Summaries

Katkout is the saeedi (southern Egyptian) version of El-Limby with a much lower IQ. The film starts with Katkout preparing to be killed by another family in Upper Egypt for some absurd, unclear reason that neither Katkout nor the audience can fully comprehend. Later on, he is rescued by a bunch of cops who transport him to Cairo in order to prepare him for a mission involving national security. It turns out that Katkout possesses an uncanny physical resemblance to a terrorist named Youssef Khoury who was preparing for a terrorist attack before he was haunted down by our always dependable police forces. After being set up for the assignment, we learn that a crooked terrorist organization, of unidentifiable nationality, is preparing to bomb Egypt's subway—Ahmed Rahmy
