Un prince à New York (1988)
Au royaume africain du Zamunda, son altesse royale, le prince Akeem célèbre ses 21 ans, devenant ainsi majeur et doit se marier. Depuis son plus jeune âge, des servantes toutes dévouées ont toujours satisfait le moindre de ses désirs, même les plus intimes et parfaire à son éducations royale. Ses parents, le roi Jaffe Joffer et la reine Aoleon, lui ont choisi une future épouse, Imani Izzi, qui n'a été élevée que pour servir le futur roi. Toutefois, le futur roi ne veut pas d'une femme dévouée à sa vie, il souhaite rencontrer une femme en accord avec ses sentiments, avec une personnalité. Pour se faire, et en dissimulant une partie de la vérité à ses royaux parents, Akeem gagne New York, dans le quartier du Queens avec son serviteur Semmi où il entreprend de vivre dans une pauvreté factice pour trouver la femme idéale.
