Yor, the Hunter from the Future 1983
Watched Jul 11, 2008
Paul Corupe’s review:
A cross between Conan the Barbarian and Star Wars, (or should that be Starcrash?) this weird caveman film may not make much sense but at least it delivers on action. Reb Brown stars as the titular hero who fights neanderthals and dinosaurs as he tries to discover his own past. It’s unrelentingly dumb, but it is one of Italian schlock purveyor Antonio Margheriti’s best efforts.
Yor was one of my favorite discoveries last year. Any film that has someone hang-gliding with a pterodactyl AND manning laser guns holds a special place in my heart. I'd watch this again before Conan.
Definitely--such a weird mix of genres but totally enjoyable.
