Yor! Long time ago Noah "Spoony" Antwiller revieved this movie and it was one of the funniest things ever, i remember this even today, many years later :) (sorry for my english)
Reb Brown was also Steve Rogers/Captain America in "Captain America" (1979), , and "Captain America II: Death Too Soon" (1970), and appeared next to Stan Lee in "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011). As always thank you so very much for the video.
I remember walking into the theatre back in 1983 to see some other movie and there was a huge display for this movie in the lobby. I read the title out loud as we walked in, "Yor, the Hunter from the Future!" and looked at my friend. He was silent for a moment then said, completely deadpan, "No I'm not." I never did see it in the theatre but finally I did see it, just last year. I actually found it to be some cheesy, good fun.
Most moms, when guilt tripping their children, will alternate between bringing up the hours of labor they were in and the sacrifices they’ve made. When those don’t work, my mom brings up Yor: Hunter from the Future. All I can do is hold my head in shame and tell her I’m on my way.
Fun fact: the original Italian title for both the theatrical release and the miniseries was "Il mondo di Yor" (literally "Yor's world"), so it didn't give the plot twist away.
@@varanid9 when movies like this are distributed, I highly doubt there is any sort of in-depth brainstorming about title adaptation. They're more like, "What is this piece of cinematic crap all about? Yeah, let's name it that and call it a day. Now pass me a Molson."
@@johnhaladay5541 you, sir, are hereby cursed for evermore by the ghosts of Antonio Margheriti, Joe d'Amato, Bruno Mattei and Lucio Fulci. I'd throw in Claudio Fragasso and Ruggero Deodato for a good measure, but they're both still pretty much alive and kicking.
Dick Purcell played Captain America in the 1944 Republic serial. Of course they changed almost everything about the character but it still counts, change my mind. BTW it is available on YT.
@@johnmcintosh8673 Yes, but I meant television. Reb Brown was the first actor to play Captain America on television. I know that old black and white serials from the 1940s had everyone from Superman and Batman, to Captain America.

