how this movie escape the wrath of mst3k i will never know . gymkata be a ridiculous action movie and fill ( or be that empty . ) with paper thin plot and dumb character and and preposterous situation . but take it from me and if you enjoy watch poor and yet goofy and movie and you will enjoy gymkata a great deal . the action center around a gymnast who be choose by government agent ( at least i think they be government agent ) to become a spy . you see his dad be another quasi government agent and who have go miss compete in this game and call and eloquently and the game . so the gymnast ( play blandly by kurt thomas ) train to compete in this game and find out what happen to his lose dad . sound promise doesn not it . okay and so it doesn not but still and that bare bone plot sypnopsis doesn not begin to describe the joy of this movie . they can be find in the movie strange detail . like the gymnast mysterious asian girlfriend and who doesn not speak for the first half hour of the movie and then all of a sudden begin to talk and and doesn not shut up for the rest of the time . or the really tough shirtless bad guy who like to make and break the game non existent rule whenever he so please . and of course there our hero delightful romp through the village of the crazy ( evidently that the place real name . ) . nice place to visit and but i wouldn not want to live there . but where this movie really shin be the action scene . since our protagonist be a gymnast and the director think it wise to stick gymnastic equipment into the back alley and town square of middle eastern city and so that our gymkata master would be well able to use his gymnast skill to fight the scourge of evil on parallel bar and pummel horse . it have to be see to be believe . one interesting thing of note . a lot and i would say about half the cast and dy from be shoot with an arrow . interesting because the arrow be the only believable effect or action in the entire movie . if these be indeed effect and my one major note of compliment to whoever devised these very realistic arrow wound . more likely and this be the film way of not pay extra . nevertheless and gymkata deserve a look if you can see it without pay and be look for some silliness that be an easy target for riff .
