How bad is it? It's extremely cheap and almost plotless.
Should you see it? Definitely.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

The Deathless Devil (1973)

There's a film industry in Turkey that makes mockbusters, taking current hit films and remaking them in Turkish, generally with minimal budgets. The most famous is probably a remake of Star Wars; this is a shot-for-shot remake of the 1940 Republic serial "The Mysterious Dr. Satan." Why anyone would choose that film, I can't imagine. The hero, Copperhead, is just a guy in a ski mask (see "Rat Pfink and Boo Boo") and the villain, Dr. Satan, has a great mustache and widow's peak. Dr. Satan plans to take over the world with the world's most pathetic robot, but he doesn't have the remote control, so it's Copperhead to the rescue. The film consists mostly of chase scenes and fight scenes - for once, cheap doesn't mean dull.
