- **Event Name**:  SPITFIRE - A goofy gymnastic spy caper
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: SPITFIRE is a goofy delight. It is a prime example of what I call sportsploitation – where a real life athlete stars in an action movie which supposes their skill as a substitute for martial arts. In this case, its 1980s gymnastics superstar Kristie Phillips back-flipping her way through a globetrotting spy adventure.  

The movie kicks off with Rad Bad Mad alumni Lance Henriksen James Bonding it up in bed with a 1980s Playboy model. But martini-and-rock-hard-breast-implants time is cut short when an evil spy lady (you know she’s evil because she’s british and says things like “where are the Ukrainian launch codes?”) busts in the door accompanied by her henchmen the T1000 from Terminator and the guy who says “let me tell you about my mother” before shooting that guy in Bladerunner. The only thing for Lance to do is turn into his stuntman, strap on a jetpack and fly through a hilariously Temu-assed attempt at a Bond title sequence before the film starts proper and we meet our spunky protagonist, his daughter Kristie Phillips who gets dragged into his jetsetting spy-nanigans.

Unlike last years Rad Bad Mad NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE (where John Stamos plays the gymnastic son of a superspy but never does any fucken gymnastics) SPITFIRE star Kristie starts the movie backflipping and never stops. Henchmen get scissorkicked like no tomorrow, any pole becomes something to spin on and you better believe she gonna use scaffolding as parallel bars to high-kick hapless baddies. 

The inventiveness of the film making is the real star and that’s no surprise as this film comes from the king of the no-budget actioners Albert Pyun. A man who always tried far harder than he should, Albert directed another RBM favourite NEMESIS (the one where the cyborgs shoot doors in walls and floors) and he is a legend for turning tiny budgets into flicks that are sometimes inept but never boring.

For example, I’m certain Lance Henriksen (who pops up throughout the film) was on set for like 2 days (just watch for the number of reverse shots where he’s clearly not in the country as the main action). And the scenes in Hong Kong feature crowds of people just slowly gathering in the background cause Albert’s is just filming action scenes on open streets. Oh yes, and despite this microbudget, this movie is filmed on location in Athens, Rome, Hong Kong and the Philippines – which also doubles unconvincingly as Kuala Lumpur. And I haven’t even mentioned Kristie’s sidekick – a Warhol-mopped drunken sports reporter who thinks this whole spycaper is really a cover for sports doping. 
But does all this amount to an enjoyable film? Only you can help us decide when we vote on whether SPITFIRE is Rad, Bad or Mad!
