@@donwhiteley3293 sorry to rain on your parade. Not a He-Man figure... something closer to a Ken doll.

Yor eradicates no less than 5 dofferent civilizations... 2 at the same time while attempting to rescue the survivors of the village that took him in(simultaneously destroying the village while defending it) and inadvertently(or was it as he drowns everyone) killing said survivors while only rescuing his gf and murdering everyone else... this followed ome of the greatest moments IM FILM HISTORY as he killed a bat creature w a single arrow(instantly no less) causing it to immediately enter riger mortis, utilized it as a hang glider, and then missile drop kicking a purple caveman all set to his rockin theme song!!
Thanks for the double feature review. It was a fun change of pace. Maybe a film with Reb Brown as the hero and Oliver Reed as the villain would give us the best of both worlds.
I love this channel so much. Also Yor is one of the most awesome, random, and crazy fantasy films ever made. It feels like they got some 8 year old to make a list of crazy shit the kid thought was cool, and then they threw it in a blender. Yor is the result of that.
"Yor" is based on an argentinian comic book called "Henga", that was succesful enough in Italy to get made into a movie. They changed the title but the story and the look follow the comic pretty closely.
@@paulforder591 I don´t know if it was translated to english, but you may always stick to the spanish or the italian version. Henga was created by Diego Navarro and Juan Zanotto and published by Skorpio, in case you want try to find it.
I read the Gor novels. They are science fantasy novels playing on another world where you go riding on birds, hobnob with insectoid aliens and there is magic, sort of. Actually all magic is tech from the insectoid aliens, but the inhabitants dont know that. Apart from the rampant sadomasochism regarding females and their role in society, it is a jolly good read. I did not know there was ever a dramatization in a movie. I would have thought that impossible due to budget (production costs like LotR).
I have not read the Gor novels, but ii have seen both films and gotten the impression that the books and films owe royalties to Edgar Rice Burroughs' "John Carter of Mars" books.
While I can see the virtues of Yor, for me Oliver Reed was one of the most watchable people on the planet--and didn't he know it--so I would have to choose Gor. Even the way Reed rolls his eyes in his death scene is unlike anything anyone else would do. As a suggestion for another comparison review, you might look at The Maze, from 1953, an offbeat Gothic melodrama directed and designed by William Cameron Menzies, and The Mask, a kind of weird psycho-thriller from 1961 - - both are 3-D movies with odd premises (very), and both use 3-D in crazily inventive ways. Plus The Mask is considered one of the 1st Canadian horror films, while the plot of The Maze, and its final reveal, has to be seen to be believed.
I like Creature better myself. I think it had a few genuinely scary scenes without relying TOO much on gore/sex. I do admit that could be because I was fairly young when I first watched it and was much older when I first saw Galaxy of Terror.
Andrew Parsons That's fair. I'd lean towards Galaxy of Terror just for being a bit more imaginative and strange, but Creature's a solid creeper and Klaus Kinski is having so much fun in it!
My wife just got me Yor on Blu-ray for my birthday. She noticed Big McLargehuge on the cover and said the synopsis sounded terrible... so she knew I'd like it.
The reference to Norman is a clever play, the Gor novels were written by John Norman. Not that the films follow the novels particularly well but still.
BRILLIANT! One of your best ones yet! YOR is shoestring compared to GOR, because even though the latter was a Cannon (cheap, fun trash) film, YOR was edited down from an Italian T.V. mini-series. Nevertheless, YOR is just as dumb and cheesy as GOR, but far goofier and much more optimistic! BUT...GOR got a (terrible) sequel!
nothing compares to Yor! awesome theme song, great dialogue, and the Pag swinging effects! Yor is a repeat viewing. Stand alone movie or the miniseries! The great Reb Brown too! Gor I seen once but not sure if it was a sequel or first one but I will watch again.
