Funny and entertaining.

I watched this movie a lot on TV when I was a kid.

It's still a good movie. If Kemal Sunal is in the movie, I'm in.

Plot and comments

[Ulamax · 8 March 2007]

This movie has also a sequel named "Köyden indim Sehire" (I went to the city from the country) Salak milyoner (Stupid Millionaire) is about four brothers from the countryside inheriting a treasure map from their fathers, going to Istanbul to search for the treasure. They go to an used books shop owner, whom is their father's friend from the army and also his partner in the treasure digging days, for help. This guy also has a mentally challenged wife who thinks that there's a vast treasure just underneath their house. Anyway,they search the treasure all over the urban Istanbul area, which causes trouble to them and makes them wind up in the police station (the same old officer) Suddenly their reach based on the assumptions make them end up in the very house they are staying at. They search under the house, causing the whole house to collapse...and they finally find the treasure.....in the most unexpected place.

Overall the movie mostly can be understood by a Turkish audience with one liner gags, and local accent/naive country hick type of comedy. However bizarre situations our protagonists encounter might have been fun. If you like this movie, you'll love the sequel.

Mr. Kemal SUNAL

I love him to death... He was the greatest man I had ever seen on TV... He passed away so early... God Bless Him... Here is a short Biography of him...Born in 1944 Istanbul, Turkey. Graduated from Vefa High School, Faith, Istanbul. Sunal acted in many popular films, although he began his artistic career in the theater. His first play was called, "Unwilling Doctor" and he later worked at the Devekusu Kabare Theatre with Ulvi Uraz. Although Sunal had minor roles at first, after 1973 he was highly acclaimed for his roles in movies with large casts. He won the Antalya Film Festival's Golden Orange Award in 1977. He contributed greatly to Turkish cinema with his successful acting, including his roles in such movies as "Hababam Sinifi" (Outrageous Class), "Kapicilar Krali" (King of Janitors), "Salako" (Moron), "Inek Saban" (Shaban the Cow) and "Davaro". Sunal's latest role was in Sinan Cetin's border comedy "Propaganda"(1999).
