The material from Star Wars: Episódio IV - Uma Nova Esperança (1977) was spliced in from an anamorphic print, while this movie was shot in academy format, which put the Star Wars footage in the wrong aspect ratio. The Death Star looks more like a Death Egg.
Çetin Inanç decided to incorporate pirated footage from Star Wars: Episódio IV - Uma Nova Esperança (1977) after a storm destroyed the elaborate spaceship sets built on a Turkish beach. The studio refused to pay for reconstruction, and didn't want to delay the film's release. Instead of trying to create all-new space battle footage, Inanç bribed the night watchman at a Turkish film distributor to let him borrow a Star Wars print, then hastily copied it overnight.
The movie also includes soundtracks from Os Caçadores da Arca Perdida (1981) (throughout the film), 007 Contra o Foguete da Morte (1979), Flash Gordon (1980), Ben-Hur (1959), O Planeta dos Macacos (1968), and O Buraco Negro (1979).
At the time, Turkish films ran about 75 minutes. The studio thought this film's 2-1/2 hour run time would hurt sales, so they cut about an hour of material. That explains the film's disjointed, frenetic pacing, its emphasis on action, and its lack of on-screen plot exposition, with major plot points explained in voiceover. The production team also decided to market the film primarily to older children, who eagerly embraced it.
The Wizard's wife's transformation into an old hag and a spider, the swirling yellow vortex that turns men into burnt, shambling zombies, and a character turning into a hairy ogre are all taken from As Sete Maldições de Lodac (1962).
