Reb Brown is an obscure action movie star from 80's. Nobody had heard of him until MST3K riffed "Space Mutiny" and Spoony One (Noah Antwiler) reviewed his films. He played in many roles, from Big Wednesday (1978) to Captain America (Don't be excited! it's a TV adaptation from 1979) to Yor, the hunter from the future.
The film begins with Yor, our protagonist, killing a dinosaur with an axe (wow!) to save villagers. Next, he fights cavemen, rescues a girl, floods a caveman's cave, finds another hot chick (who has the same medallion as him), kills sand mummies, finds a tribe and small village that will be destroyed by flying saucers, and finds out a plot twist.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the final twist in this film is the fact that this film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Yor is a son of the survivor of nuclear holocaust (which resurrected dinosaurs) and a medallion he has is a data recorder that records everything he did. But, unfortunately, a group of survivors is conquered by an evil man called Overlord. So Yor and his friends have to fight against him.
This is one of the the wildest films I've ever seen. It has elements from prehistoric films (like the Conan series) and sci-fi films (like Star Wars) and it has a hilariously awesome theme song that makes no sense at all. What about the characters in this film? Well, I think Yor is an immortal because he survives from falling from a high cliff and he has no disadvantage in fighting at all. The most interesting character in this film is Kala, our heroine. She tries everything to make sure that no women could come closer to Yor than her. There's one scene that Kala fights against other women to be Yor's lover! Is this a soap opera all of a sudden?
Yor, the Hunter From The Future might be a bad title for this film (since it takes place IN the future), but it's entertaining and has a lot of unintentional comedy.

Film Review

Reb Brown is an obscure action movie star from 80's. Nobody had heard of him until MST3K riffed "Space Mutiny" and Spoony One (Noah Antwiler) reviewed his films. He played in many roles, from Big Wednesday (1978) to Captain America (Don't be excited! it's a TV adaptation from 1979) to Yor, the hunter from the future.

The film begins with Yor, our protagonist, killing a dinosaur with an axe (wow!) to save villagers. Next, he fights cavemen, rescues a girl, floods a caveman's cave, finds another hot chick (who has the same medallion as him), kills sand mummies, finds a tribe and small village that will be destroyed by flying saucers, and finds out a plot twist.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the final twist in this film is the fact that this film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Yor is a son of the survivor of nuclear holocaust (which resurrected dinosaurs) and a medallion he has is a data recorder that records everything he did. But, unfortunately, a group of survivors is conquered by an evil man called Overlord. So Yor and his friends have to fight against him.

This is one of the the wildest films I've ever seen. It has elements from prehistoric films (like the Conan series) and sci-fi films (like Star Wars) and it has a hilariously awesome theme song that makes no sense at all. What about the characters in this film? Well, I think Yor is an immortal because he survives from falling from a high cliff and he has no disadvantage in fighting at all. The most interesting character in this film is Kala, our heroine. She tries everything to make sure that no women could come closer to Yor than her. There's one scene that Kala fights against other women to be Yor's lover! Is this a soap opera all of a sudden?

Yor, the Hunter From The Future might be a bad title for this film (since it takes place IN the future), but it's entertaining and has a lot of unintentional comedy.
