  • The trailer isn't very good, but the movie is.

  • Another one of my favorite movies, like they say "Dreams do sometimes come true or could it be me like you".

  • This movie was being filmed in Queens,While i was riding the train on my way to school,I saw them Filming this movie,They changed MCDONALDS on Queens BLVD to MC DOWRell"s or something it was quite funny,I met actress SHARI HEADLEY as i was her waitress at RED LOBSTER in Valley Stream in the 90's,SHARI HEADLEY was an actress on soap opera "ALL MY CHILDREN" she was a cop,She also appeared in a BLACKSTREET video called "BEFORE I LET YOU GO" with actor OMAR EPPS,The man who ripped up my phone number

  • This movie now reminds me of the background music in JAY'Z's track called "MURDER TO EXCELLENCE" Btw Rapper JAy-Z went to "AFRICA" to help the families in need of FOOD WATER and Shelter'JAY-Z followed an AFRICAN family on the trail to collect FRESH WATER for their Family to Eat Bathe and Drink,The trail was a very far distance from the home of the family but it was a daily routine,JAY-Z offered any assistence needed for this family and others in need in "AFRICA" I like "KENYA" & african DANCE.

  • Wow this trailer sucks dick.

  • ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES !!!

  • i love Akeemmmmmmmmm ^^ keke

  • see Little Senegal with Sotigui Kouyaté - it could have been called Coming To America. it has a lot of depth.

  • @thebigrene1972 I agree, man. Some of his best. I saw the trailer Tower Heist not too long ago, it reminds me a little how Eddie used to be. Which is refreshing from what he's played for the last few years.

  • this that HD?

  • Sigh...this was when Eddie was making good movies.

  • I used to like this back in 88. Saw it again just now, it was okay.

  • "He Helped Gilligan..Get off Da Island"

  • what i just realized is that mcdowell's is a spoof on america's fast food market/epidemic. what i thought was really funny was when they were outside the restaurant and i was thinking to myself "mcdonald's" and the real mcdonald's was scooping pictures and he ran him off. classic.

  • "good morning my neighbors!!!!"

    " 'ay fuck you!"

    "yes! yes! fuck you too!"

  • WHEN YOU THINK OF GARBAGE....THINK OF AKKEEM! :D

  • @Nagneto

    lmoa

  • Just curious...anybody ever wonder how this funny-ass classic (definitely one of Ed's top 3) movie would have turned out if they actually set it in Holly-weird (L.A.)? It most likely would've been too cliché, and that's why Queens (though I believe most of it was shot in the great borough of BK) was the final choice. But, could you imagine Akeem (Ed) & Semi (Arsenio) ending up in let's say Compton looking for a "queen"? That would've been wild! Lol... Great movie, man, great movie.

  • @BrooklynEagle LOL yeah that would've been a riot

  • man i remember this film shame eddie murphy doent do films like this anymore

  • dis movie shud b numba 1 4 eternity luv it so much

  • its a great movie! i watch it often, its a funny thing i just noticed, that the rich brothers in´Trading Places´ Randolf and Mortimer are the same people on the street when Akeem gives them money in a McDowel´s burger bag. its a funny thing :) watch Trading Places (1983) if you havent, another of Eddie Murphy´s good movies. he were best in the 80´s and the 90´s!

  • @coolakiIlen007

    Yeah that`s why he says Randolf we`re back lol

  • @LiveOpinion it is actually Randolf who says: ´Mortimer we´re back´ lol

  • Man, I love this movie but if I saw this trailer I'm not sure I'd be interested in watching the film!

  • Coming to America is a 1988 American comedy film directed by John Landis.

  • Great movie. You can't beat Eddie's old movies.

  • "Who the fuck is this asshole" LMAO

  • If I'm not mistaken i believe back when this movie was in theaters, there were trailers and promotions for it on Nickelodeon......yeah good idea..have promotions for an R rated movie on channel targeted towards people who aren't old enough to see them.

  • never get tired of this movie. :) I first saw it 20 years ago when I was 7 on a BetaMax player. brings back good memories. might buy a copy of this on DVD. :D

  • "Good morning my neighbors!"

    "Hey, fuck you!

    "YES! YESSS!! FUCK YOU TOOO!!!"

    Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaa

  • @lilchyna73 ´´Hey fuck you``? i never heard that, just ´´Good morning my neighbors, Yes yes fuck you too´´.. maybe sound failure in my movie :P

  • I was 8 or 9 when this trailer was on HBO, I love this movie so much...I'm 28 now and I own and watch this movie to this day... Never gets old! Just me...lol

  • @MrRacso9 Yeah me too

  • Love this movie :)

  • I have been a fan of Coming To America since '97 or '98ish. I just want to know how long have you guys been a fan of Coming To America.

    Coming To America is one of my favorite movies.

  • Love this movie! but in the European version the f-words aren't censored out

  • I love this movie!

    One of my favorites!

  • this film always makes me laugh whenever i watch it

  • One of the best movies ever.

  • the humour in this is fond

  • i'm watching this movie right now on abcfamily! do you know that the guy (john landis) who directed this film directed michael jackson's thriller? i didn't know he could make some really funny movies!

    arsenio hall & eddie murphy are great together!

  • @chieaa411 haha! i watched on abcfamily too! i never heard of this movie before, but when i saw directed by John Landis i had to stay and watch because of the whole thriller thing! now its my new favorite movie!

  • @the808T i never heard of this movie before either, but when i saw that eddie murphy and arsenio hall were in it, i just had to watch it. then after i watched it, i looked it up on wikipedia to see who directed it and was john landis! i was like, "cool" :-D

  • yes that was a really good film but now i don't like films from eddie murphie

  • hahaha rated R

    wow why that high

  • @jensssen i guess it was because of the breif nudity and swearing, apparently because of th MPAA permits only one use of a ''sexually derived'' expletive before the rating must be changed to R. i know its stupid but thats american rules for ya

  • @splint480 LOL when I saw it on dutch television it was rated 12+ XD

  • @jensssen Yes because the word Fuck is a household item LOL

    Nice movie!

  • not really funny

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • You think you have a higher IQ, however the reason you think so is probably because you have a lower IQ.

  • Yeah, majortom321, we know you took a shit in your pants, the smell comes through your comments

    Well you can think what you like. I don't particularly care for people like you. Why did you even bother commenting? No one cares for your opinion.
