Best movie ever!

Beautiful, moving film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

"Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam", otherwise known as "Turkish Star Wars" is a complete ripoff of the American classic but it is so amateurishly made and stupid that the audience for it is limited mostly for groups of drunk friends to watch it and make fun of the dopey production. The entire first portion is taken right from "Star Wars" and features a couple Turkish actors sitting in front on a screen where the film is being projected and then pretending they are piloting a space craft! This looks stupid but the images behind them are so random and it comes off as one of the cheapest and crappiest segments in film history...though blatantly ripping off American films was very popular in Turkey at the time--with copyright infringing versions of Captain America, Spiderman and many others from the 70s and 80s. Could this portion of the movie get any worse...yes, when the Indiana Jones theme begins blaring periodically.Eventually and with no real explanation, our two Turkish intergalactic heroes now find themselves on a desert planet. There they encounter some of the crappiest robots in film history and the film becomes rather campy and dull....but at least it's not using film footage from "Star Wars"! Overall, this is a dull mess of a film featuring karate kicking heroes and dopey villains and it's sure to bore most anyone watching. If you are curious and want to see it anyway, it's available on YouTube with English subtitles. I doubt if anyone will press the issue as to whether or not this is a case of copyright infringement! By the way, this film is brought to us by Kunt Pictures...I kid you not.

I'd known about this film for years, but today I finally got to watch it today.There was a bit, early on, which I thought almost made sense... then I watched that bit again, and it didn't.ALL the space footage is nicked from 'Star Wars', despite nearly all of the film being based on Earth. Or a bit of Earth. That part is unclear. But every now and then they break up the Earth-based ramblings with completely random bits of Tie fighter v X-Wing action.The music is filched from 'Indiana Jones' and 'Flash Gordon', there are many feral orange teddy bears and a lot of trampoline-based assault. And one of the 'dead' children seems to smirking quite a lot for a corpse.Long hand-to-hand combat scenes, involving Krap Fu moves, 'Judo Chop' dismemberment of the aforementioned teddy bears, mummies, nunchuck-wielding Chelsea Pensioners, clunky robots and sundry other characters in papier-maché heads.Continuity cockups a-go-go; I mean, how many times exactly did the Earth get blown up? The same stock footage appearing again and again, especially the X-Wing attack on a Death Star which isn't actually mentioned in the plot. Due to aspect ratio differences between the Turkish film and the stolen George Lucas footage, it's more of a Death Egg.On the upside, the hero has a certain charisma (in the scenes where he isn't bouncing around like a superball, that is).Batcrap crazy. Makes 'Santa Claus conquers the Martians' look like a cinematic masterpiece.

Edward D. Wood Jr., is perhaps the best-known director of grade Z movies. Classics such as PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959) have entered popular folklore as legendarily bad films, which are so terrible in terms of script, filming and performances that they are almost good. But nothing compares to THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD (1982), Cetin Inanc's Yesilcam answer to STAR WARS. Shot on a shoestring budget with sequences deliberately plagiarized from Lucas' film (as well as the theme tune), the film quite simply defies all attempts at logic. The plot - if there is one - is a familiar good vs. evil affair - but the continuity simply doesn't exist. Cuneyt Arkin as the superhero is just wonderful; the way he pirouettes through the air during the fight sequences is breathtaking, almost as if his boots were turbocharged. The dialog - such as it is - gives cliché a good name. But before western audiences sit back and simply laugh derisively at the film, perhaps they should bear in mind that Yesilcam movies operated according to their own dramatic logic very different from what might be expected in Hollywood. Most of them were shot in two or three weeks at most, and depended for much of their success on the pleasures of familiarity: audiences enjoyed seeing mega-stars like Arkin play the same role over and over again, even if he wasn't very good at it. THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD is a very good example of this kind of film; rather like a quota quickie in Hollywood in the 1930s, it was designed to fulfill a need rather than be accepted as "great" art. Whatever its merits or demerits, it's still a really entertaining piece to watch.

This world saving makes Al Adamson and Ed Wood look like choirboys in comparison! And surely this is nothing for squeamish Indiana-Jones or Star-Wars-buffs or even Flash-Gordon-fans. Instead you can expect salvos of unintended laughs, especially because of daring cheekiness concerning copyrights. Therefore "The Man who saves the world" has supposedly never been shown outside Turkey for understandable reasons. "Great" and totally weird costumes as well as unorthodox acrobatics will put you over the edge. Maximum trash galore, but lots of redundant and recurring scenes makes this a total bore after a while. Don't watch this alone or without alcohol!
