The Golden Child, 1986

[Archivist]

Man, I loved this movie as a kid, and picked up the DVD last year for the collection.  I must watch it again and see how it holds up.

I haven't seen "Golden Child" since it made the cable-TV rounds in the '80s, so I remember next to nothing about it. I'm sure it probably hasn't aged very well.

I don't think I've seen it- I was thinking COMING TO AMERICA which was mildly funny.
Not a big Eddie Murphy fan. I liked him on SNL, but- I dunno.
SNL players don't seem to fare well with me on the big screen- they should stick to skit comedy.
What really doesn't seem to work well I think is when stand-up comedians or skit comedians try to be in dramatic parts.

I seen Keenan Ivory Wayans in a straight action movie once- as the STAR yet- hoo boy- what a mess! Jim Carrey in that horror movie - I think it was called NUMBER 23 or something- oh- bad! Bad dog! Can you imagine Moe Howard as the star in CASABLANCA???  Or Stan Laurel as DRACULA???

Or Stan Laurel as DRACULA???

I'd pay good money to see that.

I can just see it now "OOOOooooh Renfield that's another fine mess..."
