The Ultimate Weapon: Gymkata

His assignment: a secret mission for the United States government. His only weapon: himself.

Hopefully this Olympics' gymnastics stars will exercise better judgment in their post-competition careers than former champion Kurt Thomas. A world champion, Kurt was denied his chance to go for the gold after those nasty Russians decided to take a drive through Afghanistan and the USA boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics (apparently the Russkies learned their lesson, and this time they invaded during the games).

A few years later, someone apparently thought: "You know what would be cool? A movie with ninjas ... and pommel horses!" Check out the trailer. Keep in mind, the purpose of a trailer is to make you really want to see a movie. Which for me sort of makes this an "anti-trailer."
