Movie Reviews of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

Movie Review: Reminds me of Remo Williams
Summary: 2 Stars

If you liked Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins (1985) you may like this movie which is along the same lines - i.e. Man from the west is trained by Kung Fu master to be a force for good. However, if I were to compare, I seem to recall liking Remo Williams a lot more for the humour. Joel Grey in that movie was hilarious as he played out all the oriental stereotypes while at the same time injecting a unique fastidiousness.

This movie's link to the original Jekyll and Hyde story is nothing more than the names of the character played by Adam Baldwin. Like Remo, it was also intended to be a pilot for a TV series, but it wasn't very promising in the execution.

The plot was rather loose and the vengeance motivation is a powerful drive that needs a powerful resolution which I do not get from this movie.

The martial arts by today's standard is rather basic.

I give it two stars cos knowing what I know now, I'd rather watch Remo Williams.

Summary of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

Any connection to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic horror tale is tenuous at best in this action-packed superhero story with dark undertones. Adam Baldwin is San Francisco surgeon Henry Jekyll, whose honeymoon in Hong Kong becomes a nightmare when a triad gang murders his wife and marks him for death. Saved by a mysterious Chinese healer who speaks in fortune cookie clich?s, he becomes a kind of hero-in-training (think The Karate Kid and Mr. Miyagi) with a mystic twist: he discovers the herbal formula to release his inner brute and transforms into a demonic-looking Hyde. The colorful mix of cop show, gangster thriller, and mystic martial arts adventure ends on an anticlimactic note, as if this made-for-TV feature was the pilot for a never-launched TV series, but it's an energetic and spirited film that, for all its kooky clich?s, remains oddly compelling. --Sean Axmaker
