Who knew that the world's greatest spy would be a gymnast? No one kicks more ass than a guy who can't reach the top shelf of the refrigerator. Gymkata combines martial arts, gymnastics, tons of coke, and copious amounts of 80s to create a true gem of bad cinema.

Because of copyright claims on this video, I was editing it at 2 AM last night while suffering from covid. My apologies for any oddities that made it into the video because of my delirious state, but I wanted to make sure you had something to laugh at this morning. I appreciate all of you.
hope you are good ...i wish you all good
I didn't know Shaq was in this movie training the chosen one lol 😂
Get well soon, Jason 👍🏽
Thanks. I'm on the mend now.
Hope it's nothing too serious. Get well soon.
I remember sneaking into the theater to see this when it came out. My 11 year old brain thought it was the coolest movie ever LMAO
Your eleven-year-old brain was correct.
I mean the stunts and choreography is pretty impressive, I wouldn't blame your 11 year old self from thinking it's the coolest shit ever
I'm glad I didn't see this movie when I was a kid, I probably would have broken my neck attempting a backflip or something
Thank you for making the Barbarian Bros “laugh” the new swear bleep!
I think it's gonna stick.
I want it to stick. It's so fantastic.
@@JasonBrant I die every time I hear HURRR!
It needs to stay around and never leave 😂👍🏿
@@JasonBrant It never gets old.
I had to look him up, but apparently Kurt Thomas, the protagonist of this movie, was a serious competitor in Gymnastics. He won many gold medals and had a pommel horse routine that was named after him and was one of his signature moves. (As you could likely guess lol)
He was 5 feet, 5 inches tall. His record was only matched by one gymnast in 2018. Kurt sadly passed away from a tear in part of his brain that caused him to have a stroke. He was 64 at the time. For some reason I always like to look up facts about the cast of these kinds of movies and I can't explain why :P
Also the big muscular character was named, "Thorg," which is even funnier to me XD
RIP
@@Stevie-J 😅
I tend to look up hot actresses from vintage movies and add nude to the search. The princess in this movie did not disappoint 🤣"Tetchie Agbayani nude". Thank me later, lol.
This is, by far, the best channel I’ve stumbled across on TH-cam in a long while. Keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks, will do!
Yep.. up there with Steve1984MRE and Jorge Spave for juvenile entertainment value.
(Steve collects and eats military field rations from around the world and from... history. His many millions of viewers watch appalled as he cooks up and samples Vietnam era, WW2 vintage and even Boer War (Queen Victoria was on the throne) and US civil war rations. Obviously we're all there to see if he keels over from botulism. )
Joreg, is a huge German with a sinister laugh who weaponises everyday objects into projectile weapons. He runs the slingshot channel.
Same here. It showed up in my recommended list and instantly became must watch TH-cam for me. Love it!
No argument here. Highlight of the week
The girl is Tetchie Agbayani. She appeared in the German edition of Playboy July 1982. She was the hotness back in the 80s and she was in Emerald Forest as one of the natives. She's still actively appearing in TV talk shows and telenovelas in the Philippines to this day.
Thanks for the info!
Richard Norton is one of my all time favorite So Bad, It's Good actors. He has a treasure trove of bad movies worth a watch, including ones he's acting in along side with Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris, and Cynthia Rothrock.
MR Nice guy is the quite the riot...
PS: He plays the villian in a movie starring Michael Dudikoff and... Bryan Craston has a supporting role.
I can't wait to watch more.
Richard Norton is awesome. He looks like General Zod in this movie.
I love how he beats up firemen, hicks, and suit and tie guys in China O'Brien with the Rothrock and Keith Cook (Subzero/Reptile).
@@JasonBrant You could try 'Rage and Honour' because you get Richard Norton, Cynthia Rothrock and Brian Thompson (bad guy from Cobra...and many more). I actually love it (and its sequel)..but yeah..its bad.
Just a side note, but Kurt Thomas died of a stroke in 2020 caused by a tear in an artery in his brain stem, he was 64 and 5.5ft.
