Love this film but have to say Charlotte Lewis (kee nang) has to be the most miserable bitch I have ever had the misfortune to see in a film. She's so bastard miserable,
Ha!
yeah , Charlotte Lewis, the actress, does seem the miserable sort sometimes!
the look she gives Eddie murphy in Tibet when she goes to find yaks is disgusting. Watch it, when she tells him you have an hour to look around then she walks away. She looks at him like a piece of beep
I'd smack her one if she did that to me. She's very beautiful but terrible choice for this film.
She's moody, mean, miserable and wants to cheer up for beep sake.
However, I think this is an unfair assessment of Kee Nang.
but, I DO see why this conclusion can be draw: It is very apparent that there were some important scenes that got cut short or were edited out of the final print that expand upon Kee's feelings for Eddie Murphy's character, Chandler Jarrell.
Which gets us to that scene in Tibet. What we don't get to see is what Chandler says to her before she cops an attitude. I think what we were supposed to have was him acting very dismissive of her cultureand THEN he perhaps implies that the only reason he is there is because she slept with him and that she probably only slept with him to obligate him to come. Thus:
a. He insulted her culture
b. Puts into question if he can ever elevate his attitude to the level of being the chosen one instead of an insensitive irreligious skeptic
c. He pretty much calls into question her love for him
d. He implies that he views their relationship as quid pro quo.i.e. he is only doing this for the sex.
(All of this is backed up by later conversations with the Temple leader (Kee's Father) that both Chandler and Kee have with him separately)
Having missed that preceding dialogue (or maybe some stupid/insensitive comment) in that scene in Tibet we don't get to see WHY she gives him that look. She was probably justified.

Charlotte Lewis despite being incredibly beautiful in
The Golden Child
is none the less, extremely wooden and lifeless acting wise here. Most of the time, she just pouts and looks doe-eyed while reacting/listening to Eddie Murphy, whom she absolutely has no chemistry with. She delivers virtually her entire dialogue in a timid, breathless British accent.
