This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Ahmed Fouad for the
1976 Natuk Baytan and Ernst Hofbauer film The Magic Man
starring Cuneyt Arkin as Kara Murat. The original Turkish title
is Kara Murat seyh gaffar'a karsi; an alternate English title
is Karamurat. Uncle Hugo of the Czech Republic wrote this
review of the film for IMDB: The main benefit of this adventure movie
with plentiful kung-fu fights is the eponymous hero's way of kicking
and beating as many villains as possible. Kara Murat uses an unusual
martial art to accomplish his mission of defeating an evil governor of
certain district of Turkey,whose assassins kidnapped Kara Murat's
brother and killed his brother's wife. Although there is very little
blood or gore present in all fight scenes, some techniques employed by
Kara Murat bring a new perspective to the genre of kung-fu films. Our
action hero seems to be capable of levitation as his whole body in
horizontal position hits villains and puts them to sleep. Karat Murat
also possesses extraordinary strength that allows him to throw enemies
around and a specific sense of humor resulting in various comedic
action scenes such as a villain's pants falling down and revealing the
naked truth after the stroke of Kara Murat's sword, Kara Murat using
vegetables as weapons or a bad guy having his set of false teeth
removed during a confrontation.Another thing worth mentioning is a
character entitled "Angel Face", an incredibly tall and ugly villain
who eventually becomes Kara Murat's ally. All in all, despite some
technical shortcomings and a cameraman's shadow clearly visible on one
occasion, the creators succeeded in putting together an enjoyable
action-adventure with a dash of comedy, kung-fu and Ali Baba's Forty
Thieves.
