Yor, the Hunter from the Future (1983)

We had ourselves a rough one last week, my dear Enemaniacs. The only way to make up for that? Reb Brown.

Oh yes, save us all, Reb! We need salvation from shitty robot ladies who weren’t robots but also maybe brainwashed but weren’t brainwashed. We need something Italian. We need something French. We need something Turkish. We need Yor, the Hunter from the Future!

Welcome to this looooong overdue review for B-Movie Enema. I picked up this Blu-Ray when it was released several years ago with the intention for this to be covered here. I don’t know what kept me from fulfilling that promise the day it arrived, but here we are.

This movie is, indeed, an Italian-French-Turkish co-production. I’ve only once before delved into the world of Turkish cinema, but know they like making movies. They really like making movies that look and play out like American films. But you know the Italians like doing that too. With the Italian side of the production comes director Antonio Margheriti. Margheriti did a lot of lower-budget stuff and was mostly doing the typical Italian genres of crime action films, science fiction, spaghetti westerns, and horror. Notably, Margheriti made films like Castle of Blood starring Barbara Steele, Cannibal Apocalypse starring John Saxon, Death Rage starring Yul Brynner in his final role, and several action movies with David Warbeck.

Naturally, we know Reb Brown. We’ve seen him a couple times before. We saw him don the stars and stripes as Captain America in the late 70s. We saw him stop a Space Mutiny. He is most definitely everyone’s favorite Big McLargehuge. But, as Yor, he’s joined by a couple other recognizable folks. First, we have John Steiner. Steiner played Bruno in Shock (aka Beyond the Door II). We also have a former Bond girl, Corinne ClĂ©ry, who we saw as the embattled wife of Dr. Simpson in The Devil’s Honey.

So, while Yor is an Italian-French-Turkish production, it’s actually based on an Argentinian comic book. The Yor comic book was originally published in 1974 but made its way to Italy in 1975. Understand that when you deal with Argentina, Italy, and France, these are all countries that have a very, very deep appreciation for comics. Italy has long had a relationship with comics, with perhaps the best-known comic from the boot being Dylan Dog which started in 1986. In the 70s, France had an incredibly influential series that eventually became a big-budget film called Valerian et Laureline (mostly just referred to as Valerian). They also had the incredible artist Jean Giraud, known to the world as MÅ“bius.

Argentina has had a great history of comic books. The “Golden Age of Argentine Comics” came between the mid-40s and lasted into the 60s. One title I have read myself is El Eternuata (The Eternaut) from 1957-1959. It’s about an alien invasion that begins with deadly snow that falls and wipes out most of the population of Earth. The story is told through the eyes of a single hero character, Juan Salvo. However, it’s far deeper than just this alien invasion science fiction story. There are lots of subtle interpretations and subversive references that are often read as being writer HĂ©ctor GermĂ¡n Oesterheld’s attack on the mid-50s coup that opposed the populist government led by Juan PerĂ³n. It’s a whole thing and I’m not entirely sure I’m the right person to really explain it all as I don’t fully understand the political climate of Argentina in the second half of the 20th century. I do know The Eternaut is a very good book.

When it comes to Yor, its adaptation came mostly thanks to the popularity of 1982’s Conan the Barbarian. The early 80s were taken by the fantasy elements of sword and sorcery films. Suddenly, all sorts of movies aping on Conan were put into production by all the usual suspects. Roger Corman got involved, major studios got involved, and, of course, the Italians got involved. But they weren’t alone. The Turkish film industry also wanted a piece. This was right in the heart of Turksploitation which found all sorts of blockbuster copies coming out of Turkey.

Let’s dive into this unique sci-fi/fantasy flick and finally give this movie its long-overdue attention!

There are a couple things I absolutely need to point out in these opening minutes. First, I love how proudly this movie displays that it is rated PG. I like the idea of having barbarian movies coming in the wake of Conan the Barbarian that are rated PG. All the kiddos need to see men in loincloths and women in cleavage-friendly tops. But nothing can top that bitchin’ ass Yor theme song. There are lyrics and everything! I feel like this is maybe trying to cash in on some of that sweet Queen “Flash” business from 1980’s Flash Gordon. Listen to it below and you tell me.

