"Uptown Saturday Night!" my favorite blaxploitation from the 70's. No one can forget the scene when those midgets come from beneath those sombreros on the gangsters heads, to shoot and kick Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby's ass!

Coming To America is untouchable

Eric La Salle was something else

If the Oscars were really legit Eddie should have won or at least been nominated for an Academy Award that year,I think he must have played like 8 different chatracters in "Coming".

Also the make-up artists should have gotten a special nod too.Especially for the sequence at the end.

@jett

I watched that movie in the states and again in the uk when it came over and till this day I have not witnessed any movie that has literally had people falling out of their seats laughingpeople had their drinks spilling out of their nose and nearly choking on their popcorn it is a classic.

I love it better than a fish called wanda

Coming to America

Fave quotes

Landlord: "Hey Stu, your rent's due, mother_f_ucker Now don't be pulling that falling down the stairs sh_it on me again, you hear! Now you conscious! Every month, the same damn thang."

(After discovering that Akeem works a pathetic job at a hamburger joint.)
King Jaffe: My son WORKS?!




But I think the Trading Places inside joke was hilarious. I only just got it the last time i watched comign to america and I've seen it god knows how many times beforehand

Also the untouchable John maos talkign about how he is scamming mcdonalds

I think its the only film I can watch over and over again and not get tired of- and believe me i get easily tired of films.lol.

Quotes

"so what kinda games do y'all play in Africa chase the monkey?"

"she's your queen to be...." (you know the song)

"anybody move ill blow your f***** head off"

Pure jokes. Classic
