	Movies - Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins is a 1985 film. The action film featured Fred Ward, Joel Grey and Kate Mulgrew. It was directed by Guy Hamilton. The character is based on The Destroyer pulp paperback series. Despite the title, this was the only movie with Remo Williams. The movie got some good reviews but it was not successful enough to launch a series.

Remo Williams (played by Ward) is a tough street cop recruited as a secret agent. He is trained to be human killing machine by his aged Korean Martial-arts master Chiun (played by Grey in heavy makeup). Though Remo's training is extremely rushed by Chiuns' standards, Remo learns such super-human skills as dodging bullets. The Chiun character, who is stereotypically nationalistic, racist and sexist, is both the comic relief and wise mentor figure in the film. Chiun and Remo practice a fictional form of Korean martial-arts named Sinanju. Remo is sent to investigate a corrupt weapons procurement program within the US Army.
