by Morteda Anise to promote the 1993 111-minute Mohamed Khan color
film Mister Karate starring Ahmed Zaki (1949-2005) based on
story, screenplay and dialogue by Raouf Tawfik with cinematography by
Kamal Abdel Aziz. Plot summary: After Salah [Ahmed Zaki] gets his
intermediate educational certificate he moves from his village to
Cairo to take a job parking cars at the garage where his late father
had once worked. He meets Nadia [Nahla Salama] who works in a video
shop next to the garage. She introduces him to the Karate films she
is selling and an innocent friendship develops between them. He also
becomes friends with a Karate coach named Hassan, [Ibrahim Nasr] who
gets him into advanced training at a sports club and gives him the
nickname Mister Karate. Salah is injured in a traffic accident and
comes out of the hospital with a pronounced limp. He leaves his job
at the garage and goes to work parking cars at another garage. There
he occasionally uses his karate skills against local thugs and gets
favorable attention from a wealthy man; this represents a positive
move from the life of a homeless person with no purpose to that of
someone with slightly greater significance. When Salah discovers bags
of heroin in the trunk of the wealthy man's car, he is beaten up by
the man's gang. Nadia discovers she cannot live without Salah and
agrees to marry him despite his poverty; they go together to his
village where they become farmers after all their dreams in the city
have fallen through. In a March 2005 interview shortly before his
death Ahmed Zaki said he regretted the title because the film is
really about the troubles of a simple man trying to survive in Cairo.

Summons to Obey [anzar bil-ta'a] (1993) - (Laila Eloui) Egyptian movie poster
Amina, a pretty university student, was from a poor family in a lower-class neighborhood; while studying she had to work as a sales girl in a commercial shop. She loved her neighbor Ibrahim the attorney. They were too poor to marry so they had sexual liaisons. Amina lost her virginity. Ibrahim declared a desire to marry, but Amina's mother refused to allow this, especially since the rich boy Salah wanted to marry Amina to get the family out of the cycle of poverty in which they had lived for many years. Although Amina hated Salah and loved Ibrahim, she had to agree to marry Salah to please her powerful mother, who also dominated the father. Ibrahim had to reconcile himself to his beloved Amina's acceptance of the idea of marrying another, just as he also had to accept the imprisonment of his two friends of Ashraf and Tareq. He decided to leave Egypt with his friend Aziz. However he dissevered he could not do this because his love for Amina was too deep, as was the intensity of his attachment to his country. He started legal action to demand obedience from Amina even though he was not officially married to her. Ibrahim tried to prove the depth of his sexual relationship with Amina to emphasize his right to marry her, even though he created a scandal in front of the family and the people of the neighborhood. The case failed, but Amina confessed to her father the truth about her relationship with Ibrahim so he would agree to her marriage with him; this prevented a scandal and brought the lovers back together.
