*** Résumé en anglais seulement ****This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.Nestled in the mountains of Tibet, an oracle known as “The Golden Child” has been born. Although guarded by the monks who raised him, villainous Sardo Numspa is determined to use the child’s mystical powers for evil purposes and hires bandits to kidnap him. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, crafty self-styled detective Chandler Jarrell is approached by Kee Nang, a young woman the monks have sent to aid in their quest to recover the child. Informing Chandler that he is the “chosen one,” the duo embark on an increasingly strange and dangerous adventure into the supernatural underworld, facing strange creatures, magical charms, and the threat of death around every corner as Sardo does everything in his power to prevent them from uncovering where he has hidden the child.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.
