Coming to America (1988)

Already a SNL standout and a stand-up comedy god, Eddie Murphy proved he had the chops to be a box office sensation with his legendary comedy Coming to America (1988). The third biggest movie of 1985, Murphy plays Prince Akeem Joffer, a wealthy African prince from the fictional nation of Zamunda that's looking for love. In order to avoid the arranged marriage customary in his country, Akeem heads to America with his servant buddy Semmi (Arsenio Hall) to find a queen who likes him for him (not because he looks like Tyson Beckford, with the charm of Robert Redford, etc). Since his African prince status doesn't mean much to the people of NYC, soon enough Akeem is working at a knockoff McDonalds called McDowell's, living in a rundown apartment, and competing with heir to the Soul Glo fortune Darryl (Eriq La Salle) for a woman named Lisa's (Shari Headley) love. Will Akeem continue chasing love in the USA or come back to Zamunda for the moola? From the barbershop boxing debate to the appearance of a young Louie Anderson, there were tons of iconic moments in the film. But what really had Americans coming in their pants were the multiple shots of Eddie Murphy’s gloriously toned body, as well as a can't-miss peek of the sexy Arsenio in the hot tub! Arsenio had us whooping when the late-night host uses some of Akeem's money to put a hot tub in their apartment. Things really get hot when we get to see Arsenio's chest poking out of the water. But it's Eddie Murphy who is a cut above the rest, thanks to his wildly cut abs! Whether he's waking up in bed, getting his dong scrubbed by the royal ballwashers, or doing some combat training, it's not even funny how hot Eddie's chest looked. Who wouldn't want to get royally screwed by that royal? Now Coming to America: a whole lot of hard-ons for Eddie Murphy!
