A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
- Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
- Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
- If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
- Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

Back in the mid to late 80s there were drastically different pricing for VHS movie rentals. New releases could cost $5-$8 for a single 24 hour rental. Some rental stores had a middle tier price/time structure as well....then there was the garbage tier rentals of 99 cents for anywhere from 24 hours to a week.
Gymkata was one of those movies that would regularly be found on the 99 cent garbage tier movies. When you're scraping together coins for a to afford a 99 cent rental for Friday night, you want to get one of the best garbage tier movies you can.
Gymkata was always a regular at the top of the list of favorite garbage tier rentals! We rented it many times!
