 Gymkata Gymkata Quote: Gymkata is a 1985 martial arts film starring Olympic gold medalist Kurt Thomas as Jonathan Cabot, an Olympic gymnast who combines his gymnastic ability with ninjutsu to enter a deadly competition in a fictional country, Parmistan. The film is based on the novel The Terrible Game (1957) by Dan Tyler Moore, and was filmed in Yugoslavia.
It has developed a minor cult following as an unintentional comedy for its dubious premise, poor production quality and strange setting. Maxim lists the film as the 17th "Worst Movie of All Time". Due to the sensitive nature of the film it was banned in Finland in 1986 so as to not offend the USSR.

Yes this movie is terrible, but it has sentimental value. i used to watch this movie over and over on late night tv when i was a kid. it's one of those "so bad, it's good" movies that is crammed full of unintentional comedy. it's a huge guilty pleasure of mine. it centers around a "gymnast/martial arts expert" Johnathan Cabot, who is caught up playing a deadly game in Europe.

Re: Gymkata I feel my life is now complete after seeing this.
The last 20 minutes with all the slo-mo caused me to laugh out my spleen. Best film ever?? Oh Yes
