DKAO - Türken im Weltall

Every major cult film fan has watched "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam" (Man who saves the world) aka Turkish Star Wars. Quarter a century after that was released ,we get a sequel -"Dunyayi Kurtaran Adamin oglu" (Son of the man who saves the world). While the original was meant to be a serious science fiction adventure, this one attempts to be a parody of the old film and various other science fiction films in the vein of G.O.R.A. Needless to say, the result is cinematic sewage.

The film is a basically a serious of gags , none of which are close to being remotely funny. The acting is even worse. Erbil has already sealed his spot in the acting hall of shame with the lame shrek-wannabe Keloglan (he was even worse than Petek Dincoz, which should tell you how amazingly bad he was). Cuneyt Arkin seems to be sleepwalking. Sinem Kobal who is one of the most promising young Turkish actresses working today, would want to erase this off her resume for her career's sake.

The sad news is that this film actually did well at the box office, so we will soon be hit with the inevitable sequel. Let's hope that it completely flops so that the public is spared from another 2 hours of garbage.

I have a strange obsession....to be able to see all the films on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 list. The problem with some of them, however, is that they aren't all translated into English...so I really cannot review them. However, in the case of "Turks in Space" I did something unusual...I watched the film in its original Turkish language. While this might sound stupid, believe me, with some Turkish movies, they are so bad and so poorly made that you really don't need to know the language...just sit back and enjoy the mess! And what a mess this was, with horrible special effects, terrible acting and an overall look that is WORSE than a homemade film posted on YouTube. Inept in every possible way...and unintentionally funny. I say look for this title...you'll enjoy it regardless of the language barrier.

For Keloglan Kara Prens'e Karsi, I thought that, this movie is the worst movie ever made and in my whole life, I won't be able to see another one this bad. But now I understand, I was totally wrong. "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adamin Oglu" is much more successful in being a bad movie than Keloglan Kara Prens'e Karsi. Now I think, as long as the Turkish film producers continue to make movies, I'll continue to see unbelievably bad movies. The money, which I gave for this film was not much, but I feel sorry for my 2 hours spent for nothing. Yes, this movie is nothing. Please take my recommendation: Even if someone gives you money to watch this movie, don't even think about it. I can tell you numerous reasons about why I like a movie. But for this one, there's simply nothing to say. It was supposed to be a comedy film, but I didn't even smile!! Come on guys, is the script writer an 8 year old boy or what? What were you thinking? The original cult film "The man who saves the world" was also a bad movie but at least it was funny, not boring. There were scenes, which one wants to see. But for this, there's nothing to say. I assume that, this film is a bad joke for Turkish people.

I tried to watch this film, I really did - I happened to be at someone's home and their young nephew had brought this movie to keep himself entertained. In goes the DVD, and there upon the TV screen I see Mehmet Ali Erbil prancing around in all his glory. The movie banks heavily on Mr. Erbil's "irresistible" charm - To say that the filmmakers overestimated Erbil's abilities is the understatement of the decade.

Basically, the film is a campy 'remake' of Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (AKA: "Turkish Star Wars"; Semi-literal translation "The Man Who Saved the World" ) that retains none of the original film's crude charm. This movie is just so poorly constructed it isn't even as unintentionally funny as the original - There is simply no way to excuse the people behind this film for being so lazy and crass.

However, I don't think it deserves to be in the Bottom 100 - It's a trashy movie, there is no sense in debating that point, but there are many other titles more deserving of such an 'honor' both within and outside of the world of Turkish cinema. Seriously, some of the sleazy movies that come on late at night make this movie look like a Shakespearean classic on film.

This is type of film that will act as late night filler for years to come in Turkey, but it's hardly the worst thing out there. I do not recommend this movie to anyone other than rabid Mehmet Ali Erbil fans and people who have their heart set on seeing what all the fuss is about.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen and even though I'm not an expert, I know one or two things about movies. The only reason this movies exists is because the producers wanted to get their share after the first movie; infamous ''Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (1982)'' became a cult classic.

The acting is terrible, the dialogues are mindless and It doesn't even have a proper storyline. This is my first review (as the lazy person I am) I never wrote anything on this site before but since the first movie is a cult classic and its coming from my country, I just wanted to warn you people who might think ''well the first one was really interesting and grotesque, maybe this one is good too.''

Its not, and If you are interested in Turkish movies, I recommend Nuri Bilge Ceylan's movies. I wish you a happy day.
