Review of The Golden Child (1986) by Matthew S — 12 Jun 2011
So, a bunch of evil dudes kidnap a Tibetan child destined to save the world, and Eddie Murphy, an LA-based professional missing-child-finder is tasked with getting him back. And things don't develop much beyond that.
The plot is weird and disjointed, the supernatural aspect of the film has almost no background, the score was terrible, and Eddie Murphy was a really annoying main character. Mostly everything he said seemed either very awkwardly ad-libbed or very poorly written.
This is certainly not Murphy's best effort of the 1980s.
