    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Some of the actors who auditioned for the part of Remo Williams claimed to be proficient in the martial art of Sinanju, not realizing it was a fiction derived from "The Destroyer" novels on which the movie was based.
    • Goofs
      When the Dobermann follows Remo across the wire, the Dobermann's feet disappear behind a matte painting used to conceal the flat surface. The wire itself is invisible, with only the division between the matte and the background defining it. At the end of the shot the Dobermann even starts to run across the "wire".
    • Quotes

      Remo Williams: How old are you? I mean really, you are old, now aren't you?

      Chiun: For an apricot, yes. For a head of lettuce, even more so. For a mountain, I have not even begun in years. For a man, I am just right.

    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema and video versions were cut by 35 secs by the BBFC with edits to kicks and blows during the opening fight scene. The cuts are restored in the MGM DVD release.

    This is an 80's action film, not the Matrix...
    Look all you movie snobs out there. This is a classic 80's action flick and nothing more. Sure there were some effects, but that is not the focus of the story. It is the interplay between Remo and Chuin that makes this one shine. It has classic and memorable lines. And, it was good enough for major plot points to be stolen later by the writers of the Matrix and Men in Black. If you want better action sequences, see those. If you want to see 80's action in all of its glory, get this one. One last point: It is sad that the DVD doesn't have a Widescreen option.
