  This action adventure was meant as start of a James Bond-esque franchise, but flopped at the cinemas back in the day. That doesn't mean this isn't an enjoyable film. It doesn't take itself too serious, has wonderful parts of humor, especially in the relation between Remo and his Asian master. That tongue-in-cheek attitude is necessary if you deliver a movie where people walk on water. The majority of the stunt work is good old-fashioned stuff, with actual people hanging from all kinds of high places. the highlight being a chase around the scaffolded statue of Liberty. Sure, the pace and filming of the film feels a bit dated today, but that doesn't lessen the enjoyment. Entertaining, likable action film that would have deserved a larger audience.

  This movie has action, comedy, outrageous and silly stunts... it's stupid, but fun. It could have been a better movie, though. It needed some funnier jokes, a couple of better actors maybe, at least for the bad guys, and maybe they could rewrite the script a little. As it is,… More

As it is, the ending isn't satisfactory, we need more to the story, but the rest of it is mostly entertaining.

  One of my many guilty pleasures. Joel Grey is fantastic as the ancient but wry martial artist who mentors Fred Ward's stumbling, bumbling persona into a skilled but reluctant hero. Silly, outlandish and fun to watch.

  Haha wow!! flashback to my childhood bigtime!! this was like....a slightly adult version of 'The Karate Kid' but still kinda childish, almost like a TV movie but slightly expensive (I'm guessing) haha First time I came across Fred Ward and I was quite hooked on his action man status, I used to watch this allot, the best bits being the high flying stunts and of course Remo being trained by his 'Mr Miyagi' type instructor..Chiun. Very much in the same style as The A-Team but with deaths, but not horrible obvious deaths hehe This is now VERY dated ;)

  Spectaular and funny adventure film of a street smart cop turned as the no. 1 recruit of top secret organisation.

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

  A super hero movie before its time.

  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.
