Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones and John Amos are all set to return.

I am surprisingly thrilled about this. Makes me want to go to the Golden Arcs for a Big Mick!

Don't see how that movie would work in the modern age. Lisa would just look up Zamunda on her smartphone and know who Akeem really is.

Given all the Kevin Hart bullshite for his comments about gays, how can Eddie Murphy ever work again...

Eddie Murphy Delirious should trigger the frick out of the snow flakes.

Im cautiously optimistic. The first one is perfection to me and i just have to separate this


I guess its better than never seeing those characters again

First post. MTV board is getting more efficient in bringing up the pre-outrage for issues they’ve created in their mind

Will Sexual Chocolate still be together or will Randy have set out on his own path?

I don’t see how this could possibly be worth a shite.

Yeah I just saw that Kenya Barris wrote the script.

Very very very hard pass.

Why?

The first movie was GREAT! Just let it stand. It's as funny today as it was 30 years ago.

This.

Plus how on earth are you going to come up with a storyline for a sequel? Jaffe Joffer is presumably still king since JEJ is still alive. Akeem is going to allow his son to choose his own bride, since he didn't want an arranged marriage for himself. Communications have developed enough to make the world far smaller, and Zamundans know a lot more about New York than they did in the 1980s. The new prince is going to have security requirements that didn't exist back then.

I can't think of any way it's going to work without major stretches. It's almost as bad an idea as the sequel to A Christmas Story.

Apparently the story is the Akeem is going to America to search for his long lost son.

This is going to be like Dumb and Dummer 2. So many people think they want it until they have it. Eddie Murphy is making this film as a cash grab because of how far his career is tanked, so motivation is for cash not making a good product. When a sequel is made this long after the original, it is an awful sign.
