The Golden Child
The Golden Child
Eddie Murphy plays a detective with a speciality of finding lost children. He is told he is the 'Chosen one' who will find and protect the Golden Child, a Bhuddist mystic who was kidnapped by an evil sorcerer. Murphy disbelieves the mysticism but finds more and more evidence of demon worship as he investigates.

Hard to beleive there was a time when Eddie Murphy was funny and had all the power of the box office at his disposal. Junk like this at least made money and had a few laughs, but its far too absurd to really show off Ed's talents. Even Murphy said this was "A piece of shit." The only reason this film exists is due to his contract with Paramount was originally putting him in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," as a scientist who helps the crew. Murphy being a fan wanted in, the trek people wanted him in, Paramount didn't want both it's hot properties merging. Two hits are better than one.
