Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam A.K.A. Tirkish Star Wars

[Ed, Ego and Superego]

While looking up something else (the Disosauroids of Dale Russell) I came across this:
http://www.nemoramjet.com/tswstory.html

Its a Turkish movie that wholesale "borrowed" scenes from Star Wars.  heres some more background:

Anyone seen this?  Also check out the link to "Films COnsidered the Worst Ever" at the end.  I think theres too much focus on moden bad film,s and not TRULY bad films in that list.

I have seen this one....Definitely a skull......It made zero sense to me.....other than laughing at the horrible costumes it wasn't worth my time.....

This is the worst film I've ever seen and, in my opinion, is probably the worst (critically speaking) ever made. 

I love it.

I'm hopelessly in love with Turkish ripoffs.  Turkish Star Wars is definitely among the worst of them, but it's worth it to find the others because they're all about as insane as this one.  Turkish Wizard of Oz, Turkish ET (where Turkish ET kills Turkish Elliot's Turkish Dad), Turkish Star Trek, Turkish Superman and Turkish Exorcist.  I'm also sitting on a copy of Turkish Last House on the Left which I haven't watched yet but promises to be extremely violent.  We'll see about that.

There is also 3 Dev Adam which is one of the craziest movies ever made.  Ever.  Seriously.  No hyperbole to be found here.

Better known as Turkish Spider Man, Spider Man is an overweight villain iwht huge bushy eyebrows that poke out of his mask facing off against Turkish Captain America and Turkish El Santo.  No word of a lie.  It is insane.

I think I've seen a bit of that where Spider-man is torturing or killing someone with a device that utilizes a tube and a rat.

Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam is The Movie.  I doubt I'll ever see a greater movie as long as I live.

If anyone wants to see this, its on google video in all of its glory. They also used to have the Turkish Star Trek, but I believe that was deleted.

WOw, they  put a lot of effort into that huh?  Star trek as done by the greater Istanbul amateur acting society.  I guesss Turkish cinema/TV is a definetly underplumbed resource.  Thanks all!

I have the Turkish Star Wars. Didn't much care for it due to my ignorance of the language. If it had subtitles I may have enjoyed the wonderous cheese on display

Turkish Captain America? Ha ha ha! What, they didn't even bother to change the flag? Or was he actually supposed to be Captain Turkey or something?

I remember back when I first took up reading comic books, before I knew that comic book superhero types are actually a mostly American tradition, I once discussed what kind of "superhero" the other countries of the world would have in their comic books. Since Saddam Hussein was still in power over in Iraq, I imagined comic books in his country would probably feature Captain Iraq, a guy going around flinging a razor-sharp Islamic shield at villainous caricatures of American Air Force pilots and regularly brainwashing kids to be his suicide bomber sidekick for, you know, one episode at least.

So far as I know, the Iraqis have never had domestically produced comics, so I guess we'll never know what kind of superhero they'd have, but I'll bet the Japanese had some equivalent mascot or other for their country in their own manga during World War II.

No you wouldn't have.  Trust me on that.  I have a subbed copy and it makes about as much sense as the movie without the subtitles.  A lot of the dialog consists of:

Good guy: I am the strongest fighter from Earth!
Bad guy: I will destroy you!
Good guy: No you won't!  I am the best!
Bad guy: When I am finished with you, I will destroy all of Turkey!
Good guy: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Indeed, the subtitles I've found are so poorly translated that they leave the film to be just as incomprehensible as it would have been without them - they also provide some amusement though. . .  For instance, who could forget this classic line:

"I am afraid they are taking us to a place where they put us into eternal sleep without lullaby."

I have a subtitled version of Seytan (Turkish Exorcist) that was fansubbed.  At around the halfway point, the subtitles begin bagging on the movie.  It's beautiful.

Ah, Turkish Star Wars.

I don't even think the porta-potties at the state fair are that crappy.
