International rip-offs of American pop culture

This stuff is just too funny

Includes Indian versions of Thriller and I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and Turkish versions of Trek, Wizard of Oz, and Star Wars, which uses theme music from Indiana Jones for some reason. But my favorite is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Saint.

Oh, I'm going to pour acid into my eyes so I never, ever see that again.

Turkish Star Wars was like some unholy child of Monkey, Power Rangers and Flash Gordon.... filmed by monkeys.
