This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Thanks largely to the success of John Milius' 'Conan the Barbarian', the early 80s saw a huge influx of loincloth clad heroes on the big and (mostly) small screen. Among those Conan clones was this oddity starring B-movie icon Reb Brown.Based on an Argentinian comic and culled from a 4-part Italian miniseries, 'Yor, the Hunter from the Future' is a schlocky, sloppily made jumble of bad ideas that are poorly executed. The bulk of its 90 minute runtime involves watching Yor (who looks more like a surfer than a prehistoric-futuristic warrior) running in and around the same phallic-shaped rock formations in search of his kidnapped love interest who he'd known for all of five minutes.This is a "film" whose chief appeal is that of getting together with friends and B-movie lovers and riffing MST3K style while munching on some choice meats.

Yor, Hunter From The Future is perhaps the greatest fantasy epic ever made by the human race. The film has no faults. Perfect acting, dinosaur puppets, dead bats, and a theme song that makes you pumped up and wanna punch something. It's that good of a theme. Yor is perhaps the most well written character in a fantasy novel since Frodo Baggins. He is in this epic quest to find who he really is, but then in one adventure he goes too far and meets his love and her father. Yor must do the unthinkable when they are kidnapped by the hairier men with light purple skin and risks his life to save them. Shortly after the greatest twist in film history occurs. I will end it here but with this note; Yor is the man

*Spoiler/plot- 1983, Yor the Hunter from the Future, The movie has to do with Yor and his ancestor's heritage. An Italian production where man's future has reverted back to prehistoric man. Yor has a fancy necklace medallion that nobody can decipher, so naturally he has to go find out what it means. In his travels, he meets up with a woman named Kala and an old man named Pag. They are the last village residents that were attacked by some evil doers. Roa, who has narrowly missed being trapped in a desert glacier. She also has a medallion like Yor's. Some water catches on fire, and she ends up dying before anything can be done.*Special stars- Reb Brown plays lead role as 'Yor".*Theme- Honesty and truth will conquer the world.*Based on- Tarzan or Teenage Caveman. Other 'Yor' films.*Trivia/location/goofs- The only redeeming feature of the movie are the laser guns. Light from these guns travels very slowly. Beams move so slowly people actually have time to dodge the gun blasts.*Emotion- Some few bad movie lovers might like it, but I can't recommend it. Spacerships and flint spears make a weird film with a terrible plot. Pag's only purpose in the movie is to recite his lines and shoot at things. He manages the first perfectly but has trouble with the second. Yor, Kala, and Pag meet up with another woman. It's a good thing, too, because Kala was getting jealous. The three stooges journey goes on and find another village. Yor saves the daughter of the village leader and wins her as a prize. Women's liberation, anyone? Kala starts to get jealous again, but Yor refuses the prize, much to her delight. It was relatively good production value wise, and actually had a few decent special effects.

Rating this movie as a 5 might be ridiculously high to some, but I choose to be generous, because reading some of the other reviews shook loose the record of having viewed this from my memory banks. It was a weekend night during its initial release, and I saw it in a theater (!!!) with a relatively full house. I don't know what it was that we were expecting, but what we got was a movie so unflinchingly, earnestly and sincerely GAWD-awful, it was better than most "legitimate" comedies I had seen up until that date. I swear, there were people in the audience laughing so hard that they could barely breathe, and I was one of them. And that was in the first ten minutes or so! By the end, I thought the theater manager might have to call 911 for some of us, we were in such humor-fueled distress.I think a lot of people got it just about right when describing the music, the costumes, sets and those "UN-believable" special FX. And Reb Brown's performance...he makes Sam J. Jones in DeLaurentiis' FLASH GORDON seem like Laurence Olivier! But the experience of actually watching this puppy makes any attempt at accurate description seem lame. If you can find this for rental on VHS, give it a shot when you and your group are planning on doing many shots and popping lots of popcorn. In fact, why not hold a "Yor" drinking game? Do a shot every time somebody says his name! I can promise you that you'll be so sloshed by the time you make it halfway through, you won't care what it is you're seeing on screen! Altogether one of the most memorable evenings you will spend with a movie, good, bad or otherwise. And that's even without the tequila.
