Due to President Ronald Reagan's speech on the night of 15th August 1988, ABC made the decision to join "Remo Williams" in progress, rather than start it from the beginning, which would have delayed the network's 9 pm broadcasting. As a result, only the last 15 minutes of the 60-minute program were seen.
July 2, 2009: "Remo Williams" airs in it's entirety for the first time on Encore Action.
This TV-movie was intended to be the pilot for a television series, but the show was not picked up. The movie itself only aired on television once.
