The Golden Child (1986) is an American mystical comedy film starring Eddie Murphy. Murphy plays Chandler Jarrell, a social worker who is confronted by a young asian woman (Charlotte Lewis) who tells him that he is the one destined to save The Golden Child, the saviour of all mankind, from the clutches of the demon Sardo Numspa, played by Charles Dance. The film was directed by Michael Ritchie.
Actor Mel Gibson was originally slated to play the role of Chandler Jarrell in The Golden Child. When Gibson was unavailable, the producers selected Murphy, and changed the movie from a drama to a comedy.
- One of the prop knives used for this movie, is later used in 1994 film The Shadow (featuring Alec Baldwin), as the "Living Knife."
- John Barry began scoring this film, but during production left the project after diffferences with the producers, and his music was replaced with a mostly synth-pop/orchestral score by Michel Colombier, however some Barry cues remain in the final film.
