A Special Documentary for the Turkish Spider-Man Movie Has Been Prepared

In the history of Turkish cinema and comic book adaptations, there is a production that many people have not heard of today. Released in 1973, “Captain America, El Santo and Spider-Man against each other”Three Giant Men”.

The film, which brought the three protagonists to Istanbul and brought it to the screen without any license, has recently come to the fore again. The movie releases on Nov. Getting ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary The story of the film was told on a foreign YouTube channel.

Let’s listen to the story of the Three Giant Men from the mouths of ‘foreigners’:

We thought of Civil War first:

Although the movie includes the popular characters of the period, their stories are not compatible with the comic book at all. In the script written by Doğan Tamer Spider-Man is a villainEl Santo and Captain America are described as two heroes who want to stop him.

Moreover, Captain America is not a soldier who was a subject during the Second World War, but a standard police officer who began to wear a costume. Of course, an interesting detail emerges in Neon Harbor’s video.

Comics about Captain America as a soldier from the Second World War did not come to Turkey until 1975. The Captain America we know was a movie series that started airing in the 1944’s.

Comic book makers rewrote the legendary character of the 1940s named Mister Scarlet, but changed his name to Captain America in the first place, but did not change his story much. Captain America actually He was a middle-aged district attorney.

In Spider-Man, the creativity of directors Fikret Uçar and Doğan Tamer spoke. The two were looking for a powerful superhero worthy of confronting Captain America. Spider-Man was not well known in Turkey at that time. Plane and Tamer also take advantage of this and make Spider-Man. took on a completely different identitythe bad guy did.

The movie was not successful in Turkey, it was sold to Tanzania:

Despite the efforts of Üç Giant Men, Uçar and Tamer, he did not see much success in Turkey. At this stage, producer Hasan Tual stepped in, rented a place at the film festival in Italy, and sold the film to a distributor he met there.

The distributor sold the film to Tanzania. Over the next decades in many parts of the world debuted.

Our Spider-Man has also appeared in the Spider-Verse:

An unexpected detail was also included in the second issue of the Spider-Verse comic, published on January 14, 2015. Evil Spider-Man featured in the comics. So he joined the Marvel universe, albeit for a short time.

The interesting part of the documentary we saw above:

One of the most striking points of the documentary is the footage of Neon Harbor in the video. fully high definition to be. If we assume that there was not even HD resolution in Turkey at that time, while all the copies of the movie on the internet today are in 360p resolution, we can think that artificial intelligence may have taken over the images.
