version. I’d get a flip phone if it was a slider.
You mentioned The Lion King, well, the King (James Earl Jones) and Queen (Madge Sinclair) in this movie also played Simba's parents (King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi) in The Lion King animated movie.
All characters in barber shop and church are
Played by Eddie Murphy a few Arsenio Hall.
And the white Jewish guys Eddie too
13:39 Love The Upbeat And Positivity Akeem Is Letting Out.
Great job once again Ladies. 👍🇺🇸🌹🌹

Still one of my favorites. Still haven't seen part 2 yet.
Need to watch trading places so you can see the connection.
Another brilliant 80's movie, Eddie Murphy plays I think 4 or 5 parts in this movie. Another brilliant Eddie Murphy movie is Metro, and a brilliant James Earl Jones movie, is Best of the Best. 2 that you should watch.
