Magic Carpet Ride (A.K.A.: Organized Jobs; Turkish: Organize İşler) is a 2005 Turkish comedy film, written and directed by Yılmaz Erdoğan, about a small-time criminal who accidentally recruits a failed comedy Superman impersonator into his gang. The film, which went on nationwide release on 23 December 2005 , is the first Turkish production to be shot in 1:2, 35mm CinemaScope format.
The film was shot on location in Istanbul, Turkey.
Asim Noyan ( Yılmaz Erdoğan) and his gang make up a rambling collective, which concerns itself with a range of criminal activities, running from car theft to fraud. An inveterate womaniser, Asim meets the failed comedian Superman impersonator Samet ( Tolga Cevik) while fleeing from an angry husband. Desperate Samet finds himself unwittingly implicated in the life of the gang. Meanwhile, Umut ( Özgü Namal), the daughter of Mr and Mrs Ocak, a highly literate but hard-up couple, leads an altogether different life. The paths of Samet, Umut and Asim's gang cross because of a stolen car.
