Gymkata (1985)

The VHS Strikes Back EPS39 This week due to being requested by some of our podcasting friends and our great listener Glyn we have gone with Gymkata (1985). A martial arts movie based around a real world gymnast Kurt Thomas. My god did we have some fun with this one. Plot Summary: Johnathan Cabot is a champion gymnast. In the tiny, yet savage, country of Parmistan, there is a perfect spot for a "star wars" site. For the US to get this site, they must compete in the brutal "Game". The government calls on Cabot, the son of a former operative, to win the game. Cabot must combine his gymnastics skills of the west with fighting secrets of the east and form GYMKATA!
