Description
Background
“Coming to America is a 1988 American romantic comedy film directed by John Landis and based on a story originally created by Eddie Murphy, who also stars in the lead role.”
This movie was one of my all-time favorites from my childhood, and maybe one of Eddie Murphy's most popular movies. One of the most memorable scenes was the barbershop scene in which Eddie Murphy acted in several different roles.
 
The Build
I wanted to create a Lego version of the barbershop scene. To capture the atmosphere of the shop, I decided to make the build as compact as possible, in order to make the room feel cluttered. I added 4 characters from the scene:
  • Prince Akeem
  • Semmi (friend of Akeem)
  • Clarence (barbershop owner)
  • Saul (customer)
