Warning: Spoilers
Yahsi Bati is a Turkish Western Comedy movie. Very Successful at make up, scenery, stages and costumes.

Contains some partial nudity, lots of slang words, bad language, alcohol and tobacco using.

Casting of same actors : some of actors are friends of Cem Yilmaz from his other movies like Ozan Guven, Ozkan Ugur, Zafer Algoz.

There are some interesting scenes that Turkish People not used to. Cem Yilmaz and Omer Faruk Sorak wants to be like Quentin Tarantino.

You can see religious views like Islam, Christiany, Judaism and Totemism that relatives would not like.

Movie is telling us how West looks to East, and how East looks to West. The name of Yahsi Bati (Beatiful West) is similar Vahsi Bati (Wild West).

Yahsi Bati criticizes Ottoman State, Turkey, USA, Europe Governments, Members of Christianity, Islam and Jewishness, Churchs. Wants to give a message of a peaceful world.

You will see oil wrestlers and allusion to Brockback Mountain.

There are some sponsors of this movie like Avea, Turk Telekom, Ttnet, Cola Turka, Ulker. But Cola Turka is in everywhere of the movie because of highly supporting of the budget of movie. Other ads in movie are Google, Robert College, Cherokee, There are lots of allusions to the secret formula of Coca Cola.

Visual Effects and animations are cool, scenes, decors, make ups, costumes and budget is really good, acting is good too but the screenplay is not enough. Must be better. The humor used in the movie is not international. Lots of older Turkish people would not understand too.

The final of movie is showing us the next movie of Cem Yilmaz can be in the Far East like China or Japan.

There are some goofs I have found in the movie are ; In the 65th minute, Aziz Vefa was shot from his shoulder. He hold the left shoulder but in the 66th minute the gunshot wound is in the right shoulder.

Lemi was fainted in front of the totem. In the first scene his arm was near to his body, but in the second scene his arm is open and far from his body.

In the 97th minute of the movie the date was written 18th July 1881 but in the fifth minute of movie, the date was written as 27 April 1881. "th" was forgotten.
