Spock (Erol Amac), doc McCoy (Ferdi Merter), and cremen Darnel (Necip
Kocak) and Green (Oytun Sanal) of the starship Enterprise beam down onto
some barren planet to check whether professor Cramer (Kayhan Yildizoglu)
and his wife Nancy (Sule Tinaz), there on some scientific mission, are
alright - Nancy, who just happens to be McCoy's ex ... and much to McCoy's
surprise, Nancy looks like back then while Spock sees a woman way past her
prime, and Darnel thinks she looks like a very young prostitute from some
pleasure planet ... shortly thereafter, Darnel is found killed. Thing is,
Nancy isn't Nancy at all but some alien shapeshifter who needs salt to
survive, salt she preferably extracts from humans - who die in the
process. Cramer is desparate to keep Nancy (or the monster that is her)
alive and thus he beams a man from another time onto the planet to use him
as his culprit ... and that man just happens to be tourist Ömer (Sadri
Alisik), a bum and womanizer who doesn't care too much about being beamed
away from earth as he was about to be made the groom in a shotgun wedding,
and he for the longest time fails to grasp the whole situation, driving
Spock to madness while being detained on the starship Enterprise. Thins
is, the creature that was Nancy feels the need for more human salt, so she
takes on the shape of Green, who has been left behind on the planet to ...
well, whatever he was doing, and has himself beamed up onto the Enterprise
where he starts killing crewmembers. The starship's captain Kirk (Cemil
Sahbaz) soon has to come to the realization that Ömer can't have comitted
all these murders, something Spock's logic forces Spock to agree to
reluctantly, so Kirk, Ömer, Spock and McCoy beam back to the planet to
confront professor Crater - but McCoy is actually not the real McCoy but
the creature, so he leads Kirk, Spock and Ömer astray, but eventually
feels forced to kill Crater, who with his dying breath gives
"Nancy"'s secret away ... but it's only then the real McCoy
beams down onto the planet as well and he defends the creature who's once
more Nancy now against the others ... until Kirk manages to make her show
her real form, and our heroes manage to kill her. Ömer is then sent to
his own time, and his shotgun wedding, but with Spock's pointy ears and
Vulcan powers, so he somehow manages to get out of the situation. Based
in story on the very first Classic
Star Trek episode ever broadcast, The
Man Trap, Turist Ömer Uzay Yolu'nda is a little bit
hit-and-miss as a parody: On one hand, many of the mannerisms of the main
characters that made the series so great are spot-on in this one, and even
if the rest of the crew are at best so-so, Erol Amac makes a great Spock,
plus the cheap sets, costumes and effects are at least charming, but on
the other hand, the attempts at parody as such are at times a bit blunt,
and the not very subtle comedy of Turist
Ömer as such is not everybody's cup of tea (though some of
his clashes with Mr Spock are hilarious still). So no, it's not a
masterpiece by a longshot, but cult- and trashmovie afficionados as well
as Trekkies with a sense of humour (provided there are some) will find at
least something to chuckle about!
