NEEDS TO BE PUT ON DVD! GREAT ACTION MOVIE!
NEEDS TO BE PUT DVD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! FANTASTIC ACTION MOVIE WITH FANTASTIC MUSIC! BRING BACK THE CD TOO.

a great motorcycle movie
This is a movie for motorcycle and race enthusiasts especially. Although, anyone who likes action and drama would enjoy it as well. I was impressed with the race footage and the realism of it. The storyline is interesting also. The acting is good but not great. Not a movie for everyone and not a masterpiece, but a solid fun and interesting movie. ... Read more

Anyone would love the Remington Steele TV series!
"Try this for a deep dark secret. There great detective Remington Steele, he doesn't exist! I invented him. Follow. I always loved excitement so I studied, and apprenticed, and put my name on an office. But absolutely nobody knocked down on my door. A female private investigator seemed so... feminine. So I invented a superior. A decidedly masculine superior. Suddenly there were cases around the block! It was working like a charm. Until the day he walked in. With his blue eyes and mysterious past. And before I knew it, he assumed Remington Steele's identity. Now I do the work and he takes the bows. It's a dangerous way to live, but as long as people buy it, I can get the job done. We never mix business with pleasure. Well... almost never. I don't even know his real name!"

This is how some of the episodes began, with this introduction by 'Remington Steele's' assistant, Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist). Now you know the whole story behind Remington Steele. The Remington Steele series were about the cases Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) and his associate Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) cracked many difficult and complicated cases. Also starring were James Read as Murphy Michaels as their co-worker (only in the first season), Janet DeMay as Bernice Foxe their secretary (only for the first season), and Doris Roberts as Mildred Krebs (for the rest of the seasons). Showing occasionally was also Stephanie Zimbalist's father, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Daniel Chalmers, an old friend of 'Remington Steele'.

Murphy Michaels calls Laura Holt to help him investigate a brutal murder. What he doesn't expect is when Remington tags along with her, complaining that Steele would mess up everything. So Remington strikes up a deal with Laura; if he figures out who the murderer is first, Laura must spend a weekend in Paris with him. But, on the other hand, if Laura catches the murderer first, Remington Steele must tell her about one year of his mysterious past. Who will find the murderer first? * I love this episode primarily because of the banter between Pierce Brosnan, Stephanie Zimbalist, and James Read. Also the sparks of jealousy between Remington Steele and Murphy Michaels over Laura is very interesting to watch! Very great ending, too, I might add!

Steele Crazy After All These Years
Definatly one of my fav. eps, this video allows me to enjoy it again and again! I love the tension between Murphy, Steele, and Laura, as Laura and Steele vie for who can solve the case first. I love the bet that they make. "One week in Paris, for one year of your life." This is the episode where sparks really start to fly between Steele and Laura, you see them even closer two eps later in Vintage Steele, but that's a whole different story! ... Read more

Amazing show!
What a show.... what a couple...
This is one of the best shows ever shown on tv. Intelligent, great writing, sexual tension, and comedy that would sum up the show of Remington Steele!
I love Stephanie Zimbalist's role as Laura Holt... Beautiful, smart, and fashionable! Most of the stuff she worn on the show is still very fashionable today.. very CK, Banana Republic, Club Monoco like stuff..
I just love her very real and beautiful image... very un-hollywood like.. and I do think if she was 10-15 years younger she would have the carrer of Sandra Bullock.

Setting the tone
This episode sets the tone for Laura Holt as a bad role model for women. In her world, she can't inspire other women to be private detectives because she tells everyone that Mr. Steele is the head of the agency and she is an associate. She also lies to everyone she meets when she says that Mr. Steele exists, when at first he didn't, and then when she introduces the man she thinks is a con man as Mr. Steele. She calls Steele a fraud, yet she invents a fake boss simply because she thinks she's entitled to her own agency. She also sets the tone for the rest of the series by not believing Steele when he tells her the truth. And she is a hypocrite when she calls him a liar while lying to him that there really is a Remington Steele. There is no chemistry between the two characters because Laura is paranoid about having a relationship with him, or anyone else for that matter. And Steele isn't that attracted to her because over the course of the series, he accepts her excuses for not being with him rather than pursuing her. Laura Holt spent four years during this series looking for reasons not to be with Steele rather than looking for reasons to be with him. I will never understand why Laura would spend so much time with a man she found so unsuitable and why he would stay with a woman who found him so unsuitable.

The premier "Remington Steele" episode!

Showing occasionally was also Stephanie Zimbalist's father, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Daniel Chalmers, an old friend of 'Remington Steele'.

