A classic that is a shining light for Eddie Murphy and others. A must watch! Be sure to catch Coming to America 2, thirty years later.

One of Eddie's best! With the addition of an excellent cast (James Earl Jones, John Amos, and Madge Sinclair) along with Arsenio Hall and Cuba Gooding, Jr. As a pampered Prince arriving from Africa Eddie learns the ways of America.

GREAT MOVIE . . . TERRIBLE BLU RAY
J. Webber | 04/29/2010
(1 out of 5 stars)

"ATTN: THE POOR RATING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIE ITSELF. The transfer is HORRIBLE. Really, it's like watching the DVD on a regular projection TV. I own the DVD and can definitively say that there is NO difference between the Blu ray and DVD. That's just terrible and I wish I hadn't spent my money on this release."
