remo williams was a decent, entertaining movie that flopped in theaters. a tv pilot was also produced, and but didn't lead to a series order.

based on the popular the destroyer series of novels (of which there is now over 150 published), it had huge potential.

not all that 'surprising' given its lackluster performance at the box office, more a 'disappointment'.. although hollywood has made far worse.

What in the world. You just gave me a flashback of remembering seeing the video cover at the VHS rental place when I was a small kid and thinking that movie looked super cool. Never ended up seeing it though.

Man I came here to say that. With a subtitle like "The Adventure Begins" it really does beg for a sequel. It's a fun little movie.

I'm almost certain there was more than one episode of Remo Williams. But all I can remember is Roddy McDowall as a martial arts guru of some sort, and Remo using the spray from a water hose to get off the roof of a building.
