Though the film was one of Margheriti's most financially successful films, it received poor reviews from Variety and The New York Times and drew three nominations at the 4th Golden Raspberry Awards in 1984.
Yor, the Hunter from the Future is an adaptation of the Argentinian comic book Yor, created in 1974 by writer Eugenio Juan Zappietro and artist Juan Zanotto.[3] The comic appeared in the Italian magazine Lanciostory in 1975.[3] Director Antonio Margheriti later told an interviewer that the comic was fascinating to him.[3] The film was part of a wave of sword-and-sorcery themed films that appeared after the success of John Milius's 1982 film version of Conan the Barbarian.[3] Other Italian productions that appeared in 1983 in its wake along with Yor, including Lucio Fulci's Conquest and Franco Prosperi's The Throne of Fire (both 1983).[3] The film differs from the comics where the second part of the film begins to resemble Star Wars.[3]
Yor, the Hunter from the Future was shot in Turkey, including scenes shot in Cappadocia.[4][5]Along with co-writing and directing the film, Margheriti supervised the films special effects with his son Edoardo.[5]
Yor, the Hunter from the Future was released in Italy on February 10, 1983.[1][2] Running time of the Italian feature version of the film was 98 minutes, while the version released August 19, 1983 in American theaters ran 89 minutes.[5] The film was distributed in the United States by Columbia Pictures.[5][2] Margheriti stated that Columbia distributed 1400 prints of the film and that it was "one of the most successful pictures of my life."[5] Yor, the Hunter from the Future grossed a total of $2,810,199 in the United States.[6]
I only learned this a few days ago and was shocked that Spoony seemingly never mentioned it (Unless I missed something), since we're basically talking about hours of "lost" (Apparently it was released on DVD at some point in the past with English subtitles, probably only in Italy/Europe) Reb Brown goodness from arguably his most iconic film. Over twice the Reb to be exact!
Yor, the Hunter from the Future, also known as Yor's World, is a film released in 1983. It was directed by the famous Italian B-movie director Antonio Margheriti and starring Reb Brown of Space Mutiny fame. The setting is a mixture between prehistoric and futuristic, borrowing elements from numerous popular franchises of the time. It has a growing cult following.
Not seen this one and not really in any hurry to- I had a question in my mind while reading the review and that got answered in the last sentence- I think you called it a bore. So obviously no Turkish Star Wars then cos that was pretty shit but I laughed til I hurt from start to finish with that one.
I think I will stick with Margheriti's jungle war films for now then- cos no one could call those boring.
@ Fazeo: I'm curious to see STARCRASH again, myself. I'm a bit amazed it will get a Bluray release, though. GREEN SLIME is out in Japan in English if I remember right. Although I hear it might be slightly shorter than the US release. I did hear some rumbling that it was possibly coming to DVD in the near future, so fingers crossed on that one! My dad used to have the 45 for that theme song. Wish it was still around.
@ Rev: It's worth seeing again for old times sake and that's about the best recommendation I can give. I'm not sure if I could handle seeing the full on 4 hour plus version.
@ Nigel: I meant that the film production wise was more akin to TURKISH STAR WARS than one of its obvious inspirations, the US STAR WARS. I might should have worded that differently.
Still, YOR does have a lot of fans, though. You will laugh while watching it, too, but probably not as much as TSW. If you are a Margheriti fan, you will probably want to check it out at some point, at least once.
Have you seen Margheriti's star studded TREASURE ISLAND IN OUTER SPACE? It's also a series chopped down to about 135 minutes. David Warbeck, Anthony Quinn, John Morghen, Bobby Rhodes, etc...I recently interviewed Morghen through email and I didn't realize I had this movie till I had already submitted all my questions!
THE LAST HUNTER is all kinds of awesome! I intended to buy COMMANDO LEOPARD, but xploited sold all their copies before I could purchase one. Lenzi's war pictures have some value to them, imo. He really pushed what budget he was given for them.
ooo and I could have worded my comment a bit differently too- it was meant to have the intonation of a question for a start (so note to self punctuate) and I was sort of asking if it was funny like turkish star wars is rather than structure.which you answered anyway- not as funny, which is a shame because I am not one for laughing at film makers efforts but during turkish star wars I was doubled up laughing so much I ached. Really did!!! Mostly for the balls they had in ripping of soundtracks from all over and the whole manic approach to the action- I didnt have a subtitle track so I didnt really have a clue what was going on but watching some dude weilding a cardboard sword or prancing around with a golden baseball glove was just the funniest shit I have seen in years. Man, I think I gotta watch that film again.
Having become utterly addicted to the exploitation cinema of Italy from the 1970's, with all those beautiful gialli and gritty poliziotteschi, I have naturally followed that through-line into the rip-off films of the 1980's from that part of the world. Often directed by the same luminaries of Italsploitation's golden period in the 60's and 70's, it always struck me how badly the quality of film making dropped off. Putting aside the rise of horror legends like Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento - in fact, there were loads of great horror films from there during the 80's - and focusing on the sub genres of fantasy and post-apocalyptic films, things became pretty tawdry.
"Yor's World, he's the man! Yor's World, he's the man! [Yor's World!]
Lost in the world of past, in the echo of ancient blast. [Yor's World!]
There is a man from future, a man of mystery. [Yor's World!]
No trails to lead the way, in his search for a yesterday. [Yor's World!]
Misty illusions hiding, his famous destiny. [Yor's World!]
Yor, the Hunter from the Future is a combination of those genres, pulling a Teenage Caveman-esque third act twist to reveal that Yor is a descendant of a more technologically advanced remnant of humanity in a post-nuclear future where humanity has regressed to the dark ages and dinosaurs once again roam the land.
Yor then travels to a technologically advanced island where he learns that the world he inhabits is a post-nuclear wasteland and that a being called The Overlord is going to do a thing to make himself all-powerful but it was too complicated or stupid for me to have recalled what it is. The film then transfers from Conan pastiche to Star Wars pastiche as Yor fights to stop Overlord's cyborg army, foil his master plan, and save the day.
Yor and his cohorts wander from scenario to scenario with very little overarching story or plot. We don't even meet the film's villain until the final third of the movie. In the meantime, Yor murders or beats up various miscellaneous crew members dressed up as cavemen in faux slow-motion to disguise the fact that Reb Brown takes to fight choreography about as well as he does nuanced acting.
But the film features gloriously dumb set-pieces like Yor throwing a flaming sword underhanded to impale and enemy or riding the corpse of a giant bat like a hang glider to a musical stinger from the film's theme of "Yor's world, he's the maaaaaan!" At one point a stunt is performed using plastic action figures and those who are paying close enough attention are rewarded to an awkwardly edited shot where it's painfully clear that neither of the people in the frame are human beings.
Yor, the Hunter from the Future is a bit of a meme at this point. The internet is well aware of the film's antics primarily thanks to Noah Antwiler's review from 2008. The thing is, if you've seen that review then you've really seen all the parts worth seeing. This is certainly more enjoyable than Ator, the Fighting Eagle or Hawk the Slayer but it's still a bad, dumb movie like the rest.
In a time where humanity is living in a stone age, a traveling hunter named Yor saves a village from a dinosaur attack. He hangs around the village until a rival group attacks. Managing to save a beautiful woman and her guardian from the bloodshed. They then go searching for a woman who wears a mysterious medallion similar to the one that Yor wears. Convinced that she may have answers about his own past, he embarks on a dangerous quest that reveals more about himself and the world itself than he could have imagined.
