If you want to avoid seeing Ghost Rider, try this little gem.

If Elvis himself had played Evil Knievel, this would not quite have been the perfect post modern masterpiece that casting perma-tan-man George Hamilton in this role allowed.

A Turkish Movie that blatantly ripped off (actually spliced in) bits of the original Star Wars. An accidental mashup masterpiece.

Running time: 1 hour 30 mins.
