Following his success in 1985's Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy loaned his signature laugh to this hugely-popular-at-the-time 1986 fantasy cop drama, pretty much "LA Chinatown Cop" with Axel Foley (here called Chandler Jarrell), a man tasked with protecting a Tibetan "golden child" from a supernatural villain; apart from an unexpected claymation scene and some magic effects, it is fairly humdrum to watch today.
