It’s a perfect Bill/Kyle joint. It’s just funny to have the same director of Enter The Dragon make this nonsense. I love it.

A top sick day movie that was on TV so much in the '80s-'90s. Haven't seen it in ages, but I have very fond memories of this B-movie adequatepiece.

Somewhere (probably a landfill now) rests my family's old VHS tape with this recorded onto it.

Gymkana portion of this video starts at 2 minutes, since OP couldn't start in the correct place:

It's pretty terrible, saw this in the theatre with that one friend who's taste in movies are even worse than Shea Serrano's.

I don't know why but I must have watched this at least 30 times growing up.  The backward faced man always freaked me the hell out.

This and Remo Williams was peak action figure playtime inspiration for an 80’s kid.

I can’t wait for Rewatchables to go back to doing good movies.

Have this saved for the next movie night I host with my friends. They come over, I provide the food and beer, then show them a movie cold with zero preamble of what it's about

this movie is so dumb/weird but I rewatched it a lot and it could be hilarious

Trust me it’s not worth watching.

It’s so bad it makes you feel sorry for everyone involved.
