The Golden Child/Trivia


 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Victor Wong ("The Old Man") also plays Egg Chen in Big Trouble in Little China.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Frank Welker does the demon's vocal effects.
 * Victor Wong's Big Trouble in Little China costar James Hong (David Lo Pan) is Dr. Hong.
 * Old Shame: Eddie Murphy trashed this movie while promoting Coming to America.
 * Retroactive Recognition: Twenty-five years later, "Brother Numsy" turned out be Lord Vetenari.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * In a brilliant example of Tropes Are Not Bad, Mel Gibson was considered for Jarrell. Face it: this movie has a rather cheesy and predictable plot, but it's being carried by Murphy's humour. Now imagine the movie without the comedy but with Gibson.
 * John Carpenter was originally attached to direct, but opted to make the similar Big Trouble in Little China.
