Remo Williams is the name given to a former New York City cop (Fred Ward) who is recruited and trained to become a secret agent for a super secret government agency. He is trained by a Chiun (Joel Grey), master of Sinanju a Korean martial art. Harold Smith (Wilford Brimley) is Williams boss and Conn MacCleary (JA Presron) is his handler. They direct him to investigate George Grove (Charles Cioffi) a crooked DoD contractor. Williams runs into US Army Major Rayner Fleming (Kate Mulgrew) more than once as he investigates the crooked businessman.
Remo Williams is the main character of a series of books called The Destroyer. Over 150 books have published to date in this series.
The best parts of this movie are the stunts especially the fight on the scaffolding surrounding the Statue of Liberty. I would love to know more about how some of the stunts were done. The rest of the movie was kind of ridiculous and not in a fun way.
