Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)
Member Rating:  
Adapted from the "Destroyer" series of novels and comic books (not exactly the level of Ian Fleming), Remo Williams (Fred Ward) is a New York cop who works for a top-secret government agency accountable directly to the President of the U.S. After his reluctant induction into this agency, Remo is trained in a near-magical Korean martial arts form by Chiun (Joel Grey) in great sequences where walking on water is taken in stride. After his training, Remo goes after a corrupt arms manufacturer with connections in the U.S. military and acquires the necessary help-mate in the form of Major Rayner Fleming (Kate Mulgrew). Antics at the Statue of Liberty and other stunts enliven the action, but cannot make up for comic-book level characters. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    I Loved this movie growing up. It stuck with me all this time. The action scenes through out the movie were ahead of its time.

    My family and I absolutely loved this movie. It takes the art of revenge to a whole new level while still keeping a sense of humor. I am glad Remo Williams is on our side!
