5 – Badi
- Damn it Turkey didn’t you learn your lesson with Rambo? Obviously not because there are still two more Turkish films on the list. Badi is the Turkish equivalent to E.T.
- Except instead of being cute and funny, Badi is terrifyingly ugly and annoying! Look at this things face, no child is going to want that eating their Reece’s Pieces let alone helping it find its way home.
- But if you thought that E.T. needed a dream sequence where the alien dances with the kids in their school classroom then Badi is the movie for you!
4 – God, You are great! ,
- This Bollywood take on Bruce Almighty dares to ask the question “Would you like to see an Indian version of a Jim Carrey movie but with more dancing and singing?”
- The answer to that is probably no unless you are some sort of masochist who just likes to be tortured by having your eyes bleed upon watching crappy movies. Strongly borrowing the concept of Bruce Almighty, the film puts a very big Bollywood spin on creating something that is not funny or entertaining to watch.
- While Bollywood rip off films have higher production values than say Turkish knock offs it doesn’t help in making them any more painless to watch. This one you should see at your own peril.
3 – Omer the Tourist in Star Trek,
- While not technically a knock off of a movie, this film still makes the cut for being god awful and dumb as hell.
- This is Turkish Star Trek, which means it’s an exact copy of the 60’s episode ‘The Man Trap’ which is about a salt vampire plaguing the ship. But by exact I mean adds in the extra character Omer who is a tramp having shenanigans all over the ship while the salt creature kills people.
- The film actually does a really good job at replicating Star Trek on what I assume is a smaller budget than the TV show had but it’s no substitute and the stuff with Omer the Turkish hobo is pretty goddamn terrible. This is one no one should be beaming up.
2 – The Dragon Lives Again,
- Want to see Bruce Lee fight Popeye, James Bond, Dracula, Clint Eastwood and The Godfather? Well then you probably have already see this movie then.
- Made after Bruce Lee’s death, this was one of the many films trying to cash in on his name by having an actor with a similar sounding name and using that to con people into seeing the film. This one however uses the name Bruce Leong who dies and goes to hell where he fights a number of fictional characters.
- This pure crazy and is either really really dumb or really really awesome, we can’t decide. Oh and the film also makes many joke about Bruce’s big dragon….
1 – Turkish Star Wars,
- Well Turkey you have done it again. Starring the same actor from Turkish First Blood, Turkish Star Wars or The Man Who Saves the World has nothing to do with Star Wars other than it uses footage from the film as cut aways.
- Perfect guys just create some Z-Movie sci-fi film and insert shots of the Death Star and AMAZING a perfect copy of Star Wars. Oh and instead of Darth Vader insert an evil space wizard…wait that kinda is Star Wars….
- Turkish Star Wars has grown a so bad its good cult following over the internet age and it does have some campy and funny moments throughout but that doesn’t save it from being a dumb film.
