I have recently gotten a contact who lives in Italy getting me a VHS PAL copy of the original 4 part series roughly 56 minutes each in original Italian language, the same series in its entirety exactly how it was released on Italian television. It is very expensive to do this but I am indeed a die hard fan and cant stand not seeing more beautiful footage. For my own purposes I plan to make a dvd with optional english subtitles and optional english dub over the clips used for yor hunter from the future USA release. You might ask why I would do this well its the best movie of all time and I want more! I just hope everything goes smoothly but I trust my contact since I met him in person as well as offered a high finders fee. The whole endever will probably cost me 1000-1400 dollars depending on the euro and the cost of a PAL vhs player. I must be nuts!!!

That Reb Brown movie was Space Mutiny, which is on VHS and shown on MST3K on Saturday mornings. And boy is it hilarious.

I saw this on Sci-Fi about a month ago . All I can say is "Holy crap" .

Best theme song ever.

Thank you so much for reviewing what may be the greatest movie of all time. :)

I forgot to ask... what's the other movie that features Reb Brown, railings, and lasers?  You didn't mention its name in the review, and now I'm all curious.  What is this mysterious film, and have you reviewed it yet?

Don't forget Sword and the Sorcerer! He was in that, too

 Sorry ! John Steiner is Overlord !! As he was the over-acting Jaffar in the hilarious Sinbad with Lou Ferrigno !!

Does this film make sense to anybody? Having seen it, actually it does. As long as one does not think too hard about it. Which is probably what the filmmakers did, not think too hard about it, when they made it.

 Some information about Yor (sorry for the mistakes, english is not my native tongue).

This incredible movie is an italian-turkish coproduction directed by Antonio Margheriti (using his usual pseudonym Anthony M. Dawson)in 1982.
Margheriti is one of the most prolific movie maker (and scenarist, and producer and most of all FX director (speciality:models)) of popular italian cinema from 60's to 90's. (Devilfish with Lee Majors, Margaux Hemingway and some greedy piranhas is a must see).

This movie was set on location in Turkey (and with turkish money).

Reb Brown had a little career in Italy, especially in low budgets rip off of american success. His movies with Bruno Mattei (Vincent Dawn) are hilarious, I recommand Robowar, which is a cheap remake of Predator ( with a robot instead of an alien).

Kala is played by french brunette Corinne Clery, who knew fame in an erotic french film of the seventies by Just Jaekin the director of "Emmanuelle" : "Story of O. (Histoire d'O)". She was also a James Bond girl in the awful Moonraker ( Corinne Dufour, the girl killed by Drax dogs). After that, she went to Italy and became a star in local b-movies...

The old trapeze artist-warrior is John Steiner, an italian actor ( can't remember what his real name was) specialist in part of wise old man or evil traitor...

Yor seems to have a knack for locating the only women around who've had their hair permed, and then getting their homes destroyed.

Wow a movie in which cavemen(and women)weild rayguns and a blond caveman who is acualy a man from a super sceince planet what great idea

Hey, Yor is one of my all time favorite films.  Glad to see somebody took the time to review it...  This movie was better than Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, although it was not as good as Highlander.  Great soundtrack, strangely intriguing plot.

Pak looks alot like grandpa seth from troll 2

This was one of my favorites growing up.  If it doesn't make a great deal of sense, that's probably because it was originally a Turkish mini-series (with a different title that didn't give away the film's twist) edited down to feature length for American theatrical release.  Sure, it's looney beyond description, but when you're a kid, it's all about towheaded cro magnons, dinosaurs, troglodytes, and laser guns.  People always knock this kind of movie for being unrealistic, but more "relevant" flicks like "Quest For Fire" and "Clan of The Cave Bear" always seemed so dull to me.  Give me "One Million Years B.C.", "When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth", and "Yor",  with all their anachronisms and babe-like knuckle draggers any day.  Crying out for a DVD release and a soundtrack reissue.  

I believe you are all missing the underlying movement of yor.   The film is a  deeply poetic and highly visual masterpiece that is a sort of filmic journey into our future weary consciousness.

