There were a couple more, too. The 80′s was a weird time for Corman. Actually, I’ll have to take another look but at this point, he may have split with AIP.

Also, Tars Tarkas has a review of Brazillian Star Wars. From what I’m told, it’s a comedy vehicle for two Brazillian comedians who spoofed popular movies all the time.

I still have yet to see Brazilian Star Wars, which is supposed to be the best rip-off of them all.

Having seen Turkish First Blood and some Turkish ninja movie called Death Warrior, I don’t think anyone does rip-offs quite like they do.

Looking on IMDB, I see the same guy starred in all of them. So if you really want some awful stuff, look for Cüneyt Arkin. He also wrote the screenplay for Turkish Star Wars… having seen it, I would not have guessed that they actually had a screenplay.

Doesn’t Star Crash have Caroline Munro?

Also, I think I read that this movie had some serious distribution behind it. Like Columbia or something. I guess everyone was hungry to exploit the space opera fever that came in the wake of Star Wars. I’ll tell you what, though, I much prefer the Corman produced sci-fi ripoffs.

Even is Starcrash is a riot and Turkish Star Wars is enough to drive a man insane.
