Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Leofwine_draca A surprisingly efficient Turkish spoof of the popular television series, complete with the Turkish versions of all the characters you know and love - Kirk, Spock, McCoy, even Uhura. The only person missing is Mr Sulu! Complete with ripped-off music, really poor quality clips of the Enterprise itself, and a plot stolen from one of the earlier episodes of the series, this Turkish comic yarn retains interest throughout, mainly due to the exploits of that lovable rogue Ömer the Tourist. As played by Sadri Alisik, Ömer the Tourist was a character who apparently appeared in a series of five similarly comic movies as he got himself into many scrapes.Here, Alisik starts off being forced into an arranged marriage when he is saved in the nick of time by being teleported to an alien planet by a mad doctor. From then on, he becomes embroiled in a plot involving the Enterprise and its crew, the aforementioned mad doctor and his gold-skinned bikini girls, a hideous monster, an alien shape-shifter, and an army of robot musclemen who stomp around in loincloths like extras from a cheap peplum flick and have circuit boards jutting from their backs. Yep, this film is certainly one packed with incident, which is why it is so enjoyable! Much of the comedy comes from the bumbling Alisik, who is actually very good in his character part, as he acts as the eyes and ears of the audience, shrieking at the monsters and exploring and examining weird futuristic objects. There's also a lot of verbal sparring with the distinctly unamused Mr "Spak", who comes complete with pointy ears and Vulcan Deathgrip! A running joke involves Alisik pretending to shake hands with Spak only to move his hand away at the last moment - it's that kind of simple, light hearted, even childish humour that makes this movie appealing.Although this has a bigger budget than most Turkish fantasy movies, that isn't saying much. The best thing about this are the sets of the Enterprise; although tacky, they're quite true to the original television show. Much fun is had from the shoddiness of the rest of the effects, like a torch which is made out to be an alien device, doors which close with the sound of somebody going "whoosh!", and a transporter which causes people to be covered in white dots before the camera is faded out! There's also a really cheap laughing plant which is actually just some guy's hand sticking through a table! There are two monsters of note in the movie - the first, a rampaging creature whom Kirk fights in the desert, which is cheap-looking but fun. The second is an alien shape shifter (the shape shifting achieved through cheap but cool special effects) which eventually reveals its true nature as a shaggy-haired Yeti-type creature - causing Alisik to run shrieking from the room! The comedy conclusion sees Alisik returned to his wedding, with additional pointy ears and Vulcan Deathgrip - much to the consternation of the assembled! The acting is fine, and even if the characters don't look like their counterparts, at least they act like them. Although William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy won't be losing sleep over these imitators they'll do for now. This movie is a must-see for those cult fans looking for an example of Turkish cinema, as this is a great place to start; very easy to follow with plenty of weirdness and colourful characters.

Bogmeister This was apparently made by some resourceful Trek fans in Turkey around the same time as the Star Trek animated series, during the Trek drought of the seventies between the original series (ended in '69) and the 1st Trek movie in '79. One can look at it as a lost episode of the original series, composed of Trek bloopers, discarded scenes, and an overabundance of the ridiculous. It begins with the standard Trek visuals of the Enterprise zooming about in space, but as if shot thru a red filter, and quite blurry. This also uses the standard Trek background music and FX sounds from the sixties show (the music, however, doesn't always fit the action in the scene). Unfortunately, my version doesn't have an English vocal track or subtitles, but I could figure out within a few minutes that this aimed for a remake/parody of "The Man Trap" episode of the original show, featuring that salt-sucking monster (since that was the first episode of the original series to air, this makes me wonder if they intended to remake later episodes - next would have been "Charlie X"). This comic version also included some androids, including a male model-type dressed only in a loin cloth. Overall, it's an intriguing precursor to other Trek spoofs such as the famous "Saturday Night Live" episode with John Belushi.About 15 minutes in, the plot abruptly diverts to some Turkish dude from present times suddenly whisked (beamed away) from his low rent (shotgun?) wedding into the Trek adventure, where he interacts with all the main characters - kind of a wish fulfillment dream of all the Turkish fans, I guess. In the meantime, the salt creature takes the identity of several characters, though the way it sucks the salt out is portrayed a bit differently from the original episode. The costuming accurately copies that of the original series, with the same style uniforms. This also reminded me just how sexy those mini-skirted uniforms were on the female crew members - there's a few of 'em here - in one amusing scene where they train their 'phasers' on the visitor. Check out, also, the hairdo emulating the Yeoman Rand character - trippy. The sets also attempt to copy the Enterprise interior, though less successfully; the exteriors in the ruins are better realized. The humor really kicks in during the last half, with the salt creature terrorizing the tourist and other action stuff copying scenes from the "Arena" episode and, even better, the Kirk-Spock fight from "Amok Time." The scenes with the multitude of loin-clothed androids is a bit too bizarre, but the conclusion is appropriately amusing. The whole thing's just over 70 minutes long on my version. Maybe this helped in getting a new Trek series greenlit, then the motion picture, when it was realized that the whole planet was desperate for new Trek.

NavyOrion It's scary to think that this movie is considered by some to be "a masterpiece among Turkish movies"; that says a lot more about the state of Turkish cinema than I'd care to know. But the film, more commonly known as "Turkish Star Trek" in English-speaking countries, is one of the most enjoyable of the many Star Trek spoofs in circulation.The viewer is treated to an outsider's view of the Star Trek universe, as a Turkish slapstick comedian (Turist Ömer) escapes a shotgun wedding thanks to the timely intervention of the starship Enterprise. Borrowing shamelessly from several classic Star Trek episodes (particularly Star Trek's first broadcast episode "The Man Trap") an ability to speak Turkish is not necessary for Star Trek fans to be able to follow the plot, although it may well baffle non-Trekkies. In fact, picking out the various homages (and deciding which characters are being depicted by the actors) may well be one of the most enjoyable aspects.Interspersed with the familiar scenes are more bizarre sequences, involving a mad scientist (a dead ringer for Alfred Ryder, who played Dr. Crater in "The Man Trap"), as well robots in loincloths, bikini-clad alien girls, and some of the most hilariously bad pre-digital special effects ever committed to film.It is probable that the dialog makes some sense of the goings-on, but until a subtitled version emerges (don't hold your breath), you're better off to just sit back with some wise-cracking buddies, pass the Romulan ale, and enjoy the show.

alpar Last of the turist omer series of movies. (5 movies of local traditional comedy) Movie was made when star trek was airing on tv. Omer the tourist is a quick minded non wealthy guy of 1973 trying to escape from the wedding desk when by chance beamed up to the Enterprise mistakenly through time. Afterwards the story is taken from 1966 original series 'the man trap' with the comic interferences by turist omer. I was 10 years old and had fun that time. It's low level childish movie for today's standards and nothing significant to tell about.
