“Don’t watch this alone…or sober!” – Warning Label on the Copy at Suspect Video – Queen Street West, Toronto.
I hadn’t seen the warning label before watching this on Friday night, but luckily, with Carrie, Vero and I arriving in Toronto, we were definitely not alone, and definitely not sober while watching this.
What can I say about Turkish Star Wars? If all Turkish films are like this, I’m moving there. The blatant rip-offs of Star Wars special effects, as well as the super-cheese martial arts moves (how the heck does he jump into the air like that? Oh yes…a trampoline!), and characters who have costumes which appear like something out of a bad Hallowe’en party; add to the amazing film which is known in the Western World as Turkish Star Wars.
I was thinking that there would be Star Wars references (read: rip-offs) throughout the entire film. It starts out with footage of all the space battles from Star Wars (aka, the X-Wings fighting the Death Star) for about 10 minutes and then…that’s it. The rest of the movie deals with the two pilots who have crash landed on a planet which somehow looks like Turkey. I’m only guessing at this because I’ve never been to Turkey. But it had deserts. I think Turkey has deserts.
Much hilarity ensues and we had some great laughs at this movie. I would also like to point out that the guy in the movie must be pretty popular because we were watching Lost and Found: Volume 7 the next day and saw some clips of him kicking ass Turkish style in it.

so what language is spoken in this movie?
I would assume Turkish? It was foreign nonetheless. And no subtitles whatsoever. Awesome.
and you sat through the whole thing? wow. talk about patience for the punchline…
It was all about the alcohol and the fact that we were laughing hysterically at every frame of the movie.
I SO want to see this movie. Turkish movies are the best!
I want to see is as well. Next viewing is to be at my place.. 54 inches of turkish delight!

Deal, in a couple of weekends. We could do it at chez Pimpson’s also, then perhaps turn it into a Mario Party???

I watched it sober also, and I had a good laugh.!
