Strange place for a pommel horse I think.

[Manthing32]

I recorded this from cinemax as a kid and took it seriously

[delavalmilker]

I can still remember watching Siskel and Ebert's review of this film when they still were on PBS, and this film had just come out. They absolutely savaged it. I think Ebert called it the worst film he had seen in 15 years.

@jackburton2009 hahaha your right its like how evil dead was supposed to be taken serious but was more like a comedy

[ProbableFiction]

@FractalBolt

They are actually completely ripped off from the movie 'Dagon'

[jackburton2009]

His mullet looks better than your ugly bald head! You wish you grow a mullet, LOL!

Gymkata isn't supposed to be taken seriously. It's hilarious because it's ridiculous. I enjoyed watching it with my friends growing up and making fun of it. It's a great MST300 type movie.
