Saban, Son of Saban

About This Movie

So, Saban, Son of Saban is this quirky comedy from 1977 that really nails that offbeat, slapstick vibe. You’ve got these clumsy soldiers, Şaban and Ramazan, who stumble into the world of secret policing while chasing after a singer-dancer—classic setup, right? The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to the charm; it feels like a series of comedic sketches strung together. The performances are earnest, with a particular emphasis on physical comedy that makes you appreciate the practical effects of the time. It's that kind of film where the absurdity of the plot just kind of washes over you, creating a light-hearted atmosphere that’s hard not to enjoy.

Saban, Son of Saban has had a somewhat limited release history, primarily known on VHS and a few DVD editions. This makes it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors, especially considering its blend of humor and absurdity. The scarcity of physical formats can elevate its interest, particularly for those who appreciate offbeat comedies from this era. It tends to attract collectors who are drawn to the unique flair of Turkish cinema and its distinct comedic style.
