'The World of Yor') is a 1983 science fiction fantasy film directed by Antonio Margheriti and starring Reb Brown, Corinne Cléry, Luciano Pigozzi, and John Steiner.
Yor, a roving hunter and barbarian, jogs through a seemingly prehistoric desert landscape past the stone towers of Cappadocia, Turkey.
He uses the dead bat like a hang glider to storm the lair and starts flooding sections of the cave, the diversion helping his escape out the back with Kalaa.
The flood kills everyone inside the cave, including the other kidnapped villagers (who had been locked in cages) as well as the blue cavemen.
Along the way, they find a mysterious society of sand mummies led by a blonde woman named Roa with an amulet similar to Yor's own.
He intends to use Yor and Kalaa, who he reveals is a 'genetically perfect' woman, to create a new master race based on his androids in order to rule the entire planet.
Yor finds allies in a group of rebels led by the scientist, Ena, and the mysterious blind Elder, who have been plotting to overthrow the Overlord for years.
The Overlord pursues them in an attempt to stop the stockpile's destruction and briefly engages Yor in combat, overwhelming him temporarily.
As the Overlord enters an elevator, Yor grabs a nearby pole and hurls it through the window, impaling the villain.
As the movie ends and the ship flies off into the distance, the narrator intones: "...Yor returns to the primitive tribes on the mainland.
