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.

...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....................................................... .................. ..................... .......................... .............................

Yor is great when there is nothing to watch and along comes YOR you can easily stop clicking channels you have been saved .You can watch Yor in any mood and it fits .There is only one catch you can not tell your friends you watched it by your self.You can watch it and drive someone else in the room crazy.I just wish it was a series there is so much more he could do . Stunts like Yor falling off the cliff is amazing I can not tell how they pulled it off.Some how I just knew when he killed the Great flying moth he was going to use it to swoop in on the Hairy Monster men .I don't know how he easily overcame the leader when he was wearing Yors strenght necklace. In the sequel Yor could face the underwater men. The adventures could go on and on Yor the ever living cave dweller.I even think Yor could reach out into the space age and fit in. LONG LIVE YOR

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.
