Brace yourself for hilarious, action-packed adventure! When a street-smart NYPD cop (Fred Ward, Tremors) regains consciousness after a bizarre mugging, he has a new face and a new identity! Now he’s Remo Williams, the #1 recruit of a top-secret organization, and he’s toppling evil at every turn—even atop the Statue of Liberty—in this ’80s action-comedy classic. Trained by a quirky martial arts master (Joel Grey, Cabaret) to dodge bullets, brave terrifying heights and thwart attackers with his bare hands, Remo becomes the ultimate criminal exterminator. But when he faces off against a corrupt millionaire and his army of henchmen, the real adventure begins! Helmed by Guy Hamilton, the outstanding director of Funeral in Berlin, Force 10 from Navarone, The Mirror Crack’d, Evil Under the Sun and four James Bond classics including Goldfinger and Live and Let Die, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins features stellar support from Wilford Brimley (Hard Target), J.A. Preston (Body Heat), George Coe (The Entity) and Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway of TV’s Star Trek: Voyager).

I remember renting the VHS as a kid and liking it. It was my introduction to Fred Ward, who is a vastly underappreciated actor.

[Dragon78]

Sounds interesting.

"Oh, yellow face is tight!"

is what I'd imagine Pitch Meetings saying.

Good news for those who missed the ltd. edition pressing a few year back, or don't have region-free capabilities.

[DukeTogo84]

Never seen this. Any good?

Yeah, sounds like my kind of movie and I like Fred Ward. I'll be buying this.

It's a lot of fun actually. Quite surprising.

[dylrichard02]

I've been hoping this was coming.

[Michael24]

Haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. All I remember is the finale at the Statue of Liberty, shot when it was covered in scaffolding undergoing restoration.

[Dailyan]

A bit disappointing that they aren't giving it a new scan.

[bryantburnette]

I will have one. Hell, I might have two.

[darkness2918]

Missed it the first time from TT might pick it up this time.

[HD Goofnut]

This will probably be the same as the TT transfer. The Arrow disc is superior anyway.

[Fat Phil]

I saw Remo for the first time a few months ago (courtesy of Arrow's blu-ray) so I have no nostalgic ties to it, but enjoyed the hell out of it nontheless. Heaps 'o fun. But hey, I could watch Fred Ward read from the phone book while he eats a sandwich and be thouroughly entertained so I don't know if my opinion counts for anything.

I am Korean and I'm telling you Joel Grey nails it.

I absolutely love this film and own the Twilight Time bluray and my original DVD.
