How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gloriously earnest action vehicle built around the premise of using gymnastics as a martial art, complete with inexplicable pommel horse training montages and gymnastic tumbling deployed mid-fight. It's '80s exploitation cinema that commits fully to its ridiculous but endearing concept.
