We were talking about shitty martial arts movies at lunch yesterday. I think I came up with the worst one – Gymkata:
When karate and gymnastics are fused you get this gigantic piece of drek! I saw Gymkata in the 80′s when I was really into martial arts and I thought it sucked then. It looks like it sucks even more now, but in a pleasurable way.
Oh wait, that sounded gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
The trailer begs some questons. Why are there paralell bars in an alley way? What’s with the pommel horse in the town square? Did anyone else get the feeling that Kurt Thomas was thinking, “It’s a man. It’s a man. It’s a man.” during the kissing scene?
Time to watch Gymkata again.
