Turkish Star Trek

Well now Old Man Robb has seen some things in his time and he has seen some things..now when i was a kid growing up in the Passage back in the 70s and 80s i was not much of a big ol Star Trek fan...my brother was more of a freak for Trek where i was more of a Star Wars kid..not the Star Wars Kid, but you get what i mean..i had the action figures and all the stuff..and i rememeber one day after hockey practice Dad taking me to see the first Star Trek movie..the Motion Picture which should be relabelled the Motion Sickness cause it went on and on and on and i remember looking around the theatre and seeing people asleep all over the frickin place..including Dad! ..i do recall having a few Star Trek Mego figures and watching the Filmation show on CBC French which was the first place i had seen Captain Harlock, but that is a story for another time...

So does anyone remember Turkish Star Wars?

No? Well....

The Turkish Star Wars was a 1982 movie made in Turkey (Well duh Old Man Robb) that well shamelessly used unauthorized footage from Star Wars and worked it into the film. It also used the soundtrack from Raiders of the Lost Ark, James Bond and the original Battlestar Galactica as well...i watched it due to the bad word of mouth and plus the fact that Old Man Robb just cannot and i mean cannot resist a bad movie but omg...this thing was worse than the frickin Star Wars Holiday Special for gosh sakes! And that is really saying something!

Anywho what i just witnessed to my horror was Turkish Star Trek... well believe it or not it was no where near as horrific as Turkish Star Wars, but i must admit instead of borrowing scenes like TSW did to put in the background of their crappy movie, TST just literally borrowed everything from Star Trek..uniforms! music! names! the look of the enterprise...just everything..but with Turkish actors and actresses with 1/10th the budget of the original tv show...

What do you think Mr Spock? My thoughts exactly...

Live long...and prosper...or something..
