Before the infamous Turkish Star Wars – there was The Sword and the Claw! American Genre Film Archive’s latest 4K preservation from the only 35mm theatrical print in existence is a wild ride through that same hallucinogenic netherworld, and features genre legend Cünyet Arkin in his most iconic role. This is Conan the Barbarian meets The Three Stooges meets Dolemite – with more lo-fi bloodshed, pop-art visuals and lunatic dubbing than the boundaries of reality can handle.
