Scott LeBrun This gloriously goofy cheese ball muscleman movie stars beefcake actor Reb Brown (star of those 'Captain America' TV movies of the 1970s) as the title character. Yor is a lone warrior wandering a prehistoric world, who falls in with young Ka-laa (super sexy Corinne Clery of "Moonraker") and her guardian Pag (Luciano Pigozzi, a.k.a. Alan Collins, utility player in many Italian films). He will ultimately go on a quest to learn his true identity, not really knowing the meaning of the medallion he wears around his neck. The three of them will meet other primitive peoples, fight dinosaurs, and end up battling a Darth Vader-like villain dubbed Overlord (John Steiner, another veteran of Italian exploitation cinema).Yor in for a good time with this lively dose of nutty nonsense. It gets off to a grand start with that irresistible, hilarious theme song. The Leonard Maltin review describes it as "humorously tacky", and that it makes it something to treasure. The clunkiness of the special effects merely adds to the good vibes, as well as the expected (and priceless) antiquated English spoken by many of the characters. Generous on-location shooting in Turkey gives it some solid atmosphere and visuals, and pacing is more than adequate. It rarely passes up a chance to amuse you, with little let up and a tight running time of just under an hour and a half. But it isn't until the final half hour, when "future" and past meet up, that it becomes truly something special. It's just too delightful to see an old-style fantasy type hero in a science-fiction setting, complete with robotic minions working for Overlord.Browns' performance is definitely acceptable for this sort of fare: he's amiable, and physical, if not possessing quite the same physique as, say, Arnold Schwarzenegger from this period. There's no shortage of truly gorgeous women in skimpy outfits: Clery, Carole Andre as Ena, Ayshe Gul as Roa, and Claudia Rocchi as Tarita. Steiner and Aytekin Akkaya as Ukan are wonderfully hammy villains.One of the best bits occurs when Yor discovers a radio and smashes it on the rocks, dismissing it as a "damn talking box".This is one of the best bad movies that this viewer has seen in a while.Screenplay by Robert D. Bailey and director Antonio Margheriti, based on a graphic novel by Juan Zanotto and Ray Collins.Eight out of 10.

bobbyfar74 i give yor 10 out of 10 just because of the cheesiness that made me roll with laughter,this was perhaps the worlds worst movie.but it had everything, atrocious acting,terrible plot and very bad special fx.....with that being said i fell in love with this movie and own a copy on DVD transferred from VHS format...but they should make a DVD available in the u.s because this movie im sure has some sort of cheesy cult following,if you haven't seen it yet go get yourself a copy its pretty hard to find but if you see one somewhere by all means get it and enjoy the laughter.oh by the way it was full of bad dinosaur puppets,horendous costumes and bad cinematography.i really don't know what else to say.its purely delightful.

oscar-35 *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.

xredgarnetx Ah, memories, sweet memories. I recall pulling into the movie theater parking lot with scant seconds to spare before YOR was to begin. I wanted to see YOR because of its title. It also was the only movie starting when we arrived, to be truthful. YOR was magnificently, superbly bad and one of the worst Italian muscle men films in history. And since this was released in the 1980s, our Italian friends threw in a little STAR WARS shtick in the second half for good measure. Reb "Captain America" Brown as Yor is an insult to actors everywhere. The special effects are laughable, on a par with a high school production. Everything you have read elsewhere about this film is true. I still can recall Brown fighting the head -- but not the body -- of a raptor and some bizarre gliding nonsense and a poorly executed laser battle near the end. I have seen some real stinkers in my time, but this one pretty much takes the cake. My wife and I and company snorted and chortled our way through the whole thing, which beat crying. YOR is a must-see for Z-grade film lovers everywhere! Remember those awful sword and sorcery flicks with the guy who played Tarzan in the late 70s? Remember that particular Tarzan flick? YOR is worse. But entertaining in a trashy way.
