    YOR, Hunter of the Future, was he Yor hunter? certainly wasn't mine.

    Beastmaster has the better hair,( even Spaghetti sci fi budgets ought to allow for a better wig than Yor's one would think). Advantage to Yor for hot chicks though & more behind shots. & the Darth Vader offspring at the end was pretty cool. Other than that, I can find no other advantage over Beastmaster.

    The Beastmaster had naked Tanya Roberts in it. What more can one ask for?

    Yor was filmed in Turkey & is visually stunning.

    i think the theme song alone from yor wins this battle. but then i had a yor poster on my wall for years, so i'm probably biased.

    it should be noted that yor was originally a tv miniseries in turkey and the u.s. theatrical cut probably left out all the good stuff. although i find that difficult to believe.

    This is like a choice between Mad Dog or Thunderbird.

    Yor shoots it load in the first half-hour and by the remainder we have Beef McStrongpunch doing everything but a small chase in a futuristic golf cart. I think The Beastmaster is a more solid product overall, even though that descends into a weird ending as well. Then again it was on so much when I was growing up it might have simply softened my brain.

    So Mulholland Falls is the most one could ask for?

    Beastmaster is a classic. I remember when it ran 5 times a day on TNT and TBS.

    WHere else can you see kids sacrificed to an evil god by Rip Torn "SEE! (some diety whose name I forget), WANTS YOUR CHILDREN!"

    Are you agreeing with me in pirate speak, or is that the name of the evil god? :p

    I wanted to say Dar, but that's Beastmaster's name. Never could find anything in online searches. INTERNET FAILED ME.

    It looks like it is Ar, or "R", if you will.

    Naked Jennifer Connelly in her prime trumps Tanya Roberts. But Beastmaster had naked Tanya Roberts and bad-ass John Amos with a staff. That trumps naked Jennifer Connelly(well topless Jennifer Connelly. Naked it's a toss-up).
