Review of Gymkata (1985) by Andrew H — 24 Jul 2007
Bad, laughably bad. I watched it with friends knowing full well the 'awesomely bad' debauchery I was about to get myself into. The movie delivered on every bad B-movie front imaginable.
Then, just when I couldn't laugh any harder, the pommel scene. Oh my God the pommel scene. 10 out of 5 stars for the most ridiculously contrived action sequence I've ever witnessed. Unfortunately, the most ridiculously contrived action sequence I've ever witnessed only manages to bring the movie up to 1 star.
If only MST3K would have done this movie, I would seriously die a happy man. Gymnasts, may you never make another ninja movie again.
