"This is the type of bad movie I dearly love, for real. And we don't just one movie right here, we have two. The Sword and the Claw is the highlight, but the korean martial arts flick, The Brawl Busters, is also awesome as hell. Get this one!!"
"Fantastic flick, as ive been digging deeper into turkish cinema this scratches an itch, seeing the lead across other movies gives me such a scale. The plot is so so, the action is good good. Love the bonus movie too!"
"I enjoyed this classic fantasy flick. AGFA continues to bring the good stuff."
"Basically Turkish Sangkuriang. A fun medieval adventure seemingly set in an alternate reality where the Turks are plucky rebels against the Byzantines. The fight choreography and stunts in this are very well done. The bit battle at the end is a delight. The music is so out of place it swings around to being endearing. Loved how brutal some of the kill are: the titular Lion Man is shredding faces all over the place"
"Great"
"He’s the son of Solomon and was raised by lions. The film transfer is as sharp as lion man’s claws. The badly dubbed English, reuse of some fight scenes with surprisingly well choreography and bloody violence adds to the charm of this Turkish B-movie Definitely would recommend The Sword and the claw."
"Forget the plot, it is wacky and fun and plenty of actions! Great restoration and a full movie as an extra, what more can you ask for."
"Great restoration and slipcover of a bizarre gem with insane moments of action. If you like crazy action movies there's no reason to add this one to your collection."
"Oddball import. It's one of those films that It's so bad it's good. I was scratching my head wondering how the cast and crew thought this was going to be good. Looks like something a 10 year old would have made with his Super 8 camera."
"Another wild ride from AGFA. It’s a super cheesy flick that I enjoyed from start to finish. Some excellent special features too. I highly recommend this release."
