Review of The Golden Child (1986) by James M — 06 Jan 2013

I vaguely remember enjoying this as a kid, on a recent viewing however, it has made me realise that Eddie Murphy only made about 3 or 4 good films during his career, this isn't one of them.

Ineptly plotted with terrible special effects (even for 80's standards). The whole thing is a mess. Comparisons can be made to John Carpenter's movie Big Trouble In Little China, which is much better (and funnier).
