Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack … one second… ok I’m back… Reeeeemooooo Willllliammss… hey, is this where The Adventure Begins… oh was that it? seems like you were going somewhere with that. Just one and done then? Alright, I guess we will just take what we got then. A new identity in the ICU of Amazon Prime where we are shocked to find our new face looks a lot like our old face… sans mustachio. Noooo! Why Action/Adventure non-starter series from 1985 staring our favorite Fred Ward would you do this to us! Oh well, I guess it could be worse. At least you didn’t cast an American in an Asian role, as was the style at the time. Wait! He’s not Korean!!

Anywho, Welcome to our top secret organization consisting of a literal bank of computers, two guys with mustaches … not you… and a trainer of some martial arts we made up, who will probably kill you before this is all over. So, All I can promise you is sugar babies for breakfast, pressure point pleasures for lunch, and dreams of Janeway for sleep. Star Trek Connection! Your vacations will be two minute rice … when you’re not looking over your shoulder for Dobermans, and if you live to draw a pension, it’ll be a sequel

Randy, You move like a pregnant yak.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985) – Is this a good movie? Compared to an apricot, yes. compared to a head of lettuce, even more so. But for a mid 80s action movie, it is just right. #YouDrive LikeAMonkeyInHeat