IRL: In the 80's Ragan developed a Early Warning system to alert the US if the USSR launched a missle, it was called Star Wars. That's what the Star Wars was referring to. The plot of the movie was for our Hero to win the tournament & he gets a wish, & his wish was for Parmesan to allow the US to put an Early Warning system in their country.
This is by far the best episode of SBIG to date, loved having all 4 of you guys on screen at once. R.I.P. Kurt Thomas(yeah, I know, ouch. Only 64.) and Erin was right, he was a gold medalist.
Thanks! RIP Kurt Thomas.
realy?Yes very nice,so much to see!
But ehm,not much of lovemaking!
You guys are the best team with spot on jokes , I binged all their videos and got six packs by just laughing 😂
Thanks so much!
Kurt Thomas (the gymkataist? Is that even a word?) passed away in 2020, 64 years old. I will always treasure Gymkata. It's up there with Miami Connection of so bad it's amazing greatness. And his stunts (which he did himself) are truly impressive.
Crazy that he died so young. RIP.
I love when you put the windows error message over people who lose their train of thought. Its such a funny diss.
🤣 Thanks.
There's still room in the front for one more chair! Pam will get in there one day! I love those falling dummies. I wish there was a way to grade '80s action movies based on the quantity or quality of dummies they threw off of cliffs or rooftops. Watching them hit the bottom is always comedy gold. It's even better when they hit something halfway down and go into a spin. I'd love it if they randomly threw one of those into a modern Marvel movie or something, when everything else was CG. The arrows suddenly thudding into people was also great, though. Even when you knew it was coming, like with the dad, it still happens so fast that it gets a big reaction. Great video! Glad you loved it as much as we do.
I loved the arrow shots too. It actually worked really well.
Gene Simmons' dummy's death in 'Never too young to die' is a classic of the genre. It almost matches his magnificently OTT performance in the rest of the film.
@@JasonBrant thanks for this, memories of my youth. if you ever wanna do some of the bruce lee imitators, try 1982's "ninja strikes back". insane.
😄" Pam is dying"( off screen)
Started watching you guys 3 weeks ago on my brother's recommendation and been loving your videos since then. Thanks for bringing everyone together for this movie, it's a childhood favorite of mine. It starts a little slow but when the gymnastics fighting starts it turns into shit crazy fun.
Ton of fun! Glad to hear bad movie viewing is a family affair for you.
@@JasonBrant time to do The Guyver.
I was never completely sure Bryan and Dave were two different people, so I really enjoyed this episode.
🤣 The race swapping wasn't a dead giveaway, I take it?
First man ever to ask a woman talk more... Classic line
I loved it! Lmao this was awful in the best way! Having all 4 of you there with pam dying off screen was hysterical. And the system error moments when someone brain farts is comedic genius and my favorite part of every video! Keep this up! It's all GOLD!
Thanks!
I love movies like this that are obv based on a true story 11/10
🤣
25:57 It never fails. My dude just needs a catheter. He gets to stay out of the bathroom, and you all get to awkwardly watch the bag fill up, out of your periphery, during the movie. Win-win.
The funny thing is that he's always making fun of my small bladder, but he's had it worse than me lately.
I do remember watching this as a kid and thinking this guy is awesome. I never recalled anything except he was being hunted though. Now as a adult it's absolutely hysterical.
It's dumb as hell. Love it.
When you think of it... So many of these B-movies could be genuinely exciting action movies for kids because children can't usually tell the difference between good or bad when it comes to acting, dialogue or logic in movies.
Then again you'd have to edit out boobies and most of the gory violence. But who on earth would want THAT?! 😂
The way that man screams when he shot with an arrow in the market was so genuine. That dude sold it.
Seriously. Shocked us.
it was just anti American sentiment...
100% That guy is really dead from that arrow lmao
More like he was really hit by that arrow lololol
When you guys were trying to guess what gymnastic set pieces might lie ahead, and no one said, "pommel horse", I almost cackled with glee. It's the one scene I remembered vividly after seeing this movie long ago. Your reactions were worth it.
Gymkata is a classic! Yes! Literally used to check the TV guide every week for this and the Last Dragon and they usually came on around 2AM. Lol
It's amazing.
