Continuity mistake: When Akeem and Semmi get their apartment, the landlord says that the room has only one window facing a brick wall. But when Akeem is out on the fire escape, he yells out to a street, not a wall. And there are two windows.
Prince Akeem: I am Akeem. Lisa McDowell: It's nice to meet you, Akeem. Prince Akeem: I have recently been placed in charge of garbage. Do you have any that requires disposal? Lisa McDowell: No. It's totally empty. Prince Akeem: When it fills up, call me. I will take it out most urgently. Lisa McDowell: That's good to know. Prince Akeem: When you think of garbage, think of Akeem.
