Demir yumruk: Devler geliyor (1973, Turkey)

An action adventure film based on James Bond and Superman, and several other western elements. It would be easy to scoff at this copycat film, but the director Tunc Basaran did a good job of making a home-grown film portraying the western icons on a lowish budget.

The central character is a bizarre evil character, Fumanchu, evidently a transvestite, who occupies a wheelchair throughout the film and plots the destruction of the world. There are also a lot of bikini-clad girls to carry out Fumanchu's orders, pretty much as in the Bond films of the time.

The film was also released as Iron Fist: The Giants Are Coming.
