Chinese The Golden Child (Prince of the Sun) (Movie Nights) (ft.

[@SylvainDementi]

WOW! I've seen Ed Glaser in most of his videos but I haven't seen him as charismatic as in this. The natural, improv style suits him big time. Thanks for this amazing video!

[@Amitlu]

"You're supposed to laugh at children being hurled through the air" *Child gets thrown* I dont know, it sure made me laugh

"LOok over there, they're fighting" sounds a little like Wabuu.

"Most of these Bat-Men are sooo stupid! Hehehe..."

[@CamsEyeView]

This is easily one of my favorite Movie Night episodes next to Who's Your Caddy. I like seeing you interact with Ed Glaser. Hopefully you two do more videos in the future on this stuff. I like hearing about the insight of this film.

[@lecafard4327]

Ok. I just ordered this movie. It looks right up my alley. I really hope you didn't just show all the best parts. Edit:. I have finally seen the film and it was everything I could have hoped for. Thank you for introducing me to it.

[@U014B]

36:18 Legend has it that Eddie Murphy originally turned down the role of Donkey in Shrek. That is, until he found out Donkey gets with the dragon...

[@drakkenmensch]

Eddie was always disappointed that his character in the Golden Child didn't have sex with the half-dragon woman.

[@PWPH1984]

I love randomly seeing Ed pop up in videos. We went to the same high school and I have fond memories of shooting the shit about bad movies during PE and watching an early MST3K-style "fan edit" of the Dungeons and Dragons movie he made the year after it came out.

[@tobiaswalker7562]

Been a fan and subscriber for years! I NEVER tire of videos or this opening tune

I need that Less Fashion shirt to add with my pug angel crop top.

[@joeyjojo6148]

That scene where the kid cut the rope was actually a reference to a Japanese short story by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Spider's Thread. This ripoff with literal tire-fires is for realy-reals smart, yo.

[@polk-e-dot8177]

i mean, clever enough reference.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Apparently, the budget for this was $35-million. That's almost unheard of for a HK movie from the early 90s.

[@CartoonTriper]

25:48 Holy Crap, DEVILMAN!

[@YunierViada]

Samuel Chin Orozco YEAHHHHH

[@no-man_baugh]

Seriously, a review w/ Ed Glaser? REALLY GREAT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! AAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! *GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!*

[@alexscott8385]

Wow, the villain not only looks like Devilman, his fate also homages Dostoyevsky (look up the parable of the onion) by way of Ryunosuke Akutagawa (The Spider's Thread).

[@eamonndeane587]

Does the Villain in this also have a Girlfriend with a Yellow hair ribbon who gets her head shoved on a pike?

[@albertramirezbailbonds7135]

This is one of your BEST videos!

[@MrArtKub]

Ed is an adorable human being.

[@WinterSteele]

I always welcome Ed's wealth of knowledge.

[@darkindapark]

I think the bat man costume is just a devilman reference

[@kayel4487]

I hope you can do more reviews with Ed in the future. You two have a good rapport!

[@nakenmil]

Ed! I JUST rewatched Ninja the Mission Force season 2. What a crazy coinkidink.

[@nakenmil]

Oh god, the Space Thunder Kids flashbacks.

[@markwaelterman8570]

For basically as long as we've been together, my wife's ring tone on my phone has been the opening theme from Prince of the Sun. I always tell her she is probably the only person on Earth with that ring tone.... she doesn't appreciate it.

[@rivetsquid8887]

This thing's hard to find for our region or streaming rn in the US. Buuuut, it's free on KZbin dubbed, if anybody's lookin.

[@dantegisleson1698]

the villain looks like a live action knock-off devilman

[@Tareltonlives]

Golden Child with Cynthia Rothrock? THAT SOUNDS AWESOME

[@Tareltonlives]

And yes, Cynthia Rothrock movies BEG for Allison-Ed crossovers

[@Tareltonlives]

I laughed so much during this review seeing all these clips.

