    Salad varie'

    Another bomb of laughter from the director Gani Mujde - a black comedy in the style of Hot Shots. Kahpe Bizans is full of ironic references to old Turkish films. The dialogues are clever and good examples of Turkish humour, but they will sound "Greek" to those who arent Turk. Why Turkish directors cannot overcome "locality"? Think of Asterix and Obelix versus Sezar: it is French, but still has something to say to all. Anyway if you have time to waste laughing continously, I recommend you Kahpe Bizans. 5/10.

    This is an 'absurd comedy'.

    This is an 'absurd comedy' and absurd comedies are absurd. There is no vagina or penis, just only breast in only one scene. To understand, you have to know old Turkish films. You know, the most difficult kind of film to translate other languages is comedy films. Because, you have to find exact reflections of the 'ideas' in other cultures. For example, this movie contains some wordplay. I see in other comments, it is mentioned that the directing and playing are bad. I do not know the director but the actors and actresses, who are the most known ones in Turkey and some of them are known worldwide, are very successful. In contrast, in this kind of films, the most important part of film is scenario. The producer and one of the scenarists, Gani Mujde, and Faith Solmaz, a caricaturist and scenarist, are the best ones in their branches. In addition, as to many people, the best caricaturist in Turkey, Selcuk Erdem, has helped the scenario.

    if turkish people like this film, I'm worried about the turkish cinema's future...

    I thank god I didn't go to cinema for this film. I would be very sorry for the money I gave. I saw it on tv and I couldn't beleive my eyes. I wonder if any film could be worse than this one. they spent millions of dollars to this film for nothing. awful acting and awful scenario. I think the other people who wrote comments are the man working from that film company ;) it's very big fiasco! in year 2000 can they still laugh at this kind of film? embarassing...

    Bad acting horrific movie

    Absolutely horrific film. Ameteurish and it isn't funny at all. Lead character played by Mehmet Ali Erbil is very annoying. Edits by E.T and star wars is just plain stupid.

    Actor Yilmaz Goksal is the only good think about this movie. He should master his English and move to Hollywood. Hollywood can not find an actor with his qualities. Other than Goksal this movie is a garbage.

    Director Gani Mujde is a comic writer and this movie is his worst written work to this date.

    Music of Cem Karaca is another plus of this waste of money. Actor Sumer Tilmac also have some presence. Actor who plays the three sons has no talent what so ever.

    One of the best Turkish comedy movies

    It is an absurd comedy of Turkish history. It is written very clevery. For foreigners , it can be hard to understand some of the inside jokes about turkish culture. But I think lots of people loves this movie and watched it many times. I hope rating of it gets higher .
