Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam: The Man Who Saved the World: Turkish Star Wars: The Ottoman Empire Strikes Back

Absolutely hysterical 1982 Turkish bootleg of Star Wars. Even just the Wikipedia article about it is hilarious. I highly recommend it to anyone. The plot has nothing to do with Star Wars, but they didn't have any money to shoot space scenes so they used the Battle of Yavin instead. And the music from Raiders of the Lost Ark. And various clips from the Death Star and Mos Eisley Cantina with the Turks superimposed on top of them. Includes an Earth shielded by a field of human brain cells that completely coincidentally looks exactly like the Death Star. The movie ends with the hero karate-chopping the main villain in half lenghtwise. 11/10.

Where could I find this?

Well, for example places I can't suggest because of the forum rules.

It doesn't matter, really. The Pirate Bay is down, potentially forever, since the front loading servers were raided.

Is it on Netflix, perhaps?

I have it as a physical DVD. Looks like it's available from the Internet Archive, but that doesn't look like it has subtitles. I don't know where to find one with English text.

Also, piracy is against the forum rules, but given how much of this film is stitched together from other films without permission anyway I think it's kind of a moot point.

Pirate Bay is back up. Hosted by isohunt, now.

Just as I expected a single day barely passed and piratebay was back online through servers in some South American country that I forgot its name ... Either way a simple raid on their servers wont do much especially considering the amount of backup servers they have, its a piece of cake for them to relocate or retrieve the data from a backup server. So yup it was more fuss than any use.

I thought it was hosted in Costa Rica?

Maybe. I just know Isohunt (out of Vancouver) is hosting a database mirror of Pirate Bay.

Oh, yeah, forgot about that.
But yeah the pirate bay switched to Costa Rican servers pretty quickly and are now hosted at .cr. But according to the forum rules we shouldn't even be talking about this, because forum rules treat piracy like Austria treats nazism.

Nobody provided links, nor suggested/encouraged piracy. Fine in my book.

Not that I could do anything anyway, but I'm with Error.

The fact that this movie exists gives me hope.

Discussing piracy == promoting piracy, so yeah.

Untrue. Referring to it as illegal, immoral, and bad is discussing it, but hardly promoting it.

So I'll let it slide unless we get into the links, blatant promoting, or overt suggestion of piracy.
