Coming to America

Coming to America is a film starring Eddie Murphy as an African prince of a fictitious monarchic state called Zamunda. Zamunda is ruled by King Jaffe Joffer (played by James Earl Jones), and it is the home of Prince Akeem (Murphy) and his royal servant, Semmi (Arsenio Hall). Faced with the prospect of an arranged marriage to a woman he has never met, Akeem pleads with his father, the king, to be allowed to go to the United States to find a bride of his own choosing. His father misunderstands him, and believes that the prince wishes to 'sow his royal oats' before settling down with his arranged bride. The prince and his best friend set off to New York, and Akeem picks the area of Queens as the best place to look for potential brides. Murphy and Hall pretend to be African exchange students so that people will not treat them differently for their royalty. Eventually Murphy meets a girl that is the daughter of the owner of the fast food restaurant that he and his friend work at. It takes a while to win her over but he does and they fall in love. After she finds out who Murphy really is, she is at first upset that he lied. At the end, love prevails and the two are married as the new King and Queen. One part of the film has four old men discussing everything from boxers to how to go out with ladies. The Jewish white man is played by Eddie Murphy, despite huge questioning. Rick Baker is responsible for the fantastic make up effect to achieve this. The film was the subject of a lawsuit filed by Art Buchwald against the film's producers on the grounds that the film was taken from a script written by Buchwald. In Germany, the film was released as Der Prinz aus Zamunda. See also: List of movies - List of actors - List of directors - List of documentaries - List of Hollywood movie studios
