An entire restaurant building dressed up as a famous Eddie Murphy movie for Hallowe'en

"They got the Big Mac. I got ... the Big Mic."

The two-time Oscar nominated 1988 comedy Coming To America has a lot of iconic moments going on, from the barber scene with the multiple Eddie Murphy's arguing over everything and anything, to "The royal penis... is clean", to the Soul Glow hair products. One of the biggest laughs in the film, though, is when the African prince (Murphy) and his loyal man-servant (Arsenio Hall) take up minimum wage jobs in a local fast food restaurant.: "They both contain two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions. But they use a sesame seed bun. My buns have no seeds." Clip via DontHateOnJord In a moment of pure genius level brilliance, an entire restaurant, from the building to the staff, dressed up as this fast food outlet for Hallowe'en. The Wieners Circle in Chicago became McDowell's for the day, complete with a new sign, new uniforms and new menu items. We're putting good money on the fact that they also didn't have any seeds in their buns.
