Review of The Golden Child (1986) by David S — 20 Mar 2015
The Golden Child is an 80s classic where Eddie Murphy is given free reign to be himself in the middle of a "world's end" cliche calamity, which provides perfect humour throughout. The special effects are terrible and and in doing so, they add immense value to this timeless classic.
There are constant bumps to the ride for the hero of this story, and he pulls his stunts off with hilarious results. Who cares for ceremony? Who cares for seriousness of the situation? Anything can be defused with a bit of Murphy comedy, and this one just does it so well.
