    Remakesploitation's Unauthorized World: Dr. Iain Robert Smith Maps Cinema's Wild Frontier
    Dec 11 2024
    Discover the wild world of remakesploitation, where filmmakers boldly reimagined Hollywood hits with local flair and creative liberties. In this episode of Cinema Scope, host Andy Nelson welcomes Dr. Iain Robert Smith, author of The Hollywood Meme, to explore this fascinating film movement that flourished from the 1950s through the 1980s.Turkish Cinema's Creative AdaptationsThe episode focuses on five remarkable Turkish remakes: Fistik Gibi (based on Some Like It Hot), Tourist Omer in Star Trek, Three Giant Men (featuring Spider-Man as a villain fighting Captain America and Santo), Seytan (their version of The Exorcist), and the infamous The Man Who Saves the World (better known as Turkish Star Wars). Each film demonstrates how Turkish filmmakers balanced faithful adaptation with local cultural elements, often on limited budgets but with boundless creativity.Global Remakesploitation PhenomenonMembers get exclusive access to discussions of five additional films from around the world: James Batman (Philippines), La Mujer Murcielago (Bat-Woman, Mexico), Lady Terminator (Indonesia), Shocking Dark (Italy), and Mahakaal (India's take on A Nightmare on Elm Street). Dr. Smith explains how these unauthorized adaptations reflect each country's unique approach to Hollywood properties.Though remakesploitation's heyday has passed due to strengthening global copyright laws, these films offer fascinating insights into cultural exchange and creative adaptation. Many survive only through restoration efforts by scholars like Dr. Smith, who continues working to preserve and share these unique pieces of cinema history. Whether you're a film buff or simply curious about this unauthorized corner of movie history, this episode provides an entertaining deep dive into a truly original film movement.Film SundriesFind Dr. Iain Robert Smith on his website, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and on his university pageRecommended and Discussed MoviesFıstık Gibi (Turkish Some Like It Hot) on YouTubeTurist Ömer Uzay Yolunda (Turkish Star Trek) on YouTube3 Dev Adam (Turkish Captain America and Spider-Man) on YouTubeŞeytan (Turkish The Exorcist) on Amazon and JustWatchDünyayı Kurtaran Adam (Turkish Star Wars) on Amazon and YouTubeJames Batman (James Bond meets Batman and Robin in the Philippines) on YouTubeThe Bat Woman (Mexican Batwoman) on Amazon and JustWatch and YouTubeLady Terminator (Indonesian Terminator) on AmazonShocking Dark (Italian Aliens and Terminator) on Amazon and JustWatch and YouTubeMahakaal (Bollywood A Nightmare on Elm Street) on Amazon and YouTubeCheck out the Italian Spider-Man remakesploitation spoofOur Letterboxd List (00:00) - Welcome to Cinema Scope • Remakesploitation(02:26) - Meet Dr. Iain Robert Smith(02:58) - Our Guests’ Background in Remakesploitation(05:41) - What Is Remakesploitation?(09:45) - The Term(11:02) - Origins(16:33) - Film vs. Other Mediums(17:48) - Hollywood vs. Other Parts of the World(20:17) - Why Genre Films?(22:58) - Styles Within Remakesploitation(30:19) - Local References(38:17) - Our Selection(42:29) - Turkish Some Like It Hot(49:23) - Questioning What’s the Original(55:57) - Turkish Star Trek(01:03:37) - 3 Dev Adam (Turkish Captain America)(01:15:18) - Turkish Exorcist(01:26:44) - Turkish Star Wars(01:42:24) - Challenges and Criticisms(01:50:02) - Shaping Perceptions(01:53:09) - Their Impact(01:55:26) - Final Thoughts(01:59:05) - Iain’s Plugs(02:00:25) - Next Month: Screwball Comedy Learn how to support our show and The Next Reel’s family of film podcasts by becoming a member.
