Plot: World gymnastics star Kurt Thomas is trained to carry out a deadly mission. With his combination of gymnastic and martial arts skills, he beats up every opponent he meets. Absolute nonsense.
This movie is a cheese fest classic. It doesn't get any better than taking gymnastics and karate and mixing the two into ass kicking entertainment. From the same guy that gave you Enter the Dragon and the great Black Belt Jones.
Tops my list as the WORST movie ever made. If I could rate it lower than half a star believe me I would.
Tough movie to review. It's not, you know, "good", but it is thoroughly enjoyable '80's cheese. The sequence set in the walled off city full of the country's insane people is genuinely great [until he finds the pummel horse] and has a stronger idea than almost any movie Hollywood made back then.
I guess you could say that my feelings about this movie are complicated.
There is only one word to describe the emotion, the power, the endeavor to move the masses to a some sort of recalcitrant awakening...SCRUMTRILESCENSE....
In order to save his father, Kurt must unite the ways of Eastern Karate and Western gymnastics to form a new style of martial arts: Gymkata! Yes, what can go wrong from there? So bad, you have to see it.
Somewhere on some list Gymkata deserves recognition. HERE is that list, welcome home. May I call you Gym?
Surely one of the most ill-conceived action "spectaculars" of all time as the director of Enter the Dragon recycles that film's plot, but without Bruce Lee....and with Kurt Thomas - the mulletted former Olympian gymnast. Bad dialogue, bad hair and a hero who looks like he's barely out of grade school. Truely, madly, brilliantly awful.
Finally on DVD! The cheesiest of the cheese my friends! It's gymnastics meets karate as an Ex-Olympic champion is cast as the hero of this ludicrous starring vehicle. Sent to a distant land to do battle with ninjas, mutated village people and sinister goverment officials our heroic athelete must defeat all odds so that America can get the approval to put missle silos in said country. Many over the top fight sequences always seem to boil down to one point - GYMNASTICS baby!!! Where else can our protagonist be chased into a town square and find a pummel horse ready for him to frenzt kick his assailants with gams of steel!
This flick has to be seen to be beleived - years since I last saw it on a Beta tape - the DVD lets you relive the days where foreign investors helped just about any shitty flick get made...
God Bless the 80's!
