Review of The Golden Child (1986) by Gabriel S — 11 May 2012

I honestly don't get some people don't like about this movie. Yes, there were annoyances (the lead female being one of them), but Eddie Murphy is as cool as always, and that's what really matters.

And plenty of things here are pretty cool. Not to mention, as in Last Action Hero, Charles Dance shows up as the villain, a formula that I tend to like. The only flaw I get frequently annoyed with is that, for a movie whose setting involves Tibet and Nepal, the writers don't seem to have done much research on the subject of Tibetan culture, as many films set around Tibet are often guilty of.
