this movie is about Eddie Murphy who plays a guy who finds children after one day he is chosen by a group of religious monks to find and protect the golden child. This movie isn't that original in terms of plot, but i gave it 3 stars as it has got some good one-liners and Eddie Murphy gives a great performance as a guy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. all together Eddie is the only reason to watch this movie.

Brilliant, was a kid when first saw this and have loved it ever since!!! Brilliant and funny, EM was on the top of his game here, Definitely buy it!

An absolute 80's classic, eddie murphy is a legend. This really reminds me of my childhood and i would recommend this to anyone who is an 80's fan or not. BUY IT NOW.

the 80s...this is the decade when eddie murphy was funny. continuing his axel foley type humour,the golden child is a classic. some of the effects are outdated,but hey it was 1986. funniest bit is when murphy asks for the knife off the tibetian monks.i used to love this as a kid,and still enjoy it now. also starring charles dance,this movie is great entertainment. good price so buy today.

1986 was ages ago - but this is still good in 2008 (22 years later) its a classic very good movie and reminds me of being really really young, well paced, great story, very funny, and some crazy bits - CLASSIC - BUY IT

Well, what's to say. THE GOLDEN CHILD falls in the category "so bad, it's good". Eddie Murphy is having some funny (and sometimes quite annoying lines), but you are still entertained. Chales Dance has never been worse than his role as the villain Sardo Numspa (who came up with that name??).

Who should watch THE GOLDEN CHILD... hm... difficult to say, but my best guess would be people who likes embarrassing movies and can be entertained by bad acting, bad plot and an even more embarrassing dialog.

A classic 80's Eddie Murphy action film about good vs evil. This is one of the better more well made action movies of that time and Eddie Murphy is in top form continuing his almost Axel Foley character from Beverly Hills cop with cheeky charm. The effects are a little bit dated but all adds to the nostalgia and is still refreshing to see older films which dont completely rely on special effects .

oh this film is sooooooo funny!!! i was looking for this film for so long and at last i have it!!! eddie murphy's acting is so good and the film is hilarious!!

its a must see film!!!!
