Eddie Murphy Was Trolled By Coming To America’s Director On Set, And I’ll Never Look At One Scene The Same Way

Eddie Murphy in blue coveralls, covered in pink milkshake in Coming to America.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve watched Coming to America many, many times. In fact, I’m psyched that starting on September 1, I’ll be able to watch it over and over with my Peacock subscription. In fact, I plan to, because I just learned how petty one of the most iconic scenes in the movie is, and I need to watch it again. The scene is when Darryl (Eriq La Salle) tosses a milkshake at Akeem (Eddie Murphy), and director John Landis had a little trolling up his sleeve.
