Coming to America
An African prince decides it’s time for him to find a princess... and his mission leads him and his most loyal friend to Queens, New York. In disguise as an impoverished immigrant, the pampered prince quickly finds himself a new job, new friends, new digs, new enemies and lots of trouble. From TMDB

60 of 155 · most liked firstJames Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair were both Mufasa and Sarabi of course but also the king and queen of Zamunda from Coming to America, one of my favorite movies. Had to repost this today in honor of losing one of the best (and worst, looking at you Vader) movie dads ever. 💔

He played a king in many movies (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, COMING TO AMERICA, THE LION KING, & tbh DART VADER was kinda king figure) & he was a KING in the movie industry, an actors' actor, a Maestro, a Legend. Thank you, JEJ, Rest in Power ❤️

unlabelledView post →I wish they would be called out for misrepresenting what they're saying is waste, fraud, and abuse. Zamunda is a fictional place from the movie Coming To America. This guy was able to say we are spending millions of dollars on squirrels there without being checked. Do your job CNN!

Prior to that moment she starred in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Coming to America and The 'Burbs. I dare you to find a better filmography

She took old skirts from the film, tore them and dyed them purple....brand new The mask was put onto a football helmet and disguised.
