Baytekin Fezada Carpinsanlar is a Turkish sci-fi film from 1967. This is a very amusing and low-budget movie that's sure to please fans of cult, psychotronic or old Turkish films. This is a grand space opera whose laser beams are accomplished by scratching on the film with a pin, whose monsters are realized by covering extras in burlap sacks, where the illusion of two people talking to each other via view screen is pulled off by having the two parties stand on either side of a view screen shaped hole in the wall, and whose space-age sets appear to be a series of tiny storage rooms dressed with construction paper and fabric remnants.Director: Sinasi ÖzonukWriters: Alex Raymond (comic strip), Sinasi ÖzonukStars: Hasan Demirtag, Derya Tanyeli, Sevgi Can - via IMDB https://archive.org/details/BaytekinFezadaCarpinsanlarflashGordonsBattleInSpace

This is a very strange Turkish film from 1973. It's sourced from a poor condition VHS tape, so it suffers from the same preservation issues as most all vintage Turkish films. It's recommended for people with an interest in cult cinema and/or old Turkish films. The plot: Super villain "Mad Girl", who's dressed in a red Vampira suit, is trying to take over the world. She works for another villain who's dressed all in red and wears a dime store devil mask. Aiding her in her attempt at world domination is a band of men in green satin Klansman's robes. She also has a robot made out of cardboard boxes that carries a death ray that will cause you to disappear into a puff of smoke. Battling her are the "3 Supermen", athletic guys who wear red suits with an "S" on the front and which are bullet proof. For the better part of an hour the two sides battle each other in a series of spectacular fights.Director: Cavit YürüklüWriter: Volkan KayhanStars: Levent Çakir, Altan Bozkurt, Yesim Yükselen - via IMDB https://archive.org/details/CilginKizVeUcSuperAdamthreeSupermenAndMadGirl1973
