Mr. Karate lang ar is a film directed by Mohamed Khan and released in 1993, stars Ahmad Zaki actor Ahmad Zaki as an originally naive out of towner who is brought down by the hardships of life in Cairo . Broke and unemployed, Zaki s character gets a stint as a garage worker before graduating to the more lucrative, albeit less dignified, profession of illicit parking helper monadi . After an acquaintance with a local retired karate instructor played by Ibrahim Nasr , Zaki s character is introduced to the world of martial arts through watching a series of old Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies which at first are picked out by his new friend Nasr s character but which he then picks out himself from a nearby video rental store where his love interest in the movie works played by Nahla Salama . What starts as a childish fascination, becomes with the help of Nasr, a new awakening for Zaki s character, who develops a resolve to become defenseless no more and trains in art of karate. In one of his last interviews if not his last before his untimely death in March 2005, Ahmad Zaki actor Ahmad Zaki said the only thing he regreted about Mr Karate was its title.

In the interview, Zaki said he had hoped for the movie to be called Cairo 90. Soon, Zaki realizes that his newfound karate abilities allows him to help out distressed members in his community, which captures the attention of a local tycoon who in the film remains obscure and whose exact profession whether he is a businessman, member of parliament or even a minister is left to the viewers imagination . At the time of its release, the film received mixed reviews, but it did solidify ...
