Where was the movie Coming to America filmed?

The movie "Coming to America" was primarily filmed in New York City and Los Angeles, with some scenes also shot in Queens, New York.

Here's a breakdown:

* New York City: Much of the film's urban setting, including the streets of Queens and the fictional "Zamunda" palace, was filmed in New York City.

* Los Angeles: Scenes involving McDowell's, the fast-food restaurant, were filmed in Los Angeles.

* Queens, New York: The exteriors of the Queens home where Akeem lives with his friends was filmed in Queens.

The film cleverly used sets and locations to create the illusion of a vibrant and bustling African country, while still grounding the story in a familiar American setting.
