Fred Ward had a good down to Earth quality about him that resonated with the common Man. He never made a bad movie and will be greatly missed.

Wilford Brimley was an accomplished actor who starred in one of my favorite films ever in The Thing and, whenever anyone hears his name, they always say “diabeetus”. He was a legend.

The beach run scene was interesting because Ward wasn’t in his 20’s. He turned 43 in the year this was released so he was in amazing shape.

The idea that Remo is bad....is just wild to me. Everyone loved this movie

I can confirm, this movie rocked when it came out. From a young teen perspective. This was the A-Team era

You hit it really close to the head with the kids movie, I saw this when I was in the 10-12 year old range and I have nothing but nostalgia for it. I absolutely loved this movie.

This video really brings back memories of watching REMO WILLIAMS with my family when I was a kid and thinking it was a lot of fun. My mom was a huge movie fan and we would talk about movies all the time. She loved Christine and the original The Fog from 1980. She passed away this week. I am so going to miss her comforting voice and talking to her about a movie she just saw on TV. I want to thank you Jason, Erin and the entire crew for lifting my spirits and taking my mind off my grief, if just for a little while. Being a part of the SBIG community and laughing my ass off at one of your videos reminds me that the world is not such a lonely place. Again, I thank you.

Erin's reaction to the fingering joke deserves an Oscar

I remember watching this movie as a kid. I thought it was awesome then and it still is

Bro... There is nothing bad about Remo Williams. Hell if anything you just showed people an amazing movie they probably never have seen! The books were pretty incredible too!

This is actually a great film. As in it has genuine emotional scenes, the hero's journey, great character arc, and characters who you become invested into (I loved Chiun and when Conn commits suicide to protect the agency and his fellow colleagues... I was like no way). It has A LOT great subtle comedy. I watched it as a kid on HBO. I re-watched several times within the last 2 years and one of the few films that was better than I remembered. It's a shame they didn't make a sequel.

I love that you’re watching this. Such an awesome film. This is by far the best movie you’ve watched on this channel. Btw, the Statue of Liberty was restored in the 80’s and for a few years was covered in that scaffolding. So that really was shot on location at the Statue.

I don't see it mentioned already, but the Remo character's 'handler,' the African-American gentleman in the hat and glasses, was played by J.A. Preston, who went on to play the judge in 'A Few Good Men.' Talented cast!

I can’t believe Jason missed Michael Pataki (the bad guy answering the cell phone), who was in Rocky IV as Drago’s handler the same year this was released.

I like how changing his face meant surgically removing his mustache.

Liked it as a kid, still like it today. To me it's a tongue in cheek take on superhero and spy movies and it does that very well. A lot better than everything Disney puts out lately.

When I was age 5, this was one of my favorite films and Remo Williams was my ideal action hero. To be a complete human weapon facing all kinds of threats, even bare handed. The late Fred Ward with most of his own stunts, played the part pretty well. Joel Gray as Chiun (Golden-Globe nominated performance) was hilarious. Also the movie was an Oscar nominee for Best Make-up. Loved the story with it's action, humor and all the cheesy-ness. The Statue of Liberty sequence; part of the original movie poster, was what I was excited to see. The original score by Craig Safan is good and it's main hero theme is still exciting to me. The song,"What If (Remo's Theme)" by Tommy Shaw is very underrated, but decent. A tv series was planned and a pilot was made called "The Prophecy" (1988) on ABC. They kept the main theme/score, Remo & Chiun were recasted and I thought it was fun to watch. Dick Clark was executive producer of the movie and the tv pilot. Even in some recent years, they talked about revamping Remo Williams. Shane Black was interested at one point. But it looks like a newer tv series is in the works, either inspired by the movie or closer to the original 'Destroyer' novels.

Watched this movie as a kid many times while going through my ninja phase. My only disappointment was not getting the promised sequels.

Remo Williams is based on The Destroyer pulp paperback series, featuring the character Remo Williams. It fared poorly in theaters and received mixed reviews from critics, although it did earn Joel Grey a Golden Globe nomination. The film and a Remo Williams television pilot both credited Dick Clark as executive producer. The film was supposed to be the first of a series based on The Destroyer series of novels A significant setpiece within the film takes place at the Statue of Liberty, which was surrounded by scaffolding for its centenary restoration during this period.

