Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)

Synopsis: A policeman is kidnapped and his death is faked; he is then subjected to plastic surgery and submitted to an intensive training to become an agent of a secret government agency. His first target is a villainous weapons manufacturer. Based on the The Destroyer series of novels by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir, the first installment of which was published in 1971 (but written in 1963) and which continues to this day.

Appraisal: Actioner which entertains, sort of. It's very comic-book-ish. The most remarkable things are Grey's make-up and performance.

Rating: 40