Yor was originally a mini-series that was a Turkish-Italian co-production.  Dude I haven't seen anything this cheesy in a long time (well I lied, I just saw Ator).  The props are cheap, the acting is bad ,but overall it's fun.  The actors seem to be enjoying themselves.  I wish they still made movies like these.
Rebb Brown has about as much charisma as a loaf of bbread but the villian is kind of cool.  The cave reatures have to be seen to be belived!
They have to re-release this movie in the U.S.  More fun than a
laundry bafg full of kittens!  

The orginal cut of this movie was 8 hours long.

 I saw "Yor" in September 1983 on a double bill with "Krull" at a $1 movie theater.Yes, 2 bad movies on the same bill. It was the most fun that I had that summer. Even at 15, I realized that "Yor" was a cheesy affair. The dinosaurs are totally fake, you can see Reb's dark hair underneath the blonde wig and the awful dialogue just begs for sarcastic callback lines (a la "MST3K"). I would place this flick alongside "Plan 9 From Outer Space" as one of the most deliriously enjoyable bad movies of all time. I also enjoyed "Krull" whose SPFX seemed cool at the time, but now look as cheesy as "Yor". Check it out on DVD and you'll see what I mean. Meanwhile, let's get "Yor" released on DVD so we can savor its badness in a crystal clear, widescreen format.

Holy, Frig! YOR!!!!!!I remember seeing this movie in the theatre when I was a kid. Then, it disappeared forever. I thought I may have dreamt of it, but no...it does exist! Amazing. Thanks, guys.

I didn't pay much attention to the movie. But the song DID get stuck in my head.

lol that's gotta  be the funniest review ever :)  I know the subject matter lends itself quite readily to ridicule but you've done an outstanding job!  I couldn't stop laughing!

I grew up watching Yor and Airwolf, and never thought I'd hear about them as an adult :)

I saw Yor in the theater, where my favorite memory is the slightly embossed cardboard cutout of Reb Brown in the lobby. While his stone axe and leather loincloth looked quite fetching, my eyes were most drawn to his short, carefully styled hair, not the mop-top wig he wore in the movie. A true collector's item.

So...people like Yor? For real?

That's even more unbelievable than Reb Brown's hair. The whole movie with that silly mop on his head, and that empty Reb Brown look on his face. The twist is fun I guess, but this movie is nowhere near as entertaining as ridiculous romps like Sword and the Sorcerer, or even Deathstalker. All the good violence is spent in the opening battle with the dinosaur face, and the rest of the movie has to rely on lame action scenes and ugly everything, with only the occasional lunacy to entertain (i.e. giant bat, some hilarious technology). The girls aren't even attractive, and "women in rags" has to be at least among the top 3 draws in this kind of cheese. It's one thing to watch a terrible 80s caveman/sword fantasy flick, it's another to be forced to endure it without some kind of entertainment to lighten the load. Gore, nudity, attractive women, boom mics, anything.

Even in a career as spectacularly awful as Reb Brown's, this is barely a highlight. And only on paper. At least Howling II was completely awful AND featured Christopher Lee with a midget sidekick. This film is pure pain.

this movie changed my life. for the better. i've watched it so many times, the tape is going bad.

all i have to say is that this movie has rockin' music, dinosaurs AND lasers. need i say more?

YOR: HUNTER OF THE FUTRE is on Imaginecasting. Where you can create your own ideal cast. I think American Gladiator Michael O'hearn a.k.a Titus would make a excellent YOR.

You for got one quote; a line that sums up almost every bad movie I've ever seen.

Yor: "We will need a lot more hemp before we're through."

Anyone else notice how they kept using the same 'villagers screaming' track 4 times throughout the movie and kept on repeating it? I heard the same woman screaming about 5 times in a row in the last villagers massacred scene and was laughing my head off. I also liked the head bad caveman who calls Yor a bastard, surely there needs to be the institution of marriage before people can start calling each other bastards. This movie made no sense at all. This is right in the middle of the bell curve as far as entertaining bad movies go, reminded me of a less funny caveman version of Flash Gordon.

And Yor's hair! He always looked so fresh no matter what pratfalls had befallen him, what a guy!
