YMMV / The Man Who Saves the World

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The ogres who growl at the camera after the protagonists defeat the skeleton cavalry have nothing to do with anything. Nor does a random guy jumping off the cliff in the scene after those two protagonists are captured for the first time.
• Complete Monster: The Wizard is an evil, immortal sorcerer who deigns to destroy Earth no matter what. The Wizard has enslaved, tortured, and mass-murdered innocents for centuries and seeks a special golden brain to complete his conquest and destruction of the Earth. The Wizard also sustains his immortality in a particularly cruel way: kidnapping children after murdering their parents, then drinking their blood to sustain himself.
• Fan Nickname:
  • Spoony, in his review, refers to the protagonists as "Kenny and Not Kenny", the villain as "Mardi Darth" and his henchmen as "Robbie the Robot, Queen Wonderella, and Space Tom Selleck".
  • The name "Turkish Star Wars" itself is a Fan Nickname of sorts.
• Ho Yay: The interaction between Murat and Ali when the latter dies. The chemistry between them is more apparent than the one between Murat and his love interest.
• Sequelitis: The sequel is disliked for being unfaithful to the first film.
• Signature Scene: The Training Montage is the most well known scene in the film thinks to its Memetic Mutation.
• So Bad, It's Good: The movie has gained a cult following among magazines and internet reviewers alike due to its stolen footage/music and Special Effects and Fight Scene Failure.
• Special Effect Failure: The worst special effect in this movie would be when the Wizard gets chopped in half vertically. The split parts look like a cardboard cutout with seesaw patterns and showing the Wizard's face in half involved covering half of the camera, which fails by showing his entire unharmed nose.
• Stock Footage Failure: The differences in budget make it laughably easy to tell which parts of the movie were original, and which were stolen from Star Wars. Special mention should be made to the part where our hero fights a werewolf that is clearly stock footage lifted from The Magic Sword. The scenery doesn't even match, and it's killed by the hero obviously stabbing at the camera while reaction shots are shown.
