60 of 183 · 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. 💔
positive · AI labelView post →JAMES EARL JONES We lost a LEGEND today. 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 ❤️

neutral · AI labelView post →Random question, does the movie “Coming to America” still hold up or is it gonna sucker punch you with something that wasn’t okay even back then?
neutral · AI labelView 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!
neutral · AI labelView post →I think it's amazing that Precious from The Silence of the Lambs was born in 1975. Truly one of the great late in life performances ever captured on film. 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.

Try and picture a multigenerational Slavic household replaying this movie a dozen times. Mom loved the barber shop boys

positive · AI labelView post →You need to make her the other 4 main characters in Steel Magnolias. She could have carried that movie like Eddie Murphy in Coming to America.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok so did NO ONE catch the fact that he said squirrel research in ZAMUNDA???? Zamunda is a FICTIONAL African country in the 1988 Eddie Murphy movie Coming to America!! This dude us stupid!