The twist that it’s post apocalyptic did kinda take me by surprise. I genuinely thought Yor was going to be a time traveler who’s from the future for whatever reason
Always good to see and get a bit of Reb Brown here and then. Seeing him destroy civilizations, scream and shoot shit puts a smile on my face. Just had a flashback to Spoony. Hope you get to finish what he started. There are plenty of Reb Brown movies out there. Including Captain America.
Heh, Spoony introduced me to Reb as well. Ah, the days before TH-cam. Kinda makes me sad he just dropped off doing videos. I stopped watching when he seemed to only do vlogs.
@@Xeno426 The days before Spoony went full egotist and mental illness. There's a whole video about it from a series known as 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. Worth checking out because oh boy O_O
That spoony review was what got me into watching these types of movie reviews on TH-cam. Was sad when he quit doing reviews but great to have someone like Brandon continuing to deliver quality content.
@@ProBreakers Spoony stopped because his ego got the better of him. Also he has mental health problems but I'd ratehr not get into that. there's a whole video about Spoony's rise and fall in a series called 'Down the Rabbit Hole'.
But those Captain America movies are so bad! And I don't mean bad in a "so bad it's good" way, I mean they're just BAD! They're boring, they're stupid, and they turn Steve Rogers into a whiny, self-absorbed Baby Boomer.
Remember renting this from the video store myself, and thinking, "this movie is very stupid, but I just can't hate it." I was thirteen at the time, and had no idea how much eighties movies would mean to me down the road. Also, if this was truly based on a comic, I think we need a new movie with a better budget. I love when movies based on obscure comics are made well (of course, it might not be so obscure in Italy).
I remember being crazy over watching all these Conan rip offs as a kid, sad there were some I enjoyed and wanted to re watch but can't remember the names : (
Gregory Snegoff did Reb Brown's dub voice in the theatrical cut of Yor, Greg is know for dubbing Italian films around the 80's and 70's and also did anime dubs from playing main characters like Golgo 13: The Professional and Wicked City to characters like Rei in the anime film of Fist of the North Star.
"Anthony M. Dawson" was really Antonio Margheritti. He directed a lot of fun movies: Wild Wild Planet, Battle of the Worlds, Horror Castle and the Virgin of Nuremberg (both with Barbara Steele), Assignment Outer Space, Planet on the Prowl,, etc.
Christopher Lee is in the movies you mentioned Barbara Steele was in. While Steele did make some great horror movies with Margheritti, she's not in these.
I watched this movie with my kids a couple of weeks ago, and we *loved* this movie. The cheesy acting, the nonsensical plot, the terrible special effects - this movie has it all. We rewound and rewatched the part with the action figure stuntmen three times.
I just watched Yor recently and I know for a fact that if you really listen during some of the fight scenes you will hear the unmistakable roar of Reb Brown.
In this movie Yor (Reb Brown) looks like he has the same features as the actor that did Kung Pow Enter The Fist. That creates so many possibilities with Yor when you think about it.
I remember seeing a trailer for this film in theaters (yes I'm old, moving on) - I blurted out "My WHAT?" my boyfriend at the time, and the folks around me, busted out laughing. I figured that was as good as my experience with this film would be... Til now. Thank you for your video review!
Im still hoping that spoony returns . His reviews and Countermonkey stuff are still awesome. Especially the legendary Ultima Retrospective . "Whats a paladin ?" "Your knowledge of this lands shall be great!" "Im not entirely sure..."
@@varanid9 Look up noah antwhiler . I siggest ypu to avoid the livestreams and check out first the Ultima Retrospective as a start because that stuff is still legendary and classic youtube gold . After that look up his movie- , company training videos- and videogame reviews. Very appreciated youtuber who reviews cult b-movies and Videogames back in the day but sadly a retired one with a backstory later on that brought him into his demise . But i hope that he put himself together and make new reviews . His comedy can be a bit outdated and the video quality isnt as fresh but the refferences and jokes are still classic.
I remember watching this when it came out. It was at the local drive-in theater and it was part of a double feather. First Yor the Hunter from the Future. Then came Hercules staring Lou Ferrigno.
that was my introduction to Yor, too. I think for a lot of people. This is why I love Brandon's channel. He's keeping that old school snark, with simple production values, not over the top "influencing", just golden age internet vibes.
I first learned about this movie through Rifftrax when they riffed it years ago. It's a bad movie by the theme song is definitely catchy! Happy New Year, Brandon, and thank you for all you do!
Thank you for doing this, I'm reminded when when Spoony did a review of this movie and wondered if you would do it as well. Also never picked up that Reb's voice was dubbed, interesting to find that out.
I feel like this is the kind of movie that I would have loved back in the day. It still looks like a fun film to watch now. Also, the blonde woman looks like the guy who played Kirk in the new Star trek films. Seriously, she has the same face.
I recently came across this channel and I love it. Will definitely be watching from here on out. I will go back and watch older videos too. I like Brandon's voice and humor.
I don't think I can ever see enough reviews of this movie. It just feels good to have it put out there by so many sources, knowing it can be enjoyed by so many people. It's a delight! Happy New Year, you mad lad!
This was one of those Movies HBO use to play at nauseam. And of the three love interest I would have picked Tarita first, Roa second, and Kala third. But this pure cheesy 80's at its best.
OMG...there were TV ads for this flick when I was a kid. I never saw it, but it was playing at the local theater back then and I WANTED to see it. Being a DnD/Scifi geek in the 80s was hard...we had to accept what we could get. It's only now, decades later that I realize not seeing YOR and MEGAFORCE in a theater was probably for the best. Happy New Year!
Saw this in the theater as a kid. My grandfather took me to see it. Ridiculous but fun Also apparently it was a mini series. There was more to it than this.
I think Those Emperors throne room shots at 15:02 are from the underground cisterns in Istanbul. Turkey: If you don't have the money to build a set, you're in luck, the Romans did it for you.
It’s one of my favorite movies. 😂 I walked past my neighborhood theater, saw the poster, bought a ticket, laughed my adolescent ass off at this Conan Star Wars amalgamated cocaine hallucination.
I loved this movie when I saw it as a kid with my dad on VHS. Great time. I knew it was edited from a miniseries but had no idea about the comic. Thanks for the memories👍
6:23 This moment right here from a review of this in the early days of youtube is what got me interested enough in this movie to track down a copy and watch it with me and my friends. We laughed our asses off at the poor oily rag mummies forced to live in a cave with puddles of gasoline on the floor. Yor, he's the man!
Not a film I've seen, but in the 'Making of' movie for the film 'The Last Hunter' (The only Italian Vietnam war film not based on 'Rambo'.). 'Yor' is referenced in a discussion on how the lower end Italian films liked to swap props from one film to the next.
Ah yes, nothing quite like a cheap, poorly-dubbed, foreign genre hybrid/knock-off from the mid-80's to close out the year, man. Can't wait to see what 2022 will bring on your show!
I got to see this in a drive-in theater with my dad when it first came out. I was too young to understand everything, but I remember it was fun to watch.
Watching this makes me want a Tenold review of Caveman. You know that Ringo Starr flick from the early 80's. Another suggestion in a similar way (cave people) was . . . I can't quite recall the name . . . Clan of the Cavebear, maybe. Both definitely cult movies though they are pretty well known.
I remember that back in this time period, all of us nerds were D&D players, and all of us wanted a proper D&D movie. Conan happened, and suddenly, 99% of the D&D movies ended up being a bunch of idiots running around in furry loin cloths and furry boots, in some sparse, desert, environment. There were almost NO fantasy based movies that didn't follow that formula at this time period. For D&D movies, we either got the old "Sword and Sandal", or "Fur Wearing Caveman/Barbarian in a desert" movies. There was almost no deviation from this as far as the movie industry was concerned. The closest movie that we got that SOMEWHAT matched our D&D games was "Hawk the Slayer".
Italian, French,and Turkish movie. Postapocalyptic. Laser battle. Dinosaurs. Violence. A hero who does stuff to his own theme song. Reb Brown. Bad ADR. A plot that seems like it was written by 4 different people. Half dressed people. Hair from the eighties. Fire stunts and action scenes that definitely got the actors injured. Did I miss some things? This literally had EVERYTHING in it. All of the awesome stuff I come here for in one wild ride. What a way to wrap up the year and here's to the next one!
So strange seeing so much rage and emotion from Reb after watching him in Captain America I and II. And Oliver Onions. Great name for a group that makes a great theme song!!

