Kilink Istanbul'da (1967)

Kilink, an international criminal mastermind known for his skeleton costume and grinning skull mask, lies mummified in a coffin for a long time. A crime syndicate brings him back to life, and he comes to Istanbul in search of formulas that would enable him to rule the world, or a weapon that emits ultraviolet rays (described in some sources as a weapon capable of bringing about the end of the world). Kilink kills Professor Hulusi, who possesses these crucial formulas. Deeply grieving his father’s death, Professor Hulusi’s son encounters a mysterious, white-bearded figure who appears after an accidental explosion at his father’s grave. This figure, named Shazam Baloum, gives Osman superpowers and a magic word such as “Shazem,” which he must never say in anyone’s presence. When Osman speaks the magic word, he appears in an explosion and assumes the identity of the Flying Man (a character with a Superman-like costume and a Batman-like mask). From then on, the Flying Man’s sole aim is to avenge his father and stop Kilink, preventing the formula or weapon from falling into the wrong hands. A fast-paced, fantastical series of chases and fights between Kilink and the Flying Man unfolds on the streets of Istanbul and in various other locations. The Flying Man can fly and is impervious to bullets. At the end of the film, after their fierce struggle, Kilink is captured by the Turkish police.
