    80's cheese feast action,fred ward kicks ass.

    Much like the first X-Men film , Remo Williams does an excellent job with the characters. The problem is the initial adventure is rather soft. Plus, when this came out we weren't ready for an outside govt. agency doing extracarricular things. (Even though the book series this is ...( read more)based on was extremely popular.)

    Now with terrorism as a fear, Remo and Chiun will seem rather quaint compared to Jack Bauer.

    I still want to be Remo Williams. I want Chun to teach me.

    I think the critics were a little harsh on this one. It's a fun movie, one that is enjoyable no matter how many times you watch it. Fred Ward is well cast and does a good job. Joey Grey is also fine. Fast paced, fun, amusing. The film has comedy, action, suspense and adventure. M...( read more)indless fun.

    Well this was an ambitious film; just look @ its title. They were really hoping for this series to take off. Unfortunately it bombed & a sequel was never made (but they did have hopes of a TV series; only airing the pilot & scrapping the rest). Actually (even if not having muc...( read more)h success) Remo William is pretty good even if you only get the beginning of his adventures. I like Fred Ward but he is a little out of his element; the great performance comes from Joel Grey as Chiun the master of Korean martial arts Sinanju. Chiun dodges bullets better then Keanu Reeves in the Matrix..scheduled to be remade (there's a big fucking surprise)

    A truly original movie where the view of law enforcement can be as funny as it can be serious. Joel Grey is as funny as hilarious can be in having the job of training Fred Ward in the art of martial arts. See this it is undeniably hilarious.