_The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant_ [1971 -- Cast includes Bruce Dern (frequently cast as a deranged character), Casey Kasem (i.e., Shaggy), and Pat Priest (i.e. Marilyn Munster), in a film about a truly insane scientist (Dern) who decides it's a good idea to graft the head of a psychopathic killer onto a mentally-impaired, gentle giant farmhand's body, after which homicidal fun ensues] versus _The Thing with Two Heads_ [1972 -- Cast includes Ray Milland (former Oscar winner) and Rosey Grier (former NFL All-Pro defensive lineman), in a film about a wheelchair-bound white racist doctor (Milland) seeking a transplant of his head onto a healthy body, only to awaken and discover it's been attached to that a black convict (Grier), after which campy racial jokes ensue].
@@srstriker6420 That was the Matt Salinger version - the Reb Cap faced greater villains, like a slumming-it Christopher Lee with an old age gas! Cap vs Drac: what's not to love?
You know, Reb actually would've made a good He-Man; he'd have been comfortable being completely Filmation accurate, even down to the simple way of talking and wouldn't have blinked an eye at having to wear a page boy haircut while fighting a skull faced blue muscleman in loincloth.
I can't wait to watch both, but the real question is what craft beer should I select while watching them, something with a Y for Yor and something with a G for Gor
I'm pretty sure Gor is based on the book Tarnsmen of Gor, a knockoff of the John Carter series. If I recall there was some controversy over the author having a thing for bondage and it came out in his work.
Yor also has the better soundtrack. The music in it is so damn 80's that you'll want to just want to perm that hair all big and wear neon clothes all over again! Also, with the GOR books, the main character was not a college professor. He was just a generic "Warrior". In the movie, they decided that people wouldn't understand a fantasy movie (because the main character in GOR is so damn complex a concept), so they decided that instead of using the character from the books as the hero, to have the hero be some idiot from OUR world. It would be like George Lucas deciding that 80's audiences wouldn't understand the concept of Luke Skywalker, and then changing things so that Keanu Reeves as "Ted from "Bill and Ted", gets teleported into the movie to fill the spot of the missing Luke Skywalker.
@@skylx0812 Back then, they would use an entire damn can of hair spray on their heads along with the mousse. Women's hair back then would go up like fireworks if they got near an open flame.
When you said "Gor has stars," my first thought was "Hey, Reb Brown was in Uncommon Valor, and Yor has Anthony Wyngarde (although apparently dubbed)." I actually thought about seening Yor when it came out; guess I dodged that bullet. Comparative "bad" movies? How about The Earth Dies Screaming vs. Target: Earth?
The only commercial for 'Yor, the Hunter From the Future' that I recall never showed any spaceships or robots. He smacked a burning tree with his stone axe, and there was some talk.
As much as celebrity appearances in schlock make me feel like Sideshow Bob when he heard Vanessa Redgrave in a low-brow Fox comedy, I am consoled that this schlock isn't that level of shit. Plus, they chew scenery as if they were coming off hunger strikes.
A bad movie double bill huh? Romero's The Crazies versus HG Lewis' 2000 Maniacs. The worst of the best Romero versus the best of the worst Lewis. How about a double bill of Bert I Gordon? Earth vs the Spider vs the Empire of the Ants. Tarantula knockoff versus another Them knockoff from BIG. Godzilla versus the Sea Monster... which was supposed to star Kong... and King Kong Escapes... which has Kong fighting his mecha equivalent. It's weird to put Godzilla on an isolated South Paific island and have Kong climb Tokyo Tower, it's like they switched places somehow.
Gotta love Oliver Reed's reading of that line: Reed: "One ........ hundred ................ men ................................ women ............................................ and ........................................................................" Me: "...Children!!! Yeah, we get it! Just say it and finish the fricking line awready!! Children!! Children!!"
GOR is supposed to be a combination of Conan the Barbarian sword & sorcery, and Science Fiction/Fantasy. Another example of this crossover would be Warrior & the Sorceress from 1984! Robin, why not do a review of that film, and SORCERESS ?- - Both movies have pornographic exploitation, both are sword & sandal non-epics, both are sleazy low budget flicks!
