Member Rating:  
In a standard no-plotter, this is a martial arts showcase for gymnast Kurt Thomas as Jonathan Cabot, the front line man sent out to secure a military foothold in an unfriendly, unnamed country in Eastern Europe near the Caspian sea. Jonathan has to use his lethal weapons (hands and feet) and his ingenuity to chop down legions of adversaries, especially in a one-against-all scene in a rustic village. With scenic Yugoslav landscapes and the attractive Miss Philippines (Tetchie Agbayani) as Princess Rubali, the film offers some visual appeal as well as whirling martial arts choreography. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Gymkata is the greatest Gymnastics Martial Arts Film ever made. It begins with a champion gymnast (Kurt Thomas, natch) being groomed by the US government (I guess) to play a game in a communist country that could be the tipping point for an international arms race. He meets a beautiful princess and embarks on an exciting adventure that takes him deep into the country of Parmistan. From there he fights numerous bad guys in numerous action sequences, many involving gymnastics props that appear from nowwhere. This movie is best watched over and over again with others. The dialogue is fantastic and warms my heart to hear Mr. Thomas say it. The pommelhorse fight sequence is the greatest ever. I mean that.
