Best of the Worst: Robo-C.H.I.C., Alien Seed, and Yor: The Hunter from the Future 

This episode was beyond surreal for me. I recognized a rock outcropping in one of the clips from "Alien Seed" as being only a few miles from my house. Checked on IMDB and sure enough, it was filmed in Colorado Springs. I found the whole movie on RU-vid, and watched it for familiar locations and spotted dozens, including a building I used to work in. Then I got to the credits and saw someone named "Winter Monk" and I just about shat my teeth. Winter Monk used to be the online moniker of someone I've known for 25 years. He's like an uncle to me. Someone who's originally from Colorado Springs, and who was an actor and model in the late eighties. I called him up and sure enough, he's the dude with the Uzi around an hour and thirteen minutes into the movie. Funny enough, turns out he's also in Robo-C.H.I.C. AND Elves!

"YOU HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE BOX!!" With that one sentence, Rich Evans described the movie industry.

The fact that Erik Estrada went on to star in Cool Cat means Alien Seed was the peak in his acting career

Can't believe they were setting up the "Mike has dementia" story line so early on.

I like the Best of the Worst. It simulates having actual friends.

"I'm pretty sure we could make a great bad 80s movie" - Wizard But instead they made Space Cop.

Josh looks like he has strong opinions on open source software

Where the future and the past collide...isn't that just "the present?"

The rewatchability of these old episodes of BOTW is insane. I've seen each one almost 5 times already.

Fun fact: Colin was here the whole time!

That great awkward pause after Rich says 'yesssss' during the 'Yor' explanation.

Rich's laugh cures cancer.

I love how Mike's basically asleep the whole time they're watching the movies.

"Ehditeeyeah" -Rich Evans

We need more Bort license plates in the gift shop.

I LOVED your review of Alien Seed ! The only thing I didn't like about it was you didn't even bring my Char up from the Movie . I was in Alien Seed, I played Heavy #1 . I was the guy who killed Coach in the Fish tank, Kidnapped people and then I get shot . We filmed for 3 weeks . Erik flew in for the first 3 days to film his scenes and then he flew back out and we filmed the rest of the Movie after he left to answer your question .

"Ther he is!"- Erik astrada

"Eh-d-d-ya..." -Rich Evans

Erika Estrada used to date Kathy Shower. So Alien Seed used to date Robo Chic.

this show has genuinely helped me so much through quarantine. The joy these guys bring me is a life saver ❤

According to Wikipedia, and backed by several online sources, the movie Yor is based on an Argentina comic Henga, el cazador. From the few images I've found it seems to feature a fair amount of well drawn 90% naked women posing around between Yor fighting random monsters and people all barbarian style. Seems like the movie's pretty accurate to it's source then.

Yor had a theatrical realease. I actually remember seeing the trailer and the poster for it at the theater as a kid. I wanted to see it and my dad said "uh no" and it was a forbidden passion ever since! LOL

Yor is based on an Argentine comic series in which Yor is NOT from the future but he's a caveman who fights aliens. The perils of adaptation by Italians I guess (?)

Robo-C.H.I.C. seems quaint now that they’ve seen Robowoman

I thought I'd stop watching their videos on RU-vid after I started going to the website, but it turns out I just watch them twice now

as a diehard fan of yor: the hunter from the future, i cannot believe that they didnt mention the scene of yor punching a pterodactyl in the face and then using its wings as a hang-glider while the movies theme song played the killer hook "yors world hes the one!" as a side note, im probably the only person whos seen this movie over 10 times...

'Part cop, part machine, all woman', that's literally RoboCop's tagline, rearranged to make a lot less sense.

“Our audience was born in 1999.” It’s funny how that was a joke when this video was released, like “Haha, our audience is children,” and now those people are 21-22. They’re of legal drinking age.

Yor is played by Reb Brown who also played Captain America and Beef Meatslab in _Space Mutiny._

Burt Ward is the one person who actually used to train with Bruce Lee, who looks the least like someone who actually used to train with Bruce Lee. The dude has never not looked like someone you'd expect to do your taxes.

If the lead actress quit, why not have the robot get its face damaged and a new one built? Problem solved.

"Our audience was born in 1999." Joke's on you, I was born in 1998. EDIT: I wrote this comment back in 2015 when I was 16/17 and it's now 2022 and I'm 23 and people still reply to this every now and then. Time's fucked up, man.

Someone accidentally referred to Yor as Thor, and wasn't completely wrong. There's an old English letter called thorn which represents a "th" sound. When people write thorn today they use a "y" (as in "Ye Olde Shoppe"). If you decide the Y in Yor is a thorn you would pronounce it as Thor.

"You talking to me?" "No, my son's name is also Bort Ward."

39:39 - Man, I was sitting on pins and needles, giggling with anticipation for the 4th Rich Evans "Eh..yeah"-sample.. And then it never comes!! I felt so snubbed and empty, just like when you're expecting a a huge sneeze which doesn't happen :-)

"The blonde lady with the male eyebrows" Cara Delevigne??

Funny, my mom used to be a banker in Hollywood and said Burt Ward's account was almost always overdrawn. One time he got in trouble in Czechoslovakia and she couldn't wire him money because he didn't actually have any.

These vids make me want to make friends, until I realize those friends would be nothing like this, then I'm okay with being a misanthrope again.

Jay: "No one knows who Bort Ward is because he's not a real person" Some person named Bort Ward somewhere: " :( "

UFO flies out from behind Jay at 7:17. Jay is the alien seed.

I love Josh asserting his masculine dominance to Jay in the first ten seconds of the video.