It had a Latin culture, some germanic-latin and a somewhat mediterranean thing to it. That really explains "everything".

Totally agree 😄
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
"I'm the hunter from the future?"
"No, Yor."
"My what?"
I mean, it's got dinosaur mutants, cavemen and cyborgs. Seems like a CYOA book to me.

Those Rebel guys' outfits even look a LOT like the outfits the people in Space Mutiny wore. Holy crap, this movie DOES have everything!
Also, during the cave mummy sequence, the mummy leader is played by Aytekin Akkaya, who was Ali in the Turkish Star Wars.

Awesome choice! Loving the reviews on your channel...they're the perfect mix of humor, info, and opinion.
One of my favorite movies of all time ever since I saw it at a drive-in when it came out.
Now this gives me strong Spoony flashbacks...which in turn makes me sad.
It’s one of my favorite movies. 😂 I walked past my neighborhood theater, saw the poster, bought a ticket, laughed my adolescent ass off at this Conan Star Wars amalgamated cocaine hallucination.
also now i wanna watch the mini series spoony back then didn't talk about it .
3:06 this oddly predicted Jurassic World’s Stegoceratops
I loved this movie when I saw it as a kid with my dad on VHS. Great time. I knew it was edited from a miniseries but had no idea about the comic. Thanks for the memories👍
6:23 This moment right here from a review of this in the early days of youtube is what got me interested enough in this movie to track down a copy and watch it with me and my friends. We laughed our asses off at the poor oily rag mummies forced to live in a cave with puddles of gasoline on the floor. Yor, he's the man!
I MET REB!!!! HE WAS AWESOME!!!!
wow, I haven't seen a review of this since Spoony was still with Channel Awesome back in the day.
Not a film I've seen, but in the 'Making of' movie for the film 'The Last Hunter' (The only Italian Vietnam war film not based on 'Rambo'.). 'Yor' is referenced in a discussion on how the lower end Italian films liked to swap props from one film to the next.
Ah the film debut of Big McLargehuge himself. That makes so much sense in retrospect.
also known as Roll Fizzlebeef
Ah yes, nothing quite like a cheap, poorly-dubbed, foreign genre hybrid/knock-off from the mid-80's to close out the year, man. Can't wait to see what 2022 will bring on your show!
Alright! I love this movie! I had no idea it was a mini-series first that actually sounds pretty cool. Anyway, great review.
Also the first Captain America for two TV movies
I got to see this in a drive-in theater with my dad when it first came out. I was too young to understand everything, but I remember it was fun to watch.
What a way to get out of 2021!
Thanks Brandon!
"Jurassic World is the first time we combined a stegosaurus and a triceratops" Not so original now, are you, Dr. Wu?
I guess Wu was a fan of this movie.
Being born in 1973, and being a Flash Gordon, Star Wars , and CONAN fan this was right up my alley.
Watching this makes me want a Tenold review of Caveman. You know that Ringo Starr flick from the early 80's. Another suggestion in a similar way (cave people) was . . . I can't quite recall the name . . . Clan of the Cavebear, maybe. Both definitely cult movies though they are pretty well known.
We need more sword and magic films
Remember when Spoony-go-nuts reviewview'd this?
I love how the Yor and his chick are clean shaven and have access to hair products. 😂
He also played Captain America in 1978
Awesome review brandon . happy new year
I remember that back in this time period, all of us nerds were D&D players, and all of us wanted a proper D&D movie. Conan happened, and suddenly, 99% of the D&D movies ended up being a bunch of idiots running around in furry loin cloths and furry boots, in some sparse, desert, environment. There were almost NO fantasy based movies that didn't follow that formula at this time period. For D&D movies, we either got the old "Sword and Sandal", or "Fur Wearing Caveman/Barbarian in a desert" movies. There was almost no deviation from this as far as the movie industry was concerned. The closest movie that we got that SOMEWHAT matched our D&D games was "Hawk the Slayer".
I thought Conan the Destroyer actually came pretty close.
Italian, French,and Turkish movie. Postapocalyptic. Laser battle. Dinosaurs. Violence. A hero who does stuff to his own theme song. Reb Brown. Bad ADR. A plot that seems like it was written by 4 different people. Half dressed people. Hair from the eighties. Fire stunts and action scenes that definitely got the actors injured. Did I miss some things? This literally had EVERYTHING in it. All of the awesome stuff I come here for in one wild ride. What a way to wrap up the year and here's to the next one!
So strange seeing so much rage and emotion from Reb after watching him in Captain America I and II. And Oliver Onions. Great name for a group that makes a great theme song!!