@@JasonBrant i still have it recorded on VHS somewhere. Loved the cartoon sound effects when people fall down.
I hope you get better. Health comes first. Thanks for another upload.
Thanks. I'm on the mend.
Just got home from work. Got the craft beer chilling, waiting for my girl to wake up and this day will be off to a great start with a new video :-)
What beer did you get?
@@JasonBrant Cowbell Brewing Co. mixed pack. An Ontario,Canada small brewing company. First time trying them.
@@JasonBrant P.S. look up Family Guy Stewie learns Gymkata on TH-cam. You're welcome ;-)
YESSS, you need a mini movie theater now
Gonna need it soon 🤣
I enjoyed ALL 4 of you too.
Chemistry between you guys is Gold!
FEEL BETTER, SOON..
Peace.
Same, the whole gang was cool. I don't know if they should do it every video or save it for special ones ya know? I would like to see them all watch The Suckling. lol
Thanks so much. Having the 4 of us together will be rare, but I'll make sure we do a wild movie for the next one.
Your editing efforts are appreciated, and it's amazing to have the entire gang together to enjoy this utterly bonkers classic.
Glad you enjoy it! I almost didn't get this one done.
@@JasonBrant Well, I'm grateful you did. Hope you're feeling better!
You owe us no apologies bro, your real fans want nothing but the best for you at all times, continue to get better 💪🏾
Thanks so much!
@@JasonBrant as my twitch continues to grow, and your TH-cam continues to grow, we're going to have to do a collab in the future, Stone Tangerine Express please 😀
🤣 What is your Twitch channel?
This movie is terrific. I rewatched it in 2021. Twice. Overdue for a rewatch.
No rings? “Maybe in the sequel”
Gymkata 2: The Lord of the Rings
Fiiiiinally all 4 😍 Gonna enjoy this. Cheers Guys and greetings. Stay safe 🇩🇪
Hope you get some laughs.
This was so good. I loved the fake dummy shots of the people falling in the ravine. Loved having the four of you guys doing the reaction and reviews. So funny. If you guys are looking for other so-bad-it's-good movies, I'm sure you already have 500 suggestions, Zombie 3 is another classic
Added Zombie 3 to the watchlist. Thanks!
This actually came on Turner Classic Movies one night. The Golden Age movie lovers went livid.
🤣 I love this.
I agree, the black bodysuit with the parachute pants outfit was pretty spiffy, it was a fashion trend in the 80s that carried over from the disco era.
Erin loved it.
Barry Gibb is Richard Norton, absolute legend in martial arts, was in lots of Jackie Chan films in the 80s
I need to see more of his stuff.
@@JasonBrant He is actually in some good films, but also some utter shite 🤣
Another great episode. Great to see all of you on screen at the same time. Jason's off color comments were hilarious. Dave is super good at calling something before it happens. Erin's reactions and amazement to everything is priceless. Brian is always trying to insert actual facts, with zero success. You guys are awesome.
Thanks so much, Tom! Those are some great observations 🤣
In the late 70s early 80s, Kurt Thomas was the premier male American gymnast. He won a few world titles and was favored to medal in 1980 when we boycotted the summer Olympics. He didn't really do any other movies before he died of a stroke in 2020 at 64.
RIP
OH I LOVE THIS SETUP! ALL OF THE 4 HORSEPERSONS ON SCREEN!!! YES!!! This is so much WIN.
Awesome video! I loved seeing all four of you together and the movie was great!
Thanks so much!!
Love your reviews been bingeing them having recently discovered your channel... Great to see all 4 of you in frame, although there is a tendency for four drunk people to talk over each other 😆
Very true. We've only done it once in 63 episodes, so far. Won't happen all that often.
The entire group is in this, nice. You guys look wholesome together.
Wholesome isn't the way more people describe us 🤣
I love how everyone was here for this absolute classic
it seems like the way to defeat gymkata guy is to not go near him while he's flipping around on your inexplicably placed pommel horse in the middle of town. little guy will tire himself out eventually. then you can just grab him.
🤣 Little guy will tire out... that's hilarious.
