Customer Reviews of Yor, the Hunter from the Future
An In Depth Philosophical Discussion About Dehumanization There aren't many films that can treat man's struggle with his environment with the subtlety and artifice that is seen in Yor: The Hunter From The Future. It is only under the delicate hand of auteur Antonio Margheriti can cinematography so sullen-cloud hushed also capture neon-like performances from Reb Brown, Corinne Clery and John Steiner. Not to be overlooked Carole Andre and the deep mercurial complexities she imbues into her Ena character. <

>Margheriti's work is his pinnacle film of contrasts, as few filmmakers have had the courage or the vision to explore the relationships that result from cavemen having to battle for survival against dinosaurs, robots -- as well as holograms. Here we see in stark, and sometimes unsettling granularity, how Margheriti's characters must confront their primordial pasts, their cold futures and their gossamer present existences. <

>Yor is more than a science fiction film. It is a true philosophical work that somehow marries Waiting For Godot, Ulysses and Brave New World on to the same cellulloid masterpiece - and yet traps it all in an unanswerable mystery of Hitchcockian proportion. <
> <
>Every film student should commit this film to memory.
Unbelievable...and Unforgettable (sadly)
This has to be one of the worst movies ever made, yet it is so mindnumbingly bad, it will have you laughing throughout!

<
>Reb Brown, who is still waiting for his first Oscar, plays the single-syllable Yor (and is mightily taxed with just that) who has a mysterious past, one that will have you guessing for a couple of minutes or so. Yor (does he get greeted, 'Yo! Yor!'?) saves a babe from a absolutely abysmally fake dinosaur, and discovers she wears the twin of the medallion that he has come into possession of. What a strange coincidence!

>He is captured by men in the burning hot desert (who fight off that terrible heat by wearing full-length fur coats). However, he gets free of them, only to be captured by men and women in lab coats, who live in a cave.

<
>They subject him to many uninteresting tests, and discover that he has parents (prompting Yor to utter the unforgettable words, 'My parents, oh, my mother and father!' Yes Yor, your parents are INDEED your mother and father. Good Yor!)
<

<
>Made on a rumored budget of $243.18 ($202.56 of which went to Burger King for catering), Yor, the Hunter from the Future is bland, horrible, dull, stupid, inconceivable, shockingly unprofessional, idiotic, and....crashingly funny! (though certainly not intentionally).
<

<
>How MST3K missed this one, I don't know. The rights to this film are probably tied up in the courts (small claims court).
<
>
<
>Minus one star on a rational level, five+ stars if your idea of fun is to stick a fork in your eye, over and over again.

>Recommended for devotees of really, really bad movies. Ed Woods would be jealous.
"Take me with you, stranger!"
One of the greatest sci-fi epics of all time. Starring the incredibly talented Reb Brown (Captain America, Uncommon Valor), Yor is a complex character study which borrows liberally from Joseph Campbell's "Hero With a Thousand Faces". Filled with great acting a mind blowing special effects, Yor is a must have for your film collection. I hear that the studio is about to release a special edition on DVD, with dolby 5.1 and enhanced special effects. I can't wait!!!
