Cairo to buy it. As soon as he got there he met Bolbol, [Sa'eed
Saleh] a professional thief, who stole the money the people of Ragab's
village had given him, then disappeared in the Cairo crowds. Ragab
went looking for him. He ended up in a nightclub, where he met

had seen Ragab and fled with the money. When Ragab found him he
claimed to have lost all the money gambling. Ragab tried to find
work. When that failed he asked Bolbol to teach him how to gamble.

him; Bolbol tried to defend Ragab and suffered a few stab wounds. The

Pictured are two Egyptian promotional posters designed by Sami for the
1986 Ahmad Fouad film The Train [al-qatar] based on story,
screenplay and dialogue by Mohammad Said Marzouk with cinematography by
Ramses Marzouk. Plot summary: The train engineer Ibrahim [Fouad
Ahmed] was sure his wife Gamalat [Amal Ibrahim] had betrayed him with
his assistant and colleague Sobhi [Abu Bakr Ezzat]. He killed her
after confronting her with her confession. He decided to kill his
disloyal colleague while they were on the high-speed train at the
Assyut Station; they got into a fight and fell off the train while it
was throttling down the tracks at high velocity. A drunken passenger saw this while he
was leaning out a window and retching; he told the other passengers
but no one believed him. The train did not stop at its stations on
the way to Aswan and fear and panic spread among the passengers. On
board the wreck-bound train a girl named Farida [Mervat Amin] and a
boy named Khaled [Nour El-Sherif] fell in love after a brief
acquaintance as fellow travelers. Khaled crawled up on the roof and heroically tried to bring
the train into the wheelhouse; a rescue helicopter moved him to the engineer's cabin with a sling so he could stop it
before it crashed. The girl was proud of what the boy she loved had
done. Director Ahmed Fouad makes an appearance as a hitchhiker making
his way to Assyut about 16 minutes into the film.

This is an Egyptian poster for the 1976 Natuk Baytan
and Ernst Hofbauer Turkish film Magic Man [Karamurat]
starring Cuneyt Arkin. The poster was printed by
Anwar Printers with art by Ahmed Fouad. Uncle
Hugo from the Czech Republic wrote a nice review of
the film for IMDB: The main benefit of this adventure
movie with plentiful kung-fu fights is the eponymous
hero's way of kicking and beating as many villains as
possible. Kara Murat uses an unusual martial art to
accomplish his mission- to defeat an evil governor
of certain district of Turkey,whose assassins kidnapped
Kara Murat's brother and killed brother's wife. Although
there is very little blood or gore present in all fight
scenes, some techniques employed by Kara Murat
bring a new perspective to the genre of kung-fu films.
Our action hero seems to be capable of levitation as
his whole body in horizontal position hits villains
and puts them to sleep. Karat Murat also possesses
extraordinary strength that allows him to throw
enemies around and a specific sense of humor
resulting in various comedic action scenes such as a
villain's pants falling down and revealing the naked
truth after the stroke of Kara Murat's sword, Kara
Murat using vegetables as weapons or a bad guy
having his set of false teeth removed during a
confrontation.Another thing worth mentioning is a
character entitled "Angel Face", an incredibly tall and
ugly villain who eventually becomes Kara Murat's ally.
All in all, despite some technical shortcomings and a
cameraman's shadow clearly visible on one occasion,
the creators succeeded in putting together an
enjoyable action-adventure with a dash of comedy,
kung-fu and Ali Baba's Forty Thieves.
