James Coburn - Wikipedia

A successful executive and womanizer finds his lifestyle choices have turned back on him when his new female boss turns out to be an even bigger deviant than he is. Eddie Murphy plays a detective with a speciality of finding lost children. He is told he is the 'Chosen one' who will find and protect the Golden Child, a Bhuddist mystic who was kidnapped by an evil sorcerer. Murphy disbelieves the mysticism but finds more and more evidence of demon worship as he investigates. Why hardly anybody seems to appreciate this film anymore is without doubt one of the greatest mysteries of our time.

Without doubt it's one of Eddie Murphy's finer films; it's impossible to not have a good time while watching this movie Visually, its cinematography is executed very well, the special effects are fantastic except in one poorly executed shot where Charles Dance turns into a rat and the theme tune has a strange kind of catchiness to it.
