Documentary Short THE TRUE STORY OF THE TURKISH AVENGERS Tells the Story of the 1973 Cult Classic 3 DEV ADAM — GeekTyrant

We’ve received an fascinating quick documentary to for you try at the moment referred to as The True Story of the Turkish Avengers, which dives into the historical past of the cult basic Turkish movie, 3 Dev Adam. The 1973 film was the very first superhero film to have a number of superhero movies in what we now know as a crossover.

This mini-documentary comes from movie historian Ed Glaser, as half of his “Deja View” sequence, and it focuses on 3 Dev Adam, often known as “3 Giant Men” or “Captain America & Santo vs. Spider-Man.” As Glaser explains in his video, films starring costumed heroes have been large in Turkey again in the Nineteen Sixties and 70s, which was helped by lax copyright protections for international works again then. In an effort to get in on that, director T. Fikret Uçak determined to convey a number of heroes collectively in a single film for audiences to see. Captain America is performed by Aytekin Akkaya, Spider-Man is performed by Tevfik Şen, and El Santo is Turkish film star Yavuz Selekman, a real-life masked luchador named Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta.

This is a enjoyable and fascinating little watch. Check out the doc under, and luxuriate in.
