Gymkata is a 1985 film filmed in Yugoslavia and starring Kurt Thomas as Jonathan Cabot, an Olympic gymnast who combines his gymnastic ability with ninjutsu to enter a deadly competition in a fictional country, Parmistan. It is based on the novel The Terrible Game (1957) by Dan Tyler Moore. The film has developed a minor cult following as an unintentional comedy for its dubious premise, poor production quality and low budget. Maxim lists the film as the 17th "Worst Movie of All Time"

HAHAHAHAHA OMFG WHY THE HELL IS THERE A POMMEL HORSE IN THE MIDDLE OF A VILLAGE!?!?!?!?!

I liked that movie

Gymkata is the funniest movie ever. Anyone who is interested in gymnastics MUST see this movie. There's one scene where he pretends to have difficulty walking up some steps on his hands that has a terrible camera angle :wink: . The tumbling fight is pretty funny too. However, the pommel horse scene takes the cake. He does a random backflip off the pommel horse for no reason during the fight . His gymnastic skills are amazing, especially considering he started late (according to an old book I read about him).

Jackie Bender's Hand- and Headbalancing is just amazing:

Igor Zubkevych's and Artur's acts are my favorite acts at the moment; awesome.

I read that Artur's last name is Avakyan.
