Trivia
The 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.

Goofs
During 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.

Quotes
Murat: Begin to your famous whistle which no women can resist.
Ali: OK.
[Whistles]
Murat: You whistle it wrong.
Ali: Why?
Murat: Skeletons came instead of woman.

Alternate versions
There 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.

Connections
Edited from The Magic Sword (1962)

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!! :)
