“Gymkata!” “Finally, it’s legitimate!”
That might be my favorite riff of the year! Now that Gymkata has finally been riffed, maybe 2020 can end.
Director Robert Clouse directed the premiere episode of The Master, used in Master Ninja I. Special effects supervisor Peter Dawson was a special effects assistant for Moon Zero Two.
While doing the research for the MST3K connections, I found out that Kurt Thomas died earlier this year on June 5 at the age of 64.
It’s a shame they couldn’t get Nadia Comaneci to costar as the eastern bloc temptress/spy. The love scenes on the pommel horse would have been tricky, but those two could have pulled it off.
“A “Just the Jokes” release.”
That sounds like it means riffs without the movie but I don’t see how that could work.
It going to sound odd, but “Gymkata” is a rare movie that I don’t want a riff for. There was something uniquely weird about this movie and about who I was when I saw it for the first time. When I watch this particular movie, the only jokes I want to hear in my head are my own.
That’s exactly what it is. You’re supposed to buy a copy of the movie & then sync up the riff track.
The Rifftrax app auto-syncs the two beautifully. The app listens for dialogue in the movie, figures out where in the movie you are, then starts the riff at the correct place.
That was back when they were trying to sell riffs of Twilight, Transformers, the Prequel Trilogy, and other low-hanging fruit they couldn’t afford.
Researching ALL the times “Gymkata!” was a marketable fan-ref on the Joel-era episodes? Don’t envy ya, got your work cut out…
(“Oh, hi, we were just, uh…GYMKATA!” – Hercules Unchained)
Sounds like someone’s implicitly criticizing the Joel era for using the same riffs again and again and again. Must not be much of a Joel era fan. And that’s okay.
I really miss the weekly episode and topic of the week discussion threads. I was with Satellite News when it was still on paper. I’d love to have more opportunities to interact again, even in a truncated form.
Gymkata vs. Hi-Keeba –
For you diligent note-takers of trivia I would like to know which catchphrase was used more often. In many instances they seemed to serve the same function. Please get back to us with that soonest.
