And even three decades later it seems as fresh and funny as it did all those years ago. From &#8220;Soul Glo&#8221; to Randy Watson and Sexual Chocolate, the movie is packed with hilarious throw away gags, and it also jump-started the tradition of having Murphy play multiple roles in a film&#8230;something that dominated his career for years after in works like the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/nutty-professor-1-and-2-the-nutty-professor-i-and-ii\/025192953729\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Nutty Professor<\/a><\/em> films. As for <em>Coming to America<\/em>, there was a failed attempt to bring it to television in 1989, but without the Murphy magic it was doomed to fail.
