Prince Akeem weds Lisa at the end of "Coming to America."

In the original 1988 film, the romantic comedy ends with Prince Akeem returning home to wed the person chosen by his parents. When he gets to the altar, he realizes, along with audience, that his parents actually chose Lisa with whom he fell in love with back in Queens.

It looks like the two lived happily ever after. Or did they?

Stills from "Coming 2 America" appear to indicate that Lisa has made herself quite at home in Zamunda and in the crown. 

We can't help but wonder if her little sister and her father (James Amos) ever came to visit her? And whatever happen to her then-boyfriend Darryl Jenks (Eriq La Salle), whom she dumped because she was falling in love with her "little goat herder?"

Clarence cuts hair in his barbershop, aptly called, My T Sharp.

In the original version, Murphy tests out his characters, which he'd continue to do throughout his entire career, by embodying Clarence, the owner of a Queens barbershop. Hall is also one of the barbers, Morris.

Clarence's shop looks like it's still open.

Thankfully, recessions and the pandemic didn't affect Clarence's barbershop, which is still full of customers. Even Saul, the Jewish barbershop customer, is still sitting in his chair. 

We just wonder if a haircut is still $8.

When Prince Akeem and Semmi first arrive in Queens, it looked nothing like Zamunda.

Prince Akeem and Semmi received a harsh New York welcome when their luggage was stolen upon their arrival in Queens.

Prince Akeem and Semmi return to their block, wearing similar outfits.

The pair return with equally fantastic taste in outerwear, but a few more street smarts we hope.

King Jaffe Joffer, Akeem's father, only wanted the best bride for his son in the original film.

Actor James Earl Jones played one convincing royal papa in the original film, who encouraged his son to "sow his royal oats" before marrying his bride. Looks like he could be to blame for the sequel's plot.

The King of Zamunda wants his line of succession to be in tact before his death.

By the looks of the trailer, it doesn't seem like King Jaffe Joffer has long to live. He appears to be in bed when talking to Prince Akeem, demanding that he find his long-lost son in New York City since the crown can only be passed down to a son. The king is determined to see his grandson step into the line of succession.

Garcelle Beauvais (right) plays a flower thrower in the original.

Although we never learn her name in the film, Garcelle Beauvais' flower thrower was one of the many women at Prince Akeem's disposal when he took off to find true love.

The flower thrower gets promoted by the time we catch up with her in "Coming 2 America."

In the sequel, we finally learn the flower thrower's name, which is Rose. It looks like instead of being on the side, she's now taken her place as the main flower thrower — although we hope she has more duties by now.
