Gymkata
The skill of gymnastics, the kill of karate.
Directed by Robert Clouse
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Jadran Film
A high-energy 1980s action-adventure that blends gymnastics and martial arts spectacle with a straightforward spy-mission plot, leaning into the era's campy earnestness.
U.S. agents send a gymnastic martial artist to secure a missile-base site in the savage country of Parmistan.
