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'm still waiting for the adventure to continue! Purchased this copy because Netflix doesn't carry it and I missed watching it. Action-adventure loaded with humor, satisfies to the nth... Hadn't seen it in at least a decade, and it's held up well, only "datable" elements: scene sequenced @ Statue of Liberty captured the moment in time when... the Statue was being refurbished; no observable CGI; and there's no on-screen use of mobile phones or laptop/pad devices--which was a welcome part of the story.
