So magical!!!

Warning: Spoilers
Kilink - KIlling - is an Italian anti-hero in the mold of Diabolik co-opted by the Turkish copyright smashing machine, which also has its grimy hands on Superman in the sequel to Kilink Istanbul'da. You may ask, why have I put these films on the site completely out of order? That's because it won't matter. They make little to no sense as it is in the very best of ways and should be experienced as singularly wonderful works of strange art. Just watch them in any order - alphabetical, chronological or, like me, as you find them.

Superman located our skeleton-suited villain's secret base, the place where he has hidden away his fiancee and her father. Superman has a fiancee? Well, Superman also has the same origin as Captain Marvel, the mask of Batman, the striped underwear of the Lee Falk Phantom and a weightlifter belt.

The end of this movie has been lost, so it is shown as still photos with narration. More movies should embrace this kind of ridiculous storytelling, as we learn that Kilink has fallen to his doom, because Turkish Superman doesn't have the same "nobody dies" rules as Clark Kent. Don't worry. He literally laughs it off in the next movie, Kilink: Soy ve Öldür.

This was written by Çetin Inanç, who would go on to make even more baffling and wonderful movies. It stars Irfan Atasoy, who was also in Maskeli Seytan and Spy Smasher and Süheyl Egriboz, who would later appear in Vashi Kan.

You have to love that the look of these Turkish superheroes were literally three decades or more behind the times, not even realizing that Eurospy and Batmania had changed the look of the movie serial.

Taking a trip to the Kilink
udar5523 January 2006
"Shajam!" Thank heavens Onar films released this on DVD because it ties up one hell of a cliffhanger from KILINK IN ISTANBUL. Running only 50 minutes (with the first 20 being a recap of ISTANBUL), this one features more of everyone's favorite criminal mastermind Kilink. He keeps seducing the ladies who apparently love kissing a skull mask. We finally get to see his death ray in action (its a big flamethrower that blows stuff up) and even get some comedy relief this time around with a knucklehead boat captain. They flying man with a big "S" on his shirt (copyrights be damned) is back and everyone is still clueless to his true identity. No one even suspects a thing when he shows up in a locked cell. When people ask where his alter ego went, he merely says, "Ah, I think I saw some of Kilink's guards take him away." He is quick on his feet. A section of the film (the climatic duel on top of a building) seems to have been lost and is recreated via a series of stills and voice-over. Strangely, this adds to the films charm. John Barry supplies most of the score. =)

Kilink 2
yusufpiskin20 October 2021
The movie depicts the struggle of two superheroes. Kilink is after a power that will rule the world. He is working on a death weapon that will bring all his enemies to their knees. That's why he kidnaps many people and kills some. The police department is in pursuit of catching Kilink. However, the only person who will stop Kilink will be the Flying Man.

Including 'Superman & Shazam!
