  • Absolute Beginners — “Welcome to the world of your dreams!”
  • Yentl — “Nothing’s Impossible.”
  • Cobra — “Crime is the disease. Meet the Cure.”
  • Heartbeeps — “Be on the lookout for this gang of misfit robots.”
  • The Pirate Movie — “Buckle Your Swash and Jolly Your Roger for the Funniest Rock ‘N Rollickin’ Adventure Ever!”
  • Defcon-4
  • Rhinestone — “A rip roaring, hard lovin’ comedy hit with wonderful new songs by Dolly Parton.”
  • Ishtar
  • Over The Top — “Some fight for money… Some fight for glory… He’s fighting for his son’s love.”

And the “winner” is…

  • Gymkata — “The skill of gymnastics, the kill of karate.”
