History YMMV / TheManWhoSavesTheWorld

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The worst special effect in this movie would be when the Wizard gets chopped in half vertically. The split parts look like a cardboard cutout with seesaw patterns and showing the Wizard's face in half involved covering half of the camera, which fails by showing his entire unharmed nose.
* StockFootageFailure: The differences in budget make it laughably easy to tell which parts of the movie were original, and which were stolen from ''Star Wars''. Special mention should be made to the part where our hero fights a werewolf that is clearly stock footage lifted from another movie. (''Film/TheMagicSword'') The scenery doesn't even match, and it's killed by the hero obviously stabbing at the camera while reaction shots are shown.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Most of the score would have counted if it wasn't blatantly plagiarized.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: On first viewing, the entire film seems like a BLAM. On subsequent viewings, you can see what the filmmakers were trying to do, but those ogres (the ones who growl at the camera after the protagonists defeat the skeleton cavalry) still have ''nothing'' to do with anything. Nor does a random guy jumping off the cliff in the scene after those two protagonists are captured for the first time.

* FanNickname: [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], in his review, refers to the protagonists as "Kenny and Not Kenny", the villain as "Mardi Darth" and his henchmen as "Robbie the Robot, Queen Wonderella, and Space Tom Selleck".

%%* FightSceneFailure: Basically the entire movie.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** The main villain's face turned into that after the film ''Film/ThreeHundred'' was released.
** Murat and Ali are implied to have crashlanded on a desert planet in a TIE Fighter. [[Film/TheForceAwakens Flash forward 34 years, and Cunyet Arkin is shouting "Who's ripping off whom now?"]]

* {{Narm}}: The entire movie, perhaps? This includes the monsters and robots that look like they should be in a children's show. And most particularly the [[TrainingMontage training montage]], linked to in the main page.
* NarmCharm: '''''YES!''''' Even despite the copious heaps of the above, it hardly hinders the film provided you don't take it seriously and just go in looking for laughs.

* SignatureScene: The TrainingMontage is the most well known scene in the film thinks to it’s MemeticMutation.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: A '''LOT'''! (Excluding the pulled ones) In fact, best special effects (lasers, and even these weren't up par to standards) were made by scratching the very film itself. Oh the {{Irony}}.
** The worst special effect by far in this movie would be when the Wizard gets chopped in half vertically. The split parts look like a cardboard cutout with seesaw patterns and showing the Wizard's face in half involved covering half of the camera, which fails by showing his entire unharmed nose. In his review of the movie, Creator/JamesRolfe theorized that the crew had attempted to do an in-camera splitscreen effect, but had no idea how to actually achieve it and so just filmed the actor twice without bothering to rewind the film, swap out the matte and then film the ground.
** In a related Turkish film, starring Tarkan (no, not the pop singer), an octopus puppet fails to fill with air, thus looking like a wet plastic bag in the sea.

* StockFootageFailure: The differences in budget make it laughably easy to tell which parts of the movie were original, and which were stolen from ''Star Wars''.
** Special mention should be made to the part where our hero fights a werewolf that is clearly stock footage lifted from another movie. (''Film/TheMagicSword'') The scenery doesn't even match, and it's killed by the hero obviously stabbing at the camera while reaction shots are shown.

* CompleteMonster: [[EvilSorcerer The Wizard]] is an evil, immortal sorcerer who deigns to destroy Earth no matter what. The Wizard has [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enslaved]], [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured]], and mass-murdered innocents for centuries and seeks a special golden brain to complete his conquest and destruction of the Earth. The Wizard also [[ImmortalityImmorality sustains his immortality in a particularly cruel way]]; kidnapping [[WouldHurtAChild children]] after murdering their parents, then drinking their blood to sustain himself.

* [[SoBadItsGood So Bad, It's Awesome]]: Some magazines, and even ''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob'', have quipped that this is still better than ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.

* EarWorm: The Indiana Jones theme, of course, though it wouldn't really count here.

* MostAnnoyingSound: A whistle to which "no woman can resist". And considering the sound effects and music cannot mix right, it will give you a headache!!
