Crap Film Club presents...GYMKATA

Gymkata is a 1985 martial arts film starring Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas as Jonathan Cabot, an Olympic gymnast who combines his gymnastic ability with martial arts to enter a deadly competition in a fictional country, Parmistan. The film is based on the 1957 novel The Terrible Game and shot in Yugoslavia. Gymkata earned a Razzie Award nomination for Thomas as Worst New Star.

It has developed a cult following as an unintentional comedy for its dubious premise, poor production quality and strange setting. Maxim magazine lists the film as the 17th "Worst Movie of All Time".

"Gymkata is so hugely moronic that, when the studio execs green-lit the project, somewhere, trillions of light years away, a planet exploded. It is the zenith of bad moviemaking." - DVD Verdict

"There are bad movies, there are worse movies and there are movies that offer a few brief moments of unintentional comedy, but Gymkata is a tour de force of B-movie greatness. At no point will you not be entertained." – Wikia

Crap Film Club, or CFC, is a place to celebrate and commiserate with the movies that went straight to DVD. It’s where we accept poor scripts, poor acting, poor camera work and provide a platform of non-judgement. In fact, the less critically acclaimed the film, the better. Together, we watch the ridiculous, we enjoy the non-believable, we congratulate the absurd. In association with The Book Club, Crap Film Club is proud to present a bi-monthly night of cinematic failure. There will be bad dubbing, samurai cops, toe-curling dialogue, CGI sharks, embarrassing sex, inept ninjas, and continuity errors, along with quizzes, prizes, and themed cocktails.
