Coming to America is definitely one of Eddy Murphy’s best movies, ever. In it, you can basically find everything : adventure and confrontation with adversity, culture clash, royals, a love story, an intelligent critique of the place of African Americans in American culture and society and, above all, great jokes.
When I think of Action Bronson, a native of Queens, I think of, in a fucked up/absurd kinda way, Coming to America. Why? Eddy Murphy and Arsenio Hall decide to settle in New York to find a wife for Eddy Murphy (an African prince). But where, oh, where could they settle in? 1980′s QUEENS.
That’s just the beginning of the story (leaving aside hilarious moments at the beginning of the movie).
Anyways, here’s good old Action Bronson. A few words to ponder: “I got the voice to make the ladies moist.”
