Il principe cerca figlio

James Earl Jones was 88 years old when he filmed his scenes. Although in reasonably good health for a man of his age, and happy to appear in this movie, James did not want to travel far to do so. His scenes were shot in one day on a rented TV soundstage nearer his home on the New York state/Connecticut border, without any of the other cast members present. It was to be Jones' final feature film role.

The Lion's whiskers are white. When Prince LaVelle cuts the whiskers, they are white and only a few are cut. The next scene, the whiskers are two-toned and are more than what was cut.

Before the closing credits are almost gone, Saul is interrupting them to tell a joke, like in the first movie. In this film, Saul is reciting "The Signifying Monkey" as made popular by Dolemite aka Rudy Ray Moore, the real-life person Eddie Murphy played in his previous film, Dolemite Is My Name (2019), also directed by Craig Brewer.
