Movie · 1986 · 10 people

Korkusuz (Rampage abroad) came from Çetin İnanç, who wrote and directed this 1986 Turkish action film. It mixes adventure and action, has built a cult following over the years and is counted as part of the Turksploitation wave. It is the second of two films by İnanç, the first being Vahşi Kan (Wild Blood, 1983), that are widely nicknamed "Turkish Rambo" because their plots and styles borrow so heavily from George P. Cosmatos's Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985).

The story centres on Serdar, a Turkish commando played by the bodybuilder Serdar Kebapçılar, who is sent to infiltrate and capture a group of terrorists living in the mountains. Osman Betin plays Osman, Hüseyin Peyda is Ziya and Tuğrul Meteer plays Captain Ömer, while Sümer Tilmaç plays both the businessman Sait and Major Fuat. Sami Hazinses, Filiz Taçbaş, Mehmet Samsa, Yılmaz Kurt and Mehmet Uğur are also in the cast, the last three as Ziya's men.

Mehmet Karahafız produced for Anıt Film. The film was shot in colour on 35 mm and runs about 73 minutes. Dinçer Önal was the cinematographer and Necdet Tok the editor. Abdurrahman Palay voices Serdar in the Turkish dub, and an English-dubbed version produced by Ed Glaser was also shown in the United States.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

To an eye raised on Yeşilçam's warm family stories, Korkusuz comes from another world entirely. There is no emotional depth here, no bond with the characters, no melody that stays with you; the film puts everything into action and heroic posing. Still, there is one familiar trace: giving Serdar Kebapçılar the voice of Abdurrahman Palay recalls the dubbing tradition of the old films and carries some of that era's warmth. By the standard of the classics it is a weak film, but as a document of its time it deserves an indulgent look.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

If you want a cult Turkish Rambo, this is the place. Bodybuilder Serdar Kebapçılar's commando goes after the terrorists in the mountains, and the film heads for its target without much dawdling. But know this up front: the fun here comes from the excess itself, not from tension. Anyone expecting a serious action film may be disappointed; it works much better put on with friends in a cult-movie mood.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

There is no discussing Korkusuz without the question of imitation: its plot and style borrow so heavily from Cosmatos's Rambo: First Blood Part II that, together with Vahşi Kan, it is known as the Turkish Rambo. Written and directed by Çetin İnanç, it is a textbook case of the Turksploitation wave; no claim to originality, just a quick local reproduction of its source's impact. Sümer Tilmaç playing both the businessman Sait and Major Fuat is a telling detail about that production logic. As film language it is weak; but the English-dubbed version produced by Ed Glaser and shown in the United States makes plain that the film owes its second life to a cult audience.
