Il mondo di Yor

This is certainly one of the most entertaining B-movies I have ever seen. Very funny and never boring. Perfect film to kill a pack of chips with your buddy.

Cavemen on a distant planet are fighting dinosaurs – and later on stormtroopers with black helmets straight from Star Wars. Yor, just one sword wielding barbarian, attacks a whole army of the Empire with far superior laser weapons, because he is a hero and got the right to do silly things. His girlfriend Kalaa is played by former Bond girl Corinne Clery (`Histoire d'O') who looks good in rags ;-) Oliver Onions of Bud Spencer/Terence Hill fame recorded a title theme that can politely be described as just what the movie deserved, including a backing choir of Neanderthal bozos.

Yor: `Drinking the blood of our enemies gives us strength!'

Reply: `Urgh… I prefer to stay weak then!'

One of those movies I find almost impossible to click a number for when I'm voting, because compared to any reasonable movie, this would be a hopeless zero, but it is so much fun to watch it'd deserve an eight. A must-see for Z movie fans!

Now here is a movie that gets a horrible rap, for reasons I can't fathom. Sure it's cheap, but at least it moves quickly. Yor is a strapping caveman type who runs from adventure to adventure, battling cool dinosaur puppets, desert zombie hordes, sex hungry ape men and more. Reb Brown certainly has the acting range of a baked potato, but Yor isn't exactly deep material.

Corinne Cleri is very stunning in her little cavegirl outfit, and when John Steiner comes in to explain it all, you can't help laughing.

Look for the funniest trapeze stunt you'll ever see a G.I. Joe perform!

This is one of the greatest scifi movies of all time. Imagine a future where humanity has returned to its cave man ways. But then add in a tyrnical empire which secretly still exists with high technology planning on redominating the entire planet. only one man can save the world. And he is Yor, a caveman with mysterious roots, played by B movie king, Reb Brown, Captain America himself! You just can't go wrong. This movie was played multiple times on cable during the 1980's and you can still catch it every now and then. its a great movie to watch when you are up late on a hot summer night and you want to jsut watch and action movie. Plus, we have glorious 80's heavy metal music which jsut can't be duplicated. 10 out of 10. Rent this movie and check it out. You'll love it.

Ah, memories, sweet memories. I recall pulling into the movie theater parking lot with scant seconds to spare before YOR was to begin. I wanted to see YOR because of its title. It also was the only movie starting when we arrived, to be truthful. YOR was magnificently, superbly bad and one of the worst Italian muscle men films in history. And since this was released in the 1980s, our Italian friends threw in a little STAR WARS shtick in the second half for good measure. Reb "Captain America" Brown as Yor is an insult to actors everywhere. The special effects are laughable, on a par with a high school production. Everything you have read elsewhere about this film is true. I still can recall Brown fighting the head -- but not the body -- of a raptor and some bizarre gliding nonsense and a poorly executed laser battle near the end. I have seen some real stinkers in my time, but this one pretty much takes the cake. My wife and I and company snorted and chortled our way through the whole thing, which beat crying. YOR is a must-see for Z-grade film lovers everywhere! Remember those awful sword and sorcery flicks with the guy who played Tarzan in the late 70s? Remember that particular Tarzan flick? YOR is worse. But entertaining in a trashy way.
