Cast: Oktar Durukan, Inci Eray, Yilmaz Kurt

This weird Turkish movie mixes bruceploitation films with the crime thriller formula. Three martial arts heroes rage war with a criminal syndicate and I am sorry I can't give more plot details, because I watched the movie without subtitles. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable slice of 80s exploitation filmmaking from Turkey and it boasts several training and fighting scenes. The action set pieces include a public square, a ship's deck, a warehouse and a building in flames. Oh, there are also ninja look-alikes plus a woman is thrown off a balcony! As for the good guys, one is obviously a Bruce Lee clone, while the second reminds of Richard Harrison and the third one maybe Chuck Norris. The soundtrack rips off music from Enter The Dragon and...Suspiria, making the result even more surreal. Cheap but enjoyable fun from the director of 'Turkish Star Wars':)

Turkish cinema reflects the country's position between East and West, combining melodrama, political allegory, and contemplative realism. It often explores identity, memory, and the tension between tradition and modernity. The Yeşilçam era was prolific, while modern auteurs have gained festival prominence.
