The Golden Child: Eddie Murphy's Big Trouble in Little China

Eddie Murphy has delivered unforgettable performances in films like Trading Places, Harlem Nights, and Dolemite Is My Name. Despite some misses like "Pluto Nash," Murphy's 1986 film "The Golden Child" stands out as a unique and often overlooked gem. Originally intended as a serious fantasy, it became a humorous adventure under director Michael Ritchie. With a strong cast, including Charles Dance and Charlotte Lewis, the film was a commercial hit despite mixed reviews. "The Golden Child" showcases Murphy's versatility and is worth revisiting for its quirky charm and potential for a modern revival.
