Simply A Masterpiece

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

"Shajam!" Thank heavens Onar films released this on DVD because it ties up one hell of a cliffhanger from KILINK IN ISTANBUL. Running only 50 minutes (with the first 20 being a recap of ISTANBUL), this one features more of everyone's favorite criminal mastermind Kilink. He keeps seducing the ladies who apparently love kissing a skull mask. We finally get to see his death ray in action (its a big flamethrower that blows stuff up) and even get some comedy relief this time around with a knucklehead boat captain. They flying man with a big "S" on his shirt (copyrights be damned) is back and everyone is still clueless to his true identity. No one even suspects a thing when he shows up in a locked cell. When people ask where his alter ego went, he merely says, "Ah, I think I saw some of Kilink's guards take him away." He is quick on his feet. A section of the film (the climatic duel on top of a building) seems to have been lost and is recreated via a series of stills and voice-over. Strangely, this adds to the films charm. John Barry supplies most of the score. =)
