In Coming to America, McDowell’s burger resembling a Big Mac is called the Big Mick.
McDowell’s is a fictional fast-food restaurant in the 1988 comedy film Coming to America. Its owner, Cleo McDowell, explains that the restaurant’s menu resembles McDonald’s while claiming that the businesses are different. The film’s central burger joke is that McDowell’s sells the Big Mick.
The gag depends on the visual and verbal similarity between “Big Mick” and McDonald’s “Big Mac.” McDowell also says that the restaurant uses buns with sesame seeds, while insisting that the details are not identical.
The Big Mick is fictional and should not be confused with the real Big Mac. Similarly, Big Kahuna Burger is a separate fictional burger brand from Pulp Fiction. Both names appear in film trivia, but only Big Mick belongs to Coming to America’s McDowell’s storyline.
