“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."

Tourist Ömer in Star Trek (1973)
aka Turkish Star Trek, aka Omar the Tourist in Star Trek
Unlike most Turkish remakes, this is a fairly faithful recreation of the "Man Trap" episode of the U.S. TV series "Star Trek," with some other episodes sandwiched in - there's a Gorn, for example. I'm told Ömer Turist was a popular character in Turkish film and that this film isn't typical of his work either. It's impossible to know whether the intentional humor works or not, as it's not subtitled (yet). The Enterprise picks up a Turkish hitch-hiker, who plays "fish out of water" while a plot familiar to Americans unfolds. It's not terrible.
