When DUNYAYI KURTARAN ADAM a.k.a TURKISH STAR WARS became a cult movie, also it became a kind of emergency article tool for Turkish movie critics too.
However it became a source for Turkish stand-up comedians since 90’s, it became a source for chat between college students to make own day.As a result Turkish Star Wars is still a serious source for fun for a lot of people.
Unfortunately while a lot of Turkish people kidding with this movie a lot of foreign people were made serious researches by trying to understand this movie. For example, While to reckon there are stolen scenes from Star Wars - IV is so easy even by 10 years older child, to know there are some stolen scenes from Black Hole’(1979) movie is really a part of serious research such as requeire to interest with B movies.

This article was prepared first time about the soundtrack and scores that used in Turkish Star Wars.
PLANET OF THE APES – Jerry GOLDSMITH: Planet of The Apes was an extra ordinary sci-fi movie with ecological and peaceful messages. Its also a proof that sci-fi never include only action and massacres. Any part of this serie never has a happy ending cause the shooting time of Planet of The Apes doesnt has happy happens in the world too. So it can also calls as a "Black Sci-Fi Movie".
While Jerry Goldsmith was composing for score, he specially focused for improvize jazz style to get movie's mysterious atmosphere.This style helped to support this atmosphere.
Planet of The Apes score was used in Turkish Star Wars to describe mystery as similar like original movie. After Arkin and Akkaya came to unknown planet and while they are research to know this planet this score plays background. To come and to make a research on unknown planet is same opening story with The Planet of The Apes at the same time. So to use this movie's score on Turkish Star Wars isnt randomly.
Moreover while Cüneyt Arkın and Aytekin Akkaya found the graves of old civilizations on planet the music plays on background is J.S Bach's Toccata. Çetin İnanç specially wanted to use Toccata for this scene.
US released Project Records 5023 LP - 1968
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK – John WILLIAMS:
Successful story of Steven Spielberg from 1981 was proved an adventure movie always be box-office with a strong story. Of course Spielberg has specially choosen a Jewish theme to prepare this story too.
The main theme of Indiana Jones by John Williams is the main theme of The Man who Saves of The World at the same time. However John Williams's chase suit for Indiana (While he tries to get Moses Chest from Natzies by a truck chase - with a lot of Mercedes advertisement) is "Big Fight" and "Arena" suit of Turkish Star Wars too.
Italian Released Polydor 5146 LP
FLASH GORDON – QUEEN:Queen's interesting score for Flash Gordon was used Turkish Star Wars's bad guy The Magician's torture sequences. Flash Gordon score's extra ordinary effects was used as special effect in several secenes from Queen's metamorphises as a spider by Magician to planet's magnetic storms.
However The Magician of Turkish Star Wars and Ming of Flash Gordon almost are same characters. So, it means that it isnt a random choice to use this movie's score like Planet of The Apes.
German Released EMI C 064 – 61 203 LP
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - Stu PHILIPS:
There are two important details about this sci-fi classic's music theme for Turkish Star Wars;
First; GALACTICA theme was covered as disco-funk by Giorgio Moroder like Meco's phenomen cover for Star Wars. Moroder is an important figure for 80's popular music too. Scarface, Top Gun are some samples as his successful soundtracks. Giorgio Moroder’s disco style cover's 45 rpm for GALACTICA was used opening scene and Arkin - Akkaya's practises with rocks scenes.
Second, original GALACTICA's fun theme was used Turkish Star Wars version of Star Wars series Space Pubs scene. Its a rock alternative instead of Williams's composing between Carliston and Symphonic theme.
German Released MCA Records 252 602
US Released Casablanca 7126
BEN – HUR – Miklos ROZSA:
BEN HUR is longest score of the world with longer than 2 hours playing time. World's first epic score composer Miklos Rozsa’s succesfull themes make easy heared such as longer score. Also Rozsa's scores not came far for Turkish listeners, a lot of them was also used specially Turkish Historical Action flicks.
As a tip Miklos Rozsa didnt compose BEN HUR score in three months. Score's records were completed in three months. Composing of score was more than 2 years, and records that used in movie was conducted by Carlo Savina in Rome.
As an epic music composer, Miklos Rozsa helps the holy sword, holy brain scenes with themes in Turkish Star Wars. This themes are complete the majestyk atmosphere of these scenes.
US Released MGM Records 1 E 1 ( 1960 )
