Inept, cheesy muscleman epic that thinks mixing Conan with Star Wars is a stunningly original idea. Go to Full Review

If you hear the phrase "Italian caveman epic" and your heart doesn't sing at least a little bit, then I pity your sad and joyless existence. Go to Full Review

When a comrade warns Yor about the approaching 'creature of the night,' he should have added, 'You might get tangled up in his wires!' Go to Full Review

Oh my lord. Can we say Derivative Crapfest? Horrible acting, and a script that takes sci-fi/fantasy elements and tosses them in a blender" Go to Full Review

Robert P @Superbad 4 days ago In real life this could never happen as Dinosaurs and Man never existed together in fact! Thus I am forced to give this movie a *2* star rating! See more Richard W @RT65767935 Oct 14, 2026 I cant believe someone paid 2.8 mil to do this picture ,in todays dollars thats almost 10 mil ,from 1983 until 2026,had moments when we were really laughing ,my wife 65 years old watched the entire thing with me ,i couldn't it,she actually believe it ,she actually said well it kept me interested eough to watch it through ,i guess i felt the same ,i guess this is a b movie ,that could ,or is like a cult classic ,get drunk or whatever ,put it on with munchies ,dont take it seriously and have a laugh See more DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD May 18, 2026 Assembled from a stack of pulp paperbacks, heavy metal album covers and half-remembered sci-fi classics, Yor: The Hunter from the Future has all the makings of a truly incredible adventure but settles into a wonderful midground of hilariously tacky and downright ridiculous. It's not a badly shot film by any means, even if the rather disingenuous editing doesn't help its case; everything just kind of moves along without any pace. Reb Brown's well-cast as a blunt tool, impossibly blond and permanently shirtless Yor and the incredibly catchy synth-rock theme song lodges itself in your brain almost immediately. While Yor: The Hunter from the Future has major problems, obviously. Most of them are hilarious; some are more annoying. This is certainly not a good film, but it is absurdly entertaining. Often described as the crown jewel of Italy's Barbarian craze, it's also the film that killed their enthusiasm for it; just like that, they were done. This is Yor's world after all.

Reb Brown is amazing. The continuity of story is what makes this film. Watch it 100+ times like I have. See more Sep 25, 2021 The best spaghetti caveman movie ever made! See more Read all reviews
