First installment: Turkish Star Wars (Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam)
Principal cast: Did you seriously think you will have heard of anyone in this thing?
The Gist: Some men have to ward off horseback riding skeletons and giant Red Cookie Monsters while Star Wars clips and Indiana Jones music plays behind them on a projector
Year: 1982
Who's Responsible: Turkey
MPAA Rating: I don't think Turkey has a rating system; it'd probably be PG-13
Content: Violence, to some extent
Run time: 90 min
Suggested drinking game: Drink every time 1. footage or music is stolen from an American production 2. there is an error in the subtitles 3. there is a karate chop 4. a punch or kick misses 5. there is a laser beam 6. there is an annoying sound 7. there is a jump cut 8. the Red Cookie Monsters are on screen 9. a household product is used different than its purpose
Suggested drink/snack: Tacos with ground turkey, or Star Wars fruit snacks
Why you should watch it: Your mind will be blown. It is astounding how blatantly this film steals from Star Wars and Indiana Jones. We know their budget was non-existent, but I've seen several student films far better than this.
Why you might want to avoid it: There are these random yellow swirls on the screen that come out of nowhere along with intermittent high pitched wails. If you get dizzy or nauseous easily, these "techniques" might do you in.
Overall Bad Movie Night rating: A
Though there is some mind-numbingly awful screen time and the entire thing is incoherent, this low budget failure is fun to laugh at.
