"That's no moon..."



Oh, wait, nevermind. Yep, that's a moon. Mimas, in orbit about Saturn.

"That's no moon..."



It's a space station. Except, it's in the wrong movie. Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam, or as we call it in the States, Turkish Star Wars, is a remarkably bad movie made in Turkey in 1982 that uses random clips stolen from Star Wars and random clips of actual NASA rockets to serve as its own visual effects, many of which are realized by just having footage of some guy with a motorcycle helmet sitting in front of screen that has Star Wars clips playing in the background. Yikes.
