470. The Golden Child (1986)

December 14, 2014

Back when Eddie Murphy still made good movies, he made this fun movie about a private detective who specializes in recovering children who have been abducted. After a Tibetan child (the titular "Golden Child") gets kidnapped by a warlock (Charles Dance), Murphy is selected as "the chosen one" from an ancient prophecy that claims someone with a pure heart will save the golden child from dark forces. Murphy doesn't believe it at first, but as time goes by he starts to realize he is dealing with real magical powers and true good versus evil. He travels to Tibet to find a special dagger that is the only thing powerful enough to stop the demons who are holding the child. I thought it was a lot of fun, and I would definitely recommend it.
