Explorers:
The film was released in the United States on June 29, 1988, ultimately earning $289 million at the global box office.

Eddie Murphy plays Akeem Joffer, the crown prince of the wealthy African nation of Zamunda, who comes to the United States in the hopes of finding a woman he can marry.


Crown prince Akeem Joffer grows weary of his pampered lifestyle on his 21st birthday and wishes to do more for himself.

When his parents, King Jaffe and Queen Aeoleon, present him with an arranged bride-to-be, Akeem takes action.

Seeking an independent woman who loves him for himself and not his social status, Akeem and his best friend/personal aide, Semmi, travel to the New York City borough of Queens and rent a squalid tenement in the neighborhood of Long Island City under the guise of poor foreign students.

FORK U!

Yes yes...fuc.k you too

Emusan:


Waooooo she's still maintaining her lepar...at 55 I can still marry her.... explorer, help me do a research on how to submit a proposal.

You can still marry her? Just like that, without dating? You sound like you are doing her a favor by saying that. Well, American ladies are not crazy about being married. Over there, it's not a taboo to be single or divorced.

Explorers:
Frankie Faison (Mr. Townsend).


Mr. Townsend was Akeem's and Semmi’s landlord in Queens.

banshee. The OG bartender

jaxxy:


Lol I never noticed Cuba Gooding jr. in this film. Quite surprised

probably because he was just a kid back then.

Greatest movie

This movie ehn, I've seen it like a million times. A true classic!

Explorers:
Shari Headley (Lisa McDowell).



Lisa is the oldest daughter of Cleo McDowell.

Akeem instantly feels an attraction to her, but she has a boyfriend, Darryl Jenks, keeping them apart.

Once Lisa and Akeem start dating, he tells her that he comes from a poor family to make sure she loves him for him.



She's 55 years old now.

Still beautiful

Fine wine

James Earl Jones voice is legendary. This is CNN and mufasa in Lion King

This is news to me. He has a memorable voice, quite like Peter Cullen (Voltron/Optimus Prime)

GURION:






aka waka pass.

No wonder why I never knew he featured in this movie then.

Despise not the days of your humble beginnings.

Just knowing for the first time that Cuba was in that fil, and I have watched it a" "million times"

enemmo:


Madge Sinclair.

She died in 1995.

Coincidentally James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair (Akeems parents) also voiced Mufasa and Sarabii(King and Queen of Prideland) in Disneys Lion King

I knew about James Earl voiced Mufasa but never knew Medge Sinclair was the one that voiced Simba's mother. Oh, she's gone, who will now voice the live action Lion King movie.
