"3 DEV ADAM" (aka: Spider-Man in Turkey) by: -RoG-

[Mockery]

Here it is. I've been hinting about working on a big movie review for a long time now and I've been holding off on it until the release of Spider-Man 2. Welp, now that Spidey 2 is out I'm happy to unveil my latest minimock... 3 DEV ADAM. It's an absolutely insane Turkish film from the 1970's in which they pit Spider-Man up against Captain America and a Mexican wrestler named Santo. Yep, Spider-Man is no longer a superhero. He's a supervillain. So sit back and enjoy a look into the Turkish impression of some American comicbook heroes!

I wish that the real spiderman was like that. He would probably kill Doc Ock with a shiv.

[Mockery]

Yes I did just say that. It's my goddamned site and I can be as cheesy as I want to be, got it?
Yea and you can spoil as much stuff as u want too :lol

:/

[GADZOOKS]

Tropical is Back :hypno

[mburbank]

Mock, that's lovely.

What I want to know, though, and I bet it's a story worth writting, is how the hell you came into heard of and acquired this film.

[eva01]

why is captain AMERICA in that thing? shouldnt they have at least changed it to captain turkey? :)

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I thought Captain Turkey was Jared from the Subway ads.

[Neurotic monkey]

He probably borrowed it from blockbuster. I think I saw this film their once.

It's all about the eBay Max. You can find the most obscure shit on there. I got this thing for a few bux on a burned DVD, so that made it easier for me to do a big feature on it.

[stong bah]

Hey RoG, you know how you mentioned Turkish Star Trek and hinted at doing a review for it? Something Awful beat you to it. (http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2146)

AHH... MILK!

:lol :lol :lol

Good for them, that still wouldn't stop me from doing a big in-depth review of it. I generally don't let what other entertainment/humor sites have written about determine what I want to share my point-of-view on.

that truly IS scary...
Yeah, that part is just so completely random. Quite nightmarish.

Hey RoG, you know how you mentioned Turkish Star Trek and hinted at doing a review for it? Something Awful beat you to it. (http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2146)Someone else beat them to it as well. And did a much better job at it than SA. Someone named Seanbaby.

This spidy movie is a new one though.

[Mockery]

Exorcist? Hah, awesome I'll have to find that one sometime. I heard 3 Dev Adam was pretty much the most insane of all the shitty Turkish films, so that's why I started with it. Still, I'm sure the other ones are gonna be amusing to watch. But for now, I'm done with Turkey for a while... have other pieces to get back to work on.

[Immortal Goat]

THIS POST WAS NEVER EDITED! ;)

[Mockery]

That's because it said to EMAIL it to me, not post it. :o

[FartinMowler]

Turkish cinema has proven time and time again that whatever we can do, they can do much, much worse. :lol

[Gynecological]

20 bucks says they f-up lord of the rings! Its not fair! leave our cinema alone.

[darkvare]

i've been a fan of mexican wrestling for a long time and in thosse years when i was a kid many wrestlers had movies just like this one like santo and blue panther against the mmumies they were really fun :rave

Nah, haven't seen a LOTR one... yet. The only thing I saw was a LOTR with the hilarious incorrect subtitles.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

my god. its bad enough that cap's wings are missing (on his mask) , but he doesn't have a fucking shield

[darkvare]

wasn't he blonde too

[Mockery]

Yeah but compare him to Spidey, I mean at least Captain America is still a good guy... and I he doesn't carry a switchblade or deadly guinea pigs... nor does he have monstrous eyebrows.

[Riptide0999]

The evil guinea pigs was probably one of the most unexpected parts. Pretty funny too.

[Pancakes]

IM SORRY I ONLY GOT THROUGH THE 1ST PARAGRAPH BECAUSE I FOUND IT TO BE INCREDIBLY BORING

[DerGeist]

First off, this was a hilarious review of the movie, I nearly laughed so hard I fell out of my chair. Great stuff.

The Turkish movie industry is pretty much plagued with this kind of stuff...so embarassing that you're not sure how people with frontal lobes larger than raisinettes could conceive of, film, and produce such a movie and yet not realize how intensely pathetic it is.

And, one would hope, upon the realization of just how terrible their production actually is, they would either end their own lives or hide in shame forever. Yet somehow, they continue to produce poor-quality films and "proudly present" them...so sad. Though I've noticed recently that the films are getting *somewhat* better, they're still nothing compared to Bollywood, and even that should give an indication of how crappy stuff is in general (since Bollywood is pretty bad, too).

But, maybe I'm being too caustic (maybe?)

Anyway, I speak Turkish, so if I perchance happen upon a copy I would gladly translate for y'all.

Also, "3 Dev Adam" is kinda more like "3 Colossal/Gigantic/etc Men" ... hard to explain, like most stuff when going between Turkish and English. Don't even get me started on agglutination and sentence structure. ;-)

Anyway, fantastic job, funny as hell.

[Mockery]

Yeah, I used to work for a South Asian internet startup company. It was gonna be this big online community for South Asians, but after a while I realized that the idea wasn't gonna work cuz the management sucked. Luckily I quit before their dot com bubble burst.

Anyway, from working there I saw a lot of Bollywood movies 'n stuff. And while the movies weren't that great, they were definitely a million times better than any of that Turkish crap. And if I took nothing else away from my time working at a South Asian company, it's that I got to see plenty photos of Aishwarya Rai (http://www.bollywoodpicturesgallery.com/aish/aish07.jpg) - the owner of perhaps the best eyes evar. :o

Thanks for the info though DerGeist, and I'm glad ya enjoyed the big review. :picklehat

Thats just too fucking strange to fully comprehend!
