Did anyone else know there was a Remo Williams TV pilot?

If it's the one that ends with Remo doing the Jesus imitation then yes, I've seen it. Fun, if not exactly high art.

As it happens, I have known this for about two days.

A friend was asking about a site offering DVDs of his favorite TV show.

I browsed around and found they had a considerable "Unaired TV Pilots" section. Bootlegs all. Remo Williams can be yours for $12.95.

I noticed they offer a copy of Plymouth identical to the DVD I have, a murky transfer from VHS.

Does anyone know if Remo Williams, The Adventure Begins, was the last big screen Hollywood film to have an actor in yellowface for non-parody reasons? For those who didn't know Williams Korean mentor/tormentor, Chiun, was played by Joel Gray in the movie.

I found it while I was doing my blog post about the movie some weeks back. As it turns out, the pilot was pre-empted for the first 45 minutes by some news event (presidential speech, iirc) and only the last 15 showed.

And that was the end of that.
