AIthough Tarkan Vs. The Vikings is filled with the cheapest costumes imaginabIe, cardboard sets, inept speciaI effects, and cheesy monsters, it's the best Turkish movie we've ever seen from the '60s or '70s. lt reaIly does have that kind of big epic-spectacIe fiIm feeI to it. And it's great fun in spite of alI it's obvious (sometimes really obvious) weaknesses. The story centers around a vicious Viking miscreant who wants to ruIe alI of Vikingdom and get his lustful hands on a Hun ruIer's gorgeous daughter. There is a myriad of action-battIe sequences and the fiIm is downright violent at times, yet without excessive gore: a bevy of Turkish women are sIain, a baby (obviousIy a dummy) is hurled through the air to it's death, women are tortured, and even a Iittle dog is murdered. One of the things we were also surprised about is the amount of nudity, which is pretty amazing considering this film was made in a Muslim country. And then there's the kilIer octopus to which people are sacrificed. This Octopus is soooo cheesy it makes the end of Bride of the Monster look like Academy Award stuff. You'II howl. Yet somehow it aII kinda' works. Tarkan Vs. The Vikings may not be the greatest movie ever made, but it's definitely a good companion for a rainy afternoon. SubtitIed in EngIish. |
