Shown here is a 25" x 36" Egyptian poster designed by Anise to promote
the 1993 111-minute Mohamed Khan color film Mister Karate
starring Ahmed Zaki (1949-2005) as Salah based on story, screenplay
and dialogue by Raouf Tawfik with cinematography by Kamal Abdel
Aziz. Plot summary: After Salah gets his intermediate certificate he
moves from his village to Cairo to work parking cars at the garage
where his father used to work before he died. He meets Nadia [Nahla
Salama] who works in a video shop next to the garage. She introduces
him to the Karate films she is selling, and an innocent friendship
develops between them. He also becomes friends with a Karate coach
named Hassan, who gets him into advanced training at a sports club and
gives him the nickname Mister Karate. Salah is injured in a traffic
accident and comes out of the hospital lame. He leaves his job at the
garage and goes to work parking cars at another garage. There he
occasionally uses his karate skills against local ruffians and gets
some favorable attention from a local tycoon; this represents a
positive move from the life of a homeless person with no purpose to
that of someone with slightly greater significance. However when he
discovers bags of heroin in the trunk of the tycoon's car, he is
beaten up by the tycoon's gang. Nadia discovers she cannot live without
Salah and agrees to marry him despite his poverty; they go together to
his village where they become farmers after all their dreams in the
city have fallen through. In a March 2005 interview shortly before
his death Ahmed Zaki said he regretted the title because it
misrepresents the story in the film, which was really about the
troubles of a simple man trying to survive in Cairo.
