Yor the Hunter from the Future (1983) Movie Review

Yor, the Hunter from the Future (1983) (IMDB)

Yor: The Hunter from the Future movie poster

Star Wars changed movies for the next few years as everyone tried to duplicate the concepts, feel and story. This is one of those movies, which was based on a comic, that is perfect if you are an 11 year old boy. We have Yor, a wandering hunter in a prehistoric land, fighting dinosaurs and rival cavemen. The odd thing is this was originally a 200 minute, multi part mini series in Italy that was cut into a 88 minute movie. Seems like they would only keep the good parts and this would be outstanding, but honestly they could have cut more (or alternatively maybe the full version is epic). But the cutdown does mean the story has many parts, and characters, some summarizing it would take some time (so not easy to follow for those 11 year old’s). The movie is a lot of Yor being attacked by cavemen. But, there is a mirror maze scene in this prehistoric land ? The bad guy is called Overlord and on his island he has a compound that series of tunnels and a mirror maze where our heroes get stuck while trying to escape. This happens in the last part of the movie as we learn what is going on.

I give it a 4.5/10.
