From the director of Enter The Dragon (that’s right, one of the most important action films ever made) comes GYMKATA!
“A true masterpiece of unintentional comedy.” – Nick Schager, AVCLUB.com
Starring Kurt Thomas, a real life gold-medal winning American gymnast, Gymkata is a ludicrously entertaining, frequently baffling late 80s action film that eschews the big-buff action star that we all know from that era and instead relies on the lean, mean, unendingly back-flipping-and-gyrating machine that is our hero.Expect conviently placed Pommel Horses, and willingly patient queues of bad guys for this absurd action romp, as we head to the exceptionally named land of, ahem, ‘Parmistan’ to follow Kurt as he thwarts a missile crisis.So grab your friends, put on your gym shorts and come down to Archive for a night of drinks and diverolls at our social screening of Gymkata, which includes an onsite bar, an introduction from the What The Film Club team as well as a free weird prize giveaway.
