A divine emissary bearing the promise of peace for all mankind has appeared on Earth in the form of a small child. The forces of evil are naturally quite keen to put an end to this and send their representative Sardo Numspa (Charles Dance) to kidnap the mystic youngster. Some wise Oriental elders then decide that their best chance of getting the child back again is to seek help from Chandler Jarrell (Eddie Murphy), a Los Angeles social worker who specialises in tracking down missing children. Chandler agrees, mainly because he wants to seduce the beautiful Tibetan messenger Kee Nang (Charlotte Lewis), and soon finds himself involved in all manner of supernatural hijinks.

Most helpful review The Golden Child

Great Film !!

By a customer from England , 16 Nov 2004

[Highly rated reviewer]

This is Eddie Murphy at the height of his career in the 80's. If you can Handle the somewhat 'dated' special FX then you'll love the 'one liners'. Good Comedy.

not a bad film

By cheesekake (1282 reviews) from uk , 19 Mar 2012

this film does have some funny sections, but to be honest I just don't think it gave Murphy his comedy best light.

Its an ok story, and has ok storyline.

The Golden Child

By Emjay69 (327 reviews) from Kidlington, Oxford , 10 Apr 2011

Very good, is my verdict. A good film from the start about a little boy that must be found. But he's a special little boy.

The film dates back to 1986 which means that this little boy is now a young man and I wonder if he's still acting? He plays a brilliant part in this one.

If you haven't seen it, you should,

Golden moments

By cuteytooty (20 reviews) from Aberdeen , 22 Jun 2009

Weird to watch a film now as an adult that I was scared of last time I watched it, but it was even better than I remembered . How bad could it be with Eddy Murphy on form, Charles Dance looking gorg, lots of special effects, great story + a cute kid!

The Golden Child.

By Cornetto (959 reviews) from Lancaster , 29 Apr 2007

The Golden Child stars Eddie Murphy. A private detective specializing in missing children is charged with the task of finding a special child that dark forces want to eliminate. A humorous fantasy adventure, average movie really.
