While not being rated as highly as some of Murphy’s work, personally I enjoyed The Golden Child and found it entertaining and different to the movies around at the time, having said that it might not hold up well after 23 years.

The additional footage extends and enhances what is already a genre-defining action sci-fi flick and although these days the movie looks dated it’s impossible to deny the impact it had on subsequent films, giving it a deserved place in movie history.
