Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe name of the spaceship that Garavel presents Arif with is "KA-FA 1500". "Kafa 1500", meaning "Head 1500" is a Turkish slang term for "high" as in "high on drugs."
- GoofsThe number that Arif dials in jail on the ship doesn't match to the number that appears on the LCD screen, since there were a change in the main sponsors of the film. Both sponsors were GSM Operators. But at the filming sequence Telsim was the sponsor, however at the post production sequence it was Avea.
- Quotes
Arif: Would you mind if I turned on on the music?
Old Villager: What kind of music? I don't listen to foreign music! How can I be sure that ain't swearing at my mother!
Arif: How old is your mother?
Old Villager: She is still alive, 93 by now.
Arif: Don't worry, old timer, this band is new. They cannot know your mom!
Band singing: Motherfucker, oh yeah! Motherfucker!

Basically, GORA is a good piss take of the more popular sci-fi movies such as Starwars and Matrix. And that's fine with me, because I believe both Starwars (feel the Farce) and Matrix (I know Kung Fu) are extremely overrated movies. The sense of humour in GORA is Turkish. That is neither a praise nor an insult. It is just Turkish. The subtitles don't help either. For some reason Turkish movie producers hire awful translators who sometimes even mix German with English. Translation between languages that are as different from each other as Turkish and English requires slightly more than a word-by-word correspondence. I hereby offer my services free of charge. Just ask. Had the subtitles been any better the movie could have achieved some international recognition as a comedy movie. Turkish speakers should definitely watch this movie. They'll have a good laugh. Non-Turks should give it a try.
