Remo Williams delivers

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was one of my favorite movies as a wee lad. I hadn’t seen it in well over ten years until Felicity and Loren and I watched it last week. It was even better than I remembered.

Remo: You know, Chiun, there are times when I really like you.
Chiun: Of course. I am Chiun.
Remo: And there are times when I could really kill you.
Chiun: Good. We will practice that after dinner.

That movie should have had many, many low-budget sequels.

It was one of my favorites, too. Which, of course, is why you got to see it as a wee lad!

I like Chiun's quote along the lines of "perfection is a path, not a destination." More philosophical than humorous, I guess, but that's good too. Deep thinking and great humor all in one movie -- how awesome is that? :)

That quote sounds like a "you had to be there" kind of quote. You know, in your head it sounds funny/cool/bada**/menacing but to the passer by it kinda sounds like a gay couple expressing there feelings after a few too many drinks.
What the heck tho, I'll check it out. Fred Ward is fairly entertaining.

It looks like it's only available in full-screen version. Phbbbt.

Yeah, I wasn't happy about that either, but it's still worth it.
