One of the few sci-fi films to come out of Turkey, and it's a doozy. With a budget of about 50 cents (even though the the main actor can afford a Rolex), this laughably bad flick set in the 15th century sports public-transport buses in the background, stolen scenes and soundtrack songs from Star Wars, Indiana Jones and others. Lead actor Cuneyt Arkin was a heartthrob in those days, though, so some members of the audience will have something to look at while they crack up.

There are plenty of Turkish versions of sci-fi classics out there. My favourite has to be the Turkish Star Trek, which is a well-known cult film and should be relatively easy to find. I got the Turkish Star Wars off of Bittorrent some months ago. It shows up pretty frequently, so just do a search and save the 20 bucks. They do a nice job of editing out all the scenes with the original main characters, maintaining most of the fight sequences and splicing it together with Turkish characters and a new story line. It's so crazy it's almost post-modern.
