Movie Reviews

Reviewed by Kelly G. 3 / 10

Gods help me, I actually liked this film! Well, a little bit.

Look, I'm not going to kid you. This Italian flick (originally a TV mini-series) is really bad. But maybe the fact that I saw this on a rainy Saturday afternoon put me in the right mind-set. This film ended up reminding me of those old-fashioned monster movies I used to watch on local access TV stations when I was about five years old. The fact that the movie seems subdivided into three specific sections also helps give it that "Saturday Matinee" feel. The first third deals with the mysterious Yor stumbling upon a tribal village. Next, Yor and two companion villagers embark on a quest out in the great prehistoric wastes. Finally, the film does an about face from caveman fantasy to sci-fi when our heroes encounter a galactic warlord type who lives in secret on an island. Actually, to achieve maximum impact, you could watch the three sections separately, with cookie and soda breaks during the intermissions. Or I suppose you could just read a good book instead.

Dinosaurs and stormtroopers

Cavemen on a distant planet are fighting dinosaurs – and later on stormtroopers with black helmets straight from Star Wars. Yor, just one sword wielding barbarian, attacks a whole army of the Empire with far superior laser weapons, because he is a hero and got the right to do silly things. His girlfriend Kalaa is played by former Bond girl Corinne Clery (`Histoire d'O') who looks good in rags ;-) Oliver Onions of Bud Spencer/Terence Hill fame recorded a title theme that can politely be described as just what the movie deserved, including a backing choir of Neanderthal bozos.Yor: `Drinking the blood of our enemies gives us strength!'Reply: `Urgh… I prefer to stay weak then!'One of those movies I find almost impossible to click a number for when I'm voting, because compared to any reasonable movie, this would be a hopeless zero, but it is so much fun to watch it'd deserve an eight. A must-see for Z movie fans!