There’s a tribe of people who are giving thanks to their gods for blessing these people with fertile land to live off and a fairly decent little existence. We then see an old man and a sexy babe hunting little creatures that have spiny bits all over its outer shell-like body. However, when they try to take the little creature for themselves, they are suddenly attacked by a large “stegoceratops”. That is exactly what you think it is, part stegosaurus and mostly triceratops. Luckily, Yor was nearby and was able to come to the aid of the babe and the old man to fight the stegoceratops.

There is some serious charm in this battle. It would be very easy to create a stop-motion creature and then do the superimposing trick for filming this scene. No, This is a mostly real prop. Well, at least in the sense that there is a giant creature prop that Reb Brown is fighting against. It’s fucking awesome.

Also, it’s awesome that Yor basically takes this thing down with nothing more than his bare hands and his tiny stone hatchet. He hops around it, swings his hatchet, and connects with its flesh several times. There’s blood all over and it’s a fun little scene that you could see in almost any caveman movie but it just looks good. This is an impressive little scene for a movie that is clearly playing it somewhat safe with a small budget and stays keen on being a sort of copy or ripoff of the bigger-budget Conan franchise.

And that makes Yor happy.

Yor is not part of this tribe. They don’t seem to know who he is or where he comes from. The babe is Kalaa (Corinne ClĂ©ry) and Yor ingratiates himself by cutting the throat of the dead stegoceratops, drinking its blood, and offering some to her. That’s some alpha shit there. Anyway, He says he’s Yor and he’s from the mountains.

There is something one of the elders recognizes about Yor. He wears a medallion made of some sort of metal ore that is unfamiliar to most people. The elder recognizes a similar medallion worn by a princess that he’s seen glisten on her chest when the sun strikes it… Sure, you just happen to notice her chest, er, the medallion ON her chest. sure, old man. Anyway, she’s now worshipped as a queen. Yor is curious about this tale, but there’s no time for that now. He’s invited to the tribe’s festival and to dine with them. He graciously accepts.

And that makes Kalaa happy… in her lady bits.

There’s some good barbarian/caveman seduction and flirting going on here. At the festival, Kalaa joins in on some dancing with a group of other tribe girls. She gives him the sexy eyes all the time. He smiles and compliments her dancing. I’m rooting for these kids.

Anyway, she tells Yor that he is so different than the other men she’s met. He just seems… smarter or something. Just then, some rampaging men from another tribe that look more like real cavemen barely evolved out of a more simian species attack. Yor, Kalaa, and her mentor, Pag, are able to escape. Yor says they need to find out if anyone from the tribe survived the attack so they can help them. Pag wants Kalaa to stay safe with Yor while he goes back to check on the tribe.

The only survivor at the tribe’s home is the elder who recognized Yor’s medallion. The women who were not killed were taken by the savages. The elder tells Pag to go with Yor as his and Kalaa’s fate rests with him. He is about to say something more about Yor but dies. Meanwhile, Yor leads Kalaa to the inside of a large tree’s trunk where he used to hide from danger when he was little. He tells Kalaa to sleep while he stands guard.

Kalaa asks Yor about his medallion. He says it’s a fire that burns within him that has no answer. He has always had it but has no idea where he came from as he doesn’t remember having a mother or father. Kalaa gets a little sad thinking that wherever he’s from, there must be more men like him… and women that he belongs to.

Later, Kalaa and Yor are cornered by the ape-men who fight against Yor as he gives her a chance to escape. Pag is unable to assist even though he’s not that far away and has proven to be a pretty good shot with his bow and arrow. I dunno… Maybe he’s just a useless old. Yor is eventually overpowered by the group of ape-men. Their leader, Ukan, snatches the medallion off Yor’s knocked-out body and declares himself now the wielder of Yor’s power. Kalaa tries to fight back against the gang, but she’s captured and taken to their cave where the other villagers have been stashed away. Ukan tells his group to toss Yor’s body off a cliff to be rid of him.

Pag watched Yor get attacked. He watched as Kalaa was taken prisoner. He did nothing. Now that two of Ukan’s men are about to toss Yor off a cliff, THAT’S when he gets involved. He shoots one of the men with an arrow, but the second guy charged with dealing with Yor just throws him off the cliff anyway.

Great job, Pag.

Anyway, Yor does survive, because he’s Reb Brown. He climbs back up the rock face and finds Pag. Pag tells Yor that the laws of his people say that he lost Kalaa to Ukan in battle and therefore she now belongs to him. Yor’s like, “Yeah, your laws suck my taint” and decides he’s going to go get her back anyway.

