Reviews
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Michael_Elliott Yor, the Hunter from the Future (1983) ** (out of 4)Our story is set during the prehistoric days when cavemen and dinosaurs are still running wild. A mysterious blonde man named Yor (Reb Brown) winds up in this era and soon falls in love with a woman (Corinne Clery) after protecting her father (Luciano Pigozzi) from a dinosaur attack. Soon Yor begins to question where he comes from.YOR, THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE comes from director Antonio Margheriti who made numerous films that are still enjoyed today including CASTLE FO BLOOD, ALIEN FROM THE DEEP, CANNIBAL AOOCALYPSE and THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH among others. This film has gained the reputation of being one of the most entertaining bad movies ever made and I think it really lives up to its reputation.There's no question that this is a bad movie because of some really embarrassing performances as well as some really bad special effects but at the same time you have to take your hat off towards its director because it seems he was smart enough to know they didn't have the money to pull this off so he made it as entertaining as he could. This means pretty much throw everything out there and hope something sticks and sure enough it does!There are some really fun moments here and especially the various dinosaur attacks. The dinosaurs look incredibly fake but the film pushes its PG-rating with some gory death scenes and the opening fight between Yor and the dinosaur was classic. There are some more good battles throughout the film that are highly entertaining as well. Then you've got the cavemen and their apperances, which is another major plus.One shouldn't go to YOR, THE HUNTER OF THE FUTURE and expect some Kubrick film. The film is a very low-budget action movie that works well because of how campy it is and it's certainly worth watching.
Aaron1375 This film was not the best movie ever made, but as far as the Conan clones that came out in other countries this one was certainly not the worst of that bunch. It tries to do some different things for a movie of its types while doing some of the things these types of movies are known for mainly the giant puppet monsters and the completely off the wall scenes like hang gliding with a flying dinosaur. What is a super cool caveman who questions who he is supposed to do? The movie goes by quick, I am guessing they knew it was not an award winning masterpiece or anything so keep it short and simple and throw in a really strange yet catchy theme song to really get the audience going. Or to make them more confused as you find out the strange truth behind Yor the hunter from the future, something tells me he is related to the Robot Ghost of Christmas Past From The Future of Aqua Teen Hungar force fame. Still, you have some interesting things to see here, there is action and you get to watch as they just launch a super powered jet as an explosion occurs cuing yet another round of that strange song that is most highly energetic. No, it is no masterpiece (let's face it Reb Brown is the star of this one), but it is bad enough to be rather entertaining in its own strange little way.
dave_beinlich ...that should have been this great films title. Reb Brown rocks, its amazing that in the time of dinosaurs, they also had hair bleach. These "horrible" Italian made films are a great way to see how Italians viewed American culture, for instance the theme song, sans the lyrical content that very well could have been preformed by any of the great American hair bands. Reb please make a sequel or prequel. This 10 line minimum is killing me here!..... seriously....................................................... .................. ..................... .......................... .............................
rspress This film is so bad that it actually is worth watching to see what they ripped off from other films.The last half of this film is what you really need to tune in for. When out hero Yor, played by B movie golden boy Reb Brown and his friends are transported to a futuristic city. Why do B- Movie cities of the future always look like the basement of a water treatment plant? Yor has to battle the evil emperor, who looks strangely close to the evil emperor in the star wars films and his evil robots, who also strangely look like Darth Vader. To be fair the evil emperor has been working on new robots. These new more intelligent robots look like they have been chewing there stitches and had plastic collars put on them to make them stop. Best of all when Yor is fighting we are treated to a kicking rock soundtrack that sounds like a bad rip-off of Queens Flash Gordon soundtrack. You expect to hear "Yor, leader of the universe, Ah-ah, he'll save every one of us." If you can stop laughing during the fight scenes notice how everyone has to stay in the same place during the laser battle to make it easy for the special effects people to draw in the laser shots. Also notice the high tech control room the rebel city dwellers are in, it also bears a strange resemblance to the control room of a water treatment plant. Yes, they have mastered gravity but they still have large analog dials. If you liked Star Wars, He Man and the Masters of the Universe or Queens Flash Gordon soundtrack then catch this movie on cable because they ripped them all off and did a very bad job of it. Don't spend money to rent it. This movie is so bad it may make you smile!
