381. Turkish Star Wars (1982) — Torture Cinema #102
Magic metallic fists, human brain power, and flying Turks, oh my! Shaun Duke and Jen Zink tag team on the strangest and most incoherent Torture Cinema film we’ve ever covered: Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (a.k.a. The Man Who Saved the World or Turkish Star Wars). From the film’s incredibly dense and incoherent plot to its obsession with extra long, kung fu-inspired fights to its blatant theft from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Flash Gordon, and more, Shaun and Jen have their hands full trying to make sense of this monstrosity. You’ll have to listen to find out if they enjoyed it!
Also: this episode marks the official return of skits and some of your favorite characters. More to come. We promise!
We hope you enjoy the episode!
