Line 4:
** As King Jaffe Joffer, [[James Earl Jones]] tells Cleo McDowell "Do not alert him [Akeem] to my presence. I will deal with him myself.", referencing two different lines as Darth Vader in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
** Also, cameos by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche as the Duke Brothers, who Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd sent to the poorhouse in ''[[Trading Places]]''. This film is also the ''source'' of a later allusion: [[Samuel L. Jackson]] played an armed robber holding up a cheap diner in this movie, and [[Pulp Fiction|several years later]] would ''foil'' a pair of armed robbers holding up a cheap diner.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: The movie opens on Prince Akeem's 21st birthday. Eddie Murphy, who played the prince, does not look 21, which makes sense considering he was 37 at the time.
