They took his money. They took his family. And now, they have taken his hands. Bud they will never take his revenge! Exploding from the same hallucinogenic netherworld as Turkish Star Wars, The Sword and the Claw stars Turkish genre legend Cüneyt Arkin in his most iconic role. It is Tarzan meets The Three Stooges, meets Shaw Brothers’ wu-xia with more lo-fi bloodshed and pop-art visuals than the boundaries of reality can handle. We present this incredibly silly gem in the even more warped US grindhouse version, omitting 20 minutes of boring plot and substituting that loss with lunatic dubbing. Hell hath no fury like a Turkish prince raised by lions, who was stabbed to death and had his hands doused in acid.
