    The worst and the best movie ever at the same time. I couldn't stop laughing, and I think that the fact that I watched it without subtitles helped that.

    It may be corny due to weird costumes, silly acting, and poor picture quality, but I like it: I find Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saves The World as a fun example of Turkish science fiction and film plagiarism. Why? There are clips of Star Wars bootlegged into the filming sequences, thus earning the film its popularly known name, Turkish Star Wars; not to mention it borrows soundtracks from films like Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Flash Gordon. Oddly enough, the desert planet that the heroes landed on reminds me a lot of Tatooine. When TSW was released in 1982, Turkey was in political turmoil and foreign films were not easily acquired and were often remade with a Turkish setting and cast. I know there are plenty of more Turkish versions of American films but this Star Wars-based film is so memorable that I would like to see it again.

    Asl?nda Türk sinemas?n?n ilerlemesi icin her Türk filmini abart?r?m.Ama "Dünyay? Kurtaran Adam"a diyecek yok.1982 y?l?nda yap?lmas?na ra?men bu kadar y?l?n?n gerisinde bir film görmedim.Amerikal?lar?n Gandhi,E.T. gibi filmler yapt?klar? y?l biz bu insana hicbirsey veremeyen filmi...( read more) yapm???m.Asl?nda Cüneyt Ark?n iyi oynam?s ama filmin görsel efekti olmasa daha iyi olurdu.Ben yine filmden sorumlu olan yönetmeni suçlamak istiyorum.

    I have a Turkish version of Wizard of Oz. If this one is half as bizarre as that one, I've GOT to see it.
