UN Spacy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 IMHO the original (1988) is of my favorite comedies of all time. We'll see where this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy: they're all getting old now, and they need some $$ comin' in. Well, 'cept maybe James Earl Jones; he's probably like: "nah, screw that, I'm good.

Dynaman Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'd be inclined to see this, the title is easy "Coming Back to America" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I guess I didn't mind the original but I haven't watched it for a good 25 years! might have to re-watch it.. not sure how well a sequel would work. Geez can't they just come up with more original content rather than making crappy sequels or reboots!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convectuoso Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Sequels, reboots and remakes are ruining lots of movies we have good memories of. It's hard to find new ideas on movies nowadays Edited March 17, 2017 by Convectuoso Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddsun1 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) 11 hours ago, Hikuro said: but got stuck due to the travel ban. Hah! Good one. IIRC, Eddie stated in an interview--as an explanation as to why we've seen so little from him in recent years--that he "didn't want to do anything else that sucked." Here's hoping that he feels pretty good about the quality and chances of this project--if it moves forward. on a side note: if you haven't seen them before, I'd recommend youtubing Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. Mind you, not [just] the Chapelle Show skits, but Charlie's taped interviews. OMFG, that cat is f'in hilarious.

no3Ljm Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Coming 2 America is now an Amazon Prime Video release coming March 5, 2021. Too bad we're not going to see Cuba this time around. Coming 2 America. Set after the events of the first film, former Prince Akeem Joffer (Eddie Murphy) is set to become King of Zamunda when he discovers he has a son he never knew about in America – a street savvy Queens native named Lavelle (Jermaine Fowler). Honoring his royal father's (James Earl Jones) dying wish to groom this son as the crown prince, since Akeem and Lisa’s daughter is ineligible to take over the throne since Zamundan law says that it has to be a male heir to take the throne. Akeem and Semmi (Arsenio Hall) set off to America once again. Edited December 30, 2020 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeleader1 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Five bucks this film ends with Akeem rewriting Zamundan law to let his daughter take the throne, he is the king after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my guess the instant I read it too. But the original was all about the journey and not the destination and hopefully this one is like that too.
