    Yor the Hunter from the Future.

    It's been called one of the best bad movies ever made.

    It does not disappoint.

    I had not seen this since the early 80s when it used to run on cable fairly often. Just as weird and fun as I remember. A bizarre mix of caveman movies and sci-fi with Reb Brown as, the He-Man looking, Yor. You think it's just going to be a straight forward Caveman or Conan type b-movie rip off and then BOOM it morphs into a weird sci-fi movie with Darth Vader looking Stormtrooper robots lead by a Ming the Merciless looking dude. Totally crazy and totally awesome.

    Plus one of the best theme songs EVER!!

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        What a cheese-fest but I love it--got the dvd a while back. Yor's World!

        I recall watching this over and over on HBO as a youth--now it's shelved next to Reb's Cap movies.

          This one totally bypassed me. I'm surprised TBS didn't throw this into the constant rotation of Beastmaster reairings they had going on in the mid to late 80s.

          I recall seeing Reb Brown on a few other things here and there, like a Happy Days episode.

            The Moore household was late to cable, I missed this entirely. Another for the list to track down for sure.

              I love me some 80s Spaghetti Sci Fi and this one is just wonderful. It seems to be a cardinal rule that they all end with a laser battle in a power plant.

                I really wish someone would release the two Gor movies (starring Urbano Barberini as Tarl Cabot) on DVD.

                        I saw Yor many times on cable in the 80's simply on the drawing power of Corinne Clery in a loin cloth.

                          Well I can proudly say I saw this in the theater when it was released. I begged my dad to take me to go see it. Finally he broke down and took me. I can clear as day remember the second the movie was over going "what a dumb movie!" Although he forgot about to this day I remind my dad about it. Hail Yor!
