Fun Fact: James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair (Akeem's parents) played Simba's parents in the Lion King cartoon movie, before the actress died from cancer
I was going to post the same thing.
Holy shit dude i dint no she was serabi wow man🤤
I knew she was Sarabi by the sound of her voicr
@@RenegadeGunn you have a keen ear on that one man👍👍
I got James Earl Jones straight off but I was today years old when I found out this gem. I had no idea. Now thatr's cool, and I love the reference to Trading Places too. This film is a classic.
The callback to the Duke brothers from Trading Places was awesome.😂😂😂
Should check out Coming2America see what happens next involving the Dukes and weather or not they changed.
I love Madge Sinclair. Her voice and her presence. She was a queen for real 😍
And she had the most gorgeous skin
@@KCohere33 omg yes! I also love how both her and James Earl Jones played in the lion king as king and queen 😍
She was a timeless beauty
Me too!
@@ccrdcd38 oh yes 🙌🏻 they don’t make woman like that as much anymore, there’s some, but just not like this. Just a lovely class act may she Rest In Peace 🙏🏻💕
Did you guys watch the end credits? It shows all of the characters Eddie & Arsenio played, plus an extra scene at the barbershop.
Yeah.....I have a feeling that last scene in the barber shop got skipped. I know that when my friends and I saw it, we were absolutely blown away.
Best joke ever also
@@mattschliemann9683 "Ah......what do you know from funny, ya bastards!"😁
Yes, ya gotta watch the end credits!!
Where's the spoon?
Finally!!!
People who watch the movies Trading Places and Coming To America in the right order AND close enough together to get the full impact of the cameo AND haven't been spoiled on it beforehand!
Great job guys, you are awesome!!!
Best Regards!
Right..always watch it out of order..but at same time can't blame them since This movie is bigger so more likely people will see this first
Agreed! I've watched a few reactions to this movie, and this is the first reaction where they recognize the Dukes and the significance of the cameo. Well done!
Same!
Yes, unfortunately they missed a reference to Harlem Nights in the movie Life. It's the part where eddie is fighting gold mouth and he says i know an old b!*ch named Della that hit harder than you. Lol. I just assumed they hadn't seen it yet.
@@carladavis1473 it took me years to figure that out
“This is beautiful, what is that velvet?” Lmao 🤣
His Mom! His Mom understood him and had to be the positive influence that kept him humble
Aww, it would have been great to see you react to the credits showing how many characters each of them played in this movie. Please check out Vampire in Brooklyn - it's quite a good horror comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett.
IKR!? I hope they didn’t miss them.
Ah, lovely Ms. Basset, yes. Maybe we could get them to watch "Strange Days," too!
I was waiting for that part too.
Yes Vampire in Brooklyn ! So hilarious 😄😄
I was about to say the same thing. Haha
Fun fact - The tribal dance at the beginning was choreographed by a young, former LA Laker dancer named Paula Abdul.
"Learn to cook and clean " ABSOLUTELY! When I see parents who don't give their kids chores, I see it as a disadvantage for the child.
35:09 Every single person (who has seen both) knew that and kept it from you. Kudos community.
35:58 You won't hear that nowadays, he trained himself into a little chuckle that sounds fake now.
41:45 Did you spot all the characters he (and Arsenio Hall) played? Eddie: Akim, The black barber, the white jewish guy in the barbershop, the singer in Sexual Chocolate. Arsensio: Semmi, the black barber with the beard, the preacher and the gruesome woman in the club who said she was going to rip them both apart.
Eddie's old Jewish guy is absolute Gold!
She wasn't gruesome. Just ambitious.
Androgynous
That "McDowell's" was on Queens Blvd for months. Not knowing it was part of a movie, it seemed very strange for a "weird little McDonald's with no parking lot" to be situated in the middle of such a busy boulevard.
Check out Beverly Hills Cop, It's an all time Eddie Murphy classic.
1&2 are great 3 not so much
@@jdogjohnson9038 we pretend 3 dont exist even murphy hated it
I wholeheartedly agree with this recommendation! ::BHC theme already playing in my head on repeat::
@@TheMrfoxguy I have all 3 and only watch 1&2 3 wasn't to great.
I remember having this on VHS, lol. Great movie and one of Eddie's best.
I still have it on VHS 😆
Samuel L. Jackson admitted in a interview that during his performance of robbing the fast food joint he was high as a kite during that scene which probably made it so believable. 🤣
When you said you didn't know how he became so grounded, I give that award to his mom in the movie throughout she is always grounded and the voice of reason while his Dad is "traditional". Always reminds me of my parents.
