"Black Panther is Coming to America" - A Funny Or Die Parody Remix


So this is pretty darn hilarious, IMHO. Reviving my memories of Eddie Murphy in 1988’s “Coming To America” (underrated as far as I am concerned), re-edited+remixed with Marvel’s upcoming BLACK PANTHER film, resulting in this “Black Panther is Coming to America” trailer, featuring somewhat similar “accents” - where once it might have been used for “comedic effect”, but now used as a serious reflection of the character’s heritage.

Scroll down further to see the “original” trailers for both films!


WHAT-IS: Coming to America is a 1988 American romantic comedy film directed by John Landis and based on a story originally created by Eddie Murphy, who also starred in the lead role. The film also co-stars Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones, Shari Headley, and John Amos. The film was released in the United States on June 29, 1988. Eddie Murphy plays Akeem Joffer, the crown prince of the fictional African nation of Zamunda, who comes to the United States in the hopes of finding a woman he can marry.” (Wiki)
