RIP

I always hoped they would've done a part 2 to Remo Williams.

I understand you and I I feel you. There were a lot of intentionally cheesy movies in the mid to late 80s and not enough people capitalized on it. I think a Remo Williams 2 would have been great

I also think Robert Townsend missed the bus on not doing a full attack of the street pimps movie, especially after the success of I'm gonna get you sucka and his own Hollywood Shuffle.

Among others, Tremors was great. Also, a movie called Miami Blues with him and Alec Baldwin.....Ward had his full mouth of false teeth stolen

I remember when this movie came out back '85.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!

And after seeing that movie, I was inspired to read "The Destroyer" paperback series and the later comic book series by Marvel Comics.

For me; no matter what films he appeared in, Fred Ward will always be the real Remo Williams.
Thank you Mr. Ward for the movies and the memories.
RIP.

The destroyer was hot fire. I have the graphic comic in storage somewhere. Chun stayed busted his ass up
