Touches You

Beautiful, moving film.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Parmistan is a tiny mountainous nation located in the Hindu Kush. It is also the prime location for a satellite station coveted by every powerful nation including the US for its Star Wars program. Parmistan runs a medieval Game which no outsider has won for 900 years. The American government recruits Olympic level gymnast Jonathan Cabot to participate in the Game after his father goes missing. He is trained and assisted by Princess Rubali.Kurt Thomas could have been Olympic champ. Instead, he is more well-known for this cheesy cult-classic B-movie. His acting level is what I expect from a non-actor. His Razzie nomination is overkill. Of course, somebody should teach him how to run without bouncing but in general, he's not the worst thing about this movie. The movie is called Gymkata. One should start there for any problems. Everything about this is cheesy. It's perfect for a drinking game or as a spoof of other B-action movies. On the positive side, there is plenty of B-movie action and exotic Eastern European locations. It's one of those movies where one asks if it's so bad that it's good.

Had enjoyed it when i saw this in the late 80s on a VHS. Revisited it recently on a DVD jus for nostalgic moments. It is obviously derived from Enter The Dragon since its frm the same director. It has stiff dialog, meh story-line, pathetic acting. The budget is low. Everything bad about this film is a proof that this cud have happened in the 80's. Hav learnt walking on hands after watching this flick. The village scene was creepy n surreal, but was hilarious too. The two faced guy, the naked guy n of course the self arm chopping scene. This movie is a must for fans of the American martial arts movies of the 80s and early 90s. Bad acting by Kurt Thomas. His hairstyle is one of the highlights of this movie.

this funny movie on TNT a bit.. called Jim Kata, or some crap. I had seen just one part of that movie before, and this guy was like on this gymnast beam thing, and spinning around and kicking all these poor people, and I demanded my sister look really quickly, but she didn't come that instant, and missed that funny fight scene ,so no whenever we see that movie on TNT, we have to watch it, because the guy beats EVERYONE up, and he is some mullet guy who is just some gymnast, and it's like some conspiracy movie based in India, and everyone gets shot for no reason. It's hilarious, it's almost like one of those movies the guys on Mystery Science Theater would make fun of, it's just ridiculous....... one of the guys' partners turns on him, and points a gun at him, then this guy pops out of the shadows and machine guns that guy, and is like "this is the secret service!", and Jim Kata just shrugs and says "whatever".. lol..

Although I had seen "Gymkata" in a theater way back in '85, I couldn't remember anything of the plot except for vague images of Kurt Thomas running and fighting against a backdrop of stone walls and disappointment regarding the ending.After reading some of the other reviews I picked up a copy of the newly released DVD to once again enter the world of Gymkata.It turns out this is one of those films produced during the '80s that would go directly to video today. The film stars champion gymnast Kurt Thomas as Jonathan Cabot, recruited out of the blue to infiltrate the nation of "Parmistan" to enter and hopefully win "The Game," a suicidal bloodsport sponsored by the Khan who encourages his people by yelling what sounds like "Yak Power." The goal of the mission involves the Star Wars defense system. Jonathan is trained in the martial arts by Princess Rubali, who never speaks or leaves the house. Once trained tries to blend in with the locals by wearing a bright red sweater with dashes of blue and white. Needless to say Cabot finds himself running and fighting for his life along the stone streets of Parmistan, on his way to a date with destiny, and the Game.Star, Kurt Thomas was ill served by director Robert Clouse, who it looks like was never on the set. The so called script is just this side of incompetent. See other reviews for the many howlers throughout. The town of crazies has a few good moments, but is ultimately ruined by bad editing. The ending...meh. Still there's the germ of a good action adventure here. A Hong Kong version with more visceral action and faster pace might even be pretty good.
