Turkey and Bad Movie Night got off on a bad foot. I showed Turkish Star Wars right before Thanksgiving (Ha! Get it?) in 2008 and people hated every rock beating part of it.
It started a ban on subtitles that lasted almost a year, when I couldn't stand not showing Duel to the Death any longer.
After four and a half years, however, it's time to not only forgive and forget but to go all in with a whole night of Turkish delights.
Besides, Turkish Star Trek is more like a parody versus Turkish Star Wars' imitation. The real title is Turist Ömer Uzay Yolu'nda and apparently there's a series of "Turist Ömer" films where a man finds himself within a TV show or movie. A tourist if you will. Or as IMDB's complete plot synopsis dismissively describes it, "The Enterprise picks up a Turkish hobo."
Look at this list. I didn't make that list, I didn't discover it until recently and yet it reads like a 'best of' of BMN. Now look for Tarkan and the Blood of the Vikings. It comes just after Lady Terminator and just before Samurai Cop, two top ten best BMN movies ever. Here's what other people are saying:
Film Walrus: "...there was thankfully not enough [budget] to bestow any dignity or artistry upon the proceedings."
1000 Misspent Hours and Counting: "...this movie resembles an army of overgrown kids playing a madly inventive game of dress-up make-believe. Three and a half stars!"
Mmmmmovies: "...it's hard to imagine a more enjoyable bad movie than this one."
Here's what happened last week:
