TURKISH SUPERMAN 1979 (BLUE MERMAID)

Oh my God!!

Another Turkish Delight. This is a blantent Superman rip off that uses some of the score from that film as well as the music from James Bond films.

Tayfun Demir stars as Tayfun, a young man from the planet in a universe populated by Christmas ornaments. He is told by Jor-El, who is missing half of his teeth that he has super powers.

Tayfun leaves his parents hpme and heads for the big city. There he meets an attractive women reporter named Alev (Gungor Bayrak) and is constantly having to save her from a gang of criminals who are looking for kryptonite for a new invention that will allow them to rule the world.

Tayfun is kind of a dork looking guy, but hey I guess he is supposed to be that way when not being Superman. This film also uses footage from the US Superman and has a very badly superimposed picture of Tayfun flying against a backdrop of that same said footage.

In long shots you can easily see that the filmmakers used a superman doll!! Yep they pulled no punches here. If you wanna have some fun watch this and then you'll know why I like Turkish cinema so much!!
