Oh yeah. I happen to be somewhat of an authority on "quality", that's what a friend and I used to call horrible movies and actors. We designed a whole system around it. For example, Turkish Star Wars would be the highest quality movie of all time, where as what we know of the Lucas Star Wars was garbage. We also stated that Lucas stole SW from the turks. the fact that SW came before TSW didn't matter, as we accussed Lucas of stealing a script that was lying around for the turks for SW. The turks, apparently, didn't have good enough distribution to get the movie out, and once Lucas came out with his version, even going as far as to use the same actors, the turks felt the best they could do was re-cast it and make it somewhat different, but obviously a much higher quality. Apparently turkish distributiion is not much better today, as many of us have not heard of this classic which puts SW to shame. You see what I mean about quality meaning something else?
We also developed all sorts of other traits of quality. For example, a black and white was always higher quality (referred to from now on as HQ) than a color production, and a silent always more HQ than a talkie. Actors who hadn't uttered a line were better than Bogart, you get the picture. We also had the system of explaining how the HQ films would never be understood as HQ by the masses, simply because they were too ignorant to recognize true quality when they saw it.
So yeah, we went through our youtube search of all things turkish, not to mention a few indian things as well and saw the Rambo one, but it isn't really as high a quality as TSW, so I didn't mention it. No groundbreaking special effects to be stolen by Lucas. no arms being ripped off and served for din-dins, just nothing to make it truly memorable, though rocket rounds coming off the rocket launcher in a drop pattern, instead of straight, ranks pretty high.
Strange as it is to say, I consider the turkish superman to be higher quality than the 50's superman. I mean the 50's superman being black and white is hard to overcome compared to a color production, but superman ducking for thrown guns gets very high marks in terms of quality. I mean, how can I say the turkish superman is higher quality when he doesn't even duck when a rock is thrown at him? I think I have to re-examine just what quality means when I pick the turks before the 50's one. Well at least the turkish one had outstanding color. If you're going to have color, it ought to look like that. Certainly the turkish one had a higher quality opening logo, though it was in color. I guess the 50's superman having less fuzziness than the turkish film, despite it's being black and white, must be doing it in. Then again, I bet the whole superman idea was stolen from the turks too. No telling how many problems were created by what otherwise would had been a brilliant movie producing nation, had it not been for poor distribution. Bloody hollywood keeps stealing all their ideas.
