The Golden Child is an Urban Fantasy film released in 1986 directed by Michael Ritchie, starring Eddie Murphy, Charles Dance, Charlotte Lewis, Victor Wong, and JL Reate as the titular Golden Child and co-produced by Industrial Light & Magic. It is a tongue-in-cheek take on the entire genre of Chosen One stories, complete with a Trickster Mentor, Card-Carrying Villain, and the lovable Karmic Trickster antics of Murphy.Chandler Jarrell (Murphy) is a private detective specializing in missing children who is recruited by Kee Nang (Lewis) to come to Tibet to locate and rescue the Golden Child, a boy with mystic powers who has been kidnapped by demonic forces. The Big Bad, a sorcerer named Sardo Numspa (Dance), wishes to kill the child to bring about the rule of evil on Earth, but must do so at a specific time with a specific ritual. Jarrell, a cynic and skeptic, is forced to come to terms with the supernatural elements of the world, as he is the Chosen One who is fated to protect the child. First, however, he must undergo his own training at the hands of "The Old Man", a Trickster Mentor played by Victor Wong, and recover the Ajanti dagger that is the only hope of killing Numspa... or the Golden Child. | |

The Apple Falls Far: In the chamber where the Ajanti dagger is kept, Jarrell finds himself walking over a deep dark pit, but he doesn't think it's really deep, so he drops a coin into the abyss, only to panic when he doesn't hear it hit the bottom. It eventually hits the bottom, but only after several minutes. | |

Plummet Perspective: Lampshaded when Chandler Jarrell undergoes a quest to retrieve a sacred knife. The ground opens up beneath him, revealing what appear to be Bottomless Pits. Jarrell drops a coin to prove they're not really bottomless. Even better, the coin DOES hit the ground, but it is several minutes later (while Chandler is busy retrieving the knife). Now, if you include the time it took for the sound to actually reach him and use that to calculate the exact distance..... | |

Batman Gambit | |
| The Golden Child / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Numspa attempts to have Jarrell arrested, claiming that the latter stole a dagger from him. Numpsa needs the dagger to kill the Golden Child, and he believes that either Jarrell will give him the dagger to avoid arrest, or that the police will simply hand it over to him after arresting Jarrell. Jarrell gleefully agrees to be arrested, then takes a moment to explain the rules of evidence handling to Numpsa: Jarrell will be arrested, and the dagger held in police custody as evidence for his trial, which might not happen for months, maybe even over a year. Since Numpsa has to kill the child within a specific time frame that's closing fast, this means that Numpsa would have to storm police headquarters to get a hold of the dagger (instead of fighting a few relatively lightly armed members of a secret society). Numpsa is forced to publicly back off of his accusations and let Jarrell go free rather than risk storming a police station. | |

Bavarian Fire Drill : Jarrell needs to get the Ajanti Dagger through a Metal Detector Checkpoint in Tibet. He slips the Dagger into the pocket of another passenger, then the unwitting dupe goes through and the alarm sounds. Jarrell pretends to be a law enforcement official, "confiscates" the Dagger on the other side of the detector (while making a big enough scene that the dupe is able to leave unmolested) and continues on his way. | |

Grievous Bottley Harm | |
| The Golden Child / int_67792344 | comment |
Grievous Bottley Harm: Before attacking Kee Nang, a biker casually breaks a bottle of beer to create a weapon. Kee Nang jumps up, grabs onto an overhead metal pipe and kicks him through a wall. | |

Artistic License – Law | |
| The Golden Child / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: When Numspa tries to have Jarrell arrested at the airport for stealing the dagger, Jarrell is correct in saying that if he is arrested, Numspa won't get the dagger because the police will take it as evidence. However, it would not have even gotten to that point. Numspa can't just call the police and tell them someone stole something, and have four or five uniformed officers show up at the airport to help him retrieve it. No day, no way. The police would tell him to come in and file a police report, he'd have to show proof that the dagger is his, he'd also have to give the police something to show reasonable suspicion or probable cause that Jarrell is actually the one who stole it, he'd have to swear out a warrant for Jarrell's arrest in front of a district or city attorney, that arrest warrant would have to be approved, and only then would the police actually arrest Jarrell, although it's much more likely he'd be given an opportunity to turn himself in. | |

Indecisive Parody: The film can't seem to decide if it's an Affectionate Parody of The Chosen One or a straight use. This is probably because it originally was going to be a straight action movie staring Mel Gibson, then the part was recast with Eddie Murphy, arguably the biggest star in Hollywood at the time and certainly its biggest comedy star — whereupon they took out a lot of the dialogue and just let him improvise stuff. | |

Manchild | |
| The Golden Child / int_e150c4c7 | comment |
Manchild: One of Numspa's minions has the mind of a child. And, like a child, he is capable of cruelty, but also enjoys some of the Golden Child's beautiful displays of power in a way the others do not. Ultimately, this leads to his redemption when the child touches his hand. | |

MacGuffin Super-Person | |
| The Golden Child / int_e75be4b3 | comment |
MacGuffin Super-Person: The Golden Child is something of a child lama, desired by both sides. He doesn't count quite as a MacGuffin since his own abilities and efforts are conducive (if not critical) to his own escape. | |

Exact Words | |
| The Golden Child / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: To test his character, Chandler has to traverse the maze to the dagger without spilling the glass of water he's been given. However, when he gets to the dagger, it's covered with a wreath of fire. Knowing he's unable to use the water to put the fire out, he drinks the water instead, so the fire goes out and he takes the dagger. After Kee Nang gets shot with a crossbow, Chandler is told that the Golden Child can revive her as long as the sun's rays still touch the body, which is laid in state. After the final battle, Chandler and the Child see that the sun, shining in through the window, is no longer touching her body. But all they have to do is raise her leg so that the sun is touching her, and the Child is able to revive her. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| The Golden Child / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: Numspa spends most of the film looking like Charles Dance. At the Final Battle, and with no foreshadowing anywhere in the film, he transforms into a large, bony, winged demon (stop-motion animated to boot). Cue Oh, Crap! from Jarrell, who was pretty confident on taking him on up to that point. | |
