Gymkata (1985)
Welcome to Weird Kid Video. I'm Keean Murrell Snape and I miss video stores so much I opened one in my own home packed with VHS tapes of trash cinema I grew up watching at a highly inappropriate age. Every week I force my co-hosts Kira Jade Oppitz and Brodie McDonald to sit through one of these movies so we can talk about it. Join us this week as we discuss a new kind of martial arts combat. The skill of gymnastics, the kill of karate! Episode 1 of Weird Kid Video dives way too deep into the 1985 cult classic(?) Gymkata. Directed by Robert Clouse Screenplay by Charles Robert Clouse based on The Terrible Game by Dan Tyler Moore. Starring Kurt Thomas, Tetchie Agbayani and Richard Norton. Watch the trailer here.
