For fans of Coming to America, one of the biggest joys of Craig Brewer’s recently released sequel, Coming 2 America , was seeing the multiple nostalgic nods to the original hit . Actress Vanessa Bell Calloway, last seen hopping on one foot as Eddie Murphy ’s bride-to-be, was still hopping.

The thing the musicians remember most about their salad days now is the determination they had simply to book small gigs at the Troubadour and Gazzari’s. Related How 'Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?'
