Even though it was plain to see, Kilink (Yildirim Gencer) obviously did
not die at the end of Kilink vs
Superman (though no explanation is given on how he has survived
the fall from a high-rise building at the end of the former film, a scene
which also starts this film).
Soon enogh, Kilink breaks free his girlfriend Suzy and the two of them
go to New York, where Kilink infiltrates a gang of gangsters led by Kerim,
who want to steal a microfilm containing the Turkish defense plans.
Back in Turkey, Kilink not only kills his way through Kerim's
organisation, but also fights a rival gang led by Yousuf, and then there's
of course the Patagonian embassy, where the microfilm is said to be hidden
... So Kilink soon enough hooks up with Zale - Kilink seems to be
irresistible to the ladies -, somehow forces her to give him the
microfilm, then kills her and transfers the content of the microfilm onto
her dead body.
Meanwhile though, Kerim's gang have captured Kilink's girlfriend Suzy
and threaten her life if Kilink doewsn't hand over the microfilm. Only,
they send their operator Selma, and Selma has bigger plans, soon hooks up
with Kilink and somehow (unvoluntarily) even helps him to break free Suzy.
But after Kilink and Selma have dug up Zale's body, it culminates in a
shoot-out with Kerim and his men, but of course Kilink manages to kill
them all, just before the police arrives, and when Selma suddenly turns
against him and wants to reap all the rewards herself, she just plainly
shoots herself with a gun with reversed barrel ...
Then it's time for Kilink to get even with Yousuf, which would be easy
since Yousuf has gotten greedy and also tries to steal a gold shipment
from the Turkish gouvernment ... and Kilink just disguises himself of one
of Yousuf's chief operators in this matter to gain access to Yousuf's
hide-out, then he kills everyone in his way, including Yousuf himself.
Soon enough though, the Turkish police hunt Kilink down and arrest him
and Suzy ... and Kilink freely gives himself, the microfilm and the gold
up, full of praise for the Turkish police that accomplished what the FBI
and Interpol could not - arrest him.
So, is Kilink a patriot after all ?
(Curiously enough, the answer is yes.)
Even though I fully enjoyed the somewhat childish superheroic
shenanigans of the first two Kilink-movies (Kilink in
Istanbul and Kilink vs
Superman), Kilink Strip and Kill is by far the best of the
bunch, concentrating less on (underbudgeted) special effects and more on
hand-on action scenes and presenting the audience with an ambivalent
(anti)hero instead of the typical hero/villain-dichotomy - it might be a
bit hard to swallow though that this always masked man is such a chicks'
magnet, but that's besides the point, in all Kilink Strip and Kill
is good, slightly campy action entertainment, once more reminiscent of the
old American serials, that never aspires to be anything more than it is,
but achieves its goal to be one fun ride admirably.