[@Funkeditup]

KZbin suggested your video to me, so glad I checked it out. Great movie recommendation. Just finished watching it and loved it! Love old school kung fu action and comedy of this type. Can't thank you enough :-) Subscribing now

[@dunes8817]

The good old Looney Tunes "finger in the gunbarrel" gag

[@HansAlRachid]

Ed Glaser has this incredible talent of turning very specific niche pieces of information into the most fascinating thing on earth. Love that man. Also, I have to get ahold of this movie, it sounds amazing! Thanks!

[@thefollowingisatest4579]

Allison talking about Rothrock, the Golden Child, comedy so bad its funny, and the G-Laser! Movie Nights just keeps getting better and better.

[@WordUnheard]

I loved The Golden Child, and actually saw it in theaters. That's right, kids. I'm older than dirt. In fact, I invented dirt. I was bored and tired of constantly being clean.

[@WordUnheard]

@Dennis McConnell I didn't know that, until just now. Thanks for telling me. Weird that they wouldn't give her any dialogue, since most boys that age could easily pass for girls by voice. It was her only movie, too. Her one movie, no dialogue, and she has to pretend to be a boy. She got shafted, but it's still a fun movie.

[@percyperanamus7432]

The abusive teacher casting is so interesting to me because conventionally she's such a beautiful young woman and in my mind when I think 'hag teacher with ruler raised to beat child and secret child gambling ring' my mind wants to go to an older , rougher looking character, but this woman looks more like a damsel in distress/coy love interest- I'm sure it's def probably a cultural difference from here to there but I think the change up is really cool regardless

[@mathieuleader8601]

don't judge a book by its cover

[@haldon12]

My best friends mom was watching this in Catonese (no subtitles) at our place a few weeks ago, and it is just as awesome when you have no idea what anyone is saying

[@metalgrinch]

I gotta check this movie out! Had no idea but looks good 😀 Great work, LOVE this channel!! 😊😊

[@GradnLordTad]

I got this movie because of this review. I was not disappointed. It's legitimately hilarious. :-)

[@mikeflo4840]

I remember seeing this on showtime when it first came out in like 90 or 91. I watched it constantly and now anybody I ask about it has never heard of it.

[@javis88h]

"You have no pants on and your legs are all hairy and disgusting!" "Yeah, you got a point." What?

[@Delightfully_Witchy]

All the people old enough to see this movie when it was out in my weirdass family actually love this movie. To this day, anyone of them could randomly yell "Brother NOOP-SIE!"... Yeah.

[@Delightfully_Witchy]

@Dennis McConnell can you prove that? where did you here it?

[@IgnatiusThorogood]

I recognize a lot of those dub voices from the '90s-era Godzilla movies. If you watch Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (easily the Heisei-era movie I've seen the most), for instance, you'll hear a lot of these voices. Like the lead dude in that is also dubbed by the guy doing Conan Lee here.

[@DalekTheSupreme]

It's always nice when you're expecting almost nothing and given almost everything.

[@fenrir-art4742]

I am more familiar with that anime movie Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata were part of. :) It was called Horus: Prince of the Sun.

[@eamonndeane587]

In the UK that film is on DVD under the Name 'The Little Norse Prince'.

[@0ButterBall]

Wait, wait. Jeff Falcon? As in Jeffrey Falcon, from Six-String Samurai?

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

This movie was one of my favorites when i was younger. it used to be on either Showtime, Cinemax or HBO all the time, but real late at night. Still have my taped VHS copy. By the way Jeffery Fallcon also plays Buddy (sic Holly) in this sweet low budget movie called Six String Samurai which is really weird kung-fu adventure movie in post apocalyptic future where Vegas is the last American City after the Russians nuked America and Elvis became King. And Buddy is fighting against Death to become the new king of Vegas. Its freaking awesome and worth finding a copy of if you can. I highly recommend it!

[@Laszlo75]

That shirt with the stars is superb!

[@SigEpBlue]

There's a distinct _What's Up, Tiger Lily_ feeling to this.

[@Nergalsama01]

Ah, the 80s/90s, where even low-budget films had at least awesome cover artwork. :)

[@robertwilliamson2856]

Loved having Ed on the show! Hope he returns soon!

