Certainly not a great movie but I loved it. A tamed down version of the characters from "The Destroyer" novels it's just plain old fun. And I like Fred Ward. Joel Grey was great as Chuin.I wish there had been a... Full review

I can't beleive this movie has such high ratings. It was AWFUL! then again... maybe that was the appeal??? A stereotypical tough-guy NY cop being trained by a second rate Mr. Miyagi for some clandsetine government agency... Throw in some pre-star... Full review

Remo Williams (played by Fred Ward of Tremors fame) is the destroyer, a man that learns martial arts from an angry and condescending Korean master named "chiung". I never heard of this movie until I witnessed it on AMC movies... Full review

This is an excellent movie that blurs the line between action/adventure and comedy in the tradition of Big Trouble in Little China. The one-liners from Remo (Fred Ward) Chiun (Joel Grey) and Mr. Smith (Wilford Brimley) are reason enough to... Full review
This is an 80's action film, not the Matrix...

Look all you movie snobs out there. This is a classic 80's action flick and nothing more. Sure there were some effects, but that is not the focus of the story. It is the interplay between Remo and Chuin that... Full review

I can't believe that I just got around to reviewing Remo Williams. This is again one of those movies that I have been watching forever and this movie deserves repeated viewing. It is a typical corny 80's action flick and... Full review
Very entertaining, yet often misunderstood.

This movie inspires different reactions from people, depending on the expectations they bring to their first viewing. It's a semi-serious, semi-spoof Action/Comedy/Crime/Thriller/Martial Arts movie that doesn't fit neatly into any category. It is tremendously entertaining, as long as you aren't... Full review
A good mixture of action and comedy.

This is a good movie...about a cop, who is recruited to be part of this secret agency. He is basically recruited there against his will, as he is given a new face and even a new name. It is funny... Full review

I'm not sure, but I bet that if one were to do research on the most shown film on cable/satellite,REMO WILLIAMS would be in the top three. It seems like every month its being shown on Cinemax or The Movie... Full review

This is a fairly good, evenly paced movie which never seems to lag, focusing more on using skill to get out of situations, rather than being a typical shoot-em-up film. Clever dialogue and narrow escapes make this a fun movie. ... Full Review
