I just never felt that Grove was that evil a guy worthy of accelerating Remo's mission. Iw ould have rather had them adapt one of the many stories from the book series. In the series Smith was a much more interesting character and the interplay between him and Remo is always entertaining.Overall the plot was weak. Sinanju being the "sun source of all martial arts".Wilford Brimly is probably the biggest departure from the books cast as Harold Smith. Joel Gray does a marvelous job of Chiun the Master of Sinanju the latest in a line of assasins dating back a millenia or two. Of course Presidents now boast about violating the constitution but these stories are from a more innocent age.In the movie Fred Ward is perfectly cast as Remo Williams named in a very amusing way - "We put a lot of thought into it." The theory being that the President needed a tool to combat evil that could be fought only by violating the Constitution. They were gems of wit and wisdom.Basically it is about a cop recruited to be a supersecret agent for the government for an agency called CURE. The books were fun, funny and contained much social satire. This is one movie where the sequel would have probably been a much better movie if for no other reason than actors and director would get into The Destroyer legend.I loved the books at least up until Richard Sapir passed away. "I saw this in the theater when it came out and anxiously awaited the sequels.
