Cüneyt Arkın passed away today. Rip. He was a legendary dude in Turkey.

[@ryanangelastro504]

Turkey lost her greatest hero.

[@De.ladmahboi]

Sad to hear... I'm really loving these Turkish mockbusters.

We lost a true legend

He owe the Turks a big thank, because he can make videos like this thanks to the Turks.

[@cinemafanatic2010]

10:07 The real translation is: Ali(Aytekin Akkaya): "You fought to loud. Her(the princess) husbands(the monsters) came. Murat(Cuneyt Arkin):" Good thing they did, or you would have never left her." That's what I remember.

[@darkrider95bilmemney82]

Actually, Cuneyt says: it's suprising for you to let her go. But it leads the same way.

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

That training scene Is pretty much the answer to the question ''what if there was a Turkish Kamen Rider?''

[@legodroideka5505]

They did but I was not from Turkey. It was from Thailand. it was where that Chaiyo productions who made Hanuman Vs. 7 Ultraman which got tied up in a bunch of legal battles with Tsuburaya Productions and ending up with Tsuburaya Winning the court case

[@maxbrandt6]

I can't stop laughing! Between the insane herky-jerky editing, puppet punching and whatthefuckery of the screwy plot and Brandon's sarcastic remarks, I'm getting a weeks worth of laugh therapy in one sitting!

Dude was ripping alien arms apart and bashing them in with them. He was truly channeling his inner Wookiee.

[@kaiosamatlj4031]

Like you said, subtitles are optional, but since I watched this subbed, I can say they can really enhance the experience. Why? Because the actual plot (or at least, what this movie tries to pass as plot) is bonkers as all hell. The beginning has loads of exposition about humanity advancing to the space age and being attacked by a mysterious alien force (led by a evil wizard), but here's come the craziest part: The aliens didn't destroyed Earth yet because it is protected by a forcefield made of human brains. I'm not making this up. Also, those guys on horses that attack them at the beginning... They were supposed to be skeletons.

[@theturk1939]

Every Child sleeps with a Chuck Norris Pyjama but Chuck Norris sleeps with a Cüneyt Arkin Pyjama.

[@twiseguy2772]

5:19 "The Ottoman Empire Strikes Back". LMAO

[@baileybecker5583]

Was that real, or did Brandon add it? I would think the Turks would consider the Ottoman Empire the good guys.

[@undefBehav]

"he just catches the next stock footage ship outta town" oh my god, that one had me bad! as a turk myself, i can't just have enough of these turkish knock-off reviews. good job Brandon!

[@Mattteus]

kudos for saying Cüneyt properly!

[@johnbockelie3899]

Princess Lay meee.

[@aleynamutlu4206]

Legend says Chuck Norris got trained by Cüneyt Arkın, even the name Chuck was given by him as in Çak! in Turkish meaning to hit as an order. Plus, If you raise up your hand and say “chuck!” to a random Turk, If he/she is cool enough indeed will you give you a high five.

[@lknndrmn5352]

Understanding the Turkish while he has to guess what they're saying gives me a sense of power

I'll hold out til they release the Turkish Star Wars: Special Edition.

[@lafoliecirculaire]

they won't. Because a new turkish ufo movie is arriving in 2018 lmao

[@LinkMarioSamus]

BTW just to add, while I understand why the Special Editions get so much hate, I wasn't particularly bothered by the changes when I watched the original film a few days ago.

[@TBrianOnline]

Don't forget the Christmas special.

[@gregormcscrungus9727]

Okay, I need this question answered right now What theme did he play during the training montage? Because I legit liked that.

The part with the wolf is from a movie called the magic sowrd.

[@natur3calls]

I recently just bought this movie on Ebay, totally worth it. I was laughing the entire time. My version also came with subtitles, which only added to the hilarity.

[@victorhernandez8723]

Your subtitles make this look like an Abridged version of Turkish Star Wars!

[@ilikethecokev2]

I'll give this movie credit where it's due, the fights scenes are decently choreographed.

