THE GOLDEN CHILD (1989) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Eddie Murphy | Charles Dance

[@Justin0807]

This is one of Eddie Murphy's most underrated films. Gets overshadowed by his other 80s movies like 48 hours, Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2, Trading Places, and Coming to America.

[@k.delpino1124]

But it partially overshadowed Big Trouble In Little China. Box office wise anyway.

[@Pianodean]

Eddie Murphy hated this movie...I loved it...I lose it every time he says..."What was that..with the FLIP?!"

[@seanswinton6242]

I like this, I also like "Metro."

[@k.delpino1124]

@@seanswinton6242 that one was pretty good too.

[@shawnboyce1663]

Why not mention Harlem nights?

[@TJ700]

Kristen having such a good time gettin Achara she was snort laughing. These 2 together have gotta be my favorite.

[@the_nikster1]

this is my favorite Eddie Murphy movie. I still quote it to this day. "My brother Numsey!" 😂😂😂

[@Barovian20]

I have watched this movie so many times. It never gets old to me. Eddie Murphy is great, but Charles Dance rounds the movie out perfectly.

[@theawesomeman9821]

I had no idea Twin Lannister was in this movie until now

[@Dbdorr]

The actor who plays the golden child is actually female. Jasmine Reate. She was my classmate in elementary school.

[@JemJam2976]

Saw this movie when I was younger, did not learn that fact until recently

[@teddybeer6206]

This was (as far as I know) her one and only role.

[@mlh8271]

The "Golden Child" was actually played by actress J.L. Reate.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

@marcellhawkins1298 I've seen pictures of her having a reunion with Eddie Murphy, funny to see her all grown up with a full head of hair🤣

[@joellenglass2344]

Yep! Most people thought she was a boy.

[@christophmahler]

Bet the recent AI-agitprop movie 'The Creator' was an homage to the 'Golden Child'.

[@damianstarks3338]

Happy to see you ladies reacting to this 80s Eddie Murphy classic the 80s are forever

[@NelsonVlog66]

The Golden Child was Eddie Murphy's followup to 1984's Beverly Hills Cop from 1986. He took a year off from movies to record his first music album How Could It Be which featured the single "Party All the Time" in 1985. The song, "Best Man In the World" heard during the opening credits was written by John Barry who had written several of the James Bond theme songs. The song was sung by Ann Wilson(of Heart fame).

[@smoovetee365]

I recommend watching Lean on Me another 80’s classic

[@JayStar-yj9pu]

Charles Dance was an underrated actor having also appeared in Alien 3 and The Last Action Hero

[@Kardashev1]

Funny reaction. The part with the blood in the oatmeal when I was young totally freaked me out.

[@wartyrant8627]

Same 🤢

[@JayStar-yj9pu]

Anyone else recognize the two prominent Asian actors who portrayed adversaries in Big Trouble in Little China?? I forgot the guy who played Tommy Tong was one of the three Storms as well

[@Unchained74]

Hey lovely ladies. This is a great selection. One of my childhood favorites. I literally use to watch it everytime "Showtime and The Movie Channel" showed it. My repeat rotations were: Mannequin, Big trouble and little china and The Golden Child.

[@wartyrant8627]

Wow, forgot about Mannequin. Now I’m reminded of Andrew McCarthy and Less Than Zero 💀

[@WretchinWilson]

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA next! It makes a great double feature with THE GOLDEN CHILD!

[@donaldmacias4634]

Eddie Murphy improvised the scene where he jumps the fence and sees the family grilling.

[@gregmaestas2069]

Charles Dance made a career of scaring the crap out of me. Also, he would never lower himself to speak american

[@alanclark6761]

An Eddie Murphy sleeper that you will LOVE is "Bowfinger"

[@dstojanovic9]

There are so many more 80s gems left to watch.

[@mrlij6534]

This is my favorite Eddie movie. he had such a great run from the 80s to the early 80s that critics came down hard on this movie but i always liked it and now its a cult classic

[@gleentea]

Leave it to the women to hold the fact that she died for him for the rest of his life 😂😂

[@jduncanandroid]

Yes, Charles Dance did plenty of work as a baddie in the '80s.... but Tywin Lannister made him immortal! ;)

[@andrewmccormack4295]

Achara and Kristen are so sweet and when Kristen "snorts", that's it for me,nothing makes me laugh more than that,she feels so much emotion at both ends of the spectrum,Humour or saddness,it's 100% all in from her..My two favorite reactors.