Can confirm, as a kid, I thought this was the coolest film ever made.

This movie isn’t so bad it’s good…it’s just flat out awesome!

Finally! Amazing 80’s memory! Here in Brazil, this unbelievable movie was called “Remo - Desarmado e Perigoso” (Remo - Unarmed and Dangerous), but popularly “Remo - Descarado e Mentiroso” (Remo - Shameless and Liar)… probably due to his ability to dodge bullets and walk on water.

I can confirm, yes, when i was a kid, I loved this film. I remember the big story about this movie was filming the action scene around the Statue of Liberty during its renovation.

I've never thought of 'Remo Williams' as a 'SBIG" film. It's just an under-rated good film. And SOOOOOOOO 80's.

This is a film the definitely identifies the Gen Xers in the crowd. Those of us that grew up in the 80s will have a VERY different opinion about this film. It bobbed at BO but I watched about thirty times on TV and i always loved it. This transfer is super good, nice to see it got that much respect in the process.

Finally! I saw this in the theater with my father. When I was a kid there were supposed to be sequels and they were going to make it into a franchise, but it didn’t do well enough. I’m so looking forward to watching this.

Saw this when I was a little kid, for some reason I thought it was the greatest action movie of the decade.

The more eyes on this stuff the better! Truly a classic of the Genre. Honestly I wish we had gotten more from Fred Ward before he passed a couple years ago. He was a Truly amazing performer and a favorite for myself and many others

I loved this movie as a kid and still love it today. Really an overlooked gem and it's unfortunate the TV series didn't live up to movie. This was meant to be a blue collar James Bond and was originally supposed to be a trilogy (hence the title). Fun fact: Fred Ward was 43 in this movie and did most of the stunts himself.

This movie is simply incredible.....Fred Ward is just awesome in this, just an average joe etc etc etc. Thanks for sharing, guys.

Hot take before watch: This is one of the greatest B-movies ever made. It does not fit the philosophy of So Bad because all of the production and acting choices were top of the industry at the time. The storyline is the epitome of '80s action films. The "problematic cultural issues" of the film were 100% mainstream at the time. The stunt work is so damn good it should have been awarded and recognized. We have the iconic diabetes spokesman Wilfred Brimley showing how a pasty old man could play characters that were somehow menacing. Any kid that watched Saturday afternoon local station Kung Fu Theater absolutely lost their minds watching this. This movie hits you on a deep level like Star Wars if you are a genre fan. I sure hope it gets the thumbs up from the crew.

You're too old to enjoy this, I really liked it when I was young. It still has it's moments, Fred Ward does a great job.

Remo is an Excellent movie. No amount bad at all. Period.

Remo Williams is pure gold... classic 80's to the bone! C'mon, only two men walked on water: Jesus and the Korean guy, Chiun.

I've alway had a soft spot for this movie for some reason! It's got a charm to it, I think. . . I certainly wouldn't deem it SBIG. I'd just call it a good, cheesy, tongue-in-cheek, fun movie to watch!

I saw this movie as a kid on cable. I've never considered it a bad movie. I considered it an underrated movie. The only problem I ever had with this movie is they had Joel Grey in yellowface.

Yes! I watched that movie a gazillion times as a child when it came out! Fred Ward was majestic!

I remember seeing this as a kid with my friends and we were so stoked for a sequel because it was “the adventure begins”. I think it ended with the beginning.

I see a classic plot here - Mustached Men's Organisation (MMO) "recruited" a mustached guy , demoted him by removing his facial hair and now he must climb up the ladder to earn the right to wear mustache once more and be a man again.

This movie is actually amazing, watched it MANY years ago and i class it up there with Big Trouble In Little China!

Wow, I never thought you'd react to this haha I love this movie. Fred Ward (RIP) was so awesome. This film was also directed by Guy Hamilton. The same Guy Hamilton that directed Bond movies like Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, and The Man with the Golden Gun. I'm not going to lie... I saw this on HBO as a teenager in the early 2000s. That's probably why I love it so much. I have nostalgia for it lol.

Absolutely loved this movie as a kid, still do ❤️

I loved this movie.