Oh my god, the guy with the spear at 8:06 is the serial killer from the Too Many Cooks video. I had no idea he was an actual actor.

YOR'S WORLD HE'S THE MAN! Seriously, though: _No_ reference to that awesome song or the bat-gliding scene? Shame on you!

I still remember seeing Spoony's Yor review nearly a decade ago. Happy to see it on BotW. Yor's World, He's the Man!

I always enjoy when Josh is on the show. He adds very good commentary and jokes!

I've only just started to read the comments on these videos. What a joy.

When they talked about creating a good bad 80s movie I instantly thought of Space Cop. SUCCESS!

The LASER beam and atom bomb are references to Judas Priest's Painkiller I think.

Jay’s tiny “please hurry” outside next to the dumpster was so god damn adorable 😂

THERE HE IS 22:54

3:20 Jay's appreciation for life is adorable

isnt the robo chic blurb stealing from the lyrics of painkiller, but only getting them almost right to avoid lawsuit? "faster than a laser bullet, louder than an atom bomb"

These videos always make me want a Coke. In a Best of the Worst glass.

I actually saw Yor in the theater when it came out in the early '80s. Loved the theme song.

Yor was based on a comic strip, and the film was actually a re-edited Italian miniseries on Rai. The same makers instead did another TV series - Treasure Island in SPace, which was aired on ITV in UK and RTE in Ireland, kiddy space opera with Ernest Borgnine as Billy Bones and Anthony Quinn as Long John Silver.

I'm suprised you guys didn't talk about the best part where yor hang-glides on a giant dead bat and kicks a guy while in the background you hear " Yors' world, he's the man" and yes that actually happened.

I was born in 1999 but I know who "Bort Ward" is. The shark repellent spray is the greatest thing of all time!

39:05 ET-TI-TI-YEA!

A Best of the Worst I have never seen before ! Like finding a $20 dollar bill in an old pair of jeans !! Treasure !!!

Continuing my 2021 journey through the playlist. 15-10-2021

I was hoping they'd have Yor's song sometime during this! It was worth the wait.

"You have to put something in the box." is my favorite Rich Evans quote

Oh no, Yor?! We're going to need a lot more hemp before we're through.

Wait, why would the drugs still being there make sense? Who shoots somebody over a drug dispute and leaves the drugs?

trivia: a copy of yor can be seen in the shelf if the cabin inn in "the ring"

Mixing swords and lasers from the eighties? Gotta go with Krull.

Ok. I take back everything I said about "Undefeatable" and Cynthia Rothrock. Compared to Robo C.H.I.C her fight choreography is poetry in motion. It's combative ballet. It's a symphony of pugalistic art.

"Faster than a laserbeam, more powerful than an atom bomb" Holy shit.. ROBO-C.H.I.C. is the Painkiller!!!!

This channel is the best thing that happened in my life recently

“What did Batman say to Robin before they got in the car?” “Get in the car.” 🤣😂🤣😂

50 episodes later if faced with the same choice,mike would pick alien seed as best of the worst.

Iv'e seen all the Best of the Worsts at least five times and I still can't remember anything from the Alien Seed review.

There's a very good reason Rich Evans is called "Rich Evans" and not just "Rich".

The Shoji Tabuchi Show the family show that's the talk of the town

YORS WORLD HES THE MAN!

Yor was directed by Antonio Margheriti aka Anthony M Dawson, who later made Alien from the deep and many other pieces of Italian schlock

You guys are the freakin best!! I get so impatient every time either Half in the Bag or Best of the Worst ends for the next one and cant wait for Space Cop!

RLM you are endlessly creative. thank you for all the great humour.

I love "Yor" shows so much. I've been drunkenly watching everything you guys have made.

30:21 THE EPIC ZOOM IN SHOT!

I think everyone can agree the lead actress really did good by quitting Robo chic

YES!!! Yor!!! I actually saw that when it first came out in theaters... It was so laughable that my best friend and I were giving it the non-stop riff treatment...and this guy in back of us kept shushing us... I've never been a believer in chatting during a movie (even back then when I was in high school) but I couldn't believe anyone could watch this turd other than for complete mockery... I so need to watch that again... BTW, I got to meet Reb Brown a couple of years ago and he is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet... he absolutely revels in the crap movies he was in and has no problem with the ribbing they get...

Josh always has the best shirts.

The "what if he says yor fucked!" always gets me

Kinda disappointed you didn't mention the most awesome scenes from Yor like the dead giant bat hang glider or the caveman trapeze scene. That movie is way more insane and entertaining than you gave it credit for.

just reading the plot of Yor on Wikipedia. That thing sounds like a masterpiece

Aw yeah, gotta love Reb Brown.

Strange. I remember Colin from Canada being outside at the dumpster with them.

I LOVE this segment

Yors world he's the man

I love the low-key fights between Rich and Josh.

Producers of Yor saw Zardoz and thought "we can make a massive failure too!"

I'm a bit sad that amish Jay is gone

Robo Geisha could be a movie worth watching.

rich's laugh gives me life

Is this the first time the legendary Reb Brown has made his way to Best of the Worst?

I saw Yor was in the list and watching was inevitable. SpooneyOne's 'review' of Yor is legend already, there can never be too much Yor. After all, he's the man. Also love how Jay hear's 'Ion firing orbs' and immediately thinks of boobs instead of eyes. Actually, totally unsure whether or not he's aware and making a sweet deadpan joke. Curses!

I agree with beard guy. They definitely cared way more on the alien movie. They were jumping bikes, and drifting cars.

It's the little things that make these guys so funny, like having the videos out of the dumpster.

What song is that on the end credits? It sounds familiar...
