This was apparently made by some resourceful Trek fans in Turkey around the same time as the Star Trek animated series, during the Trek drought of the seventies between the original series (ended in '69) and the 1st Trek movie in '79. One can look at it as a lost episode of the original series, composed of Trek bloopers, discarded scenes, and an overabundance of the ridiculous. It begins with the standard Trek visuals of the Enterprise zooming about in space, but as if shot thru a red filter, and quite blurry. This also uses the standard Trek background music and FX sounds from the sixties show (the music, however, doesn't always fit the action in the scene). Unfortunately, my version doesn't have an English vocal track or subtitles, but I could figure out within a few minutes that this aimed for a remake/parody of "The Man Trap" episode of the original show, featuring that salt-sucking monster (since that was the first episode of the original series to air, this makes me wonder if they intended to remake later episodes - next would have been "Charlie X"). This comic version also included some androids, including a male model-type dressed only in a loin cloth. Overall, it's an intriguing precursor to other Trek spoofs such as the famous "Saturday Night Live" episode with John Belushi.
About 15 minutes in, the plot abruptly diverts to some Turkish dude from present times suddenly whisked (beamed away) from his low rent (shotgun?) wedding into the Trek adventure, where he interacts with all the main characters - kind of a wish fulfillment dream of all the Turkish fans, I guess. In the meantime, the salt creature takes the identity of several characters, though the way it sucks the salt out is portrayed a bit differently from the original episode. The costuming accurately copies that of the original series, with the same style uniforms. This also reminded me just how sexy those mini-skirted uniforms were on the female crew members - there's a few of 'em here - in one amusing scene where they train their 'phasers' on the visitor. Check out, also, the hairdo emulating the Yeoman Rand character - trippy. The sets also attempt to copy the Enterprise interior, though less successfully; the exteriors in the ruins are better realized. The humor really kicks in during the last half, with the salt creature terrorizing the tourist and other action stuff copying scenes from the "Arena" episode and, even better, the Kirk-Spock fight from "Amok Time." The scenes with the multitude of loin-clothed androids is a bit too bizarre, but the conclusion is appropriately amusing. The whole thing's just over 70 minutes long on my version. Maybe this helped in getting a new Trek series greenlit, then the motion picture, when it was realized that the whole planet was desperate for new Trek.

It's scary to think that this movie is considered by some to be "a masterpiece among Turkish movies"; that says a lot more about the state of Turkish cinema than I'd care to know. But the film, more commonly known as "Turkish Star Trek" in English-speaking countries, is one of the most enjoyable of the many Star Trek spoofs in circulation.
The viewer is treated to an outsider's view of the Star Trek universe, as a Turkish slapstick comedian (Turist Ömer) escapes a shotgun wedding thanks to the timely intervention of the starship Enterprise. Borrowing shamelessly from several classic Star Trek episodes (particularly Star Trek's first broadcast episode "The Man Trap") an ability to speak Turkish is not necessary for Star Trek fans to be able to follow the plot, although it may well baffle non-Trekkies. In fact, picking out the various homages (and deciding which characters are being depicted by the actors) may well be one of the most enjoyable aspects.
Interspersed with the familiar scenes are more bizarre sequences, involving a mad scientist (a dead ringer for Alfred Ryder, who played Dr. Crater in "The Man Trap"), as well robots in loincloths, bikini-clad alien girls, and some of the most hilariously bad pre-digital special effects ever committed to film.
It is probable that the dialog makes some sense of the goings-on, but until a subtitled version emerges (don't hold your breath), you're better off to just sit back with some wise-cracking buddies, pass the Romulan ale, and enjoy the show.

Without a doubt this film is the funniest Turkish film ever made. I wish you guys knew Turkish so you could understand the funniest scenes like Turist Omer breaking down the main computer by asking him silly questions, or getting on Spock's nerves. Many people think this is like "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam (aka Turkish Star Wars)" but it's not. Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam was also OK but it was a ripoff and not intended to be a comedy. "Turist Omer Uzay Yolunda (Turkish Star Trek)" on the other hand is asking the question "what if a Turk was among the crew of Star Trek". Another great thing about the movie is, especially Captain Kirk and Mr Spock look and act exactly like in the TV series, not a single exaggeration. Love this movie. It's the funniest Turkish movie ever made, and Sadri Alisik is the funniest Turkish actor ever lived.
This is a professional made Star Trek imitation with Turkish sense of humor.
Turkish Star Trek ?
In the seventies Marvel comics and Italian comics were very popular in Turkey. Turkish movie producers saw that they could earn some money from this opportunity. They made a lot of quick and low budget comic's movies as superman,zagor,phantom,captan America etc . All these movies had a simple story and bad casting. But this movie is different. First of all the production company was a powerful movie company. They knew what Turkish people liked. They knew that Turkish people like Star Trek. They knew also that Turkish people like Turist Omer character. If they could bring these two items together than the movie would be a great success.
Star Trek was a hit in Turkey. There were nobody on streets when Turkish TV was broadcasting Star Trek.
Turist Omer was a character played by Sadri Alisik. This character made this actor famous. You can compare with Charlie Chaplin.
It was a success. They earned a lot of money and they also sold this movie to foreign countries like Germany (where 3 million Turkish society living). The story is borrowed from an episode of Star Trek. Turist Omer was buzzed from earth to a planet by a mad doctor.
I can recommend this movie to all Star Trek fans and also to everyone who likes cult and foreign movies. If you like this movie try than also Yilmayan Seytan. .

This movie,in my opinion,is even better then "Dünyayý Kurtaran Adam".Every moment of this movie is funny,from begining to the end.Especially the dialog between Ömer and Spock is really fun.Every Star Trek fan should watch this movie,at least just to see the excellent Turkish version of Mr.Spock-KabaKulak!
