5/10
The work of a mad genius.
15 March 2010
Oh dear, I haven't laughed over a parody like this in a long time. This is how you do it : First, have a ban of Star Wars in early 1980s Turkey. So you decide to make your own version. With some difficulties, obtain copies of Star Wars E4 and 5 from the black market (on a worn out videotape) and cut out all cool space fight scenes from the films. Steal no, BORROW "The Raiders March" from Raiders of the Lost Ark (on a worn out audiotape) and few other musical pieces from classic heroic films. Get two dudes well above their prime for the roles of the saviors of the universe. Hire a curious mute blonde with blue eyes, too big nose and a boy for the role of a curious mute blonde with blue eyes, too big nose and a boy. Make MANY cheap costumes (including a tin variation on Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet) and a fire-resistant wooden super sword. Take all the cast and crew to the desert for a week-or-so long shooting. Combine the footage from the desert with the Star Wars space scenes. Voila - Turkish Star Wars! Wait... it WASN'T a parody??? So bad it's brilliant.

Pros : quite a sophisticated plot for such cheap crap, stupid costumes, curious mute blonde with blue eyes and too big nose (and a boy, if you like...), everything else

Cons : very low budget, too long to be less funny in the second half, everything else