10:10 You can’t call a sword & sandal movie “pervy and torture fixated” until you’ve seen Barbarian Queen (which you should avoid at all costs unless you’re a RUclips reviewer looking for an untapped bad movie to set yourself apart).
"They worship me as a divine goddess" - as opposed to a non-divine goddess? And "Take me with you, stranger" must've been a deliberate joke... surely?!??
I saw Yor once a long time ago and it was a pretty good movie but I've never seen or heard of Gor. I've seen Masters of the Universe, Krull, Kull and Beastmaster and they were really good movies
Gor is a better movie than yor because gor is an actual movie Yor on the other hand was a 4 hour Italian mini series that was edited into a 90 minute direct to video movie.
I couldn't get through Gor but found Yor quite entertaining. It's simply more creative, silly, colourful, and as you said, the title character is much more likeable.
Can't believe I only just discovered your channel!! Brilliant! I gotta recommend an Australian film, so 1982s "Turkey shoot" it is. Can't wait to see more!
I am confused. I remember persuading some friends to go see "Yor," for which they never truly forgave me; but, I remember that Adrienne Barbeau ( from tv's "Maude") played the love interest). The only other thing I remember is that the exact same scene of a tyranasaurus attack was used twice. No aliens, etc. Am I confusing Yor with another movie? Was there a sequel?
I am Yor from Gor. This is my wife Hor, my stupid son, Dor and my hot daughter Mor. Welcome to Gor. If you need supplies, over there is the Stor. Did I mention Oliver Reed is in this film? He used to party alot with Keith Moon. Cool guy.
I just discovered this channel. I enjoy movies from a bygone area. Your revues are... interesting. The ideas and opinions are unique, not snarky but original.
Yor was a cheesy sci-fi/fantasy movie, shot on location in Italy and Turkey, but still funny in its own right, and with a likable hero played by Reb Brown. You can't take it too seriously. 🤓😸🤣🤣
And to think Yor was suppose to be a 4 part mini series with 50 minute episodes. However it actually has score on Rotten Tomato with 17% and 46% where as Gor doesn't have any tomato percentage and a 2% audience score.
What was the first comparison video? 🤔 And i can think of one suggestion, but its primarily based on the titles, as the content is dissimilar (killer robots vs giant monsters): Gog vs Yog 😁
We have done gog. Other double bill we have done are batman forever vs superman 4, not of this earth (first 2 versions) boggy creek 1 and 2, finally devil weed and something I forgot.
Not to critique the critic but Reb has done more than a few press ups. You even said it yourself "How did he not play He-Man?" That said he could have done with a few more acting classes.
Yor was and still is awesome. I had a serious crush on Corrine Cleary and Carole Andre. Reb Brown is a legend. Gor is interesting. Talena is the lovely Rebecca Ferratti. Gor is better made but Yor is awesome.
Just found this channel, and in general I enjoy the reviews, but I'm baffled by the final take on Gor (in re which is better, it or Yor). "It's pervy and torture-obsessed"??? Would you review a Fast & Furious movie and complain there are "too many cars"? Would you review a Furry porn site and complain "it's too obsessed with fake animal costumes"? Why even bother reviewing Gor if that's going to be your capstone take? Being pervy and torture-obsessed, in an extremely specific way that caters to an extremely specific fantasy, is the whole point of the Gor franchise. At least you acknowledge off-handedly that the novels are also like this, but Gor is not a normal fantasy genre franchise, and if you're going to criticize something related to its theme, criticize the producers for making Gor without fully realizing what it is and for not making it pervy and torture-obsessed ENOUGH to satisfy its actual audience.
Oliver Reed: So, what’s my character like?
Filmmakers: We couldn’t find Brian Blessed. Do that.
That’s no Stegosaurus. You’ve tried the rest, now Triceratops!
...you bet jurassic park
"How did this guy not play He-Man?" This is a question for the ages.
And when he Gorilla - Pressed that robot! Where's his WWF/WWE contract !!👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪😎🏋️♂️
Technically, He-Man played him (sort of). In the rope swinging scene near the end of the movie a He-Man action figure is used as Yor's stunt double.
@@donwhiteley3293 sorry to rain on your parade. Not a He-Man figure... something closer to a Ken doll.

