Reb Brown and Corinne Cléry in YOR - HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE (1983) 

This 80s movie is a somewhat unofficial remake of GIANT OF METROPOLIS (1961) starring Gordon Mitchell. The 1961 movie didn't have dinosaurs like YOR and it was about Atlantis more than floating city but the base of the story is almost identical: a simple but strong 'cave' man leads people about only to be captured by an advance civilization and they run experiments on his body. This is a post-apocalyptic story in which survivors reverted back to cavemen-like living (which includes dinosaurs!?) It's a cheesy entertaining popcorn movie. It was a miniseries in Italy which means there's tons more fun if the miniseries ever gets released. It's hard to believe it was actually released theatrically in North America. I like it but it's definitely campy and sometimes cringe. Certainly that wig Reb has. Just like many other PEPLUM movies of the 1980s. His necklace holds the future of his existence (like THE SON OF SPARTACUS). Reb was fit and made a fun hero. Cléry was a Bond girl in MOONRAKER (1979). John Steiner is The Overlord. We only see his outline and arm. Sold as science-fiction but there's very little science in it.
