Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe material from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) was spliced in from an anamorphic print, while this movie was shot in academy format, which put the Star Wars footage in the wrong aspect ratio. The Death Star looks more like a Death Egg.
- GoofsDuring the cantina fight, Murat hits the red fluffy monster in the face and opens the gap between the head and body of the monster costume, briefly revealing the stuntman's neck.
- Alternate versionsThere was a 92 minute version, with the opening credits superimposed over the Star Wars footage, and additional scenes. This version was put out on a German Betamax tape.
- ConnectionsEdited from The Magic Sword (1962)
Featured review
Nobody really knows if this is a comedy or not!
I think this was originally intended to be a serious sci-fi flick. However, Cuneyt Arkin said in a recent interview that they "had wanted to make fun of Star Wars, and this was the result". This may be his personal opinion, of course. I don't know what the director feels about his film. Judging from what I read from the user reviews, I would say that he still takes his work rather seriously!
By the way, Cuneyt Arkin is also famous for his saying about this film, "We saved the world, but bankrupted the producer!"
