Okay, this movie is bad. Before I tell you the name, let me just give you some words to describe it. Five words, actually: piracy, brains, furries, robots, and finally, Kunt. Also the phrase "lemon yellow vortex of doom". This movie is called "Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam" or for us English-speaking types "The Man who Saved the World". It is bad. Allow me to offer a synopsis:
Earth blowed up.
Compressed brains provide shield for Earth (which magically isn't blown up any more).
Dudes in X-wings or possibly TIE fighters getting edited around random places.
They fight furries and obese skeletons and mummies.
There is a laughing, teleporting wizard who looks like the guy from "300".
Cardboard swords, horrible sound effects, and dudes apparently boinging on trampolines.
Random space battles stolen from "Star Wars".
Then they melted a brain and a sword into snazzy bronze gloves, letting the hero get +2 to Badass.
s**t happened.
The end.
Watch this movie. With alcohol. By the time it's done, you won't be able to tell if you're drunk from the movie or the booze.
Are you crazy? This is probably the GREATEST movie ever made. How can anyone not love a movie that ends with the hero in an all-out melee with, literally, every single bad guy who had appeared previously? And -- he KARATE CHOPS the villain IN HALF!
I salute Cuneyt Arkin and the makers of Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam.
Ali: Do you think you are the man who saves the world?
Murat: As much as you think you are a womanizer.
Murat: Begin to your famous whistle which no women can resist.
Ali: [Whistles]
Murat: You whistle it wrong
Ali: Why?
Murat: Skeletons came instead of woman
This is a very interesting flix, it's great, commonly know as 'Turkish Star Wars' they should release it on video or at the very least Super 8 or betamax. It does meet the criteria of a great bad movie.

You can find this in R2 but I'm not sure if there has been a R1 or R0 release.
This is one of those holy grail movies I have to see before I die.
Check out this quote from the user comments on IMDB:
"If a movie is good then its nice to watch it. If a movie is bad then you should not watch it at all. But if a movie is too bad then it makes more fun than a good movie."
That about says it all.
Skeletons can be obese?
I have to see this movie. That's all there is to say after reading all of this: I have to see this movie.
I'm fascinated by how compressed brains can be used to shield the Earth. I mean, I suppose it's theoretically possible, but I don't see it as being terribly practical.
So dare I ask, whats the FIRST worst movie ever made?

I'd love to see a View-Master version, but the 3-D might get tricky.
Yes, Jormungjandr must come back and tell us what he thinks the WORST movie is, if this is only #2 --
Parts of it actually sound like "Starcrash", which, if you haven't seen, do read Andrew's review of on the Review Board --

I own Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam my own self and thoroughly enjoy the insanity of every single frame of it. As a matter of fact, I enjoy it even more than the Turkish version of Star Trek (the Turist Omer thing).
And if anyone can completely appreciate and explain the weirdness/greatness of this movie, it would be board member Tars Tarkas (it's reviewed in detail on their site).
i've got to see this,i NEED to see an obese skeleton!!!

Actually I'll up the ante and proclaim THIS ONE (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/ax-em/default.php) as much worse, by far.
Trust me; I own it.

Just out of curiosity, why is AX 'EM so bad? Is it borring, or is it more of a bad acting and special effects thing?
Everything on this one is bad. Every. Single. Thing.
The provided link above outlines everything that's bad about it succinctly, but just look up "Ax 'Em" on YouTube and see what comes up. It's horrifying.

Actually I used to think the Starwars Holiday special was the worst. But I now believe Turkish Starwars beats it. Everything about TSW is bad, the acting, the effects, the fact they stole their entire soundtrack. But it is so inept and pathetic it's kind of like watching two fat kids have a b***h slap fight (pathetic yet somehow amusing as hell) Whereas the SWHS rather like being forced to watch swap.avi... Please don't look up swap.avi, if you value your eyes.
The real problem with "The worst movie ever" is some movies are bad in certain ways. like Svankmajer's Faust just kind of twists your brain until it hurts yet they are wonderfully executed. Despite the puppet sex.
By any objective measure TSW is the worst movie ever made. Yet it is more fun to watch than SWHS. Having recently re-watched SWHS I must say it is the worst movie to watch, even if the TSW is crappier in every respect.
