When the rights of Dan Tyler Moore in 1957 The terrible game It was purchased in 1960, producers Sperm To adapt it to a Hudson rock vehicle. The actor is supposed to play the role of the novel: A man who plays umbrellas in a remote Russian village in a life or death competition with the intention of winning the United States a new military base there. But the movie, which will eventually reach theaters later, took a completely different shape. Instead of the silver screen icon, the pioneering man was an Olympic sporty without any prior representative credits for his name. As she suggested her new title, she granted a battle championship to death, competing with her hero, a development of the unusual gymnastics. To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of its founding, here is a look at how Sports Hall The background of its way to the shame.

Sports Hall It has similarities with classic fighting arts.

In 1973 Enter the dragonand Bruce LeeA martial artist was recruited by an intelligence agency to infiltrate into a mysterious material championship organized on a private island. in Sports HallThe Jumaz Tomas Jonathan Kabut is also recruited by an infiltration intelligence agency to a mysterious championship, this time that was organized in the fictional country of Parmistan. Robert Claus Take out both films.

Sports Hall Does it change some things? Instead of trying to drop the head of a drug tracking crime, the Thomas champion is assigned to win the competition so that a satellite monitoring station can be built to thwart nuclear attacks in Parmistan. The competition itself is much more: only the last man to ensure to leave with his life intact. For the largest part, though, Sports Hall So that he does not bother to hide his inspiration – at all, it was always pale in comparison.

The film relied on a beginner beginner.

The gymnastics player who turned into the actor is a more popular professional axis than you think. Olympic gold medal winner Mitch Gayord The pioneering man played in both sports drama for the year 1986 American anthem And the dust shake the procedure in 1989 American cart. London Medal 2012 twice McCayla Maroni I enjoyed a frequent role in a small, dramid town Hart Dixie. The summer of the whole American games Mark case He wore Leonardo’s costume in two of the original Teenage ninja turtles sequel.

But Thomas lacks the natural charisma on the screen, which is not a big problem when he jumps, kicks, and rotates throughout the place-but when he is asked to persuade viewers that he is pressured by a princess who does not know fear or did not reunite an emotional with a long missed father who was supposed to fall until his death. The non -trained actor received a The worst new star Emmat in 1986 Razzies. (He lost to Brigitte Nielsen, who starred in both Red Sonia and Rocky fourth That year.) Thomas continued in the roles later in the TV movie circus And Spanish comedy The four championships.

Sports Hall Cold war propaganda was.

A Capot therapist explains about Parmyan’s general feelings shortly before reaching her chest with an arrow: “There are few anti -American feelings running.” Sports Hall She is doing her best to correct the balance, and draws its mysterious Soviet location as barren lands in the Middle Ages that “Crazies” inhabited and made its grand prize an early warning station for Ronald ReaganThe program to defend the reputable stars.

But in addition to its interpretation as a cold war propaganda, Sports Hall It can also be seen as a recovery for her pioneering man. Thomas was to reject What many believe is a confirmed gold medal in the 1980 Moscow Olympics when the Team Usa team boycotted the games. The reason they do not appear? The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.

Its manager was considered his past.

In addition to Enter the dragonRobert Klose had previously clarified many films of martial arts, including Jackie ChanThe first American project, The big quarrel. He was also nominated twice for the Academy Award thanks Cadillac and Blue Eyes LegendShort films released in the 1960s.

But it seems that the veteran in the Korean war has lost its way in the eighties. Power: Five It was a new edition that is useless Hot potatoesKung Fu B-Movie released just five years ago. Adapting to James Herbert’s prior horror Fifted eyes He was Preserved By critics, as well as The author himself (“Absolute garbage”). Even the actor who lacks experience as Thomas began to question his credentials. “When we were imagining, Robert Klose, as a director, seemed frankly to a little later,” later. He said Bristol Film Club in an interview about Sports Hall. “It was a low -budget movie, and as a result, there were very few restoration operations!”

It was a problem.

The era of VHS was undoubtedly a completely different time to manufacture Moviem. In an effective part of the cost of casting that will definitely happen Sports Hall It was canceled today, the locals who were trying to kill a cable shortly before his father had reached the rescue: They were realistic patients from a psychiatric hospital near the place where the film was launched in Yugoslavia. According to Tomas, those who have been recruited have been rewarded for their efforts not with difficult and cold money, but with alcohol and buffet. (The Olympic also made it clear that anyone attacked him physically during an exchange was only professional.)