Great point. Plus the fact that DNA sometimes skips a generation, i.e. grandparents.
"You see, my son, there is a very fine line between love and nausea."
Some people have grown up in the worst environment and might even have bad parents, yet can still have good morals. It's not always about good parenting, as there have been those who would otherwise be expected to be terrible people but still end up having a natural good sense of morality. Good parenting is obviously preferred but it isn't always responsible for good morals.
When you grow up you realize what you don't want to become
This is one of my all time favorite Eddie Murphy movies. It is such a classic and just about everyone I know and in my family knows this movie by heart!😂😂😂😂😂😂
What did you think of the sequel?
IMO, the sequel wasn’t great, but still a very enjoyable watch. And the number of great actors really helped in that respect.
@@NWAWskeptic Not as good as I hoped it would be.
@@tanyaperez4892 I agree. To be honest I didn’t like the whole he had a one-night stand retcon. In a way it kinda taints the first movie and the vibe of his first visit. I think I would have preferred it was a child of Arsenio Hall and the woman and Akeem went back as a friend to help find him or her and reconnected with the common man in America that way. Maybe more of John Amos as his guide and his drastic difference between he and James Earl Jones view on the world. It was just meh.
Can't believe ya'll missed the MULTIPLE roles played by Murphy & Arsenio!!!
I hope you find out that Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall play multiple characters throughout the film. All the guys in the barber shop - that's them. The drag-queen inviting Arsenio to get tamed, too. On and on.
I'm SO glad you guys did Trading Places first in order to get that reference, it makes that scene so great when you get it! 🤣
If you missed the end credits it's worth going back to watch
Aside from the fun fact that Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall played multiple parts in this movie -- including the Jewish guy in the barber shop, also played by Eddie), James Earl Jones was most famous for his voice role as Darth Vader in "Star Wars" and Mufasa in Disney's "The Lion King". Jones was the "it" voice long before Morgan Freeman came along. So many stars in their own right in this film. Thanks for a great movie choice and reaction! ✌💙✌
Fun Fact: Stu, the guy who fell down the stairs when they first got to their crappy apartment building, was played by Eddie's uncle Ray.
Uncle Ray was also in Harlem Nights as well.
@@therealmarlonbellamy
He was also Eddie Murphy's bodyguard, along with Charlie Murphy and Fruity.
The other barber sweets was a childhood friend of Eddie Murphy
To see eddie murphys depth of acting, you guys have to watch Dream Girls...the best acting hes ever done!!
I was very happy to see that you guys recognized the trading places reference. I was thinking as they showed them " it is a shame no youtuber recognizes these two or knows the story" and then YOU SAID IT! Yeah. Made me smile.
You'll LOVE "Cool Runnings" and it's based on a true story. Please react to it next. 🙏
An all time favorite of mine. They don't make films like this anymore!
Vlad Tepes: Yeah, movies nowadays don't always have that Soul Glow. It doesn't always shine through. haha
Best. Intro. Ever.
"WHATS UP FUCKFACES!" should be the new tshirt.
That’s what I said before I read this comment 🤣🤣🤣
I regret that I have only 1 thumbs up to give this comment
Eddie Murphy deserves and honorary Oscar just for all the characters he played in this movie
A friend and I always joke about Samuel L. Jackson being in every damn movie (nothing against him, I love seeing him, but I swear he is everywhere 😄 I bet he is even in the background in every movie that is made), and we just joked about it again a day before I rewatched this movie after AGES not seeing it, and I couldn't stop laughing when Samuel L. Jackson entered the scene. I totally forgot about him being in it. So great. The movie in general is great.
Yes reminds me of the old 6 degrees of kevin bacon game. I'm certain Samuel L. Jackson could be the center connective peice between everyone in Hollywood
It was 1 of his 1st roles
The cameo caught everyone off guard, loved it! The tv friendly version is more condensed without all the swearing. I'm glad you watched the full movie. Love the dancing in the beginning, too.
You missed calling out Louie Anderson the cashier at McDowell's. Cleanliness is valuable to survival, especially with COVID but if you're not sanitary in the wilderness, a cut/scrape can take you out, contaminate food and drink. Cleanliness is necessary
When Eddie pitched the movie they refused to finance a movie with an all black cast. He cast Louie to be able to say it wasn't an all black cast
A Vampire In Brooklyn needs to be next more Eddie Murphy let's keep it coming
I hope all fans of the TV show "ER" recognized Darrell Soul Glow as Dr Peter Benton from the first seasons of the show. Also, the choreographer for the opening dance sequence was Paula Abdul.
