Say what you want, but you can't deny that the people who made this movie seemed to have a huge love for movies. It might look silly, but when you see _how_ this movie was made, I'd say this is real dedication.

RIP Cüneyt Arkın. If you had only made THIS film, you would be a cult figure. But you are a cult figure for a lifetime of classic movies. I haven't seen any one of your films other than this, but you are definitely unique. You will be missed.

The plot is actually pretty exciting thing is that the way it was executed could've been let's say "better"

This film is always a good laugh material for Turkish people. But now thinking about it, George Lucas got laughed at when trying to publish Star Wars. He was faced with many difficulties as well and forced to use somewhat different and unique techniques to overcome them. Even though the cheap solutions and stolen content of Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam, I like how the story of these two films are alike.

This video made me realise how intellectual some people are, even knowing about the "Son of the Man Who Saved The World" attempt at cashing in on GORA's success. This video is researched far better than it needs be. Great job.

Cuneyt Arkin just passed away two days ago. He was a great actor . his other movies are so good. He was very handsome when he was young. And what I heard it that he was not very happy at the beginning when the movie became cult favorite years after. I guess he later on enjoyed it.

I'll never forget the day I found out about Turkish Star Wars from SomethingAwful. Great review.

Ah the film that started the Turkish film legend, or legend about Turkish films maybe? At any rate, it seems to be the first Turkish film most people hear about.

Okay now that was a great video. You did your research well sir!

Thank you for getting out this information on the production of the movie, I had never before heard that the reason they stole Star Wars footage was because their own starship sets were destroyed, this changes everything and makes the production far less shady then it actually was. (I mean, it's still stolen footage, but at least they tried first!) One thing however, you state that the movie made money, but everything else I've seen, including an interview with Cunyet Arkin says that the production bankrupted the studio, as it didn't come close to making enough money. In his own words they "saved the world but lost the producer."

I wonder if Çetin İnanç has ever considered an animated remake of his movie. If he were to partner with the right companies, he would probably be able to produce his original vision. Also, I wonder if this channel will cover the dozens of Star Wars knockoffs that have been made in the future.

This is way too quality channel for 3k subs. I am amazed that you still continue to make good videos. And thank you for making a serious video on this subject. It is a shame we don't have any photos of that set. And it is a shame that we don't have an extended edition and some director's cut and another version with alternate ending. But really, that would be great to see uncut version.

I dont know about independent movie makers but you can bet there aint gonna be movies like these anymore.

I seriously can't believe Cuneyt Arkin, thr man who has quite good performances and really good work in his career agreed for this film. Seriously, the man who had Alin Yazisi on his belt shouldn't have agreed to this. He had a lot of ridicilous action movies. But they were intentionally comical and weren't really serious. Besides, Arkin performed all his own stunts, considering he jumps from a running horse to aother horse, manages to do acrobatics on horseback, does flicks and all, they were still somewhat respectable. But this movie is just ridicilous, even for that era of turkish cinema

Worthy of mention that Turkish Star Wars having shots from 1962 Sodom and Gomorrah essentially means that if this movie is now transferred to HD, it means that the only instance of Sodom and Gomorrah ever being remotely close to HD is in this as of now it doesn't even have a proper uncut DVD release, let alone restored.

Is this the same Neon Harbor that I read about somewhere that is trying to clean up the original movie to HD quality on Bluray after finding the original prints? That would be awesome. Also, there are two variations of this movie, they have two different translations for each. One is a more proper English translation and easier to read while the other is a much more literal translation, making the movie a bit more difficult to understand. They also have two different opening title/cast text crawls which differ by nearly 50 seconds. I've been compiling a huge list of Star Wars rip-offs, inspirations, homages (etc) and I have so far found both versions of this one movie :D

@NeonHarbor

Same Neon Harbor! Yep; two versions. The more common one is the "studio archive" version. It's been cut down a little (possibly censorship) and has some weird errors - pieces of a scene stuck oddly at the end, and a long stretch where the audio is very out of sync. This version was probably transferred to Betacam many years after it was originally released. The other version is from the Çekelez Video release. It is much more complete, and the color is better. Probably because the transfer was done shortly after the film was made. However, as it's from VHS/Betamax, the fidelity is lower.

I would like to think that if it the changes were due to censorship that there is a certain irony because of the copyright violations of footage and soundtracks that were lifted in order to make it in the first place. Not quite the same thing, but an interesting parallel.
