It's movies like this that show why we can't have movies like this anymore.
If it wasn't for the whole Channel Awesome debacle I would have struggled to find you, you and Phelous are gold and it speaks volume that you guys were associated with the CA boys but never got the exposure they did. For shameeeee
I love the ASBAR addition 😂😂
Loool, the Geraldo Rivera and Mell Brooks part was the best loool, greetings to all from the beautifull island of Mallorca.
I give this review a 9.8. It would have been a 10, but Allison forgot to stick the landing. ;)
I love the reference to Linkara's review of ASBAR
“He’s where babies come from” 😂😂😂
Hi Obscurus Lupa, you are awesome!
Thanks!

So I havent seen Phelan in a while, and that mellows me out. Thanks!
Didn’t Star Wars refer to the proposed military satellites during the Reagan era?
One Boring Bastard I think she knows that.
Hmm, I think it would refer to Kylo Ren's pants at 18:05
your hilarious movie reviews are way better time than I remember actually watching the original. it's hilarious I. it's own right by sheer stupidity of it all, but you add comedic flair to it and roast it properly. very nice! big fan of your B-action movie reviews. way to go 🖐️
"Stand back, woman who supposedly trained me"
I was in the Navy and I saw this at the Algonquin Theater in San Diego. The audience during most of it were laughing, not because it was intentionally funny. Because it was so bad.
Algonquin Theatre in San Diego? San Diego is so far away from anything Algonquin (or even the broader term Algonquian) it makes my head spin. Is that really a thing?
Gymkata is shown in the wee hours on TCM; Someone there knows quality crap when they see it.
The fictional country this "game" is in reminds me of Glasgow on a Friday night.
It is rather!
You know, his fighting style seems like it would expend too much energy. I get the feeling that with all those flips he'd be exhausted after a few minutes.
Not with the endurance that he's built up.
It's been soo long since I've watched these on...... A different site. I still enjoy these so much.
This is the funniest episode of all. Huzzah. 👏
I finally got that Frank Miller quote.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned yet that Kurt Thomas invented the flip called the Thomas Salto, the floor element that has killed and paralyzed more gymnasts than any other element.
Well... that sounds like fun 😬
Was he actually the first to invent it or was he just the first gymnast to perform it in competition?
I was trying to recall the origin of that gag at 6:45, and now I know!
And knowing is half the bat-**THUNK**
Another amazing review your amazing!
If you remade this today, you could replace gymnastics with parkour.
Do parkour people spend much time climbing ropes?
Parkata!
@@unseenmarauder lmfao 🤣
Goat for you!
6:37 lol holy shit. that little blade shooter just reminded me i've actually seen this movie lol.
The Actress that portrayed the Princess is a filipina actress and a decent one too from the shows i saw her in anyways. She usually portrays supporting characters (mostly antagonistic ones) im quite shocked she had an American film and a big one at that despite it not being a very good movie.
Her name is Tetchie Agbayani. She was actually chosen to play the leading vietnamese girl in Rambo, but turned it down when the production decided to relocate filming in Mexico. She's old and fat now and Kurt Thomas is now dead. Rip
1:58 I'm pretty sure he was talking about the Strategic Defense Initiative.
I just watched this movie the other day. It's not really that bad. Not good either, but it has some entertainment value.
Love your channel! Glad I subscribed! Can you review films from the PM group?!
and in Lego Batman movie make a shout out of this movie
oh, those sickles at 4:30 are awesome. i use one of those to trim my hedge!
RIP Kurt Thomas...
Damn, he did die.
Fakistan: a central Asian country, with light-skinned, Turkic people (Eurasian, Caucasian type). Princess: dark-skinned, South-East Asian person (doesn't look to be the same RACE as her dad, let alone subjects. 17:59 Mel Brooks Men in Tights had the same fight, lol, also insert Kylo Ren TLJ joke here, about the pants. 18:09 THAT'S a typical wrestling diva finisher, somersault elbow to corner. Even Snooki made this when Jersey Shore were guests on WWE.
The princess had an interesting background - her mother was Indonesian.
1985, that's my birthyear.
15:15 Okay, this one bit that somehow genuinely bothers me-from the intro, the establish the rope as the dead end, make you ask "how could the hero possibly get out of it". And then we see and the answer is-nothing. They just don't use the arrows in for him and him only, for no reason. Laaaame.
I'm curious to read the book this is based on. And to answer the question, they are referring to the star wars program not the movies. Don't they teach people that anymore?
verbena208 This video was made sometime before 2010.
@@ripleyjlawman.3162 That Strategic Defense Initiative concept (nicknamed Star Wars) was announced way back in '83, two years before this movie came out.
Hulk Hogan + Clint Howard = Thorg
LOL!! :D
@10:05 GAH! It's Sardó from "Are You Afraid of the Dark"!
Parma Zan istan ?? Deliscious !!
i like this movie.
This movie was just on TCM.
@10:02: I didn't know Jaws from the James Bond movies had a twin sister.
Heh, the more you know.
is this what hungry games was inspired from?
Why does his impersonation of the princesses voice sound like Herbert the pervert ?
900 years? It sounds a bit like Mortal Kombat.
Wait, what is 'girly running'?
What is the name of the instrumental song that played over people running away
Benny Hill theme.
Allison is one funny lady Iaward her a goat!
10:19 Is the central Asian Australian wearing the 1970s Zod uniform?
Check out the cover of Street of Rage and this
so eighties
Lupa's voice isn't as deep here as it is now (2019).
12:23 is that Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHR
What princess? Xena Warrior Princess?
This movie is apparently R rated, but there's no blood from the bullets or fighting.
Ah, yes, those long, wooden bullets.
There's blood in the clips of this video. Plus, people falling to their death to be smashed on rocks.
Plenty of blood in the movie.
Kurt Thomas was never in the Olympics.
Yeah the US boycotted the Olympics and didn't go the year that Kurt was going to go. Instead of waiting for the next Olympics, he decided to make this movie instead.
@@misspriss2482 He still competed at the Summer Olympics in 1976.
The new thumbnail caption feature said that your name is Obscure Slipper
Wait is this guy doing handstands the same dork that jason gutted in friday 3 his guts spilled all over the camera than jv shoved his corpse in the rafters and stabbed his girl in the neck/? anyway enough with the groin shots jeez.
Don't fuck with Kurt Thomas...or flag ninja guy.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts❤
Embarrassingly, as a young boy, I loved this movie.
If you're embarrassed, why are you telling the rest of us? No one would have known.
dreamlandnightmare
I got to see this movie as a child, but for 27 years i could not find out it's name. Now i know the name, but i didn't remember how bad it was.
I discovered it as a little girl on TBS late at night and loved it. I'm not embarrassed at all. Kurt Thomas was an awesome gymnast. I watch this movie over and over just to watch him.
You really shouldn't be revealing such secrets.
I lost the game...
i just lost the game
Who is the guy who awarded the goat?
Lmfao, I remember watching this when I was very young and, yeah, some valuable minutes of my life wasted 😋
All in all, one of the worst movies ever made but a movie Soo bad it's good, for the simple fact that it's a laugh fest almost beginning to end.
The fact that someone actually got the funding to make such a stupid idea into an actual movie is just mind boggling and hilarious all by itself🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the laughable memory, btw, you're funny and cute.
What a crappy movie.
