"Dünyayi kurtaran adam" [fr="Turkish Star Wars / L'Homme qui sauva le monde"] ~ 1/10

This crap might well be the best example of what turkish cinema could produce of worst in the eighties, stealing Hollywood's successes and replacing the north-american propaganda by turkish themes and characters.
Cüneyt Arkin (unrelated to Alan Arkin, nor to Alain Delon) was the biggest star in Turkey, back in those times where kicking some red stuffed giant monster asses, making toilet-paper mummies, or shooting hand-drawn-directly-over-the-film-stock laser beams wasn't that much ridiculous.

Note that this awful 1982 movie, though being one of the worst thing one could possibly watch in a movie theatre (which I actually did, for the fourth time I've been watching this crap, and in France's best movie theatre, MK2 Bibliothèque, s'il vous plaît !), still has many funny things, funny exactly because they weren't intended to be funny, and are most often very mistakenly brought to screen (bad actors, wrong subjects, no story, ridiculous fights, ridiculous -falsely- muslim propaganda, use of "Moonraker", "The Black Hole" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" 's main themes over "Star Wars" 's stock shots, incoherence between the foreground turkish actors and the background stock shots, or even hand-drawn AND hand-moved opening credits...).
But the worst of all isn't part of this film itself ! It's that it had a sequel 24 years later, which was really worse (a tasteless "navet" -literally, turnip- as we call it in french), because this time it was intended to be a funny parody of the first opus, and thus had completely missed the point of what shall be funny in a "cult bad movie" ("nanar", in french) - hence not being part of the latter category...

Although normal movie-goers wouldn't see such a bad movie very often, this one truly deserves to be watched at least once (it's funny enough not to kill yourself immediately, but I admit that watching only excerpt may suffice), as an introduction to the great world of "nanar" (as we in France call any ridiculously funny bad movie). Trust me (for those who might think they knew what cult bad movies are), even "Plan 9 from outer space" was better !
Anyway, I've seen "Turkish Star Wars" 4 times, and am still alive... But I've seen worse (like for instance : the sequel, and of course the legendary worst film of all times, "Manos, the Hands of Fate").
