Für Kara Murat ist die Sache nun persönlich und tatsächlich schafft er es über Mustaphas Prinzessin in sein Schloss zu kommen...
Die italienisch-türkische Co-Produktion ist in gewisser Weise schon ein Kuriosum. Regie führt neben Natuk Baytan auch Ernst Hofbauer (unter dem Pseudonym Herb Al Bauer), die Hauptrolle spielt Cüneyt Arkin und den Film darf man sich als eine Mischung aus Kung-Fu und orientalischem Abenteuerstreifen . Imagine Similar Hofbauer, two years prior to that with Karate, kisses, blonde cats. Exotic locations mixed with Kung Fu Acrobat. At that time, of course, some quality, because the Shaw Brothers Studios acted as co-producer.
Kara Murat plays in the East, with typical elements such as the mighty Kahn, an evil renegade, a beautiful princess and Ali Baba and his 40 thieves are housed in a subplot. Somewhat unusual is that Cüneyt Arkin does not play an upright, shining heroes, but rather refers to the role of the anti-hero. After the kidnapping of the brother's revenge and villains ruled ever left to die in the desert. As Hercules and Kara Murat with superhuman strength is provided, so that for him an easy opponent is wildly into the air. Arkins fighting style, however, resembles "Dünyayi Kurtaran adam" (Turkish Star Wars). Very excessive, if his character would be a bit cynical, you could put him completely in the comic corner.
time of this exaggerated comic-like elements apart, Kara Murat also works as an adventure film. The costumes and decor are very good, exciting plot set in the final scene and very explosive.
Absolutely recommended.
