Because the character's costumes were basically just plain sweatpants and sweatshirts, my cousin and I could go into our closet and get authentic Gymkata sportswear and play Gymkata in the woods behind my house.

But seriously, that is the greatest description of a female movie role I've ever heard.

Fuck yeah, king. Fuck yeah.
They had this thing in Portland called B-Movie Bingo for a little bit and I kept hounding those hipsters to play Showdown in Little Tokyo because I knew it'd make 'em ticket sales and be a fucking blast to watch. Sure enough, when they ran out of their own bad VHS tapes, they played this in a theater and it was packed.
The soundtrack does feature the band "Tantric" so I think he just edges, never actually goes over the edge. He was taught tantra/edging by Master Jim Norton.
Holy shit I remember some kid when I was about 10 talking about showdown in little tokyo and assuming he got the name wrong for years. Now I learn it's an actual film
Also left out that his dad died in that tournament decades before, so it was almost a revenge quest for him. And spoiler alert, when he runs through the obstacle courses dad is still there 😂
I saw it a few times when I was a little kid. I remember being on the edge of my seat when those crazy village peasents were chasing him through the town and he also had that body builder coming after him. As I got older I thought I dreamt that movie until I found it again. Its a terrible movie but gives me nostalgia
@@liltick102 I watch a lot of so bad it's good stuff so I don't know what your tolerance is like because I love Army of Darkness. I'd say it's borderline fun but the budget is pretty low. If you're looking for something bad good try Blood Diner or Ninja 3 The Domination.
i'm sorry that nicks beard, stav's quadruple chin and cool adam's glasses get you uncomfortably errect, that's an internal issue you gotta sort out yourself my brother
10:53 "Swan" is also the name of a defunct ham radio company (they mostly built shortwave transceivers) in Oceanside, CA., so the stupid joke has longer legs than Nick thought.
Ballistic is special because it's the only movie filmed in my city that's actually set there. Never mind that it's totally retarded for a movie about international assassins to take place in Vancouver, and it was supposed to take place in Thailand but they couldn't fly there because of 9/11, it's still special.
My favorite part is how the moment in Driven that turned Nick off from it is literally the most realistic part of the movie. Juan Manuel Fangio used to do the same trick with a dime, but he’d let the guy he was betting call which tire he’d have to pick it up with. Of course, this has never been confirmed, but Fangio was racing at a time where video cameras needed generators to run properly. I wouldn’t be surprised if the footage of such an event is lost to history for that reason

Seriously, thank you man, you just reminded me of two movies that I wanted to see again, that with the blonde bloke and the one with the poison in the beginning
OMG! I’ve been watching the channel for a few days now, loving it. I have had memories of the movie Gymkata playing in my brain for 3.5 decades and I never knew the name of the movie and could never find it, so glad I found it here 😂
The funny thing about Driven is that there's a scene where a wheel gets ripped off a car and flies into the audience. About 3 years before the movie came out, something similar happened at two actual CART (which is the racing series in the movie and basically Indycar 2.0) races where three people in the grand stands died in each incident.
