"Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam", otherwise known as "Turkish Star Wars" is a complete ripoff of the American classic but it is so amateurishly made and stupid that the audience for it is limited mostly for groups of drunk friends to watch it and make fun of the dopey production. The entire first portion is taken right from "Star Wars" and features a couple Turkish actors sitting in front on a screen where the film is being projected and then pretending they are piloting a space craft! This looks stupid but the images behind them are so random and it comes off as one of the cheapest and crappiest segments in film history...though blatantly ripping off American films was very popular in Turkey at the time--with copyright infringing versions of Captain America, Spiderman and many others from the 70s and 80s. Could this portion of the movie get any worse...yes, when the Indiana Jones theme begins blaring periodically.
Eventually and with no real explanation, our two Turkish intergalactic heroes now find themselves on a desert planet. There they encounter some of the crappiest robots in film history and the film becomes rather campy and dull....but at least it's not using film footage from "Star Wars"! Overall, this is a dull mess of a film featuring karate kicking heroes and dopey villains and it's sure to bore most anyone watching. If you are curious and want to see it anyway, it's available on YouTube with English subtitles. I doubt if anyone will press the issue as to whether or not this is a case of copyright infringement!
By the way, this film is brought to us by Kunt Pictures...I kid you not.
