The Golden Child (1986)

Golden child movie.jpg  I wish Eddie Murphy would go back to making movies like this.  Maybe not exactly like this, because this movie is fairly nuts as a concept, but you get the idea.

Chandler Jarrell (Eddie Murphy) is a private investigator specializing in missing children.  A beautiful woman (Charlotte Lewis) comes to him with a case involving a kidnapped Tibetan boy, the Golden Child who is destined to save the world.  The child has been taken by an evil sorcerer (Charles Dance) who wants to kill him and usher in a reign of darkness.

Yep, that's the actual plot of the movie.  I would rank it up there with Big Trouble in Little China, which would actually not be a bad double feature.  Both films are fairly ridiculous but so entertaining.
