"Yor, the Hunter from the Future" (1983)

An incredibly dim-witted caveman-meets-super-science picture, this Turkish-made foolishness is absolutely astounding in its total disregard for logic, continuity and credibility. At least "Yor" provides plenty of unintentional laughs. The atrociously dubbed dialogue permits the primates to mouth such zingers as "Sink your teeth into this!" and "Your jealousy burns you like the fire." The prehistoric monsters are frightening as only papier-mache creations can be; when a comrade warns Yor about the approaching "creature of the night," he should have added, "You might get tangled up in his wires!"

A booming disco theme adds the final straw that breaks the dinosaur's back. It might have passed muster on Saturday morning television, but served up on the big screen this Turkish turkey is hard to digest.
