Sci-fi's Greatest Hits, #84: "Yor's World" from "Yor, the Hunter From the Future".

"Yor's World". Music by Guido De Angelis and Maurizio De Angelis. Lyrics by Cesare De Natale, Barbara Antonia, Paulina Hanna and Susan Duncan Smith. Performed by Oliver Onions (Guido De Angelis and Maurizio De Angelis). Title song for "Yor, the Hunter From the Future" (1983 - Diamant Film, RAI-Radiotelevisione Italiana. Distributed by Columbia Pictures). "Yor, the Hunter From the Future" is one of the zillion or so muscleman movies to be released in the wake of 1982's "Conan the Barbarian", though its path to the big screen wasn't exactly direct. The property first saw life as a Argentinian comic from the mid '70s called "Yor the Hunter", which was adapted into a four-part miniseries for Italian TV, "Il Mondo di Yor" ("The World of Yor") in 1983. The motion picture was edited out of that footage. You can find all four chapters of the miniseries on Dailymotion. It's in Italian with English subtitles and while the picture quality isn't primo, it's still perfectly watchable. I've seen part one and it's worth taking a look if you're at all curious. The tone of the story doesn't change much, though Yor comes off as craftier (he uses false clues to lure a party of the beast people into death by quicksand) and more introspective. Further hazards are encountered too, such as lava pits and a cyclopean, gape-mouthed octopus. I find "Yor" to be one of the more entertaining Conan knockoffs, with its wide-ranging environments and full-sized monster mockups. Reb Brown turns the title character into an athletic, amiable action hero. No one would mistake him for a Shakespearean performer, but Ian McKellen wouldn't have made a very convincing Yor either, so it all evens out. The production does offer plenty to sneer at: the first dinosaur menace is a ridiculous blending of Stegosaurus and Triceratops... Yor uses a dead giant bat as a hang-glider... the big baddy is done to death by a pole resembling a huge striped candy stick. I'm not at all familiar with the comic, so couldn't say if it provides story elements more promising than those chosen; what did make it to the screen has always been more than enough to keep me amused. Composer John Scott provided a selection of rousing soundtrack cues, but that's not what registers with most folks when considering "Yor's" music. Guido and Maurizio De Angelis (known collectively as Oliver Onions for performance purposes) came up with a very catchy title song in "Yor's World", lending the production a lot of camp value. I don't know if it's still recognizable today, but back in the '80s it was a favorite of B-movie afficiandos. The version in this video came from the soundtrack album. It's considerably longer than what's heard during the opening and closing credits, which is truncated and spoken over and therefore not useable. Aside from runtime, there are no notable differences.