[@captcrais101]

Golden Child is great. I love that movie

[@Crimsonhalo666]

oh damn a VCR cleaner in the background???!!!! i remeber those!!!! remember having to also take the cover off the VCR to wipe it down with a cloth and cleaner. nope don't miss that lol

[@bradwolf07]

It's good to see you getting back to reviewing a Rothrock flick again. And I'm glad you both enjoyed this one

[@Ric_Roar]

I love the intro music... reminds me of You Belong To The City

[@OrochiFlamez]

I remember seeing this movie when I was really young and it always stuck with me, but I had forgotten its name. Thank you for this video :)

[@jlprizm]

This was really fun Allison! You should do more of these crossovers.

[@KasumiRINA]

5:45 OMG THIS IS SO BAD I WANT TO SEE REVIEWS OF THAT11!!!111!

[@gaialanzer81]

I loved Prince of the Sun! Originally watched it sometime during the early 90s when they used to air it on one of the movie channels. Was a fave of my family (especially with my mom and little sisters). I gotta get this on blu-ray!

[@zippoboyshaneshank8954]

Very entertaining review!

[@toastlover]

Wow, I have been watching a lot of Movie Nights, and usually I prefer the solo reviews because they seem to be more in depth and analytical, but Ed Glaser was awesome. It was nice to have a co-host who added context, history, and researched insights. Only so many times you want to hear "this movie is stupid and bad haha."

[@echoskolumne1962]

This is the most interesting film you reviewed in a while. An obscure gem I just have to watch! I go for Chinese humour. And this is certainly good here. Even the worst character is somehow likable. And holy crap! That Bat --Man! 😄He's like a power rangers villian done right. As an earlier commenter stated, the main male character is played and presented a bit like a Jackie Chan substitute. Feels like everybody involved had a blast doing this movie. And production quality is surprising. And I'm happy I was introduced to Ed Glaser and his work. Can't wait to check on his videos! This channel keeps getting better and more entertaining

[@Delightfully_Witchy]

Jeff Falcon was also in "Six String Samurai."

[@brianfuller5868]

Prince of the Sun is Golden Child with Cynthia Rothrock and from Hong Kong. I was in.

[@ShadeMeadows]

But Seriously... Is that Ed Glaiser?

[@Elementa2006]

I watched this movie growing up, fond memories

[@edgeyberzerker]

I think I need to see this movie. It's so up my alley!

[@fatdog1963rb]

Watching this tonight

[@TomHead_Headtoon]

Is Ed a vampire? Because he hasn't aged! Awesome to see you guys finally team up!

[@Mattteus]

14:52 holy shit! Did he chuck a durian at her head?! That’s like swinging a mace into someone’s face!

[@JoeEnglandShow]

Geez. The Skeletor on the poster even has the Cosmic Key!

[@fenrirsleipnir9388]

How have I never seen this movie? I love movies like this!!!

[@nikstellar]

Sheila Chan's character is probably a spoof, because Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat were on the rise with their Mo lei tau(nonsensical slapstick humour) comedies during the early 90's and this movie relies on said humour. In the 1990 they made the classic All for the Winner and Sheila Chan was in it. The movie was a parody of the first God of Gamblers and after Winner's success, Stephen Chow and NG Man-tat starred in two God of Gamblers sequel and few spin-offs. So I guess the poster is an inside joke aimed towards the God of Gamblers franchise, since every poster had characters holding revealed cards in the same manner. Or simply, I'm reading too much into it.

[@AllisonPregler]

Thanks for the insight!

[@ravenstromdans]

Okay, late to the party, but the use of the clip from "Seagulls (Stop it now!)" was absolutely perfect.

[@scitechian]

@24:54 Is that the chief warden from Riki-oh?

[@PaceBreaker]

Oh snap! You *and* Ed reviewing a Cynthia Rothrock movie?! And it's one I've seen? Yes! I held off on watching this just to watch all of Ninja the Mission Force first.

[@Mr_Gray_Sky]

I saw a Samo Hung movie on television late at night once and the dubbing was entirely in cockney accents.

[@56postoffice]

Great classic!!

[@amberace]

Awesome crossover!

