Director: Guy Hamilton

Writer: Christopher Wood

From novel: The Destroyer by Richard Sapir and Warren Murphy

Music Composed by: Craig Safan

Producer: Larry Spiegel

Keywords: Action/Comedy, Martial Arts

An unwilling NYPD cop "dies" on the job and is assigned to CURE, a secret organization formed to bring ultimate sanction to those who manipulate the system and get away with their crimes. Given plastic surgery and renamed Remo Williams, he learns the martial art of shinanju from Korean master Chiun and trades fast food for rice in a quick month of training. CURE targets Grove, a defense contractor committing large scale fraud. Intended to be a series of films, but followups were never produced. Low budget 1980s action; ridiculous martial arts scenes; hanging around the Statue of Liberty: good stuff.