It was really bad. I got constipated just watching it on your channel however as always you 4 made it bearable and fun. Your remarks are fantastic. Btw i dont know the name of your lady co-host but shes funny as hell especially when she averts her eyes to avoid seeing compromising angles. She's got an infectious laugh. Keep up the great work.
That's my wife, Erin. She's the best.
Erin is Wife Goals, for sure.
@@JasonBrant you do know that you're going to have double cow sow triple Lutz to elbow drop these guys hitting on your wife pretty soon right? I've been waiting for you and wondering if I'm going to have to lay down the stunner myself sometime soon.
Yess!!! I love this movie!!! Thank you so much for pushing through illness to finish it. Your fans appreciate this! HI-KEEBA!
It was a rough week, but I managed to finish the video jus tin time.
Gymkata is what happens when the entire production team is snorting their weight in coke every day!
“Ssssnnnniiiiifffff………yup looks good to me. Next scene”
🤣 Totally.
Here's an interesting thought:
The premise of this movie is essentially that gymnastic movement translates well into impressive theatrical combat (regardless of how realistically effective it might be); we can say with a degree of certainty that this was what the person responsible for this movie was thinking of when they came up with the idea. My proposition is this: how much easier would it be for an audience to suspend their disbelief if the term 'gymkata' is never introduced to the film? Think about it; once you see or hear the word, you know and are expecting to see the protagonist use conventional gymnastics in an unrealistic fight scene. It instantly becomes comedic. What if they NEVER introduce the hero as a gymnast; what if they NEVER use the stupid word 'gymkata' - which just begs mockery on the face of it; what if it's just a silly martial arts film - where there just happen to be a facsimile of a pommel horse in the middle of a mob lynching? Granted, it's still stupid. But is it more of a thriller and less of a comedy?
That's an interesting though. I'd probably struggle with the pommel horse no matter what they did 🤣 That's just hilarious.
@@JasonBrant Pommel horse + secret ninja training = pummel horse.
Then you'd have a classic martial arts movie. Those actors are all gymnasts.
This chair set up looks like that meme where that girls on a couch and a bunch of dudes are standing behind her.(you know which meme I’m talking about)
🤣
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
4 people! You got the crew together!!!
Not only are gymnastics the highest martial art , the splits are the ultimate technique
Dave's reaction when he calls him dad killed me
Looks like Mcgyver's been put on a hot wash and shrunk 🤣
You should check out Picasso trigger. Hope you feel better mate 👍
Thanks! We're big Andy Sidaris fans around here.
It was a stroke of genius to use the UUUUUURRRR! barbarian sound to bleep out the cursing.
🤣 Thanks!
The Barbarian Bros "Errrp" is the best, and you wifes reactions always make me smile
Thanks!
Lol having all four of you for this one was awesome. Much appreciated
Thanks!
Literally the best movie you never knew you wanted
Oh the fun of rewatching old episodes!
The most oddly placed pommel horse in all existence.
🤣
If you have a bad movie, if no one else can stand to watch it, and if you can't find movies so bad they're good, maybe you can hire... The B-Team!
You guys are hilarious and tons of fun. I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I've been binge watching it to death!
Thanks so much! Glad to have you with us!
26:58 Got me. I almost died. RUUUGHHHHHHHHHH
Then the zoom "shes Asian she knows Karate" in the most confident of voices lol
The Karate line killed me too.
I can't tell you how many times I rewound the crash dummies hitting the rocks. And for the record, I saw this in theatres.
If you're really that interested in what the "Barry Gibb" guy with the feathered has been in, he was also in City Hunter with Jackie Chan. Which is another truly great good bad film that I know you guys would really love. By the way, the actor's name is Richard Norton.
One of these days, I'm going to need Pam on screen. I love the random quips she throws out there
Add me to the list of those who likes seeing everyone together. I've been binge watching your videos over last week or so, and this has to be my favorite.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love seeing the whole gang here (and off-camera Pam of course)
The guy that took the arrow to the gut and the guy falling with the gun going off was awesome.
So damn good.
