    Arab Connection

    I've heard a lot about that movie many years ago & i only had the chance to see it a week ago. Frankly i was really surprised and stunned of what i saw.The late Egyptian actress Nahed Sheriff gave it all in the movie with a few full frontal nude sex scenes leaving nothing to the imagination, also the Lebanese actress Silvana Baderkhan had her quite share of nudity as well. I believe the idea from this movie is copying American action movies in a middle eastern way, i give credit to the Lebanese director Sami Koury for convincing his Arab actresses to take it all off (not an easy job ) i dare some of the Hollywood actresses nowadays to do 20 % only of what those actresses did back in the early 70's. Too bad directors don't make movies like that in the Arab world anymore..It was the days before the Egyptian & Arab censorship on the movies..its not a masterpiece but if you like to see an erotic action Arabic movie, Go & see it because it's worth watching.

    This movie is credited for the nude appearance of the beautiful Egyptian actress Nahed Sheriff

    This movie is credited for the nude appearance of the beautiful Egyptian actress Nahed Sheriff, even though the movie does not seem like having a strong plot, but the Lebanese director and producer Samir A. Khoury has overpass all this by exposing his actresses. Starting with Nahed Sheriff who shows it all in this movie, you can see the 3'Bs as well as many full frontal and a sex scene with Ezzat el Alayli (an Egyptian actor). The movie revolves around "anwar", a journalist who has seen so many wars and finally become one of the murderers he used to dislike. Overall the movie is worth watching and why not keeping it in your library as one of the best Arabic erotic movie ever!

    No scenario, no acting but a surprising freedom.

    Ziab la ta'kol al lahem is an awful movie.This is only a superposition of scenes without a clear link.Acting is also very bad, despite the presence of a good actor like Ezzat El allayli. But something is really astonishing in this movie, talking about sexuality, emancipation of women, nude scenes are very rare in Arab cinema,even in this days. I really congratulate the director and the actors for their courage. We want to see more of this style in Egyptian movies, but with better quality. The reasons that led me to vote this film as an awful one are not only scenario and acting, but also the lack of prfessionalism. This movie look like an amateur one.We can see a lot of errors in the screen. If you want a good arab movie Ziab la ta'kol al lahm is not the one recommended.But if you wish to encourage the uncensored movies in all the arab world watch it and make your friends and your family do the same.

    Fierce Egyptian exploitation classic.

    "Wolves Don't Eat Meat" by Samir Khouri was banned in many Arabic countries due to its scenes of bloody violence,gratuitous full-frontal nudity and its political message.The director is from Lebanon and he worked on several movies in Italy including few Sergio Bergonzelli's movies."Wolves Don't Eat Meat" plays like the cross between action flick and erotic drama with some giallo elements thrown in.The cinematography is rough and the action scenes are highly intense.There are car chases,execution style killings,violent shoot-outs and masked killer on wheelchair.The orgy of violence in slaughterhouse has to be seen to be believed.In Arabic movies you can't show any nudity,but "Wolves Don't Eat Meat" contains plenty of naked female flesh.8 wolves out of 10.

    Marhaba! (bravo!)

    Wow! I was very curious to see this Egyptian action/crime thriller from 1973, and boy, was it worth the wait! Similar in a lot of ways to the Italian films of this type, this one features gun fights, car chases, lots of nudity, askew camera angles, lots of hand-held camera work (though more out of budgetary constraints, than any post-modern considerations, ala Michael Bay, Tony Scott, etc), and just plain weirdness. A few scenes are effectively done in the style of giallos, and there's quite a few surprises in the deceptively linear story. Some scenes and effects are laughably inept (like the point blank shooting of a naked woman where the squib turns out to be dry…!?), but the overall package is so deliriously trippy, you hardly mind the flubs. there is even a touch of lesbianism and a (possible) hint of incest in the script, which is familiar in places but accumulates enough elements to appear somewhat unique. But despite the crudeness of style and the sleaze, the film manages to say something meaningful, and end on a poignant note…just when I thought it was going towards a more happy ending. I love this baby, and I want to see more Arabic films like this one (if indeed there are any). apparently the film was later banned in Egypt, but that's all good in my book. Marhaba!