Sports Hall It was not the only movie to choose this questionable option. A colleague “Very bad it’s good” classic Dwarf 2 (1990) I rented An additional version of the day from the Yutti University Pavilion as Malik to Nilbouj Medicine Store, and One flew over the cuckoo nest (1975) Patients were used from the hospital where he was shooting as additions.

Film makers have created meaningless scenes to display Thomas Gymnastics skills.

Kort Thomas A. Raed American gymnastics player: He became the first gold medal in his homeland in the World Gymnastics Championships in 1978, then he scored a six -time medal in the following year, which was only equality. Simon Bells. So it is not difficult to know why movie makers tried to show his skills on the big screen. The Titular Gymkata is a distinctive fighting method for Cabot, which combines gymnastics and martial arts and makes it a power that must be calculated.

Unfortunately, the combination of Thomas’s form of physical ingenuity in another person has proven to be one of the difference. The graceful art of gymnastics does not fully satisfy itself to the world of unrighteous martial arts, as proven by many definitely defined pieces: see the haven in which a cable swings on a place in a place like a high bar. Or when a miracle of the city’s madness is granted on a rock rock designed suspiciously like Pommel. Then there is an unintentionally happy scene when, for completely unknown reasons, our hero climbed with a drawer only using his hands.

“From time to time, the producers were just asking me about what I could do physically will look good in the movie – they simply ended up combating most of them into the movie,” says Thomas later.

Sports Hall He has a confusing romantic subcatebone.

Exactly installed as with all the strange romantic entity that includes the Kabout and the ruler of the daughter of Parmestan to a largely silent, Princess Roboli (Tishi Aghbiani). The husband’s meeting begins when the latter holds it with a rope, pushes it to a wooden beam, and strikes it as it really hurts me.

Not only is a cable immediately fond, but he is also trying to attract the royal by enacting a fake discussion between them, and he continuously writing himself in two different positions while adopting her voice. In some way, this mixture of violent physical assault and the strange plagiarism is made by the trick, and the unlikely duo finally jumps to bed before they longed to overthrow a military coup and the king’s butter. Unfortunately, Thomas had more chemistry with a temporary horse.

It is quoted for all wrong reasons.

It is fair to say that Sports Hall Screenwriter Charles Robert Karener has taken freedoms with source materials: The terrible game Gymnastics does not mention once. Although it is hardly a literary masterpiece, it is a solid piece of pulp imagination free from the usual participants-something that cannot be said to transmit the big screen.

“It has not ended yet, so put your devices again in your pants,” says Kabot, who tramples her with his rival by Sai-Brandishing Zamir (veteran Richard Norton) in a double performance. Then there is a confused speech from his eastern coach (Tadashi Yamashita), which appears to be an attempt to imitate metaphorical lessons Karate‘ Like all the best films, Sports Hall Quotes all the wrong reasons.

Sports Hall The abdomen in the box office.

Any hopes that Sports Hall Will you form a concession that includes the money immediately decreased when The opening box holidayTaking was revealed. The total combat arts crosses are less than $ 1.3 million to put in the 10 best America, much lower than other new entries, such as Silence Blog and Musk! Besides Beverly Hills PoliceWhich was in the twenty -second consecutive week in the list.

Embarrassment MAULINGS It also did not help. Miami HeraldFor example, he argued that it would be better to spend $ 4.50 to rent a tape from Thomas, which is ideal for “10” in the American Cup, while TV guide Note that “the film has only minimal credibility or intelligence, but since these characteristics do not contain a small or non -existent place in this type, this becomes unrelated.”

She failed to launch a new madness.

Whether it is Flashdance invention A heavy -type shirt with collarsand Pistol Double k Employment announcement For the American Navy, or Risk works finally Save Ray Ban Weverer From extinction, the eighties witnessed a full range of madness in the real world derived from Hollywood films. Unfortunately, my producer Sports Hall They failed to persuade the cinematic audience that they were a pioneer in a new hot sport.

“When gymnastics and karate are combined, combustion becomes an explosion, and a new type of superhero of martial arts is born,” it flourished Jarrar For notorious flop. that it Description He was equally proud (“A new type of martial martial arts! Gymnastics skill … killing karate”). Soon it became clear why the material endeavors were in the past – and eventually remained – the kinetic exclusive.

Sports Hall It has become classic worship.

Love Roomand Dwarf 2And many of the best films, Sports Hall It has been adopted as an unintentionally Fassiki, in the years that have passed since its release. It is something that Roger Ebert predicted in review: “This is one of the most funny films that I saw a while ago, but this did what you want: I heard real laughter during the show more than three or four of the alleged comedies that I saw recently. I even dealt with the movie as a comedy, but I am not sure that the directors will take it as a device.”