[@GyvonJante]

I saw it as a kid with my older cousins in theater. Always a family rental store favorite too!

[@Prodigalzson]

You gotta watch "Life" "Boomerang" and "Harlem Nights" ASAP. They will have you cryin'.

[@joellenglass2344]

FINALLY! Someone else is reacting to this movie! I remember when this movie came out! My dad took my sister and I to the drive in to see it. I was 7 years old. I’ve seen it many many years.

[@Abbadonhades]

I remember seeing this as a kid, and thinking it was very exciting. I was thoroughly entertained. It sits along other movies like Abyss as great movies I watched at birthday parties.

[@mr.o6240]

I loved it when Eddie dj scratched on the post when I saw this in the 80s.

[@ChaseDixon-ws2lg]

Two of the cast members in this movie played in BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

[@Madbandit77]

James Hong and the late Victor Wong.

[@Luke-kg7vu]

The guy with the long hair who wore the raiden hat was in here too

[@jaydouglas8845]

The little boy in the movie is actually a girl. The lead bad guy was the Lannister father from Game of Thrones.

[@simoliz03]

They need to bring movies like this back!

[@nomadking2211]

The movie was actually released in 1986

[@zeigbert1743]

Sweet brother Numsie worked for Dr Claw.

[@libertubey2199]

Yes, that is Frank Welker, who first used that voice as Dr. Claw. He must have really liked it, because he later used it for Darkseid in Superfriends and, electronically modified, Soundwave on Transformers. Of course, his signature role is Freddy Jones in the Scooby-Doo franchise.

[@maxborg1627]

Fun fact: the voice of the demonic entity is Frank Welker, one of the best and most prolific in the voice acting community. He’s used the same voice for Dr. Claw in the original Inspector Gadget animated series and for the Cave of Wonders in Disney’s Aladdin, among others.

[@turbopokey]

! Don’t forget Megatron! We love Frank!

[@k.delpino1124]

Also the voice of Malebolgia in Spawn (1997).

[@russellh.3150]

@@turbopokey I SWORE i recognized his voice but couldn't quite place from where. Megatron must be it.

[@turbopokey]

@@russellh.3150 possibly but Frank was in nearly everything. Any movie that had an odd vocalization in it somewhere, they usually had him do it. Remember that 90s Jim belushi buddy-cop movie “K9” where the other cop was a cranky old German Shepard? All the weird sounds the dog made was actually Frank. Aliens, animals, demons, he did them all. They didn’t have computers to help make all the weird noises back in the day so they had Frank do nearly all of them and before him the famous Mel Blanc did lots of that stuff up through the 70s at least.

[@gregmaestas2069]

Next time Gadget!. Next time!

[@SeanTube2099]

Loved this film and loved your chemistry during the reaction.

[@antoniorivas9224]

If you like "The Golden Child", you should also watch "Big Trouble In Little China". Both movies had some of the same actors in it.

[@totomomo18]

Wow finally a reactor does a reaction to this great movie what a surprise bravo.

[@jmadrigal2833]

Just an FYI, the Child cannot use magic to "blast", "take out", or harm anyone/anything. Magic that helps and heals, White Magic, Good. Magic that causes harm, Black Magic, Malevolent/Dark Magic. Which would corrupt the Child.

[@Diogmetes]

Thanks you two! Love the reaction to a childhood favorite. Also, Achara, you should start making up wild and sordid confessions and divulge them to Kristen and see how long it takes her to betray your secrets on camera.

[@sonicboomkj]

Kristen chose violence on this day.

[@g.herbert3810]

When she cries out "I died for you!" Calmly say "Yes, I know Love! And I fought, Conquered a Demon from Hell, and Saved The Golden Child to bring you back to Life. So Shut Up!

[@MrRyguy2112]

😂😂😂👏👏👏

[@brandontrammel4581]

😂

[@ghostsquirrel8739]

Nobody does The Golden Child. This is an underrated 80’s classic. Glad you got to it.

[@leav4g]

What. Really. I thought this would never be reviewed. Thank you I love it. My cousin begged me to buy him this hat. Great memories 🎉🎉❤

[@dmac8382]

Finally! More KZbinrs need to react to The Golden child 🔥

[@andrewsawyer1375]

This movie is so good to watch & laugh. Fun fact: the horse in the dream Eddie was having wandered in from another set & they left it in the scene.

