Out of gratitude for saving their temple, the Three Fates offer Xena (Lucy Lawless) anything she wants. She asks that the Fates alter history so that her brother Lyceas will not be killed -- and that she will never become the evil Warrior Princess she once was. The wish is granted, with one condition: Should Xena kill anyone in her "new life," all things will return to what they were before. But what of Xena's friend and traveling companion Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor), who has likewise been altered in this Alternate Reality? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

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, All Movie Guide
