In honor of Turkey Day, here’s seven of the best Turkish rip-off movies presented in their entirety. Copyright and production values are nonexistent, but the thrills are (sort of) non-stop. Here’s Turkish Star Wars, Star Trek, and other trashterpieces.

3 Dev Adam (“Three Mighty Men”)

Santo and Captain America versus the deadly Istanbul gangster Spider-Man. In the opening 2 minutes, Spider-Man cuts off a woman’s head with a boat propeller.

Badi, The Turkish ET

Turkish Superman

Seytan, the Turkish Exorcist
