I was just alerted to the existence of this movie in a comments forum over at io9 by user “SupaChupacabra.” This looks stupendously bad, a cross between GOR and TURKISH STAR WARS. And apparently a great lost gem in the annals of barbarian cinema, a genre which should be resurrected properly, sans the Rock.

From the Wiki, which is almost as funny as the actual clip:

Yor, The Hunter From The Future is a film released in 1983. It was directed by the famous Italian B-movie director Antonio Margheriti (also known as Anthony M. Dawson) and starring Reb Brown, and was pieced together from a 4-part science-fiction miniseries shown on Italian television. The setting is a mixture between prehistoric and futuristic, borrowing elements from numerous popular franchises of the time. It has been released on DVD in Germany…

The movie opens with Reb Brown, as Yor, jogging around the stone towers of Cappadocia, Turkey while a rock ballad plays in the background. In a nearby village, Kala, a seemingly primitive cave-woman, and her older protector Pak are hunting. Suddenly, they are attacked by a Stego-Ceratops. Yor appears apparently from nowhere and kills the dinosaur with his axe, drinking some of its blood immediately afterwards. Yor is befriended by the village and together they cut the choice meats to be feasted upon in a celebration….

(More on that here.)

(And you know this shit must be good because you can only get it on VHS.)

(Although here’s some links to watch it for free!)

Has anybody here actually SEEN this monstrosity?
