Coming to America (1988)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the robber tries to rob the restaurant you can see out the windows. This scene was shot in two places. 1. Highland and Hollywood Blvd. before they knocked down the Burger King there, and re-did Highland Avenue. When the men go outside, it's really Queens Blvd, and it's snowing, but the scenes in the restaurant are sunny and bright outside. Same when you see them walking down the street to the restaurant, it's snowing and cold, but when they get inside, the weather outside is CA weather.

Trivia: When they are at Lisa's apartment, you see a few really cool paintings on the walls. One of them is of Lisa's father's restaurant. All the paintings in Lisa's apartment were painted by Eddie Murphy. He loved to place certain things in movies that he took with a camera or made himself, like the paintings.

Trivia: When they go into the barber shop, you can see photos on the walls. In a few of the photos you can see Robin Williams standing with Eddie Murphy's family, his then wife, and other production crew members on another film. If you freeze frame when they are in the barber shop, you will see many photos that Eddie Murphy took personally and a few of them are of Robin Williams on the set of a movie. (04:00:00 - 04:16:55)
