What happens

Yor, the Hunter from the Future (Italian: Il mondo di Yor, lit. 'The World of Yor') is a 1983 science fiction fantasy film directed by Antonio Margheriti and starring Reb Brown, Corinne Cléry, John Steiner, and Carole André. A co-production between Italy, France, and Turkey, the film is based on the Argentinian comic Yor the Hunter, created by writer Eugenio Juan Zappietro (also known as Ray Collins) and artist Juan Zanotto. Though one of Margheriti's most financially successful films, it received mostly poor reviews at the time of release (especially from Variety and The New York Times) and drew three nominations at the 4th Golden Raspberry Awards in 1984.
