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.

The btard turned me on to this silliness. Makes me giggle.
Nine more episodes here.

You know your budget is big when you have an entire highway in Long Beach outside of L.A. blocked off and that many cars are waiting for you to yell, “Action!”.
Here’s another angle with a guy who’s so clearly impressed he can only think to curse.
NSFW language ahead:

Patrick over at the MovieSet blog found this video made by one guy with a green screen, lots of talent and plenty of time on his hands. Gremlins in some of my favourite flicks. I especially love that Goonies made the cut.

I’m at the Howie Mandel show… Just me so far. Carol is lost. Oh well, the show hasn’t started yet. I hope she gets here soon. I think it’s going to start.

Here is photo evidence that I work with a crazy person and need to be saved.
He doesn’t have an iPhone. The btard and I remind him of this continuously. If he was cool, like us, he’d get one. Peer pressure FTW.

As someone pointed out in the flickr comments for the photo, it’s true, tk421 is the same stormtrooper that was ambushed in the Millennium Falcon. However, my co-worker, Patrick, and I think perhaps after the droid screw up he was sent back to guard duty in the docking bay of the Death Star. The Force, as Patrick said, does tend to roll that way.
Perhaps after being clunked on the head in the Falcon, he’s also the trooper who bashes his head on the door frame in a later scene.
He has shit for luck.
Patrick may have more on this later.
