I started today off with Gymkata (1985) because I couldn’t get the subtitles to work on my copy of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, and the dubbed version doesn’t translate the on-screen text....
Remeber when he gets to a village of zombies and there’s a perfectly placed pommel horse right in the middle of the village just for him to show off?
Good review but perhaps 3/5 is too nice for this movie. It’s not the worse thing I’ve ever seen but I’d give it a 2/5 tops myself.
A few random/sudden death scenes and how silly the gymnastics fighting looked made me laugh at times but the pacing is just too all over the place with so much padding to reach the 90min runtime (like you mentioned) making it hard for me to choose to re-watch it just for fun.
Not good enough to be a good dumb action movie, not bad/silly enough to be consistently funny, just a bit lacking all around…
