I hope "Uzak" passes it soon! But, the evil creatures which look like they were made from Muppet fleece and Arkin's leaping abilities which are even more amazing than anything Bruce Lee or Mary Lou Retton ever did make this one worth a look. It is known as "The Turkish Star Wars" but the only real link with Lucas' film is at the outset of the film when apparently a forgotten Turkish Luke Skywalker (Arkin) finally gets to talk about his adventures. The dreictor Cetin Inanc made several more infamous films. Other interesting films in Arkin's resume include the 'Turkish Western'- "Ringo Kit!" and "The Lion Man," which was apparently (yikes!) dubbed into English. I actually think "Turist Omer Yolunda"- the "Turkish Star Trek" is funnier than this one- especially "Spock's ears!"
