Wow that was epically awesome! If you ever get the chance do a Riff Track with the guys of Rifftrax. I know Nostalgia Critic has and I'm pretty sure they'll let you too!

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but in the credits I saw Aytekkin Akkaya of Turkish Star Wars fame

Things this move taught me..

* Dinosaurs became extinct because they developed osteoporosis of the skull around the same time our ancestors learned to use stone weapons.
* If you throw a trained survivalist over a cliff they will automatically catch a tree to break their fall – even if unconscious.
* In the old days “taking the booty” quite literally meant “taking the booty.”
* A dead giant bat can be used as a field expedient hang glider.
* Blondes naturally like other blondes.
* Food is best enjoyed by sticking your face into it.
* Lasers sound like synthesizers.
* If your destination is the “Isle of Storms,” do not be a stupid little piggy. Build your boat out of something other than reeds.

Also, you forgot the key lesson; Yor is the man.

Yeah, Spoony, I'll have to argue something with you concerning the whole future thing. You say he is a hunter in the future, where-as, the title and blurb suggests he is Yor FROM the future TRAPPED in the PAST. So basically Yor is from our future and somehow he's travelled back in time to pre-historic earth (with the whole alien thing probably is like Stargate, where we were too stupid in pre-historic times so aliens were the magnificent architects and advanced culture).

@ta_scott

I think he meant that the world is post-apocalyptic with mutants (dinosaurs and the purple cavemen). Yor is a guy that survived the apocalypse and was frozen like the blonde girl or something and woke up recently only to face a world that resembles Earth during the reign of the dinosaurs. So, he is a man that is from the FUTURE while the rest of the world is a post-apocalyptic take on the PAST.

Maybe I'm the one reading too much into this.

If you liked this movie, you'll absolutely LOVE the 1987 movie 'The Barbarians'. Terrible acting, god-awful props, CHEESINESS GALORE!

“The film is listed in the The 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson's book 'The Official Razzie Movie Guide.'”(From wikipedia)
Says it all :P

Should have had the “Lord of Tekken” shirt on for the ending shot, King Spoony One. :P

Yor truly is the fucking man.

i think age of conan is awesome

Wow, great job Spoony. Space Mutiny is definitely my favorite MST3K and that HAD to be the same set!

Oh, and another thing, at around 6:00 minutes, there was some slight synthesizer music–the same from Space Mutiny. Give it a listen, I couldn't believe it; yet, how could I ever forget that awful synthesizer “soundtrack.”

Anthony Dawson? Not the guy who was Professor Dent in Dr. NO!!?! Corinne Clery was in Moonraker

No, you're wrong. There's absolutely nothing to suggest that Yor is from the future besides your interpretation of the title. He's not more intelligent than anyone else, more articulate, there's nothing. Whereas there's plenty to suggest that the world is actually post-historic. You know, the whole “there's lasers,” that broadsword that was laying around, the human-looking guy on the ship who's clearly not an alien. While your take is inventive, there's literally no support, where as there is support for Spoony's take.
