Samad in the Way of Dragon | Samad dar rah-e Ejdeha (1977)

Synopsis

This spoof of Kung Fu movies begins with Samad, the obtuse troublesome bumpkin boy, busted for the villagers’ numerous complaints. Handcuffed to a rough drug smuggler, he is driven to the city by Sarkar Ostovar.

They stop at the scene of a girl lying on the road who feigns her distraught and claims to be attacked.



She in fact is the daughter of the man who, under the guise of a karate club, runs a drug dealing gang of which the arrested man is a member.

The girl uses her karate skills to knock the police down, but she and the smuggler can not find the keys for the handcuffs and take Samad with themselves to the city, where they dump him in a theater showing Kung fu flicks.

Immensely impressed by the endless action in the movie, Samad learns some fighting skills by watching it several times in a row.

Back at the village, he begins teaching karate to villagers. Meanwhile Sarkar Ostvar coaxes Samad into going back to the city in order to collect some information for him. — IMDb
