• At the time of filming, James Earl Jones was 88 years old. He was in relatively good health for his age and was happy to star in the film, but only if it didn’t involve extensive travel. It is believed that all of his scenes were shot in a single day in a specially rented soundstage closer to his home, on the border of New York and Connecticut, in the absence of Eddie Murphy and the rest of the cast from Atlanta. This explains why Jones and Murphy do not have a single direct conversation in the film.
• Scenes allegedly for Zamunda were filmed near Atlanta, and the estate owned by hip-hop artist and music producer Rick Ross served as the royal palace. Ross liked the wallpaper used for filming in the dining room so much that he asked the filmmakers to leave it after filming was complete. A dining table for 60 people was specially constructed for the filming. It was also left as a gift to Ross after filming wrapped.
• Digital technology was used to recreate the images of young Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall in the flashback.
• According to Eddie Murphy, work on the sequel began after all attempts to adapt the first film into a theatrical production failed, and after a meeting with Ryan Coogler. Murphy said he didn't like the script ideas Coogler proposed and began thinking about writing the sequel's script himself.