Anyway, this episode is the premier episode which explains almost everything about how Pierce Brosnan got to be Remington Steele. When Laura Holt is hired to proved security to some gems, she meets a mysterious Ben Pierson. But she gets the surprise of her life when Ben Pierson is not only not the real Ben Pierson, he has assumed the role of Remington Steele! Does he know her secret, that her superior Remington Steele doesn't exist? And who is he really? Could he actually be a murderer and a thief? * Great episode, and I just loved the banter and chemistry between Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist. And you've go to admit, Pierce Brosnan is a great suave and sophisticated Steele!

The beginning of one of the greatest detective series
The first of the Remington Steele series!

Laura Holt is an able, intelligent detective, but sexism spills over when her agency is neglected because she is a woman. So, she invents a fictional superior named "Remington Steele," a man who no one ever sees.

Her business bustles until a man comes into her life, calling himself Remington Steele--the problem is, she doesn't know where he comes from, who he is, or what his real name is. "Steele" is handsome, sophistocated, worldly, debonair, and apparently gleans all of his life knowledge from an encyclopedic memory of old movies. But he also guards his secret past like gold.

Laura has no choice but to keep the man as a sidekick, despite the fact that he is hailed as a genius when she does all the work. Adding to the oddity of the situation is the fact that she is fast falling in love with him.

Stephanie Zimbalist and Pierce Brosnan reportedly didn't like each other, but they project a sizzling screen chemistry.

Brosnan manages to give a difficult character depth and an intriguing mystery, exuding precisely the cultured warmth that is needed. But Steele is clearly a very emotional man as well, whom Laura has a good influence on.

Zimbalist creates a very feminine career woman, a great role model. Laura is no Bond-babe. She is very pretty (not the standard Hollywood "pretty"--a natural prettiness) but is independent and strong-minded. You can sense her unhappiness when she is discounted as being a female private investigator.

First part of a really enjoyable series!

First-class detective show!

Vintage Steele -- a fun glimpse into Laura's Mysterious Past
This is my favorite episode of "Remington Steele". We get a look at how Laura's past turned her into a "don't mix business with pleasure" professional. You'll love her wild striptease in the winery......and that steamy kiss in the wine cellar!!! Wow!! This is one episode not to be missed. And we get to meet her mysterious man who wore white belts and T-shirts that said "Bankers do it with interest". Mr. Steele finds out he's not the only one with secrets. It's a true Remington Steele fan's delight.

i'm the biggest remington steele fan ever!
It's not my favourite episode because I like ALL of them but it still is a very funny and interesting one! I've got all 89 episodes on videotapes and I have watched all of them about 5-7 times! My favourite episode is Steele Crazy After All These Years but all the other episodes rule too!

all you remington steele fans out there, e-mail me!

Fantastic
This episode of Remington Steele is just about the funniest one there is. We finally get a glimpse into Laura's life before the agency, there's lots of romance and that strip scene is absolutely priceless. I was rolling on the floor laughing. He's not the only one with a suspect past.

This episode brings back so many memories.
I'm a fan that died hard when they cancelled this show. The anticipation of a kiss between laura and remington steele would leave you almost breathless. This episode by far is one of my favorites because they finally kissed. I will admit the storyline was a bit cheesy but it was the from the "80's" era what else do you expect? I really enjoyed watching this episode again and I'm sure if you were a true fan you will too. ... Read more

A funny, creepy, romantic, mysterious ride
One of the best episodes of Remington Steele that I've seen! The Steele agency ends up in one of its strangest cases ever, protecting a man from his wife and his wife and his wife and...

After having a nightmare full of disjointed images, and the sight of a hatchet, a man named Frank Dannon wakes up in a motel room, unable to remember anything. A moment later, an arrow hits the wall just over his head.

He hires Steele and Laura to find out who he is, and along the way they discover an odd little facet: This man has been sustaining five households with five wives. And they're not happy.

There's sophisticated fashion-designer Barbara, passionate lower-class Stella, demure blonds Mary and Terry, and sexy vixen Nancy. Most of them had the means, the opportunity--but did they all have a motive? Meanwhile, middle-aged, romantic-at-heart Mildred makes a major mistake in the course of the case, and feels that she's let Steele down. The kind con-man sits her down and has a heart-to-heart talk with Mildred...

There's comedy, creepiness, mystery, and romance in this episode, as Frank tries to remember who would try to kill him, as Laura and Steele try to keep him safe from his various wives and discern which one is shooting arrows and wielding axes. It's a funny ride that won't leave you disappointed.

I LOVE REMINGTON STEELE!
this episode is one of my favourites. I have all 89 episodes on videotapes and I have watched all of them about 5-7 times. My favourite one is Steele Crazy After All These Years...
