Casus Kiran (1968)
(aka Spy Smasher)
DIRECTOR: Yilmaz Atadeniz (Deathless Devil, Kilink Istanbul Da)
STARS: Irfan Atasoy (Kilink Istanbul Da, The Red Mask), Sevda Ferdag, Yildirim Gencer
SYNOPSIS: Action packed Turkish ode to the superhero serials of the 1940s. Our hero Spy Smasher doesn't fly, have super strength or use fancy weapons. He just rides around on his motorcycle and kicks ass when bad guys are around. He has a tight mask and flowing black cape. His girlfriend is also his sidekick: she wears sunglasses, a leather mini-skirt and go-go boots! They go up against a never-ending supply of henchmen ruled by the evil villain "Mask". Filled with action: fights, chase scenes, a kidnapped scientist, cliffhangers and even some karate. Even though this is set in modern day Istanbul (circa 1968) the locations make it look like it takes place 40 years earlier! When the hero rides his motorcycle, some of the soundtrack music will sound very familiar. That's because it's stolen from American biker films of the late 60's.In black and white, with film damage and scratches from what is most likely one of the few surviving prints in the world. In spoken Turkish with English subtitles.
Bonus: Almost 25 mins of wild Turkish film trailers
Note: Eagle-eyed fans will recognize the above art. The makers of Casus Kiran stole the image from Mister X
