Ghawar The Football Player
1973, Arabic. Directed by Hulki Saner.
This vehicle for Syrian comedian Duraid Lahham offers the most risqué mad scientist subplot to be found in any of these Lebanese films, thanks to his character visiting the inventor of the Sexatron, a machine whose precise practical purpose remains sketchy, although the method for causing it to blow up is outlined clearly enough in the screencaps below. This sequence evidently tested the censor's limits and contains three splices in the Lebanese version of the movie; it may well have escaped uncut in the Turkish edit of the film.
