This 1986 comedy is brilliant!
Starring Eddie Murphy (back when he had some edge to him) and introducing the world to the delights of Charlotte Lewis, we are treated to a film that has heart, but is very able to poke fun at itself.
Plot: Eddie Murphy is a finder of lost children, Charlotte Lewis has lost one...fine, 'cept, seems the one she misplaced was the Golden Child, a child destined to bring peace to the world. That'd be fine, but it seems the devil want's him too and dispatched Charles Dance to grab him. Then Eddie has to go to Nepal and get all spiritual and stuff, then there's a weird dream sequence and Charles turns into a flying monster...there's also a dancing Coke can, don't ask, just enjoy.
Dunno the budget, but it made $79,817,937.
Fun Fact: John carpenter turned down the chance to direct and Mel Gibson was originally slated to star...can you imagine?!
