Movie Mashterpiece Theatre: Turkish Star Wars – September Thursday 30 (7pm) $9

The Phoenix National Comedy Theatre tackles another obscure B-Movie, this time the Turkish remake of Star Wars…it’s Turkish Star Wars (1982) a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 in a mix of improvisation, comedy and a really bad movie. This reimagining features loads of illegal bootlegged scenes from the real “Star Wars”, and music excerpts of the Indiana Jones main theme, "Moonraker", "Flash Gordon", "Battlestar Galactica", "Planet of the Apes" and Disney's "The Black Hole". Like “The Return of Superman”, the Turkish version of Superman, this probably can’t get any trashier! It stars Cuneyt Arkin (Turkey’s Harrison Ford) and the laughs galore will ensue as the National Comedy Theatre troupe performs a live accompaniment to this b-movie schlock.
