Karate Girl (1974)

aka Kareteci Kiz, aka Golden Girl

How bad is it? Well, for one thing, it's not a karate film.
Should you see it? Sure. It has enough to make for a worthy rental.

Not who you expect as a Turkish bad-ass!
This is a Turkish version of Ms. 45 (Angel of Vengeance), about a mute girl who gets raped and then seeks revenge. The crime causes her to gain her voice! Then she becomes an expert, not only in martial arts, but in the use of handguns. The movie has way more plot than you'd expect, or than I'm willing to discuss here, but it's a revenge fantasy exploitationer with an attractive lead and, in my humble opinion, the best of the Turkish rip-off films.
