“Çirkin Kral” is the film which gave Yılmaz Guney his legendary nickname, “the ugly king”. As a copy of cheap Hollywood action/thrillers “Çirkin Kral” imitates the clichés of the genre but also provides a local and Turkish tone too, thanks to Yılmaz Guney’s anti-hero character and his co-star, Tuncel Kurtiz. A classic and very rare movie from the unforgettable director of fantastic and thriller movies.Read More »
Superman manages to locate Kilink’s hideout on a remote island in Turkey where his fiancé and her father are being held behind bars.

Now Kilink wants revenge, and to then take over the world!Read More »