I guess I should say that these savages aren’t so much ape-men as much as they are just your typical cavemen. Specifically, they are referred to as “blue cavemen” on Wikipedia because they either paint themselves blue or they just have blue skin. They do have much more ape-like or Cromagnon features anyway. So, whatever. I do like that their cave is kind of cozy. They have a snake pit. They chase women around. They eat giant legs of meat. They even have a drawbridge system that allows you to walk over the snake pit. I guess it’s more of a river of snakes or a mud stream of snakes? It’s clearly wet and soggy and there are definitely snakes in it.

These guys that Ukan leads remind me partially of Klingons and something that you’d see in classic Doctor Who. They also do that classic bad guy thing of building a hierarchy through might. Ukan picks a few guys to do a battle with him. Whoever comes out victorious gets Kalaa as their prize. Ukan wins. Of course.

But… Yor and Pag are outside and calculating a way to get in and save Kalaa. And, I suppose, also other people who the blue cavemen took prisoner? Maybe? I dunno. Seems like only Kalaa is their concern. Now, Pag says that there are too many sentries for them to be able to get in and get her. They see a monster bird fly over. Yor knocks it out of the sky and then beats the shit out of it.

Now, I want you to guess how Yor plans to save Kalaa. We know Ukan has many sentries. He’s in a cave that really only gives one way in and one way out. Yor knocked that bird out of the sky and beat the shit out of it. So what’s the play here, hero man?

Just swoop right in and save the day!

Oh, my Enemaniacs. I kind of love this movie – wholeheartedly. Yor used the goddamned carcass of that dead monster bird thing and used it to fly in and get Kalaa back from the blue cavemen dudes. Fucking brilliant!

As for the other captives, I do think they are totally fucked. They are not saved by Pag and Yor. Yor and Kalaa find a part of the cave where there is this scary-looking statue and a small bridge with a bunch of bones of people in a pit. Yor discovers the cave runs right next to a lake. Yor busts up the dam keeping the lake at bay and floods out the cavemen’s cave. The cavemen are all killed.

AS ARE THE OTHER CAPTIVE TRIBE PEOPLE!

No shit, they are all dead. Yor killed everyone, including the poor captive women who were captured earlier and likely were treated very poorly. I have to assume that these were friends and even possibly loved ones of Pag and Kalaa. I mean… right? Surely they knew some of those poor girls. I say knew because those poor girls are no longer people they can know!

Kalaa and Pag continue to travel with Yor as they all basically try to unravel the mystery of who he is. They travel into a desert where the sand people (not the Star Wars kind and not the sort of racial slur kind) are said to live. They are diseased people who worship a fire god. Apparently, they also are known to use magic. Yor decides to go looking around while Pag and Kalaa camp for the night. Sure enough, Yor is captured by the sand people.

A woman’s voice commands the sand people to bring Yor to her. I believe this is supposedly the woman that has a similar medallion as Yor does that the old man was talking about earlier. Well, this lady is a stone-cold fox. This lady is Roa. She is indeed the woman who is worshipped as a queen by these people.

She says that she came here to the desert with the men who are encased in the ice in the wall. As we look at the frozen people in the ice that provides the water that is terribly vital to the survival of the sand people, these people also have medallions like Roa and Yor. Yor says that, obviously, they must represent some sort of race of people. They should go and find the answers to their questions about where they came from. Roa isn’t so interested in that. The sand people will never allow her to leave. Besides, the sand people have a knack for sacrificing anyone they capture, and Yor’s next.

This is a kind of interesting thing. The sand people worship Roa as their queen, but, at the same time, they treat her as an unwilling captive. She has relative safety with the sand people, but it’s kind of a Rapunzel concept, right? She has what she needs and will be safe, but she doesn’t possess the freedom to leave the cave she is kept in.

Yor also tells her that her laws suck his taint and fights back when he’s about to be sacrificed, as is the customs of the sand people. He also basically tells their customs to eat a donkey turd because he is leaving with Roa whether they allow it or not. Additionally, Kalaa is none-too-pleased by having another stone-cold fox around competing for Yor’s attention.

There is a whole other read here that is kind of… unfortunate. You see Yor and Roa are both people who possess those medallions, right? They are obviously different than the average tribesperson, blue caveman, or sand person. They speak in different ways. They seem stronger and generally built differently. They are also blondes with blue eyes. Everyone else has had darker features, including Kalaa. Even though she is seemingly capable, there have been multiple mentions of race, how Yor seeks his race, and how Roa can take him from Kalaa because of their race. It’s a little too ubermenschy for my comfort.

