A secret government organization in the service of presidents called CURE fakes the death of a NY patrolman and inducts him into the organization. They give him a new identity Remo Williams (Fred Ward), and give him a trainer Chiun (Joel Grey) master of Korean martial arts Sinanju. Based on the series "The Destroyer" by Richard Sapir and Warren Murphy.
This is definitely cheesy and pulpy. Joel Grey has great fun as the Korean master. The training sequences are fantastic and does all the well worn classic clinches. He's dodging bullets, and walking on water. It's all fun. I'm also amazed that they filmed an action sequence on the Statue of Liberty. It fun to see. The serious part of the movie doesn't work as well. Maj. Rayner Fleming (Kate Mulgrew) gathers evidence of defective weapons and faces a deadly weapons manufacturer. It's the more forgettable part of the movie.