This movie is the real story of how we caught Been Laiden. It wasn't a whole seal team just this one guy vs his elite ninja assassins. This tape was sent back in time and sweded to protect his identity.
🤣 🤣
Yes, finally Gymkata which won academy award for best movie ever.
🤣
Oh yeah! Saw the post you were doing this one. Looking forward to watching it!
Thanks again Jason, get well soon man.
Thanks so much, bud.
Captain 80s says, "Kneel before Zod!!!" LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
9:09 He grabs the arrow with so much conviction 😂
He screams and then yall scream 🤣🤣. Funniest reaction ever!!! His and y'all's 😂😂😂
Bet you cant hit that timestamp three times in a row and not laugh your ass off 😂😂
He really does sell that.
@@JasonBrant its genuine af! Im pretty sure he died from that 😂
It's called the Law of the Conservation of Ninjutsu. There is only a set amount of fighting prowess in any given scene. It is divided amongst the participants regardless of the side on which they fight, but the more participants on one side, the more the ninjutsu for that side is divided between them more or less evenly.
In reality, choreography is hard.
The Gibbs dude is Richard Norton who was pretty famous for being the 'American Bad Guy' in a lot of asian martial arts flicks, including Jackie Chan's City Hunter (along with Gary Daniels, another one of those 'I know that dude!' dudes who's usually in these kinds of flicks.)
City Hunter is good bad and recommended.
Also "Five mile run through a swamp, what do you get?" The answer: Swamp ass.
🤣 🤣 Nice. I'll check out City Hunter.
One of the best so many great moments in the movie and in the commentary.
5:35 "Shall we shank now, or shall we shank later?" (I had to say that. It wrote itself imo lol). Nice to see the 4 of you on at the same. You all are a bunch of fun.
🤣 Thanks.
Omg I saw this movie when I was in my teens. You guys had me crackle up watching this. Love your channel brings back memories.
The breakdance move Kurt Thomas does on the pommel horse is a flare, which breakdance borrowed from gymnastics. The original name of the move is called the Thomas, named after the guy who created the move. I'm sure you can connect the rest of the dots.
Holy crap, I was expecting at least one of y'all to've seen this before. A staple of my early adolescence in the '80s.
This one escaped me, somehow.
Haha Dave’s laugh is freaking contagious
It is!
I remember watching this movie on TV as a kid. The Pommel horse scene was bizarre, but as a kid I loved it.
Our movies from the 80's especially the action movies are just classic.
Another great video guys. Thanks.
A little backstory. I watched this in the theater when it was first released. One of my first exposure to a glorious b movie. I went to see it based on the trailer. To anyone who has finished watching this video, do yourself a favor and watch the trailer on TH-cam. You would think they were advertising a different movie hahaha
I wish I could have seen this in the theater. Wild movie.
I’ve been waiting for this collaboration!!
🤣
"Unfortunately, we CANNOT send you to compete in the Ninja games, you're too SHORT to get on any of the rides"! 😂🤣🙃
🤣 🤣 Goddamn!
What is this, The Fantastic freaking 4?! I honestly would've never imagined. Just stellar!
🤣 Thanks!
As someone pointed out at 14:26 that is Richard Norton, he has worked with a lot of martial artists including Jackie Chan.
He was in City Hunter, and Mr. Nice Guy, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
In fact a couple of the movies he starred in whould be right up this channel's alley.
It's amazing to me how many people have never heard of the Star Wars Defense program. Reagan, Gorbachev come on folks.
We had heard of it, we just didn't understand what it had to do with the movie we just watched.
I'm so glad you got everyone together
Me too!
The pommel horse bit is one of the greatest parts of film in cinema history. Complete
80s film. Sit there get smashed and love it.
Hard to believe someone thought that was a good idea 🤣
@@JasonBrant they knew it was terrible. But couldn’t let u down 35 years later. “We are gonna put a bit in that Jason will guess in 35 years. Who’s Jason? Stfu and get on that pommel”
@@DannyBoy-jy1kq 🤣
31:20 The issue about rating: in our european country, if movie or series is not submitted to the ratings board, they will get automatic R-equivalent rating. That's why in 2008 release of 'Little House on the Prairie' DVD's was rated R here, *Paramount Home Entertainment* didn't want to submit it because it saved them couple thousand dollars (rating costs around 2 euros per minute).
