I was going to post this on the Guilty Pleasures thread, but then decided it deserves its own thread. Two American comic book characters and a Mexican wrestling icon come together in a.... Turkish film?!

Captain America and Santo the Wrestler set out to stop the evil Spiderman, who's hatched a fiendish plan to make money. He and his gang steal priceless antiques, sell it out to the bourgeois on wholesale and buy it back with fake money! Such a fiendish plot must be foiled, yet Spiderman has even another advantage aside from his superior criminal mind - the most wicked laughter this side of Constantinople! Oh, and did I mention those eyebrows?

The Greek company Onar Films has put this baby out on DVD, limiting the edition to 1,200 copies. The following mention on their website already established the release as a bona fide lost classic:

**CONDITION OF TRANSFER: All original materials - NEGATIVES, etc. - of this film were destroyed in a fire years ago. So, this transfer comes from the ONLY surviving elements and the quality is FAR FROM PERFECT but BETTER THAN ANY EXISTING BOOTLEG.**

The DVD is available at Onar Films' website, as well as Xploited Cinema.


Captain America and Spiderman engaged in some serious fisticuffs


The DVD trailer - or should I say, a collection of classic moments?

Ten bucks says the drunk in the cemetery is the director's cameo!

Since it's Christmas, I thought I'd provide links to the 3 Dev Adam series, which is a satisfactory short run of the Onar Films DVD. Basically the whole thing's in different sequence and has 'slight' differences in the subtitles, but that only adds to the charm of it. 3 Dev Adam is such a compelling story that it can be told from various perspectives.

Merry Xmas!

Episode I
Episode II
Episode III
Episode IV
Episode V
Episode VI
Episode VII
Episode VIII

I laughed until my stomach ached, and my eyes were full of tears! :lol:

Also, I got busted for watching it at work, but at that point I can't say that I gave a damn- it was totally worth it!

Sic- thanks for what will probably be the best Christmas present I'll get this year! :D 8)
