This week’s retro trailer is for the 1985 action film Gymkata, a film that combines martial arts and gymnastics! With the Olympics recently over, I thought it would be fun for you to watch.
The film tells the story of Jonathan Cabot, a skilled gymnast and martial artist, who is recruited by the United States government for a dangerous mission.
Cabot is sent to the fictional country of Parmistan, where he must compete in “The Game,” a deadly obstacle course where failure means death.
The stakes are high, as the United States wants to use Parmistan as a strategic location for a satellite monitoring station. To survive, Cabot must rely on his acrobatic skills and martial arts prowess to outmaneuver his enemies and overcome the deadly challenges in his path.
The film is known for its bizarre yet spectacular action sequences, including those in which Cabot uses gymnastic apparatus, such as the pommel horse, as weapons against his opponents.
The film is full of the kitsch charm you would expect from a low budget action film from the 80s. Enjoy the trailer!
