Why would triceratops (a herbivorous dinosaur) attack a human?

Yes, I realize I’m probably the only person who wondered that.

52
Meshi June 22, 2009 at 5:44 pm

Wow, genocide and rampant misogyny. I’m beginning to see why this movie never made it to DVD.

BTW, the Darth Vader/Hello Kitty line was so damn funny, I needed to pause the video because I was laughing my ass off.

And wait a minute, is that Overlord dude one of the baddies from Superman 2?

lol, I have never heard of this movie at all. I’m glad you have brought something this horrendously awesome to our attention. Also, I think they are saying “Wild beasts” instead if “white bees” simply because it fits better.

But yeah, I guess we know why civilization is all doomed. Not because of aliens, but because of Yor’s ability to destroy entire races within a five minute battle scene.

Meshi, I noticed that as well. But I also noticed something else, the Triceratops has canines! He’s got meat ripping teeth!

Suplex a train… that is awesomer, dammit… I am sad to admit it.

Good to see you back in action Spoonz.

I really thought this was going to be Turkish Star Wars, but I guess I’ll just have to wait for the sheer awesomeness that that will be another time. If your written review had me in a coma of laughter, making a Video review will blow my effing testicles off.

But Yor, you gotta admit. He’s the man

Only way this could have EVER been better…

A nice reference to “The Thing” review… a “Genocide” counter that flashed every time Yor annihilated a civilisation. :P

His BEST movie review! He’s the man!

No KillerBunnyFooFoo, it’s definitely “white bees.” That’s part of the mystery, and part of why he’s the man.

Hey, this video won’t load for me. Any reason why?

61
Fifthrate July 16, 2009 at 6:33 am

I remember seeing this movie on cable when I was in my teens thinking it was the funniest thing I’d ever seen… Then I rented Space Mutiny. Reb Brown is “The Man”!

Sangii July 18, 2009 at 11:17 am

I’ve been watching this review a lot lately, because I have Yor’s theme song stuck in my head. xD
It’s one of my favorites.

So why does this thing reminds me Zardoz here and there? Or makes me think it’s Flash Gordon combined WITH Zardoz? o.O

64
Taco Dan July 27, 2009 at 3:52 am

Where can I find this movie on DVD? I want to watch it!

65
Pete August 10, 2009 at 2:23 pm

Joe H. August 20, 2009 at 3:12 am

Spoony’s the man.. That was an awesome review, made me wish it were longer. I laughed hard every time there was some kind of miraculous stunt that Yor pulled to save the day as they proceeded to played the Yor theme song again.. Fucking brilliant..

Shay August 20, 2009 at 7:45 am

i got the trigun reference! lol go spoony

John August 20, 2009 at 8:06 pm

hmm… who’d win in a fight? Yor or Flash?

71
Paul Servo August 20, 2009 at 9:32 pm

Years ago I remember begging my mother to rent this from the video store. When she finally did, I remember my reaction was WTF? Overlord’s not just impaled, he wanders the entire base for 20 minutes with that stick in his stomache.

Thank you for this Spoony, you helped ease years of torment this film had brought me

After the first purple cavemen attack my brother commented: “Now time for the Flying Purple People Eater!” A second later, the giant bat appeared. We died laughing.

I wondered the same thing. You think everybody is stupid but you?

”He’s Stupid and smells like ass” LoL i laughed my ass off. Keep it up Spoony…Or else..

so Yor needs pot to make a raft. I guess he needs something to pass time.

“We will need alot more hemp before were through” Best quote. Ever.

78
J-Naps September 21, 2009 at 11:40 pm

Must find movie

Must get entire Reb Brown filmography

Yor really is the man, and I say the hello kitty vaders look more like dark helmet only scaled down

You know, the odd thing is, I don’t have a movie I think roleplaying should be like.
Really, I have a series of videogames.
I can’t actually look at LotR and think “Yeah, that’s what fantasy roleplay should be like”.
I do, however, have a series of books, and the way they play out in my mind is how roleplaying should be done.
They’re known as the Abhorsen Trilogy, by Garth Nix.
Never will you read teenage fiction so vivid in its description, so heart thumpingly good in its action, that it defines your entire thoughts on roleplay.

“No tries to lead the way.”
No is exactly Yor.

Stalkerman October 14, 2009 at 4:20 pm

ok. I have to say wow. Your review of this film was hilarious.
What does kind of sadden me is I remember watching this film almost 19 years ago. And at the age of 6 this film was entertaining, but today yor: hunter from the future seems more like a Uwie Bowle Film then a serious attempt at film making. the only reason I would watch it now, is to rip on it. (which is alot of fun)
Also touching on something stated in the review. In yor’s intro song there is the line “He never sees the sun”
correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like its somewhere between noon and 3pm, In a desert, with the glare of the sun bouncing off of yar’s womanly physique and blinding you.
What is this guy? Blind? Or does he have Super Awesome 3.5 Drow Darkvison going on?

We’ll need more hemp before we’re through.

Lol…fremen….can you get any more awesome spoonyone?

This is still one of your best reviews. It’s also the one I would recommend for a new-comer to the your awesomeness.

86
Dave November 11, 2009 at 3:51 pm

I just pent $35 on an official VHS copy because this review was so funny.

This movie is also available on CED Video Disk. There are 2 copies on ebay.

Awsome review and a high funnyfactor. My first thought to mind, when the Overlord and Yor was in the same scene, was: this looks like a lowbudget He-Man movie, with Yor as He-Man and Overlord as Keldor (before Skeletor became Skeletor, he was a man known as Keldor). A barbaric, yet tecnological world, much like Eternia… Btw, great work :cD

Bskcase November 19, 2009 at 8:02 pm

I don’t know how I ended up here, but I’m so glad I did. That was an awesome review and I totally forgot about that movie. I saw that when I was like 5 at a cheat drive-in. Your shit is so dope man. You rule!

Man, classic Spoony review. One of my favourites along with the “make my video” series.
