Eddie Murphy at its peak. "I I I I I I WANT THE KNIFE". Charles Dance is the bad again and I still entertaining

1986, and Eddie Murphy was in his prime in Hollywood, carrying into the ’90s. At the time, this was considered a passable movie by the standards of that era. But what a B-movie it is. Eddie Murphy plays an empathetic hero for a Tibetan boy who is meant to save humanity. Definitely one of the worst movies ever made. 2/10 rating.

This another movie that certainly seems a lot worse rewatching it after a long time. Like its ok but the main villain is practically thrown away at the end as if they didn't know what to do.

So, if something happens to the kid, the whole world goes to hell?

Eddie Murphy plays Chandler Jarrell, a man who devotes his time to finding lost children. When the beautiful Kee Nang (Charlotte Lewis) enters his life, she tells him he is the chosen one and he must find the Golden Child. Scepti More