And the Germans were nowhere near this movie or original property.

Anyway, I guess not all the blue cavemen were killed as some, including Ukan, survived. They have designs on taking Kalaa and Roa and beating the fuck out of Yor for messing up their cave. Roa gets knocked out pretty good with a blow to the head, but Kalaa cares for her while Yor bashes Ukan’s head with a rock and throws him off a waterfall to his death.

Well, not all that’s well will end well. Sure, Ukan is dead, but Roa has a lot of blood coming out of her head. Before she dies, she says that some of her memories are returning. There’s a beautiful fortress in the middle of the sea. That’s where their people are. She gives her medallion to Kalaa. She also tells him that Kalaa loves him deeply and should be part of their people. They bury her and Pag tells Yor they have a long way to go to get where they must go to find his people.

Smash cut to the sea. Apparently, they were right next to it. They still have to figure out how to get to the fortress in the middle of said sea. First, they have to deal with some nasty business. As Kalaa fishes for food, Pag and Yor save a trio of children who are getting attacked by a dimetrodon. This is another lovely creature effect in this movie as, like with the stegoceratops, we have a full-on physical prop for Reb Brown to fight with.

The beast is defeated and Yor, Kalaa, and Pag are befriended by the children and their tribe. The tribe’s village is right on the sea and seems peaceful enough. Yor notices something odd about the guards. They aren’t looking out… They are looking UP. The children say they are on the lookout for the gods.

That’s kind of odd. But never mind that for a moment. The oldest of the children who were saved by Yor and crew from the dimetrodon is Tarita. She’s played by Luigina Rocchi. Just three years before this movie, she was in Cannibal Holocaust. Anyway, she asks Kalaa if she is Yor’s woman. She says yes. Tarita asks where his other wives are. Kalaa doesn’t quite like how much of a chick magnet ol’ Punt Speedchunk is as he goes around and kills dinosaurs who endanger babes.

The head of the village, who I must assume is named Broseph because this is obviously a bombed-out surfer tribe, says his daughter Tarita is now Yor’s. That’s the custom in their village. You save a girl, she is now your woman. Yor isn’t quite to tell this law to suck his taint but does decline saying he’s got a woman – an absolute silver medal in the form of Kalaa. Broseph says, well, if they won’t take his maybe barely legal daughter, maybe Yor and gang will stay for some hospitality and nourishment.

Yor agrees to that. He asks about why the guards are looking out for gods. Broseph says they recently killed a god who fell from the sky. They fear retribution. Yor thinks that the dude couldn’t have been a god if they could kill him. There is something that was left behind by the god dying in a fiery explosion. It looks like a light or something kind of futuristic. Yor surmises that this supposed god the tribe killed was maybe not evil, but the two sides couldn’t communicate with each other and both acted out of sudden fear.

When Pag returns to retrieve his bow and arrows from where they investigated that futuristic-looking thing that was left behind by the dead god, a laser shoots out of the device and burns down the village. It also speaks. It’s reporting back that the “mission was complete” to its home base. Unfortunately for the village, there is a lot of death and destruction, including that of Broseph. Yor swears that these cannot be gods as no gods would be so cruel. He will get revenge for what has happened to Broseph’s village.

Tarita tells Yor that the fishermen do tell tales of a mysterious island in the sea that is always surrounded by terrible storms. If that is what Yor is seeking, she will give him her father’s boat to travel there. She says it is out in the direction of the setting sun. Yor, Kalaa, and Pag set sail for the mysterious island.

I should mention something here as we conclude Act Two and move into the final stage of Yor, the Hunter from the Future. This film was originally made as a four-part miniseries for Italian TV. It makes a lot of sense in many ways. The movie’s 88 minutes in length. That means it breaks evenly into four 22-minute parts. It’s also very episodic in nature. First Yor meets Kalaa and Pag and the mystery of who and what he is is set into motion. Then, the travels begin and Ukan must be defeated, Roa is met, and then you get to the coastal village that will help you get to the final part that will resolve the mystery of who Yor is and where he comes from. The film is orderly in that regard and it does have a Part One, Part Two, Part Three, and Part Four feel instead of acts of a singular, concise film plot.

