What happens

3 Dev Adam (Üç Dev Adam, translated as 3 Giant Men, which is sometimes referred to as Captain America And Santo Vs. Spider-Man and which is also sometimes referred to as Turkish Spider-Man) is a 1973 Turkish superhero film directed by T. Fikret Uçak and written by Doğan Tamer, based on characters created by Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Joe Simon and Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, featuring Aytekin Akkaya as Captain America and Yavuz Selekman as El Santo. Captain America and El Santo are called to Istanbul on a special mission to stop the villainous Spider-Man and the rest of his vicious heinous criminal gang. The Turksploitation film, which went on nationwide general release across the country on November 1, 1973 (1973-11-01), was completely unauthorized by the copyright owners of the dubiously depicted characters. The film was popular and thus spawned many other mockbuster types of many other similar major Hollywood productions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
