The Golden Child, staring Eddie Murphy, makes its arrival for the first time ever in Blu-ray under the Paramount Presents line.
Director Michael Ritchie supervised the 4K film transfer prior to the film’s remastered release on Blu-ray. As is the case with every Paramount Presents editions, The Golden Child also comes with collectible packaging with a foldout image of the theatrical poster and interior photo spread featuring key scenes. The film also includes a digital copy. However, should you prefer, you can also bring the film home digitally on 4K Ultra HD.
One thing to note about the bonus features is that a Filmmaker Focus is not included. This feature seems to be the standard add-on for the entire Paramount Presents line. The film also joins three other Eddie Murphy films in being released on either Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD today.
