''[[Yor, the Hunter from the Future]]'', also known as ''Yor's World'', is a film released in 1983.

* [[Spoiler Title]] - The film seems to present as a shocking twist the idea that it is set in a post-apocalyptic future rather than the past as a great revelation after the Overlord's technological minions appear. Despite the fact that it ''says in the title'' that it's set in the future.
** Strictly speaking, the title only says that ''Yor'' is from the future, without saying why or how. That he is from the future because it ''is'' the future becomes a bit of a twist, in that light<ref>[[Fridge Logic|Why would the title emphasise that he is ''from'' the future if everyone in the movie is just as much from the future as he is?]]</ref>.
