the best worst movie ever....

Postby Franklin on Thu Jul 03, 2008 5:08 pm

we just got netflix a little while ago and you know how it is you got to populate your que... so you browse and you try to think about all the movies you would like to see...

so i remembered this "great" movie that i saw when i was a little kid
but all i could remember was that it had cavemen, dinosaurs, and hot women (for a kid- what a great combination right)
but i did not know the title-
so i googled something like: 80's movie cavemen dinosaurs hot women
and i actually found the movie that way
the title:
Yor the Hunter from the Future

and it has to be the best worst movie ever
unfortunately it never made it to dvd
but i found it on youtube
here is the playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... 7671952962
check out the guy's channel for other great stuff

this is the short summary of the movie:
He was a powerful warrior from the future, trapped in a prehistoric land, battling for the survival of his people. A 1983 sci-fi film featuring Yor, an extremely blond prehistoric warrior, comes to question his origins, particularly with regard to a mysterious medallion he wears.


the movies pluses-
hot women (the brunette was in "the story of O")
Yor just goes around fighting dinosaurs and meeting hot women
cavemen, dinosaurs, lasers, robots- this movie has everything

best parts of the movie:
Yor kills a pterodactyl looking creature and uses it as a hang glider to sail into a cave to rescue one of the hot women
when he gets to the advanced civilization they show him a video of this history and he looks at a scene from his childhood and says "hey that's me learning how to hunt" but it looks like it was filmed earlier the same day
the evil guy from the advanced civilization is named "overlord"

the down side-
this movie actually really sucks
very bad acting
too much focus on Yor (for female audience this might be a plus)

if you like really cheesy 80's movies check it out....

yes circle of iron

wasn't it originally written by bruce lee and ended up staring david caradine...
;D (speaking of things like that- while i was in shanghai a couple of years ago i picked up a copy of of the first season of the tv show "kung fu"- it was actually quite good- i mean the story man, not the kung fu)

i think i might actually have a copy of that on vhs buried deep in a closet at my parents house

LOL! Circle of Iron is Great! Especially if it's 3:00 in the morning and you've got a nice buzz going. It just feels so surreal.... :)

You guys are treading on dangerous ground.

Everything I've ever learned that was worth learning is to be learned from that movie.

Best,

I saw Yor when I was 10 or 11 y/o, and I loved it. Hell, I even remember the song at the ending, and it has been the first and last time I've seen it.

"Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Manos" still have my vote as the best pieces of shit in film.

Special mention for "The Beast of Yucca Flats"

Not really best/worst but certainly best cheapest ....Bad Taste (made on the weekend over 4 years for ca $25k but the NZfilmcom did throw $200k at it towards the end)

merely for the lines " Hit him with Magnum, Barry!" " I'm a Derrick...Derrick's don't run"
and " ah the old magic's still there" (after pulling an alien head off its still thrashing spinal cord and drop kicking it out the window.)

BRILLIANT!

bestworst-yeah ...Plan 9...if only for the Demise of Bella Lagosie(sp) and his understudy being 30years younger and almost 2ft taller... painful to watch

would Street Trash be in the Best-Worst category?
What I really need right now is a montage....

LOL! Gymkata was SOOO bad! "Best of the Best" was actually kinda cool except for some pieces of really stooopid dialogue that coulda been taken out.
