THE SWORD AND THE CLAW / KILIC ASLAN (1975) - Blu-ray Release of Turkish Superhero Film

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: They took his money, family, and hands—but they can’t take his revenge. Exploding from the same hallucinogenic netherworld as TURKISH STAR WARS, THE SWORD AND THE CLAW is a Turkish action-fantasy spectacle that stars genre legend Cüneyt Arkin in his most iconic role. Distributed in North America by exploitation maestro William Mishkin, this movie contains more lo-fi bloodshed, pop-art visuals, and bizarro dubbing than the boundaries of reality can handle.
