Kurt Thomas is the master of Gymkata

Nathan and I had the privelege of meeting the great Kurt Thomas yesterday. He had lots of good things to say about Gymkata, which is arguably the greatest action movie ever made in Yugoslavia in the 80s.

He told Nathan and I a lot about the making of the film, sort of like a "Live Kurt Thomas Gymkata Audio Commentary."

It's certainly worth a rent if not purchase, and there are many websites devoted to Gymkata, so you could spend hours or days studying it.

Here are some video clips from it, like the Trailer:



And here is the now legendary Pommelhorse sequence:
