Turkish Star wars is not Turkish Star wars. The real title of the movie is The man who saved the world. It gets the nickname Turkish Star Wars because it takes clips from Star Wars and uses them in the movie. The movie also uses music from the movie Indiana Jones and stock footage of NASA rocket launches. It was originally released in 1982 and has amassed a huge underground following complete with a myspace fan page. Due to the cheesy effects and almost impossible to follow plot line. There is a lot of talk about the effects the clips from star wars. One thing that really struck me was the influence of Hong Kong action cinema. The kung fu fighting style camera angles and movements i.e. the jumps, rolls, and summersaults. For me that was a big bonus.
In 2006 Turkish Star Wars 2 or, The son of the man who saved the world was released this did not contain any clips from George Lucas Star Wars. You are guaranteed plenty of cheep special effects and true B grade movie making.
In America the B movie has gone the way of the Dodo bird. Not to say We don’t put of plenty of crap. You just don’t find Ed Wood quality crap that I enjoy.
[note] I used wikipida for the Ed Wood Jr. link. I told my self I would never use wikipida for a source because as general rule I think it is weak, lame, useless, and inaccurate. I still feel that way. It did have the best page on Ed Wood Jr. I could fined. Some how to me that just seams fitting.
This clip contains every thing that makes this move so damn cool.
Here is the trailer for part 2.
