Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins
A hero who doesn't exist must save America from an enemy we never knew we had.
Patron Exclusive Review Episode 84

Fred Ward (Tremors) tried to convince movie audiences in 1985 that he had “the right stuff” to be the American James Bond when he starred as pulp novel hero Remo Williams. Would the wannabe action star move more like Bruce Lee if he wasn’t learning kung fu from song-and-dance man Joel Grey in yellowface?
