Remo Williams

I remember liking it when it was new. I watched it again not too long ago; it's a schlocky action comedy, but still better than most of the drivel produced by Hollyweird these days.

Yes but that is not saying much.

Yes but that is not saying much.

True that. It’s not going to be mistaken for Casablanca or The Longest Day, but it’s an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. Besides, where else would you gets such gems as:
Why are you such a pain in the ass?
Because it is the shortest route to your brain.

I remember it but had forgotten it until you posted this...you can also ad the movie TANK with James Garner to the list of other forgotten movies to watch. Maybe we need a "forgotten movies" thread.

Did you call me a p*ssy communist?

Did you call me a p*ssy communist?

Of course not (or is that a line in the movie)?

It's a repeated line in the movie.

ETA: sorry about the lousy video, but it was the only one I could find.

I liked Magnum better than any show on TV; Did You See the Sunrise was about as gritty as it could get back then.



...

The end of that episode is one of the all-time greatest in TV history, IMHO. Magnum is on GetTV from 5-7pm on weekdays; unlike most of the stuff that's on my TV as a timing mechanism, I have a tendency to actually watch Magnum while it's on.

I love that movie but haven't seen it in years (I'll fix that though)...thx for the reminder and I'm glad to know I wasn't drunk typing something.

Tank was a very funny movie and one of James Garner's best performances

The movie sucked but "The Destoyer" book series is pretty good.

Didn't see the movie, but agree that the books were pretty good, at least at first. There are some comedy elements in the gook. (that was supposed to be "books." Might be a Freudian slip.) Skinny old Korean dude who loves soap opera's is also the most fearsome and deadly warrior in the world. It was wearing out on me by about book number 47 or so... May still have a copy of Created, The Destroyer. It was excellent!

I’m not ashamed to admit I liked the Remo movie. I’ll bet it’s been over 30 years since I’ve watched it. When I get the time I’ll see if I can find it on Netflix.
