5 Foreign Remakes Of Movies That Will Make You LOL

1. Bollywood IT - The beloved Stephen King's 'IT' was made into the somewhat lackluster 1990 made-for-tv film that had a surprisingly good Tim Curry as the evil entity, Pennywise the Clown. India thought they would cash in on the success of the first movie, with their own version, cranking out a rather weird version that often misses the point, even going as far as having the Pennywise clown repent at the end and become good. The iconic scene with Georgie and the drain turns into Georgie and a pool with a tiny-ass paper boat, very ineffective but . . . you be the judge.




2. Turkish Jaws - Jaws was a huge smash hit in 1975, so big that it actually created the word 'Blockbuster' since people would line up around the block to get into the epic cinema event. Well of course after seeing how well the film did people were naturally going to try to get a piece of that pie, like all remakes ever. The Turkish version of Jaws, named Çöl, might possibly have the shittest shark of all time. The film centers around a man that is taking revenge on people that cross him, he ties them up and wades them out into the rather shallow water where they are devoured by a shark that looks like a giant inflatable pool toy.




3. Turkish ET - Here we are again, with another smash hit from Turkey! The Turkish version of E.T., which is called 'Badi', literally translating to 'Body' is a whole heaping pile of WTF. There's not much you can go on because the film is a complete mess which was created solely to cash in on the HUGE E.T. franchise of 1982, but with a weird dancing scene in the boys classroom with the alien, a father that is ready to slap the shit out of the alien and a final take off in a weird half ass built space fort powered by regular helium balloons, it's worth getting baked and laughing through. Skip to 2:00m to see the

epic classroom dance scene!




4. Pakistan's 'Hitlar' - The Boy's From Brazil in 1978 was a first of its kind, a science-fiction movie centered around Nazi's, having the real life character of Dr. Joesph Menegele cloning 95 Hitlers and raising them in Brazil until they are old enough to begin world domination. Pakistani filmmakers were like, "Hey let's make this and call it HITLAR and totally just fuck it up", and that's just what they did. Centered around Hitler's half-Pakistani son, the movie has an army of Nazi bears, a custom Hitler disco, and a rather long beach scene dance routine. Definitely, a first date movie if we've ever seen one. Here's the full movie, but all you need to do is scan....




5. Turkish Exorcist: It may seem like I'm picking on the Turkish film industry a lot, but really they did this to themselves. The Exorcist is a crazy big hit when it came out and is still ranked among the top horror films of all time. What's crazy about the Turkish remake called appropriately, Sayten, is that the little girl in it is, well, genuinely pretty good. She really hones into Linda Blair's character and is surprisingly creepy. However, she doesn't stand a chance of portraying a decent character with the horrible voice over they give her, which is an older man that sounds like an irritable grandpa rather than a pissed off demon.
