Gymkata - 1984 Olympic gold medal gymnast Kurt Thomas stars as a gymnast who gets hired by the US government to enter "The Game", a tortuous marathon in the country of Parmistan. The winner of "The Game" gets his or her wishes granted by the country, which in this case is for the US to install a Star Wars Defense satellite within the country's borders. The movie involves tons of parallel bar, pummel horse and overall flipping and cartwheeling action...oh and plenty of ninjas.
Who am I kidding? This isn't a guilty pleasure. The movie is just plain FREAKIN' awesome. The cover alone makes me want to watch the movie again.