I always wanted some soul glow for my beard.
Eriq Lasalle’s first movie was this movie called Rapping with Mario Van Peebles & Kadeem Hardison.
Once a week I say "Damn shame what they did to that dog." This probably the most quotable movie of all time.
Lol! My kids are probably tired of hearing me say “Just make it nice and neat” in response to many things. 🤣
As soon as I saw you guys watch Trading Places I was waiting for this reaction. So Glad I got to see y'alls reaction to the Dukes cameo
Eddie and Arsenio are playing all the characters in the barber shop. Eddie is most of them including the old Jewish guy! They also play many other characters- Arsenio is the creepy preacher.
And Eddie is Sexual chocolate and Arsenio the trans women that wants to tear them both apart. Lol
Reverend Brown is a badass! "I don't know what YOU come to do, but...IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII come to PRAAAISE the Name!!!😂
I'm so happy no one spoil it for you guys, I wanted to see your surprise expressions. love it.
The energy in every video is phenomenal 😂❤️
Randolph and Mortimer. The single greatest cameo in movie history. EVERYONE reacts just the way you two did.
The entire Black awareness rally segment is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Got introduced to this movie by my sister and for her birthday a few years back I got her a Randy Watson Sexual Chocolate 1988 tour t shirt
Where’d you get that from?
I've seen this movie a hundred times but still laughed my ass off watching along with you guys!!! omg the part where Akeem is walking thru Queens at night singing To Be Loved and getting cussed out by multiple people from multiple directions but keeps singing at the top of his lungs just KILLS me!!! This is one of my all-time favorite comedies!! No one does better movie reactions than you guys, always always entertaining and hilarious!! Love your doggies by the way AWWWWW!!!!
All of the characters in the barbershop scenes except for 2 were played by Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. Great makeup artists. Eddie even played the old Jewish man...lol
Eddie Murphy had a lot of success in the 80s and 90s with both action and comedy. His voice acting is pretty good too.
And his music career - everyone loved his song Party All The Time because it sounded like Potty All
The Time
My son just died laughing. I forgot I didn't have my headphones in when I started the video. He heard the very beggining of your intro and just keeled over laughing. He's 10 and thinks people cursing is the funniest thing in the world. #momoftheyear
There's a channel called Crime Pays, but Botany Doesn't. Dude's Italian, from Chicago, and curses like he's breathes. He talks about Botany mostly and touches on just about anything that affects the plants. I laugh and learn there. :D
Well it is
He will go far.
@@celiashen5490 Thank you for the info. I'll have to check it out
@@LA_HA My pleasure.
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
Stop right there!
Now listen.
Wait one minute
A man goes into a restaurant. Are you listening
A man goes into a restaurant, and he sits down. He's havin' a bowl of soup and he says to the waiter, “waiter come taste the soup.”
Waiter says, “Is something wrong with the soup?”
“Taste the soup.”
Waiter says, “Is there something wrong with the soup? Is the soup too hot?”
“Will you taste the soup?”
Waiter says, “What’s wrong, is the soup too cold?”
“Will you just taste the soup?!”
Waiter says, “Alright, I’ll taste the soup - where’s the spoon?”
Aha. Aha! …
Ahhh, whadda you know from funny ya bastards.
Did you guys know Eddie played 4 characters in this movie? (Akeem, the main barber & Jewish guy, and Randy Watson) Arsenio also played 4 characters (Semi, Barber, girl at the club & the sleazy pastor)
Y’all are watching a Classic movie in the Black Community 👏🏾❤️
I thought that until i worked with white people and found out EVERYONE knows and loves this movie
All communities
@@AyeItsGabo Omg here goes “All lives matter” Please STFU .. This movie is a STAPLE in black communities for several reasons
@@CeCebetterCCme20 it's a staple in all communities for reasons... why you gotta go racial tho? Lame af
@@AyeItsGabo Yup. Hispanic here and we would always watch this at our house or our cousins house whenever it would come on. I didn’t even see it as a “Black movie” until idiots here made it about race.
You guys didn't notice how many characters Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall played
Eddie played the two of the guy's arguing in the Barbershop
and Arsenio was the other one
Arsenio was the woman in the bar
Arsenio was the rpreacher who introduced Randy Watson to the stage,who was also Eddie
You guys definitely have to watch
Coming To America 2
Which came out last year
I am slightly upset they didn't watch the ending credits to realize all the characters played by *Eddie Murphy & Arsenio Hall*
80s and 90s eddie Murphy is amazing
Love these reactions! You guys gotta watch Boomerang. Eddie plays a charming, but womanizing advertising executive who gets the tables turned in him. Another all-star cast! (Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, Halle Berry, Robin Givens, Eartha Kitt, John Witherspoon). Keep up the great vids!
