Not Available on Netflix #26
This week’s feature: “Yor, The Hunter From the Future” (1983)
DVD/88 Mins/English/PG
Due to some miscommunication, this film was canceled this week at Brewvies.
However, because it is part of our “not available on netflix” series, we are going to show it this Thursday in Springville. (Perhaps it will return to Brewvies someday down the line.)
Storyline from IMDB:
Yor, an extremely blond prehistoric warrior, comes to question his origins, particularly with regard to a mysterious medallion he wears. When he learns of a desert goddess who supposedly wears the same medallion, Yor decides that he must find her and learn his true identity. Along the way, he encounters ape-men, dinosaurs, and a strange futuristic society. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
Some favorite IMDB reviews:
I love this film more than I love my family., 7 December 2003
Author: daxdobbs from HOLLYWOOD!!!!
“Yor: Hunter From the Future” is one of the most underrated films of the last nine thousand years. A key inspiration for such amazing works as “American Beauty” and “Hollywood Harry”, this science fiction epic deserves to be rediscovered. The story follows a shy, and stupid blonde man who wanders through a prehistoric wasteland. As he encounters various villages and communities, he manages to destroy everything in his wake and ruin everyone’s lives. The last thirty minutes are a revelation as our hero, his love interest, and some fat shirtless guy (who I still think is Orson Welles) are transported into space. There they fight a bunch of robots and shoot laser beams. Seriously, gang, if you want a film that will make you want to kill someone, then this is for you. Brilliant direction, acting, and writing all around. Best line: “DAMN TALKING BOX!!!!” … The special effects blow Lord of the Rings out of the dork shelf at the rental store. You’re going to love this movie so much you will want to slap yourself and hope that it isn’t a dream.

Outrageously Funny, Bad acting, a Must see!, 11 November 1999
Author: Nostalgia from Charlottetown, PEI(Canada)
Yor, hunter from the future is filled with bad acting, bad scripts and horrible screenplay. why do I give it such a great vote? because it’s so damn funny. This movie had me wiping tears away in laughter. Reb Brown has a unique way of looking stupid in almost every scene of this film. His goofy smile is enough to just crack me up in a minute. The music to this movie is spectacular.
I give it 3 thumbs up! A must see…

Bonus Short Film:
Darkstar: Episode 12 - “Crown of the Sorceress” (1981)
You may recognize this, I’ve shown a few episodes at ISMN in the past. Before “He-man and the Masters of the Universe”, Filmation studios created “Blackstar” the stranded earth astronaut made into space barbarian. Even weirder, chaotic, random, and more hilarious than the later He-man series. Blackstar was one of my favorite cartoons in my early youth. Sadly it only lasted one season. I still love it till this day.
In this episode Blackstar has a date from Hell and is hypnotized by a woman who turns him against his friends.
