Gymkata

Gymkata is a 1985 martial arts film starring Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas as Jonathan Cabot, an Olympic gymnast who combines his gymnastic ability with martial arts to enter a deadly competition in a fictional country, Parmistan. The film is based on the 1957 novel The Terrible Game by Dan Tyler Moore, adapted for the screen by Charles Robert Carner (of Blind Fury fame), and shot in Yugoslavia. Gymkata earned a Razzie Award nomination for Thomas as Worst New Star. It has developed a minor cult following as an unintentional comedy for its dubious premise, poor production quality and strange setting. Maxim lists the film as the 17th "Worst Movie of All Time".

Eastern Trainer:
There are many sounds around us, each is slightly different. So small as to go un-noticed by the person who is unaware. Do not hear the wood split. Hear the only sound of axe, cutting air. Read the air itself. It has much say to you.

Jonathan Cabot:
[Mackle aims a gun at him] Oh, sh*t.

Mackle:
This is a real shame, Cabot.

Colonel Cabot:
[to Zamir] The Khan explained the game! Now back off!

Zamir:
And you believed a fool.

Colonel Cabot:
[wounded] Win, Johnny...

Zamir:
[to Jonathan] Death becomes you.

Zamir:
[setting fire to the rope on which Cabot is climbing] Burn, you bastard!

Zamir:
[throwing a sword at Cabot] Die, you bastard!

Thorg:
[stepping out from behind some trees] The finish line for you, is right here, Cabot.

Jonathan Cabot:
Out of the way, Thorg.
