(1968) Sevda Ferdag, Irfan Atasoy, Yildirim Gencer, Suzan Avci. Oh joy…another Turkish comic book superhero movie! Featured here is “Spy Smasher,” who looks kind of like “the Phantom” or one of those other old Marvel or DC heroes. As you would expect in a grade-Z delight like this, there’s a plethora of action: fist fights, gun battles, chases, etc. It’s all REALLY schlocky so you know it’s gotta be good…right? The villain here is “the Mask.” He and his cohorts have nefarious plans that only Spy Smasher can stop. Will the world grind to a terrifying halt, or will Spy Smasher save it? Spy Smasher’s girlfriend is a Turkish cutie adorned in a mini-skirt and go-go boots. English subtitles. Good color, from 16mm.
