GYMKATA (1985)

[zombie no.one]

never heard of this until I saw the link on the front page earlier - http://www.badmovies.org/movies/gymkata/ , after reading the review I thought I'd check it but it only seems to be available on region 1 DVD which is no good to me because I can only play region 2, however the whole thing has been upped in good quality on youtube. I just watched it, awesomely bad! definitely has to be seen if you haven't seen it

thanks for the heads up on this Andrew, hilarious film!

It's hard not to love a movie that combines martial arts and gymnastics, then constantly places suspiciously-gymnastic items around so that the hero can use his powers.


What European village would be complete without a pommel horse in the center courtyard?

I was actually LOL'ing @ that scene...plus it goes on for about 10 minutes.

I'm usually not one to bump my own threads, but this film guys...you have to see it

Probably one of the most ridicules films of all time. A ton of laughs! Mondo Movie Podcast did a bit about this show a while back. Worth listening to.

  I will admit to being probably the only person who ever saw this in a theatre when it came out ~ the place was full!

My favourite bad movie of all time ~ Andrew's review of it just makes it better. 

[The Burgomaster]

Back in the 80s I worked in a video rental store.  The manager was a 20-something airhead who probably got the job because she was good-looking (in sort of a trashy "needs lots of make-up to look good" way).  Anyway, her ignorance of movies was obvious when she thought the name of this movie was "Jim Carter", like the former President . . . I wonder where she is today?  Probably weighs 225 pounds and has 7 kids.