The "Yor the Warrior" theme played to the hang glider scene swung it for me-
The same theme at the Pag trampeze scene was just as classic
Yor eradicates no less than 5 dofferent civilizations... 2 at the same time while attempting to rescue the survivors of the village that took him in(simultaneously destroying the village while defending it) and inadvertently(or was it as he drowns everyone) killing said survivors while only rescuing his gf and murdering everyone else... this followed ome of the greatest moments IM FILM HISTORY as he killed a bat creature w a single arrow(instantly no less) causing it to immediately enter riger mortis, utilized it as a hang glider, and then missile drop kicking a purple caveman all set to his rockin theme song!!

Apparently, Yor was filmed as a TV series in Italy and then cut down to film length for a theatrical release.

Creature vs. Galaxy of Terror: battle of the low-budget Alien knock-offs.
One has Klaus Kinski but the other has Robert Englund AND Sid Haig!
Damn, that would be a tough choice. My vote would be Galaxy only because of the worm-rape scene.
I like Creature better myself. I think it had a few genuinely scary scenes without relying TOO much on gore/sex. I do admit that could be because I was fairly young when I first watched it and was much older when I first saw Galaxy of Terror.
What about "Forbidden World"!?

I still think it's a shame MST3k never riffed on Yor. But hey, at least we got Ator in "The Cave Dwellers." Hehehe
We’re going to need a lot more hemp before we’re through

I'm pretty sure Gor is based on the book Tarnsmen of Gor, a knockoff of the John Carter series. If I recall there was some controversy over the author having a thing for bondage and it came out in his work.

Pulse 'Yor: Hunter of the Future' has such a cool theme song.
Yor is definitely better, but Gor has a probably hammered Ollie Reed in a wizard costume so I'm kinda still split down the middle on this.
When you said "Gor has stars," my first thought was "Hey, Reb Brown was in Uncommon Valor, and Yor has Anthony Wyngarde (although apparently dubbed)." I actually thought about seening Yor when it came out; guess I dodged that bullet.
Comparative "bad" movies? How about The Earth Dies Screaming vs. Target: Earth?
Two films that would be fun comparing : The Car (1977) and Christine (1983)
Yor has Corrine Clery, sealing the win. I thought the lead hotsy looked familiar.
The only commercial for 'Yor, the Hunter From the Future' that I recall never showed any spaceships or robots. He smacked a burning tree with his stone axe, and there was some talk.
I can't get the title song of Yor out of my head. It's so catchy. My idea for a double bill review: Orca and Barracuda.
As much as celebrity appearances in schlock make me feel like Sideshow Bob when he heard Vanessa Redgrave in a low-brow Fox comedy, I am consoled that this schlock isn't that level of shit. Plus, they chew scenery as if they were coming off hunger strikes.

Yor - wtf, this looks like the best film ever made. Well, maybe not, but I do really want to see it. Preferably while drinking.
Look up Spoonys review of it. Covers the best bits and its a laugh riot.

It seems that in Yor, they reused whatever they had left from the sets and suits of Starcrash
Yor has that theme song- debate over!
"Yor" may have all the razzmatazz and characterizations, but come on; Oliver Reed!
"I am only a pleasure slave." That is one amazing yet confusing lines I have ever heard. I'll pick Gor, but I love Yor nonetheless
Yor of course. Have you not heard his song? "Yor's World he's tha maaaaannnnnnn!!!!!!"
A+ for Big McLargehuge namedrop 😎
Definitely need to do more of these - lots of scope - Hammer’s Horror of Dracula and Curse of Frankenstein is a quality one that springs to mind.
"I have come to guard the Homestarm'n."
"Sewiously, Pom Pom, I'm about to pee my pants."
Yor also had better mechanizing. For example; you watched this video on "Yor" monitor. That monitor was connected to "Yor" computer.
"They worship me as a divine goddess" - as opposed to a non-divine goddess?
And "Take me with you, stranger" must've been a deliberate joke... surely?!??

Not to critique the critic but Reb has done more than a few press ups. You even said it yourself "How did he not play He-Man?" That said he could have done with a few more acting classes.
And I thought I was the only fan of Yor!
Yor was and still is awesome. I had a serious crush on Corrine Cleary and Carole Andre. Reb Brown is a legend. Gor is interesting. Talena is the lovely Rebecca Ferratti. Gor is better made but Yor is awesome.
Just found this channel, and in general I enjoy the reviews, but I'm baffled by the final take on Gor (in re which is better, it or Yor). "It's pervy and torture-obsessed"??? Would you review a Fast & Furious movie and complain there are "too many cars"? Would you review a Furry porn site and complain "it's too obsessed with fake animal costumes"? Why even bother reviewing Gor if that's going to be your capstone take? Being pervy and torture-obsessed, in an extremely specific way that caters to an extremely specific fantasy, is the whole point of the Gor franchise. At least you acknowledge off-handedly that the novels are also like this, but Gor is not a normal fantasy genre franchise, and if you're going to criticize something related to its theme, criticize the producers for making Gor without fully realizing what it is and for not making it pervy and torture-obsessed ENOUGH to satisfy its actual audience.
Yor Reb Brown is the best
