We have been waiting for this for more than 20 years but we can finally own on DVD one of the worst movies from the ‘80s. This 1985 action drama tells the story of gymnast Jonathan Cabot-played by Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas-who must help the U.S. install a “Star Wars” missile defense system in the kingdom of Parmistan. But Cabot’s job is no easy feet since in order for the U.S. to claim Pamistan, Cabot must first defeat evil ninjas in the “Game”. Needless to say, Kurt combines his gymnastic abilities and martial arts from the Far East to develop Gymkata and emerge the winner of the competition.

The movie is a cult classic because of its premise and poor production values. Kurt Thomas has even been nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst New Actor. Amazon held an Internet poll that resulted in the movie being released on DVD on January 30th.

With a tagline such as “The skill of gymnastics, the kill of karate” this movie should not be missing from anyone’s movie collection.
