Topic: Weird Foreign Versions of Superheroes

[Najemikon]

This is bloody bizarre! I think Jimmy's wishlist is about to get bigger...

Better than Hollywood?

I thought the Bollywood Superman was the oddest thing I had ever seen. But then I got to the Turkish Spider-Man.

Well..that was odd

The Turkish industry had produced a lot of weird movie : you like a movie the chance are good that a rip-off exist 

A greek company (Onar Films) is specialize in this genre. Just a little taste of their product



Sadly their release are a little bit costly for me, since our $ doesn't have a good exchange value right now.

So I don't own a lot of those movies, I have : Seytan (The Exorcist), Ölüler konusmazki (a very boring B/W vampire movie) and Aska susayanlar - Seks vs Cinayet (not too bad for a no-budget giallo).

2 that I don't have but look interesting is their ripoff of Star Wars and Star Trek (none of them are release)

Never watch the Indian Superman (the girl who play Lois Lane or Spider Woman looks great), but if its just weird like International Guerillas (A movie from Pakistan that mixed action, dance numbers, song numbers, religious propaganda, comedy and really cheap effects for more than 3 hours) it certainly a good way to pass the time...

  Definitely not for me! Shun me if you like but I will stick with Hollywood when it comes to Superhero movies!

Maybe this one made in 1995 could be interesting for you Pete :



Unique in many ways, and considered the best Turkish horror film by international reviewers, KARANLIK SULAR knows how to create an eerie and uncanny atmosphere where reason gives way to hallucination and poetry can turn into nightmare and vice versa.

A woman whose son may be a vampire, an apocalyptic mystical scroll to-kill-for, an ancient Byzantine princess in the form of a 7-year-old vampire, ominous sects, a misty and metaphysical Istanbul... Well, it's better watched than talked about but when watched it must be talked about!

Sounds like it could be interesting... I can see the need to go outside Hollywood for horror. Some really great horror out there! I just wish I could get used to those damn subtitles! :p (I am getting better with them though).

[Jimmy]

Good news for you 

Even if the movie is Turkish, it was filmed in english and in turks so only a part of it force you to read the subtitles.