Yes
Good one!!
Don't forget Grace Jones.
The soundtrack was fire too.
@@ArgosySpecOps True!
"Vampire in Brooklyn" please since we doing Eddie Murphy lol.
Definitely
I see your vampire in Brooklyn and raise you a ."golden child"
Yesss!!
@@mattymoowhite 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Remember him quoting Nietzsche? Akeem was a bibliophile and into philosophy.
Just a little fun fact. The mother and father of Akeem are the same people that played Simbas parents on the Lion king
Telling you now. Nothing cheers me up more then you two. Thanks for this reaction 🥺😂
A true classic! Love seeing all the great stars. One of my fav parts besides "Trading Places" was the end credits where you see ALL the parts Eddie & Arsenio play.
Less than 20 seconds in, I’ve already had to re-start the video twice b/c I’m laughing too hard.. If the rest of the reaction is even half as entertaining as the intro, it’s going straight to S-tier for me!
Love this eddie murphy movie such nostalgia🍿
Curtis when Oha starts singing: "What can't this "effer" do" 🤣😂🤦♀️
One of my favorite movies. I watched this so much as a child. And I taught both of my son's how to cook. Lol
You two need to watch Eddie Murphy 'Raw', his live performance. For real, react to that. 👍🤣 You will die laughing
As for arranged marriages, you two might look at a film (musical) called "A Fiddler On The Roof." Also, bear in mind that in many societies, children are or were considered chattels of their parents -- basically, speaking livestock or slaves, until, in the case of a boy, he reached the age of consent, or in the case of a girl, she was married (and became a chattel of her husband).
Also, I've heard, that a much higher percentage of arranged married couples stay together, than they do in non-arranged marriages.
@@sparky6086 I have heard that too, though never seen any statistical analysis.
Great movie. Fun fact. Gwen Stefani sampled the song from that for "If I was a rich girl!" 🌞
@@sparky6086 I mean, why wouldn't they? If you didn't bail before it happened you're likely not the kind to bail after. What kept you from doing the former will keep you from doing the latter. Marriage isn't really a necessity nowadays, so you're better off living together until you realise that's what, and whom, you really want to be with. Be kind, be honest, be respectful and you're doing a better job than most. That's enough to make a partnership last beyond passion, if that's your ultimate goal.
@@Palmieres Because the assumption is, that with arranged marriages, the two people in question may not have even known one another, or if they did, they may not have liked each other. With non-arranged marriages, it's assumed, that the two people got married, because they were in love.
as for the original music, at 14:22, Eddie Murphy's officially released song "I Got It" is featured in the film. it was from his 1988 album So Happy.
A Low Down Dirty Shame (kennan Waynes) A CLASSIC MOVIE and The GOLDEN CHILD
Dudes. don't miss out on The Golden Child" no one has reacted to it and it's one of Eddie's best.
THE DUKES - I'm so glad you got that. And all the parts Eddie and Arseno - The barber shop, the reverend and the Randal Watson. This is the origin of the mic drop!!! Sexual Chocolate. This movie spurred so many cultural references. Trading Places. All that stuff. This movie is THE BEST!!!! Thanks for the reaction. "Just let your Soul Glow!" "Dottie, get 'im!" - "Try the LazyBoy™" - Hilarious!!!!
Having the two actors from Trading Places back in this movie was Eddie Murphy's thank you for doing Trading Places despite him just starting out acting.
The whole setup of Coming to America never gets old 🥺🥰🤭😩 I love your guys break down 👏👏👏👏👏❤️🔥
Man, I love watching along with you guys.
We love having you watch along with us :)
26:37 😂 That's the reaction I was waiting for.
James Earl Jones Aka Darth Vader aka Mufasa such a legend turned 91 yesterday
I fucking love this channel. When y’all gone do The Player’s Club though? Lol
This movie never gets old.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, and I'm so happy you guys got to it! Not sure if you realized that all the men in the barber shop are Eddie and Arsenio in costumes.
Obviously so are some of the women at bar, and the rev and randy in the charity event.
There's a sequel that came out last year, not as brilliant as this one, but really good.
You guys keep making my day! Really fun to watch things with you. You make me laugh. Thank you!!
