Added DiffLines:

* RebootSnark: Lavelle and Mirembe have a conversation about American cinema and Lavelle complains that all Hollywood makes these days is "superhero shit, remakes, and sequels to old movies nobody asked for." As a sequel to ''Film/ComingToAmerica'' made about thirty years later, this film, of course, [[SelfDeprecation falls into the third category]].

* TookALevelInJerkass:
** Akeem has begun to behave more like King Jaffe did: treating his wife and children in a regal but demeaning manner, refusing to allow Meeka to be his heir due to her being a woman and trying to force Lavelle into an ArrangedMarriage like Jaffe once did for him. This is somewhat justified due to his newfound responsibility as king (he admits to trying to deal with problems by his father's methods), and the threat of General Izzi declaring war on Zamunda hanging over his head. Despite this, he comes around by the end, and reverts to his humble self we know and love.
** In his final days, King Jaffe makes no secret that he has little respect for Akeem, completely loathes Semmi, and is ashamed of his own granddaughters. It probably doesn't help that he hasn't had Queen Aoleon to act as his MoralityChain in his last years.
