Gymkata

More like GEMkata! Here’s an excellent example of something that only could have happened in the 80’s – the mullet wearing champion gymnast Kurt Thomas's epic saga of one man's fight to liberate the fictional Eastern European country of Parmistan from the clutches of a bearded arch-villain by using flares, straddles, tucks, splits, twists and saltos. And all that so the U.S. government can put a satellite thingy for the “Star Wars” Strategic Defense Initiative in Parmistan and thus hold back the communist expansion. One of the key titles in this year’s shockproof celebration of the body in all its shapes and forms, Gymkata is a classic. There’s no excuse for not seeing Gymkata.
