There are a few differances from the book;first of all,Bill never tried to run after going back to the bazzar,after his arrest,second,the film was made in Malta,third,the speach he gave before being sentenced to 30 years,was more of a plea,than an attack on the Turkish people,I could go on,and on......
yea its fucked up that u go to jail in a country that u dont belong. no help from family and friends. no help from u.s government. u will be ALL alone and it will be every man for himself.
I first heard this song as a youth watching WCW Wrestling. The Midniiiiiiiiight Expreeeeeessssss. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Classic Moroder track though.
Hey, this is the theme song for Coast to Coast AM, the radio program started as the "Art Bell Show" from Pahrump Nevada....The Art Bell Theme Song!!!!!!!!!!!
That's correct! I see we have a Coast to Coast AM aficionado here! George Noori is now the main man, and doing a fabulous job of it! I like the people filling in on the nights of Sunday to Monday, especially Raleigh James, i like her a lot! The Chase theme is my favorite of the Midnight Express Album! The movie is incredible, i saw it in 1978 when i was 20!
On 2:17, this guy just looks like Brad Pitt.. sorry its the other way round... Brad Pitt is just a photocopy of this guy... no wonder he got popular !
This movie is one of a kind. One of my favorite movies of all time with one of the most memorable soundtracks of all time. The handsome actor Billy Davis was an heroin addict & contracted hiv & eventually died of Aids in the early 1990s. I always have a special place in my heart for this movie. They don't make movies like this anymore.
Actually, the name of the actor was Brad Davis who also had an acting part in 'The Chariots of Fire' among other movies! Too bad he died so young, at age 41, in 1991! He was born in 1949, but didn't make it to his 42nd birthday! So sad! He was a good actor, and indeed a handsome dude!
Betcha ass its true - "Midnight Express" based on the book by the American student Billy (William) Hayes. He was arrested at Istanbul airport in 71 carrying a few kilos of hash, eventually got 25 years in jail (govt wanted to make an example) but escaped across the Greek border in 10/75.
hash aka hashish. Its resin from marijuana (grass), made into a sticky brown substance. Concentrated and therefore easier to package. And stronger than grass. Its smoked through water pips or crumbled and mixed tobacco and rolled in cig paper.
Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for that video i have been looking for for a long time! The music is astoundingly beautiful! I remember watching that movie in 1978, i was twenty years old, the age of that fool who thought he could smuggle drug out of Turkey! What was he thinking? Great movie! Hauntingly great music! Again, thank you!
fantastico!

I agree with reading the book. If it wasn't for seeing the interview on YouTube, I wouldn't have been motivated to buy the book.

Hollywood is American
So, they make stories from the American point of view
It can be said that there is no other film industry as huge as hollywood and everyone in the world watches hollywood movies
So, I don't see anything wrong
Perhaps, you shoot a film and you can show it from your point of view
