The Golden Child
This has got to be Eddie's best movie ever. I highly suggest it for the great laughs and jokes.
Basically he plays a PI hired to find and rescue a child who is the golden child, a being of pure innocence that another group is trying to corrupt so they can kill him. Hilarity ensues as he takes up the case and has to travel in tibet on the back of a yak :)
