• Acting For Three: Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall.
• Actor Allusion: 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 several years later would foil a pair of armed robbers holding up a cheap diner.
