"Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" is a fantastic action film with a great sense of humor, an appealing cast and an intelligent script. Fred Ward is the unlikely hero. At first, he's Stanley Makin, a tough New York cop who tries to break up a mugging. He gets attacked instead by the muggers and their victim.

Remo is supposed to be the agency's enforcer, tracking down powerful and corrupt criminals who openly defy the justice system. He can always refuse the job, and really be dead.

Neither is too happy about the arrangements. Chiun complains that Remo moves "like a pregnant yak." Remo quips that Chiun talks "like a Chinese fortune cookie." Despite their animosity and cultural differences, the two eventually become friends and form a sort of father-son relationship. In a way, the two need each other. Remo has never had a family, and Chiun doesn't seem to have one either. Through their loneliness and training, the two create an insenarahlc hnnH Enter the villain: George Grove, played by Charles Cioffi, is a slimy businessman. He cheats on his taxes, and anyone who investigates his business dealings | "disappears." His company I makes dangerously defective rifle parts. His space defense system prototype is nothing more than a fraud to rake in profits. Enter the damsel in distress: Rayner Fleming, played by Kate Mulgrew, is a pretty, headstrong Army major. Her attempts to investigate Grove's business are met by red tape and locked computer files, mainly because her superior is on Grove's payroll. She gets too close to the truth for her own good. The agencv calls Remo out nf his training. Grove needs to be taken out quickly, before he gets government backing for his pseudo-defense work and before Fleming gets killed. "It'd be my pleasure," Rcmo says. Ward is the perfect choice for Remo. He has rough good looks and raw talent. While he's meant to be a tough guy, he also has a vulnerable side and is prone to clumsiness. Grey steals the show as the Yoda-like Chiun.

Hopefully, his wonderful performance will be remembered when it's time for Oscar nominations. The supporting cast is also fine, especially Wilford Brimley as the secret agency's leader. Cioffi plays the icy Grove to a chilly perfection. The only disappointment is Mulgrew. Although her character is a tough, independent female, she does not fit into the story well. By the climax, she is reduced to little more than window dressing. Despite this flaw, Christopher Wood's script deserves credit. He has made a near-perfect blend of humor and action. There's also a touch of emotionalism in the relationship between Remo and Chiun. The script never becomes too funny or too action-packed, but is a great hybrid. "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" is a blue-collar James Bond of sorts. It's exciting, fantastic, funnv. in telligent entertainment with a top-notch cast and a fine script. ; B/.JK 1LACK V o from 11 SlEDyfc ^ 256-03 E DELIVERY don, and Downtown ? BONANZA!
