| Gymkata (1985) Cast:Kurt Thomas,Richard Norton,Tetchie Abgyuiani,John Barret Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be a gymnast especially if you have to fight ninjas and save your country from terrorists and sometimes just sometimes it's even worse to make a movie about it. Welcome to Gymkata a movie so bad that it will have you wishing for the cheap kung fu flicks that come on "Kung Fu Theater" and even they offer more enjoyment then this grade Z gobbler. Gymkata is the kind of movie that you just know can't get any worse but it always does and at an alarming rate. Thomas is are hero and he for the most part is terrible actor and he looks beyond ridiculous in the action scenes where he can always find bars to swing on. How bad is Thomas? Put it to you this way he makes Steven Seagal seem oscar worthy, Hell, even Seagal hasn't looked that silly in the action scenes. Gymkata also boasts one of the most absurd ideas....A gymnast as an action star? What's next a ballet dancer? It's hard to believe that anybody behind this stinker took this seriously and green-lighted it. Enter The Dragon this is not. D.Robert Clouse * |