I very much suspect the thing is same there, submit the movie and you will get a lower rating.
The 70's guy is Richard Norton. Martial arts actor, was in the octagon with chuck norris and Shangai express with Jackie chan. Love the content you guys provide.
Thanks. Looking forward to more from Richard Norton.
😂😂 this channel popped on my feed a couple weeks ago. Absolutely love it. Watched countless videos !!! Got a new SUBSCRIBER!!🤘🏻
At 26:25 he hits that move that King does off of tekken 😆
🤣
Bit of trivia- the director Robert Clouse was clinically deaf.
0:32 Best export is Parmesan Cheese. 1:25 Not every bad movie shows you the literally low bar they are aiming for. 2:11 If he is in this movie he already lost. 3:05 4'11 and Tom Cruise said yes, please. 4:14 Remember your safeword! 4:34 Looks like Matt Gaetz's dad. 5:47 Shots fired. 5:04 Some day son, you will be old enough to get your driver's permit. 5:25 Something tells me 'ladies' isn't this target audience. 8:31 Well, that TV remote is obviously defective. 9:09 That's what you get for wearing White after Labor Day. 9:19 You know what audiences want? A short, kung fu, gymnast that can walk on his hands. Said no one ever. 9:39 Yom Cruise is deeply offended by that remark.10:01 Hello, little boy. Did you need help finding your mommy? Oh, it's you. My bad. 10:33 He can't reach the doorbell. 11:16 "I'm sure my granddaughter will love these homemade cookies I ma--" old lady on a bicycle right before she was kicking in the head. 13:33 Ninjas? Is Japan just outsourcing ninjas? 14:09 All he has to do is stand there and the ninjas would just keep swinging over his head till they tired themselves out. 15:05 The very less popular 'Running of the Convicts.' 15:36 I went to Ninja school for this?! What am I? A crossing guard? 16:35 Lots of leeches stuck to your legs. 16:39 Kraven The Hunter wannabe. 16:55 That's what you get for eyeing my girl. 24:12 The Church of the Full Moon. 25:05 He is kicking everyone's ass at this Dance Off. 25:37 He just shrugged off that arrow to the chest and fall to his death. 27:10 This guy is acting like he is protecting her while she is the one kicking ass.27:40 Was this about space aliens this whole time? I must have missed that part. 'Terrible Movie' is based on the Novel 'Terrible Game.'
Oh man. I remember this movie. I was 15 when this advertised on actual television. Me and my friend Jason went and saw it on Friday night. I remember this because I spent the night at his house after school, and his mom didn’t get the paper for some reason. So we had to call the one screen movie palace (think that movie The Majestic) in Searcy, Arkansas called the Rialto Theater to see what the showtimes were. Which meant a long distance call back then, and his mom was so mad. Anyway, she drove us to Searcy, and we ate at Poor Boy’s Burger Barn, then walked to the theater and saw the movie. And we thought it was awesome, and you could probably do all that stuff if you trained for it. Oh man. Gymkata. I was a dumb kid.
Such a great kid with awesome taste, you mean. Sounds like a killer night.
Fyi.
Kurt Thomas was an 6 medal World Artistic olympic gymnast.
He and his wife ran a gymnastics school .He died in June 2020 due to a stroke at 64 years 😔
RIP
Fun video!! GYMKATA was directed by Robert Clouse--who also directed ENTER THE DRAGON (1973). Kurt Thomas never medaled in the Olympics, but had a career in and around the sport of Gymnastics. He sadly passed away in 2020. "Barry Gibb" is actually Richard Norton--an Aussie actor and martial artist who is the real deal. He is a close friend and trainer with Chuck Norris and appeared in a few of his movies (1980's THE OCTAGON features the two men in a fantastic Third Act duel). He also appeared in a great genre classic with the legendary Joe Lewis in FORCE: FIVE (1982)--a flick I highly recommend you screen for the show!
Added Force: Five to the watchlist. Thanks for the suggestion!
