Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam (English: The Man Who Saves The World), a.k.a. the "Turkish Star Wars," was meant to be a serious sci-fi film, but it's not.
The acting, fighting, and scenes in this movie are so bad, but so funny. It's hilarious. It even blatantly rips off scenes from Star Wars (frequently), and music from Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark (even more frequently), as well as other films! :laugh4:

Here's a subtitled version of this cult film:

I think this is the best cult film ever. This may not be a good sci-fi, but it's a hilarious comedy! :laugh4:

If you watched the whole movie, what did you think of it?

Skipped to end, nothing better than watching a convicted sex offender dressed up like Luke bet up a dude in a robot outift/

I'm amazed to see you outsiders here have discovered it so late.

We hear a lot that this production was being studied at some academies as to teach how not to shoot a movie.

Also the lead actor, a phenomenon, Cüneyt Arkın had said that they as the whole set crew used to sew monster costumes during breaks.

Anyway, one of my favorite moments in the movie is where excerpts from a spaceship fight in Star Wars take place. Our pilots used to inform their colleagues about changing their altitude and you could see the actor bowing down, moving off the camera coverage.

I could only endure 9 minutes of it before my brain melted into goo.

[Fragony]

Turks, I am starting to like them.

[Lemur]

Yah, I heard about this film when the Internets were young. An oldie, but a goodie, and it's nice to see the full film with subtitles available for free.

Seen the final 10 minute action sequence years ago. Now I get to see all that lovely dialogue :laugh4: The monster costumes are pure gold, especially the red furry ones and the robots.

Wasn't there a "Turkish Star Trek" as well, or is this the same thing?

No, that's "Turist Ömer Uzayda" which was the furthest point of Turist Ömer series.

The spaceship had a disguised alien on board that could suck all salt from its victims. The poor victims used to be left dead with circles on their skin that looked to be made by a boardmarker.

Also the "beam-up" effect was epic. Probably somebody scratched every frame on the film roll to make it look like some kind of effect.