That said, this, as a movie, is quite well made and very serviceable as a fantasy adventure film. If you don’t like these types of movies, this one won’t win you over, but I can’t say this movie fails to deliver on my expectations for a movie like this. The added bonus is that the movie knows where and how to use its budget. It mostly sticks to what is likely a relatively small location where it can conserve money on those location shoots. Yet it has those wonderful dinosaurs that really look great and give this movie a more expensive look than it really was.

Things are about to get surprisingly weird.

As was stated by Tarita in the stories from the breach village’s fishermen, there is a storm that quickly forms the further out Yor, Kalaa, and Pag sail. The storm tosses Yor from the boat and wrecks the boat as it approaches shore. Yor wakes up on the beach with no sign of Pag or Kalaa anywhere. Little does Yor know, he’s being watched from somewhere on the island.

It should be stated that Yor, the Hunter from the Future is more than a fantasy adventure. It’s actually a science fiction tale. The “god that fell from the sky” and had that device that ultimately destroyed the beach village was a sentry from this island’s fortress. These are robotic soldiers that look suspiciously similar to another very popular sci-fi villain.

Yeah, Lord Helmut from Spaceballs!

These robotic soldiers surround Yor and shoot him with their lasers. This knocks him out and he collapses where he can now be captured. They report that two more intruders are on the island and we see Pag and Kalaa sneaking around. They find a metal door that opens and more sentries come out to capture them. However, before Kalaa and Pag are found, a pale man in a white outfit pulls them into a crevasse in the rock face. He says he is a friend and asks the pair to come with him. He also explains that the sentries are the robotic soldiers of someone named Overlord.

Elsewhere, inside Overlord’s fortress on the island, Yor is being studied by a woman named Ena. Ena says two things to him when he first awakens. First, she is a friend. Second, this is the home he left when he was a child. He asks to be released, but she says a third thing – she must obey the orders she was given. She does free his hands from being held down on the slab he’s on.

Ena reveals Yor’s entire history to him. His medallion did indeed possess the information he was always seeking. He was born Gallahad. His father was a rebel who stood up to this guy named the Overlord. When he and his parents escaped, their transport exploded and somehow he was the only survivor. This is a world that is post-apocalyptic after a nuclear war. This is actually Earth and not some mythical other place.

Basically, Overlord has control of the rest of the world’s nuclear weapons. He runs things with an iron fist. That’s kind of funny because he does seem to have a metal hand. Yor is a perfect specimen. Think of him as the peak of human potential. I guess Reb Brown really is Captain America after all. He has quite an interest in Yor because of what he can do with a perfect specimen like that to create a new race of people that he can control and repopulate Earth with.

There is only one problem…

The Overlord is a bit of a moron. While he monologues about how he has total control over everyone and everything on the island, Yor just sneaks out the fucking room. This is partly thanks to Ena who purposely left the door partially open after hearing that Kalaa and Pag are still alive but currently missing.

If there’s one thing that gives Overlord some saving grace, it’s that he has eyes everywhere and control over every door in his fortress. He is able to watch where Yor goes and gives him access through otherwise locked doors. Elsewhere, Pag and Kalaa are taken to a hideaway for people who oppose Overlord. There, Ena tells Kalaa that Yor is still alive. Ena tells Kalaa that it would not be wise for her to see Yor. Overlord released Yor to hopefully act as a way to lead him to Kalaa and Pag and use them against Yor.

The leader of the resistance to Overlord also reveals himself. It would seem he also has plans for Yor like Overlord does. They’ve long planned a rebellion and now that the son of their greatest rebel has returned it would seem they think they can now turn the tides in their favor. They plan to make Yor their new leader in the new world they will build once Overlord is overthrown.

The resistance is perfectly fine with Kalaa sneaking out to find Yor as I guess that’s their plan all along? Are both sides stupid? Did both sides let people they didn’t initially intend to allow free roam through the fortress sneak out only to later say it was part of their plans all along? I’m rather suspect of this future, advanced race.

After some hall of mirrors shenanigans, Yor and Kalaa reunite. Yor leads Kalaa to the room he woke up in. He wants to show her what Ena showed him, but Overlord teleports into the room. He says that Kalaa is a perfect specimen who was finally born in a world that was ruined by the nuclear fallout. His plans are a little wonky if I’m being honest.

