CHEKIT: Turkish Turkeys.


Get your credit cards out. Guadalupe alerts us to a fortuitous confluence of popular culture, feckless greed and cavalier disregard for international copyright law - God bless the Turks:
The Turkish film industry has a proud (well, actually shameless) tradition of remaking Hollywood classics on a budget that wouldn't pay for lunch for a typical Hollywood movie crew. Now you can host your own Mystery Science Theatre party with these incredibly awful and hilarious rip-offs from the Turkey film factories.

SEE . . . The Tin Man portrayed as a fruity homosexual!


SEE . . . E.T. played by a midget wearing a garbage bag!


SEE . . . The most incredible spray of pea-soup puke in the history of the cinema!


SEE . . . Darth Vader enter his space chamber with his evil robot, an upside-down garbage can on top of a garbage can with a water cooler and a police siren on top of that.

Sweet, sweet candy. I'm waiting for their version of "Episode I." I'm betting it couldn't be any worse than the original.

Have you seen the Turkish version of Episode 4? It boggles the mind.
