I adore YOR
Just saw it on Rifftrax and it was a fine riffing, but this movie would be totally entertaining on its own.
Why do I think that? Well, for the exact same reason everyone else who likes this movie does, so I don't need to state them here, but I will state them here just because i love stating them: The theme song, the dino-fighting, the CONAN ripping off, the STAR WARS ripping off, the lovely ladies, the purple cave-men, the dead giant bat hang gliding, the Reb Brown, the hair, the dubbing, the title spoiling the twist of the movie, the old guy who becomes an instant acrobat...I mean, need I go on? I needn't!
People have talked about all that good stuff already, but I must say I was a bit disappointed when I found out this was a condensed version of a four hour mini-series, because one of my favorite parts was the pacing.
I never got bored. But, if I watched a FOUR HOUR version in Italian, would I get bored?
Hard to say, because as much as I love this movie, Antonio Margheriti also made THE WILD WILD PLANET, and that is easily one of the most boring movies EVER! Can you imagine four hours of that movie?
Also, what are the rules for dino-gore? Because I just watched THE LAST DINOSAUR from 1977, and there were a couple of spurts of Crayola dino blood in that, but in this movie, they have filled the dino props up with GALLONS of blood that spurts all over them and Yor drinks it! Yet no humans bleed and they show no nudity!
Oh, YOR, you are an enigma, wrapped in a mystery! Maybe that's why I love you!
