had seen Remo in the 80's when it originally came out. I remembered it as good old fashioned adventure, as I watched it I remembered the plot, no swearing or sex scenes or graphic gore, wholesome yet gutsy, the whole family enjoyed it (including our 20 year old son who is used to the movies of today,blood and gore etc.) One for all the family really.

Forgot how great this film is.Saw it when it first came out and loved it then.Very 1980s but as i enjoyed the 80s[ rather too well i recollect] it was right up my street.Action and humour on every corner.A must see film.

I'm not sure that this is technically a B-Movie (since Chiun's makeup got an Oscar nomination in 1985) but this movie has the charm of a B-Movie. I own the Region 1 fullscreen edition and finally gave up on MGM releasing a proper widescreen edition. The Region 2 one fit the bill and was pretty cheap. Thanks Amazon UK!

Remo - the DVD
The books were very funny. The movie is okay. I think they should have carried on with the series, probably the characters would have developed well. Read more
