Movies

Yor, Hunter from the Future (1983) Directed by Anthony M. Dawson (Antonio Margheriti), filmed in Turkey. You think it's going to be just a caveman movie with this one guy Yor always saving everybody from full-size walking artificial dinosaurs (!) and apemen, and hang-gliding on a kind of a pterodactyl thing he killed (!!!) to save people from the apemen and stuff like that but he has this medallion around his neck and wants to find out who his parents were and when they finally get to the island that he originally came from as a child there are all these darth vader ROBOTS and a teleporting EVIL OVERLORD and running around shooting rayguns in a factory and stuff and it's just nuts. It keeps up a real good pace with another nutty thing happening every few minutes so no matter how goofy or crummy it seems for a while suddenly there is a big fake dinosaur spouting blood from its face wounds or something blowing up or something. Not only is it a good cheap caveman movie it is also a good cheap scifi movie, a winning combination! Ridiculously fun. 8/10
