This movie is without a doubt my favorite action comedy ever. It is a hilarious and action-packed piece of entertainment. Fred Ward plays the title character. Remo Williams is the name he is assigned after being kidnapped and force to work for a quasi-government agency known as CURE. Initially, Remo is reluctant to become CURE's trained assassin but eventually acknowledges the noble nature of the task given to him. As an ex-cop and ex-marine with no family, Remo is the perfect man to act as an assassin and spy for the American government.
Remo is then trained by the Chiun, the Korean Master of Sinanju. He learns how to meditate, run well, light fires, and dodge bullets. The dialogue between Remo and Chiun in this movie is absolutely hilarious. This movie has big laughs and big stunts. There are some scenes involving dogs as well as an incredible scene atop the Statue of Liberty that have to be seen to be believed. The action in this movie is nothing short of phenomenal, the characters interesting, and the humor on target. The music is also tremendous. Remo Williams is a cross between the Karate Kid and James Bond but with a better sense of humor than either of those characters. Go see this movie or rent it. 4 stars out of 4.
