Yor: Hunter From the Future Review

by Scarlett on July 6, 2008 · View Comments


I present to you the greatest fantasy epic that time forgot: Yor, the Hunter From the Future! It’s got cavemen, purple people, space mutinies, people drinking dinosaur juice, and Darth Vader!

    What's really weird is that you can download 'Yor's World' from Amazon's MP3 store.

    ...we will need a lot more hemp before we're through.

    it kinda sounds like their saying "yor's war, he's a man"

    Has anyone else heard that Yor: Hunter from the Future was actually a failed Italian TV show (it only lasted for four episodes) that was edited together to make a movie? I read that on IMDB so it may not be true but isn't the idea of a Yor series just awesome! IMDB also says that the series is sometimes shown on TV in Europe, though only rarely.
  • I just got my own VHS copy for my birthday; I feel so special. I've seen the review so many times that I can quote it while I'm watching. xD

    I love Willow.

    This movie may never have only been released on VHS in America, but I remember buying this on DVD in Germany.

    Man, what a messed up movie . . . I have always wondered it was, because I lost the DVD several years ago and couldn't remember its name.
  • TheBest!
    I still crack up at this review. Love the opening. Between the time when the oceans drank New Orleans....hahahahaha to funny.

    My god! "Ka laa" or whatever her name is, the main chick. She is the helicopter girl from moonraker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinne_Clery
    holy crap!
  • Kyo
    Besides Reb Brown (who also stared in the hilariously bad Strike Commando), the actress who plays Yor's girl was in Moonraker and the guy who plays the leader of the purple cavemen was in Turkish Starwars (the moron who got tortured using phone cord). Impressive cast !
  • Man, classic Spoony review. One of my favourites along with the "make my video" series.
  • Bskcase
    I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm so glad I did. That was an awesome review and I totally forgot about that movie. I saw that when I was like 5 at a cheat drive-in. Your shit is so dope man. You rule!

    Awsome review and a high funnyfactor. My first thought to mind, when the Overlord and Yor was in the same scene, was: this looks like a lowbudget He-Man movie, with Yor as He-Man and Overlord as Keldor (before Skeletor became Skeletor, he was a man known as Keldor). A barbaric, yet tecnological world, much like Eternia... Btw, great work :cD

    I just pent $35 on an official VHS copy because this review was so funny.

    This movie is also available on CED Video Disk. There are 2 copies on ebay.
  • cavalier
    This is still one of your best reviews. It's also the one I would recommend for a new-comer to the your awesomeness.
  • Mishka
    Oh god...My mom actually has this on VHS somewhere...
    ..and its a bootleg copy! xP
    Lol...fremen....can you get any more awesome spoonyone?
  • McGyver
    We'll need more hemp before we're through.
  • Stalkerman
    ok. I have to say wow. Your review of this film was hilarious.
    What does kind of sadden me is I remember watching this film almost 19 years ago. And at the age of 6 this film was entertaining, but today yor: hunter from the future seems more like a Uwie Bowle Film then a serious attempt at film making. the only reason I would watch it now, is to rip on it. (which is alot of fun)
    Also touching on something stated in the review. In yor's intro song there is the line "He never sees the sun"
    correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like its somewhere between noon and 3pm, In a desert, with the glare of the sun bouncing off of yar's womanly physique and blinding you.
    What is this guy? Blind? Or does he have Super Awesome 3.5 Drow Darkvison going on?
  • LiK
    holy shit, this was awesome. i died laughing, lol
  • Darkuu
    "No tries to lead the way."
    No is exactly Yor.
  • Chris
    You know, the odd thing is, I don't have a movie I think roleplaying should be like.
    Really, I have a series of videogames.
    I can't actually look at LotR and think "Yeah, that's what fantasy roleplay should be like".
    I do, however, have a series of books, and the way they play out in my mind is how roleplaying should be done.
    They're known as the Abhorsen Trilogy, by Garth Nix.
    Never will you read teenage fiction so vivid in its description, so heart thumpingly good in its action, that it defines your entire thoughts on roleplay.
  • Must find movie

    Must get entire Reb Brown filmography

    Yor really is the man, and I say the hello kitty vaders look more like dark helmet only scaled down
  • Eric O'Shea
    "We will need alot more hemp before were through" Best quote. Ever.
  • zachary
    so Yor needs pot to make a raft. I guess he needs something to pass time.
  • Yur The Huntard From The Past
    ''He's Stupid and smells like ass'' LoL i laughed my ass off. Keep it up Spoony...Or else..
  • aWESOME
  • DUbblecoMB
    I wondered the same thing. You think everybody is stupid but you?
  • schpeelah
    After the first purple cavemen attack my brother commented: "Now time for the Flying Purple People Eater!" A second later, the giant bat appeared. We died laughing.
  • Years ago I remember begging my mother to rent this from the video store. When she finally did, I remember my reaction was WTF? Overlord's not just impaled, he wanders the entire base for 20 minutes with that stick in his stomache.

    Thank you for this Spoony, you helped ease years of torment this film had brought me

    hmm... who'd win in a fight? Yor or Flash?
