Agreed.  Unfortunately, people seem to be staying away from this movie
in droves, at least in the first few days.  I hope it makes enough money
to become a series... I really enjoyed getting a chance to see Chiun and
Remo in action.  Much better (and funnier) than seeing Chuck Norris or
Arnold Schwartzenegger try to out-Rambo Rambo.

For all you Destroyer fanatics out there, this movie doesn't correspond
to any of the books.  (Not that I have an encyclopedic knowlege of the
Destroyer series, but events in the movie don't *seem* to be from the
"origin" book, and yet it *is* the "Remo meets Chiun" story.)  Despite
the discrepancies, I'd have to say that if you liked the books, you will
like the movie.
