Review of The Golden Child (1986) by Gee — 18 Sep 2008

I remember when this came out on video, it was the same day as ALIENS, so it has good memories for me. I just downloaded it from iTunes and ya know what, it has actually aged very well. It is very funny, but also darker than I remember. Murphy is having a lot of fun with this and Dance is great as always. This almost feels like a companion piece to Big Trouble in Little China, its in the same universe anyway. The effects are still really good, the shot where the brick wall falls away, sideways and the demon at the end still hold up very well.

If you are looking for a fun hour and a half, give it ago.
