This triple bill of Eddie Murphy films includes the comedy COMING TO AMERICA in which a prince and heir to the throne insists on choosing his own wife.

Additional InformationIn COMING TO AMERICA Prince Akeem is heir to the throne of Zamunda. He insists on choosing his own wife by setting off for America to find her. There the fun begins... THE GOLDEN CHILD is the story of an innocent-minded social worker who is told by an exotic foreign woman that his destiny is to save 'The Golden Child', a boy with mystical powers who has been kidnapped by an evil cult... Norbit (Eddie Murphy) is a shy fellow, raised by Mr. Wong (Eddie Murphy again) in a combination orphanage/Chinese restaurant in Boiling Springs, Tennessee. As a child, Norbit comes to love Kate, a fellow orphan, but the soulmates are separated when Kate is adopted. Enter Rasputia, an aggressive, plus-sized 10-year-old who protects him from bullies and demands his romantic loyalty, much like her thuggish older brothers demand 'protection' money from all the merchants in Boiling Springs. Rasputia and Norbit eventually marry--and the peevish adult Rasputia is played to great comic effect by Eddie Murphy in a fat suit. Although Rasputia is controlling, unfaithful, hideous-looking, and always madder than a hornet, she and Norbit make a life together, albeit one based on inertia, fear, and complacency.