Eddie Murphy had the first mic drop of all time.
Sorry, that was Randy Watson who dropped the mic 🎤😂
This is my family's favorite movie. Every generation can sit down and watch this film over and over again without getting tired. Such a classic!
He's a royal, so most likely he attended boarding school in Europe and was exposed to new ways of thinking. This would be a plausible reason for his new set of values.
Seems pretty counterproductive for an African prince to be educated in Europe. Must be a universe in which colonization didn't happen. 😂
@@LadyAstarionAncunin it's actually the norm for elites from other countries to study in the West. Many if not most of African, Asian, and Latin American heads of state and government have studied university in the West and they also send their children to those same places. Even Kim Jong Un studied in the West
It's early in the video *Eddie* just had his haircut at the barber. I'm waiting for them to realize how many characters *Eddie Murphy & Arsenio Hall* play
Eddie is a genius, this is the first movie where he played multiple roles. One fun fact is his mother in the movie Madge Sinclair and Lisa's father John Amos were both in the popular mini series Roots earlier in their careers.
Finally, someone has done the perfect intro!!! LOL!
I love your videos! Please do Harlem Knights!! Since you’re doing Eddie Murphy…..it’s one of his funniest!
We've actually done Harlem Knights already, it was quite a while ago though lol
This movie came out the year I was born so it definitely was a staple in my household growing up, this movie is so quotable too LOL and definitely one of my top 10 movies of all time. So I was totally waiting on this reaction and you guys did not disappoint!
Likewise. '88 babies unite! lol I see so many articles and such talking about Millenials and they always reference the '90s babies. We may have been born in the '80s, but we are '90s kids. I remember Street Sharks, Biker Mice From Mars, Bobby's World, Mighty Max, Inspector Gadget. I went to the theater to see Jurassic Park! I remember some woman talking to my mom, questioning her about her decision to let me see this movie at my age. Without missing a beat I was the first to reply with this, "Dinosaurs are dead, silly!"
@@DraggorLecanth INSPECTOR GADGET!!! Why did I forget about such amazingness?!
35 years of this classic comedy 🎈🎈🎊🎉1988-2023
Thanks for making that point about learn to cook and clean. Actually, shout out to my lovely mother(Sunny) for teaching my bro and I at an early age; how to do laundry, clean the house, cook, and do dishes. And, her thing in life was to “go for it” & “don’t give up”…love you mom!
Eddie plays a few of the characters which makes this so great
Please watch “Vampire in Brooklyn “ it’s Eddie Murphy like you never seen him before . Hilarious and creepy !
So I just caught this earlier this year, did anyone else notice that both twins said “Teresa and I”, LOL only one twin should have the name Teresa!! This movie literally gets funnier as time goes by!!
Stoked you watched these in the correct order!!! You’ll get the cameo joke!😂🤣
The two greatest words ever spoken in any movie ever= "SEXUAL CHOCOLATE"!!
At the 7:00 minute mark, when you both did 😳😳. I fucking lost it.
🤣🤣🤣
This movie was a tour de force for Eddie Murphy. He played 4 different distinct characters.
I loved your reaction when the woman in the bar said that she has a secret and you looked just like the two of them 🤣🤣 i love your videos. you two are so cool and kind!!! keep it up 👍👍👍😄✌️
eddie Playing all those characters in the barbershop was pretty funny, He even played that Jewish guy
And the singer! (Sexual Chocolate)!😁
There are cheap comedies and there are classic comedies. Examples of cheap comedies are Michael Tiddes's movies and then there's classics like Talladega Nights, Coming to America, The Other Guys, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? They're comedies that actually put in the work.
Absolutely love O Brother. Fantastic music too.
THE LOOKS AT 14:34 ARE CLASSIC!!!!!!!! "I WORSHIP THE DEVIL" THE WAY YALL LEANED IN HAHAHAHAHA HAD ME DYING
Semmi is played by Arsenio Hall, who would later have his own talkshow the following year. The landlord Frankie Faison also played the police chief in white chicks. The cabby is played by fitness guru Jake Steinfeld who is also Hailee Steinfeld’s uncle. Cuba Gooding Jr appears as a customer getting his haircut in his first film role.
I loved you guys' reaction when Hakeem gave the money to Randolph and Mortimer😁
I always wish they would have made Trading Places 2 after Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy's cameo.
Fun Fact: The King and Queen are the voices of Simbas parents in Lion King
Im surprised you didn’t catch the Mcdowell McDonalds thing. A McDonalds redid their building to Mcdowells as a throw back recently. It was an epic.
