Ironic Appreciation of Turkish Star Wars Club
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:41:11 pm »
For those who don't know, "Dünyayı Kurtaram Adam", AKA "The Man Who Saved the World", AKA "Turkish Star Wars", is a 1982 Turkish adventure movie. It is also consistently considered one of the worst movies of all time, not just because it steals large amounts of music and footage from various sources, mainly Star Wars: A New Hope, but also because its story and dialogue (even when translated) makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

But I am founding this forum-based club of people who think this film is so bad it's good, like me. Call me an ironic hipster, but what the hell.

Discuss.

(Here you can watch it, badly subtitled into English, online.)

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

Four minutes in, opening credits comprising at least a minute of that, and I have no idea what's going on (in a good way). It's like they just strung Star Wars clips together and let a different person narrate each segment.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

I watched a little of the beginning and skipped ahead to 34 minutes... What.

I'd say it's so horrendously bad that it's good, at least from a comical standpoint.

To put it simply, Dwarf Fortress is the Black Metal of video games.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Ahh yes, I remember this gem.  Don't think I ever watched it all the way through, but I did certainly enjoy the opening segments and how horrendously bad it all was.  It's rare to come across something as good as mixing the Indiana Jones theme with repeated/mirrored star wars clips and a completely idiotic storyline.

For a quick laugh though, I generally just hop for Turkish Rambo, or even Turkish Matrix.

It's all brilliantly bad stuff.

Wouldn't it be about how Ghandi came to power. Considering it is an Indian movie?

Just sayin' the guy looks like Saddam, not Ghandi.
