About

You can watch The Golden Child (1986) for free on Kanopy.

After a Tibetan boy, the mystical Golden Child, is kidnapped by the evil Sardo Numspa, humankind's fate hangs in the balance. On the other side of the world in Los Angeles, the priestess Kee Nang seeks the Chosen One, who will save the boy from death. When Nang sees social worker Chandler Jarrell on television discussing his ability to find missing children, she solicits his expertise, despite his skepticism over being "chosen."

Eddie Murphy trades his usual street-smart persona for a frantic, supernatural scavenger hunt across mystical landscapes. This genre mashup swaps traditional martial arts tropes for slapstick energy and strange, cult-classic mysticism.
