truly a C-movie
This movie is truly cult and its pretty funny.I think its one of the very few turkish sci-fi movies. If a movie is good then its nice to watch it. If a movie is bad then you should not watch it at all. But if a movie is too bad then it makes more fun than a good movie. This is one of those movies, called B-movies. Perhaps this is a C-movie. It has very funny scenes. The space scenes are all stolen from star wars. They are sometimes too bright and sometimes too dark. They show scenes of star wars and they loop those scenes every 15 seconds. Sometimes they go backwards. The monsters are pretty funny too. Especially the big robot which had a big yellow ambulance lamp on his head. It was moving slowly around during the whole movie, saying something like "catch the earthlings! kill the earthlings!" the guy who was making the robot voice was probably holding his nose while talking to sound like a robot since they were not able to make digital sound fx. The story is cool too. I did not know that there are muslims on other planets =)
The Expert
I think if there is a man who can rescue the world he is Cuneyt Arkin and this film shows us how to rescue the world. If somebody is thinking that the world is not a good place and its being worth day by day and wants to rescue us than he must watch this film. And if there is somebody who says bad things about this film than i can say him go and watch MATRIX. than u will see that film is a copy of Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam. The character Noe is a simple version of Cuneyt Arkin. This film is better than MATRIX to me. and also this film tells us many things about life.
where did you get the english dialogue?
Is that actual english dialogue from the film that you are quoting? Every print of this that I have seen, is in Turkish with no subtitles. I suppose it's been getting so much attention, that many have thought of translating it, and making it more readily available. I thought maybe someone already had. The funniest "Star Wars" knockoff to date, and worth seeing at least once.
All that LSD finally made my brain melt
There were times when I was watching this film that I wondered, What must it have been like for the intended audiences when they first saw this nearly twenty years ago? did they rise up and hunt down the people who made this astoundingly derivative, shamelessly inept piece of camel dung and string them up from the nearest lamppost - or did it win the Turkish equivalent of the Oscar (the Osman?) for Best Picture? Still, I can't deny that it has certain charms. In fact, it's been a long time since I have laughed quite so hard at a bad movie that wasn't on Mystery Science Theater 3000. If you can find this one (and you might have some trouble - I had to get it from a guy in West Virginia and the print I saw was in Turkish only), rent it and watch it with a living room full of 'Star Wars' fans, liberally lubricated with a case of cheap beer. The finale must be seen to be believed.
What an outstanding movie!
That's not only a movie they said, it's a kind of myth, a lifestyle, a paradox, a surreal garbage..It's just a must-see, never forget..CUNEYT ARKIN was really serious about this film or we thought so and as we see, they really tried to be serious but it's just IMPOSSIBLE!!
"DUNYAYI KURTARAN ADAM" has turned into an absurd comedy and we're so glad to see this about 37 times :)
NEVER FORGET, IT'S A MUST-SEE!
Find it from somewhere with subtitles. Without the dialogs, the voices..oh no it's necessary to understand them..
"...thirteenth tribe..our fathers' tribe..Then where is here on the earth?" (??!!) (HEY! Cuneyt is trying' to tell something to us!! :)

Did you know
- TriviaÇetin Inanç decided to incorporate pirated footage from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) after a storm destroyed the elaborate spaceship sets built on a Turkish beach. The studio refused to pay for reconstruction, and didn't want to delay the film's release. Instead of trying to create all-new space battle footage, Inanç bribed the night watchman at a Turkish film distributor to let him borrow a Star Wars print, then hastily copied it overnight. When the anamorphic Star Wars footage was spliced into this film, which was shot in academy format, it was put in a wrong aspect ratio - which, for example, explains why the Death Star looks more like an 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.
