The Wonderful World Of Turkish Remakes
Star Trek
From The Wave: The Turkish Enterprise’s dress code has got to cause problems. The female personnel are forced to wear miniskirts that end four inches above the bottom of their asses, and when they turn around to work on the spray-painted cardboard computers, they have no secrets. I’m sure this leads to situations where the navigator loses his concentration and says, “Miss Uhura, we are crotching a course for the panties sector, coordinates your whole ass hanging out. Repeat: panties, panties, panties. ”
E.T.
From The Wave: Elliot climbs out of bed and limps through the mangled ruin of his house to find E.T. in a doorway. There’s an awkward silence as the two stare at each other, which is suddenly and insanely broken when E.T. launches a blast of smoke from its crotch.
The Wizard of Oz
From The Wave: The introduction of the Scarecrow marks the point where the movie goes from queer to FABULOUS! Why the Turks chose to make Scarecrow gay will forever remain another Turkish film enigma. But they don’t stop at just making him gay, the scarecrow is so stereotypically homosexual that Dorothy’s eyes almost burst into flames.
Superman
Corny, but still better than the latest American remake of Superman.
More Turkish remakes after the jump

Instead of wasting time with all that head-spinning nonsense, the possessed girl just punches people in the balls.

Where C3PO looks like Robbie the Robot with a police siren on his head.