So here goes… The Overlord builds robots to serve him because he can program them to obey, right? For fleshy human people, he can really only be a tough guy type of ruler. He wants a race of people to think his way. So, in order to build that race that will think the way he wants them to think, and serve his desires on a generational level, he plans to operate on Yor’s brain to make him a perfectly obedient servant of the Overlord, with all bad thoughts completely wiped out. The plan then, as Overlord puts it, Yor’s new way of thinking will transmit to his genes as he inseminates Kalaa. The resulting children will be obedient to Overlord. Then, he’ll kill Yor.

Really? How does that work? Your thoughts are not genetic. Sure, some people are genetically predisposed to be more open-minded or close-minded, but still, there’s a lot of wiggle room there in terms of nurture vs. nature. You don’t “download” your beliefs, intelligence, or whatever to your genes. You pass physical traits. Sure, some intelligence traits can be passed down, but it’s extremely rare that it becomes a guarantee that if someone carries a trait for something that would include some sort of mental acuity or disability it will carry to the offspring. I think the Overlord has spent too much time sniffing his own farts for this plan to work.

Whatever, the rebels, knowing what Overlord has planned for Yor and Kalaa (somehow), attack and save the pair from their eventual brainwashing and begin taking on Overlord’s robotic army. The blind leader of the resistance group has begun taking over the robot army sector by sector. It’s kind of great that this final climatic battle between good and evil takes place in a very similar setting as most of Space Mutiny. This fills me with a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings.

Overlord plans to stop the destruction of his remaining nuclear weapon stockpile that the rebellion is planning to destroy. He and Yor do briefly face off. Overlord has his magic metal glove that overpowers Yor but when he turns to go to the elevator to get to the stockpile, Yor impales Overlord with a pole. Yor and the resistance plan to leave the island on an escape vessel. Pag buys them some time to get on the ship, but he’s cornered by the Overlord’s robots. The old man who led the resistance shuts down the last of the robots so the rest of the heroes can escape.

As the old man tells Overlord that he will not be able to rule the world anymore, the ship escapes and the stockpile explodes, destroying the island. It is now up to Yor and the other survivors of the island to make the world a better place now that they are free from the potential rule of the Overlord.

This movie is mostly pretty great. It’s more than just your run-of-the-mill sword and sorcery type of movie. I actually quite like the main characters of Yor, Kalaa, and Pag. Sure, Pag is an old man who often gets himself in trouble or is unable to help when Yor or Kalaa needs an extra set of hands, but he is a kindly old man who is very protective of Kalaa and supportive of Yor. Kalaa was a mostly capable character in her own right. She was always willing to fight alongside her man and her mentor and never seemed uniquely out of her depths. And, yeah, Yor is a pretty likable hero. I think a lot of that is indeed due to Reb Brown’s general likability as an action hero.

Most of the critique of the movie can be levied directly at the final 30 or so minutes. The movie doesn’t give too much indication that it is going to go hard Star Wars in tone for the climax. It would almost make more sense that Yor is a genetic step forward in evolution instead of from a more advanced race that was not walked backward by the nuclear holocaust wiping civilization out. If there had been a few more instances of something watching Yor or more indications that Yor was from what can only be called a different world than the other characters he interacted with, then it could have maybe made for a more interesting turn in that final third of the movie. We’re kind of left scratching our heads about this sudden twist that makes it a completely different type of movie than it was before.

Look, I mentioned classic Doctor Who earlier when I said the blue cavemen looked like something that would have worked in a show like that. It’s not hurt by the idea that there was a time in which Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor was traveling with a more uncivilized, primitive woman named Leela who dressed and acted in many ways similar to Kalaa. Obviously, I’m not against the idea of mixing a primitive group of people with a technologically advanced group of people. That doesn’t bother me at all. The movie’s main strike against it is the lack of properly mixing the two concepts together in an even way that doesn’t jar the viewer when they watch the movie.

In all, if you like Reb Brown, or you’re into barbarian movies, or you are looking for a fun movie to watch with friends that does some things pretty well and has a heck of a whiplash-inducing turn in the final third, I’d say give Yor a shot. You could find far worse ways to spend 88 minutes of your life. We should probably wrap things up for this week, but next time, I’m going to be dealing with an unwanted guest who just can’t seem to be shaken and sent packing. Of course, I’m not sure everyone would want to tell Ann-Margret to get lost, but I digress.

Next week, we’ve got to litter train a real Kitten with a Whip!
