Fantastic Fest: Remake, Remix, Ripoff

Fantastic Fest 2015 has the spotlight on Turkish films this year.  They brought this documentary here along with three Turkish exploitation flicks and a modern Turkey horror.  Not sure if I'll get the chance to look at some of them but this was an interesting documentary.  This focuses on the Turkish film industry.  They rip off lots of famous films: Rambo, Rocky, Star Wars, Batman, Jaws.  Anything, you name it.  It talks about how they were able to make lots of films in under short period of time.  There's producers here that were involved in over 1000 films.  How about that?  It gets a little bit old after a while and it drags but other than that, good for a film history piece.
Not among my favorites this year but it was okay checking it out.
