probably the one thing people remember about this Eddie Murphy fantasy action/comedy vehicle was that it came out the same year as a more infamous Eastern mysticism centered film: Big Trouble in Little China.
So, Golden Child isn't bad, but it's disappointing. It starts out very promising, but then it starts to coast.
Eddie Murphy's charismatic as usual, but the script and his co-stars don't help much. It's like he's expected to carry the movie by himself like Beverly Hills Cop, but he's given very little to actually do; TV Tropes tells me the role was originally intended for Mel Gibson, and the script is straight-faced enough that you can tell.
there are some choice scenes ("Your silhouette is kickin'...oh, she plays the maracas?") which tell me that he needed to interact more with characters other than the love interest, Kee Nang...she was okay, but not interesting enough to co-star.
So...you all seen this shit too?

I loved this movie when I was a kid and always looked forward when WPIX, my local station, would show it.

A very underrated Eddie Murphy movie. My mom and dad really love this movie and turned me on to it when I was kid.
