Remo Williams is a classic, too bad, he was a good one.

 

[CyCrazy]

I can only picture him as the Dad in Road Trip.

Underrated odd cult favorite. Kinda like Fred Ward.

Rest in peace.

I was thinking about adding that to my recollection of him as well as from Naked Gun.

I loved Remo Williams as a kid. They played it on HBO all the time in the late 80s. Really liked Escape from Alcatraz and The Right Stuff too for the same reason. Also thought he was funny as the dad in Sweet Home Alabama.

Melvin! One of these days someone's gonna kick your ass!

Ok I was like 95% sure on this. Thanks for saying this.

Wasn't he Joe Dirt's dad?

 

[dahliaclone]

Tremors was his best

 

[dahliaclone]

Strange it just came out. I see he actually died almost a week ago.

 

[KCClone1]

Tremors was his best

Yep. His back and forth with Kevin Bacon made that movie. “Running is not a plan. Running is what you do when the plan fails.”

Strange it just came out. I see he actually died almost a week ago.

I also saw that when giving it a second read. Very weird.

 

[JP4CY]

I remember him most as the dad in 30 Minutes or Less.

 

[baller21]

Wasn't he Joe Dirt's dad?

Yes

 

[CRcyclone6]

He was one of the escapees in Escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood.

I'm probably the only person who's favorite movie of his was Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. That's because I used to read the Remo Williams books when I was a kid long before they made that first movie. I had hoped that The Adventure Begins would be only the first in a long line of Remo Williams movies, but like I said, I'm probably the only person who liked that first and only one.

He was great in Big Business... Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, Fred Ward, Edward Hermann, Michael Gross. Little out of the way comedy, but a movie I always liked and Fred Ward was great in it. RIP.