[@mikekz4489]

This was great.

[@percyperanamus7432]

I also have a question regarding the voices, when a movie is dubbed for english is there a reason why they dub over english speakers? I'm asking this assuming Rothrock was saying her lines in english though, not sure.

[@AllisonPregler]

Because a lot of films like this are recorded without sound and then dubbed into multiple languages later.

[@percyperanamus7432]

ohh! thanks for the info!

[@superlive98]

LOL. More like ALL Hong Kong films of that era of were filmed without sound. This allowed them to cast many actors in lead roles who spoke no Chinese at all. Case in point, California-native Lloyd Hutchinson, billed in this film (and all others) as "CONAN LEE".

[@phreakazoith2237]

The teacher is a reverse Jason - mean, brutal but she is leaving trough crashing windows, not entering

[@no-man_baugh]

So I occasionally rewatch your older reviews, after watching vampire cop I’m left wondering... Shark Exorcist when?

[@maugos]

Yay! It's the G Laser! Gotta say, this movie does look pretty funny in that "so bad, it's good" kinda way.

[@Jayfive276]

I don't know if anyone's noticed but Cythnia Rothrock, at the age of 61, still has it goin' on.

[@Zycyzyx]

Every time I hear that guy's voice, inevitably, in the back of my mind... SPACE!!! THUNDER KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KamalaKackles]

Golden Child is by far Eddie’s best movie. 🍿

[@stevew8513]

As to the Skeletor rip-off on the cover... isn't he holding the musical key device from that movie also? The painter of the movie poster couldn't at least leave out the MacGuffin device from a different movie? Amazing.

[@brianlewolfhunt]

"Run, run, run and jump. I can be your backpack while you run."

[@michaelbiscay9836]

I know this was uploaded months ago, but I just saw it and can't let this go... 8:26 A how many hour day?

[@SpeedyEric1]

I remember Spoony and Bennett the Sage's crossover review of Space Thunder Kids. 16:06- Or that's the only one that was made, because she's Trump levels of ego-maniacal. 17:58- Or Ellen Ripley with Newt in Aliens. 26:12- Just pray when they get Man-Bat in a live action Batman film, they won't base him off of this guy. BTW, I really wish the villain WAS Skelator from Masters of the Universe. Nice callback to that crappy effect shot from Ninja Turtles 3. 35:18- There was a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" skit on SNL in the late 90s early 2000s called "Who Wants to Eat?"

[@lizardlord4k]

My life is just a little better after knowing this exists

[@matthewhennessey5967]

[@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787]

Can’t get enough of that dubbed rothrock crisps

[@ThreeBeingOne]

Cynthia is magic on film.

[@JuriAmari]

I love Cynthia Rothrock films. She really knows how to handle an action scene. It also helps that she’s an undefeated martial arts champion and she’s been in films with HK film heavy hitters such as Michelle Yeoh and Sammo Hung. Definitely check out Yes Madam/Police Assassins. It’s worth the watch! It’s one of the few you could easily say she’s the star in the film along with Michelle Yeoh. Another one is the China O’Brien series.

[@JuriAmari]

Anytime! :)

[@BloodrealmX]

Allison reviewed Yes, Madam and both China O'Brien movies, among many other Cynthia Rothrock films, in Obscurus Lupa Presents. In fact, her first review was Undefeatable.

[@derManeken]

I remember watching this film on TV back in high school. I remember that somehow russian voiceover was even funnier than english dub because of the stupid high-pitched voice of the actor who did it. Anyway, thanks for reminding of this film, got to rewatch it sometime

[@eddieboyky]

I think an internet review succeeds when I'm saying: "I must find this movie now" when the review is over. Under those terms, this review succeeds tenfold.

[@rodrolliv]

Oh my, they even inserted the cosmic key along the Skeletor ripoff in that cover.

[@drakkenmensch]

The buff arm of Cynthia doesn't bother that much on its own until you notice that her RIGHT arm is drawn normally, meaning that the cover implies that she's one of those gym weirdos who does reps with just the one arm and ends up with a massive arm/regular arm imbalance.