[@kesdawg69]

If you want to watch an underrated movie also featuring Charles Dance, you should watch 'Last Action Hero'. A lot of people hated on it when it came out, but I think it's a pretty fun movie.

[@Redd21481]

Dont smoke the scrolls 😂😂😂😂I love this movie throwback to when I was a kid had it on VHS 😂. Awesome show there ladies 👏 Keep up the terrific work 👏 👌 👍 😀

[@jeffehren]

Charlotte Lewis is absolutely gorgeous. And as for the tone and rest of the cast, there is an overlap with John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China.

[@raylouison7571]

Achara and Kristen are jokes, such a great team.

[@smoovetee365]

Great Movie !! Came out the summer I graduated elementary school

[@Billy01113]

I saw it when it came out on video, I was around 11 or 12 and I totally loved the movie. In the 80s this movie was awesome!

[@ruule]

"I saw a nipple!" 😂😂😂 That expression on her face

[@justinhines9644]

This was one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies as a kid. I didn’t know that it had bad reviews until I grew up. I still love it to this day though.

[@briandrumgold642]

Golden Child came out in 1986

[@toddjohnson5176]

This movie Is an absolute classic.Awesome reaction as always!😎🤙🏾

[@keithsimpson6563]

Kristen you are my all time favorite watchers on you tube. From your take of Armageddon to the golden child it never falls to make my day. Thanks you guys much love

[@pintuztv]

I like how the evil dude is a tall slender, posh looking guy, and when he turned into his true form he became a demon with a dad-bod :D haha

[@stephenwilson04]

The Golden Child is a classic. That is all.

Fun fact -The Golden Child was played by a girl with a shaven head. ❤

[@Blaiyan]

GoD i hate my memory. I've watched this a handful of times since I was a kid and don't remember it correctly. I had no idea he found lost children. And I got the Oatmeal with blood in it all wrong.

[@dalee72]

This movie was released on December 12th 1986.

[@dekarejones4227]

They said Eddie Murphy add- libbed his way through this whole movie!

[@robertobrien5709]

Now you need to watch the film that The Golden Child competed with in the cinema, Howard the Duck another brilliant very funny comedy action film.

[@BruceLeon83]

Fun as Always yall' 😆 I love watching these movies with you two.✌🏾😎

[@Forjugadname]

Great to see this rare movie being reacted to, you girls are hilarious.

[@normlee6566]

Years later, Murphy called this film a piece of s#it. The film developed a cult following, but even the producers and director admitted the movie was not what it should have been, but was a movie crafted as a "Eddie Murphy film" on the heels of Beverly Hills Cop. It's campy fun. Roger Ebert was one of the few critics who gave it a positive review.

[@Apvizionz]

I love this movie so much!

[@outlawking4106]

The Golden Child was a childhood favourite of mine

[@GameChronicles]

You should react to Bulletproof Monk. Similar vibe as this but even better.

[@gleentea]

This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I’m glad you are getting to experience it.

[@who_hurt_youproductions8826]

Eddie should have did a part 2 to this 😅

[@wartyrant8627]

Watch them try it like with other movies 💀 The Platinum Child

[@olentie]

I love The Golden Child

[@vl4581]

I love this movie. I always remember we watched it movie day in middle school. Tywin Lanister against Eddie Murphy how an you not like that.

[@harpergras]

I've always said that this is one of Eddie's most underrated movie's. For me this is an outstanding, very well put together movie.

[@Codametal]

"My big mouth needed it!" Oh man, that's so funny. Kristen is hillarious.

[@botz77]

The Distinguished Gentleman is good.

[@EpicHelios83]

I grew up watching this movie. One of my lifetime favorites. Fun Fact: The character of The Golden Child was a boy, but was played by a little girl, Actress J.L. Reate. Another great supernatural type action movie from the 80s you should react to is Big Trouble in Little China with Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall. Way better visual effects and better action scenes than The Golden Child. A lot of funny moments, too.

[@georgezee5173]

I loved this movie as a child. When the villain turns into a demon it always scared the sh*t out of me! 🤣

[@luvaboy772]

Every kid who grew up in the 80's and early 90's watched this movie on VHS, cable or ABC. This is a underrated Eddie Murphy gem, apparently it didn't do that good in theaters. But it found an audience on TV and is a cult classic.

I saw this movie in college. The theater was packed and the crowd laughed the whole time. I definitely think the audience reaction impacts your viewing experience and that was a fun experience. I have fond memories of this movie because of that.
