What happens

Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (English: The Man Who Saves The World) is a 1982 Turkish science fantasy martial arts superhero adventure film directed by Çetin İnanç, and starring actor/martial artist Cüneyt Arkın. It was first released in November 1982 by Anıt Ticaret in Turkey, and later in 2005 by BijouFlix Releasing in the United States. The film is popularly known outside Turkey as Turkish Star Wars because it incorporates footage, music, and sound effects from Star Wars and other science fiction and adventure films without authorization. The film, part of a wave of low-budget Turksploitation superhero films produced during the 1970s to early 1980s, combines science fiction themes with martial arts fantasy action, having more in common with 1970s Hong Kong martial arts films from Golden Harvest than with Star Wars. The film was panned by film critics and has often been described as one of the worst films ever made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
