Arkin galore!

I got a bunch of Cuneyt Arkin films in the mail today! Yay! They're all on Turkish VCD, all costume adventure films (in the vein of the KARA MURAT series), and none of them are subtitled! But none of these films' story lines are particularily difficult to follow; Their plots are almost as thin as Hanna-Barbera cartoons! Lots of action, beautiful women, and Cuneyt Arkin being, well, Cuneyt Arkin! xD.

  6. Yep Jack,I've seen that one before supposedly it's a ltd "official" pressing of 30 dvds. I think it's one of Arkin's rarest flicks .If you go back to Onar's blog he mentions this film when he was buying up that lost kilink & ringo vs gestapo titles from a greedy collector from Ankara?? Could this be someone acting on behalf of that collector ??? Apparently the guy selling it was from australia but the dvd is in germany,sounds fishy,he hasn't sold a copy yet!!! He also had reissued another dvd that he was selling for $500 !!!! This one was limited to 15-20 copies. I think it was a tarkan or karaoglan type movie that's rare !!!

  8. JACK,Here's the post from onar's blog mentioning that Arkin movie that's on that expensive dvd reissue :-

    NEW ACQUISITIONS ADVENTURE INFO.

    In a previous post I was talking about a mad greedy collector in Ankara who owns 100's of 16mm films, most of them obscure titles that were considered to be LOST.

    Some of them are the superhero films RUZGAR HAFIYE, BOMBALA OSKI BOMBALA, KAMCILI KADIN (KINOVA 3) or Cuneyt Arkin's LOST 60's actioner CEHENEMME BIR YOLCU.

    Too bad the costs were so gigantic that I decided to buy ONLY the aforementioned 2 titles, RINGO GESTAPO'YA KARSI & that secret LOST KILINK film.

  9. Thanks for the link. I do actually remember Bill talking about that collector on his blog a while back. Gee, $500! That's just insane! I mean 300 is insane and pure greed. :-(

  12. I've just checked your link to the guy who bought (or won) a copy of CEHENEMME BIR YOLCU and he actually got it for "only" $60.

  13. Yeah I noticed the $60 dollar price but it's from 2007.it could be the same guy under a different name buying it from himself.I've seen this happen on ebay when someone starts up a new ebay store.they give themselves away easily.
