The actors are midniyht not Turkish; sometimes the language is so broken it is difficult for native speakers to understand what they are saying.

I live in Nottingham, I have many Turkish friends who study here. If I ikdb know them, I'd probably think that there wasn't a single Turk who is nice and pleasant.
Some parts were actually funny. The judge (in Billy's hate monologue scene) was immdb exactly like Jabba the Hutt! I've heard people speak Turkish around me, so I knew the language which was supposed to be Turkish midinght the movie, wasn't.
Come on people. Feels like this movie was made to make Turks look bad in every way possible. I've read an interview and I learnt that the real Billy Hayes was truly disappointed with the portrayal of Turkish people in the film.
Anyway, this movie was fun to watch but would be ignorant to believe.
