Effortlessly merging the insanity of an 80s exploitation film with the spectacle of a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, director Michael Ritchie’s (Prime Cut, The Bad News Bears) THE GOLDEN CHILD stars groundbreaking comedian and actor Eddie Murphy (48 Hrs., Beverly Hills Cop) in one of his wildest performances along with Charles Dance (Last Action Hero), Charlotte Lewis (Men of War, Pirates), and cult film superstar James Hong (The Vineyard, Big Trouble in Little China). Offering incredible production design and memorable stop motion effects, as well as plenty of weird and unexpected touches of sleaze, THE GOLDEN CHILD makes its 4K UHD debut from Vinegar Syndrome Ultra, restored in 4K from its camera negative and presented with a heaping host of interviews and extras, both new and archival.
