Kahpe Bizans

It is an absurd comedy of Turkish history. It is written very clevery. For foreigners , it can be hard to understand some of the inside jokes about turkish culture. But I think lots of people loves this movie and watched it many times. I hope rating of it gets higher .

Absolutely horrific film. Ameteurish and it isn't funny at all. Lead character played by Mehmet Ali Erbil is very annoying. Edits by E.T and star wars is just plain stupid.

Actor Yilmaz Goksal is the only good think about this movie. He should master his English and move to Hollywood. Hollywood can not find an actor with his qualities. Other than Goksal this movie is a garbage.

Director Gani Mujde is a comic writer and this movie is his worst written work to this date.

Music of Cem Karaca is another plus of this waste of money. Actor Sumer Tilmac also have some presence. Actor who plays the three sons has no talent what so ever.

Another bomb of laughter from the director Gani Mujde - a black comedy in the style of Hot Shots. Kahpe Bizans is full of ironic references to old Turkish films. The dialogues are clever and good examples of Turkish humour, but they will sound "Greek" to those who arent Turk. Why Turkish directors cannot overcome "locality"? Think of Asterix and Obelix versus Sezar: it is French, but still has something to say to all. Anyway if you have time to waste laughing continously, I recommend you Kahpe Bizans. 5/10.

Although they showed this movie even in foreign cinemas (for example: berlin) its nothing for other countries. The movie is making fun about the movies which were made in Turkey during the 80s. They were about the ottomon empire and their favorite enemy, the bizans empire (do you call them "bizans" in english too? i dont know sorry) Whatever these movies were pretty cheap and they were full of kung fu fighting scenes. The main character of these movie was Cüneyt Arkin, very known guy in turkey who is into martial arts. The movie name "kahpe bizans" means something like "whore bizans" in english. Those old movies had some funny mistakes. Such like the main character has an casio clock on his arm althought the movie is about the history. Or they are riding horses and we see a motorcycle or a car far away. these were small mistakes and this movie is making jokes about them. Its like turkish "hot shots" just like one other guy told in this site. There are too many jokes and not everyone can understand them. They are making more jokes then the naked gun did. And thats too fast for a human brain. I dont think you will like it if you are not turkish although its pretty funny and bright.

Kahpe Bizans is the second film of the director Gani Müjde. It is basically a 'ZAZ team' type movie. It makes fun of the old Turkish films about national heroes like Karaoglan. And it simply excels in this. Good acting, lots of ingenuously written dialogues, best editing since the Eskiya and tons of clever jokes make Kahpe Bizans another milestone in Turkish film industry. I said another because Gani Müjde's other film Arabesk was also a masterpiece of the same kind. So I recommend you Kahpe Bizans as a good example of Turkish humor.
