"Remo Williams The Adventure Begins: When?"

I'm just waiting (joylessly) for the announcement of remakes for, The Wraith, The Breakfast Club and for that matter any and all of the John Hughes catalogue.

All else dishonors the house of Sinanju.

Lets see, there was a scene where the villain, knowing when and where Remo was going to infiltrate, set up a kill zone with men with submachine guns and sawed off shotguns with room sweeper buckshot. Once Remo jumps the fence, the floodlights cut on and all the goons open fire. Remo proceeds to either dodge, or "push" the bullets away using air from his open palms. After he kills everyone on the field, and chiun shows up, Remo tells him in frustration that he's got a bullet hole in his leather jacket.

If they follow the books i'm there.

GO, HOLLYWOOD, GO!!

Now all he hears is "fist"!!!

I think I could get on board a remake of this but not if they take it too seriously.

Any speculation on who will play Chiun?

monkey. boy.

The Art of Douchebaggery....by...AssimovL ives.

After you read it, FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!

Hire Stephen Chow as Chuin, bring back Fred Ward (I WISH!) and let the crazy fun begin! It's good for at LEAST a trilogy, with the decades of novels that've already been written. Just made sure that the guy playing Remo isn't a pretty boy and knows his stuff. I'd suggest Ray Parks, but I really don't think his acting's up to the task.

Lame.

And the asian "master" guy was laughable.

And honestly... "The Destroyer"? What exactly does he destroy? Buildings? Planets? With a name like that, you'd better be able to do planetary damage, I'm talking cities smashed into rubble with some kind of matter-leveling power. Because otherwise it's a stupid name the character doesn't deserve.

After "The Dark Knight," you'd think Charles Roven could find something more spine-tingling than this.

The Destroyer? Give me a break.

The name "The Destroyer" struck me as pretty silly (on principle alone) but depending on what he destroys, maybe it makes sense. You know, from a mind/body perspective. Maybe he messes with the minds of his victims before he kicks their asses or kills them? Sort of "destroys their lives"?

I've never read the comic so I don't know. Maybe someone could enlighten me.

At the beginning, Remo's just a schlub cop, forced into being trained by Chiun into the ultimate assassin against his will (and Chiun's, who thinks anyone who's not Korean isn't worth training). However, over the course of the 100+ book series, Remo becomes QUITE the bad@$$, easily dodging bullets, ripping guys arms out of their sockets and beating them to death with them and inducing women into multiple blackout orgasms simply by touching certain nerve centers in their wrists. Think of Bruce Lee with super-strength and a quirky sense of humor.

Marvel put out an over-sized b/w series for a short time back in the 90s, but the vast majority of the enthusiasm for Remo Williams stems from the novels, which are hilarious, action-packed and features frequent bickering between the sarcastic Remo and frequently-annoyed Chiun. And what Remo actually destroys are threats to the U.S. Government, which can't be dealt with through conventional means.