[@Shadowkey392]

12:20 Oh God! Telephone cords! His only weakness!

[@disneyboy3030]

Here is a fun fact. See this was inspired by Star Wars but the reason for stock footage was because that right before filming commenced the actual full sized ship sets were destroyed in a storm and they didn’t have enough money to rebuild them.

[@alparslan2223]

It's a big lie bro I'm Turkish an the guy who is the director of the movie known for making movies so fast his nick name jet çetin he isn't the guy who makes sets for movies this would be waste of money instead of he just cut and paste star wars scenes

[@DiarraHarris]

I surprised he hasn't done this Turkish knock off but the timing is very serendipitous.

[@frankez1975]

You are officially my favorite KZbin movie reviewer!

[@Kankayama]

Loving these Turkish movies content as a Turkish person. Here are some fun facts from a fellow Cüneyt Arkın fan(may he rest in peace) Originaly the movie was going to be more than 2 hours. They had to cut. So the story goes they had a great set, some props and even 2 spaceships, back in the day it was gonna be a very expensive movie. But due to heavy storm almost all the props and spaceships and set were destroyed. There was this old interview in which Cüneyt told; "In the night we were sewing the fluffy monster constumes and at day we were ripping them apart" Because of the heavy budget limitations due to losing everything on set, they had to " improvise" a lot of things including ripping off scenes from other movies. Great job on video, I may even suggest some Cüneyt Arkın hidden gems at some point.

[@alkanustalar7526]

Today actor Cüneyt Arkın passed away. R.I.P. the man who saved the world.

[@Dinoslay]

11:01 Nobody suspects the Spanish Inquisition!

[@juliebradwell7435]

I especially love how they were able to get John Williams to do the music for this movie. Sounds JUST like Indiana Jones... wait

[@baileybecker5583]

If anyone is wondering, the Wolfman thing in the tomb was stock footage from the MST3K/Rifftrax feature "The Magic Sword."

[@BulletTooth504]

For some reason, Arkin's character in this really reminds me of Segata Sanshiro.

[@semihkarabas6185]

Cuneyt Arkin is legend while being a famous actor he had a black belt in karate? And was a doctor

[@jonecuntapay9561]

Just throw a couple trademarked Marvel comics in a woodchipper. What comes out will be close enough.

[@kabatsky]

Actually, Legend of Dinosaurs music fits pretty good with that training montage...

[@Tareltonlives]

YES! I've been looking forward to this!

[@Tareltonlives]

The training montage is such an unnecessary sequence: if the film started with Cüneyt Arkın punching TIE fighter stockfootage, I'd still believe it. He's Cüneyt Arkın, and he can do that. Still a more original take on Star Wars than the Force Awakens.

[@Tareltonlives]

Yeah, in addition to footage from Star Wars, they used footage from the Bert I Gordon film The Magic Sword. Why? I don't know.

[@shawnfox5568]

Again, the music from Legend of the Dinosaurs is fucking amazing, and every time I play it at the bar people ask what the song is called. And I'm always like "Well, it's called 'Track 14 and...'." And it's got to the point that regulars sing along to that "Pshshshshshshsh" sound that's just...Part of the music? And it's amazing and thank you so much for what you do

[@ScreamingScallop]

If you're ever looking for FRESH bad superhero movies, Russia's massive misfire "Guardians" just hit US DVD/BD. It looks and sounds beautiful, but it's terribly written and literally everything about it is swiped from US movies or comics.

[@sigmacademy]

Watched the movie. Had some really nice scenes, but the English subtitles are all over the place, which makes it as understandable as Volcano High.

Well you can't get in trouble for a text crawl, as Flash Gordon did it before Star Wars in the old black and white cinema series. So the only issue is the music and someone must have done a generic Star Wars alike music to get around it. We demand our text crawls.

My wife is from Turkey. I get her to translate the dialogue, it is rubbish "You should like good wine and your good looks will get you into trouble" She said she used to take the Mickey out of films like this when she was growing up. Arkin was a big star in Turkey, partly because he had blue eyes which, although not unheard of, are unusual there.
