Line #7 YMMV/Gor - TV Tropes


1	!!The original literary series
2	* CultClassic: The series has received mixed to negative reception by the general public. It still retains a following to the point that there are even people in the world who try to model their life on the ideals presented in the series.
3	* HoYay: Some readers find men embracing men as homoerotic, so they get a lot out of the books.
4	* ValuesDissonance: Tarl expresses this himself throughout the first books, when he's still a stranger in a strange land, less and less as he adapts. Then in the late series, he and a few other Masters clinging to their values refuse to see that the world is changing, and keep insisting that it's wrong.
5
6	!!''Outlaw (of Gor)'' and the Gor movie series
7
8	* CompleteMonster: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Lara]], from ''Outlaw'', is a sadistic and ambitious woman determined to become the queen of Gor. Seducing and then marrying Marlenus, Lara murdered him after he made hero Cabot his heir, and then [[FrameUp framed Cabot for the crime]]. Immediately undoing all of Marlenus's work reforming the country, Lara allowed slavery to run rampant, with hundreds being sold on and either worked to death in the palaces and mines or used as {{Sex Slave}}s. When a cave-in occurs in one of the mines when Lara is present, she orders the exits blocked which results in many people being BuriedAlive. Bragging to her henchman Xeno that she did this for no other reason than because she could, Lara reveals that she plans on enslaving the entire population before murdering Xeno himself [[EvenEvilHasStandards when he realizes what a monster he has put on the throne]].
9	* MemeticMutation: Characters repeating Cabot's name constantly.
10	* {{Narm}}:
11	-->'''Queen:''' Get '''''OUT''''' of here, '''''you [=DISgusting=] WORM!'''''
12	* RetroactiveRecognition: Look for Creator/ArnoldVosloo (with a full head of hair) in the first film, but on Earth and not on Gor.
13	* {{Sequelitis}}: The first film at least gives the impression of being made by people who were ''trying'' to make something halfway decent. ''Outlaw'', however, comes across as just a bunch of action sequences loosely tied together by a RandomEventsPlot, along with being generally cheap and poorly-made, even by comparison to the first film.
14	* TheScrappy: Watney for being a whiny MotorMouth and for [[spoiler:betraying Cabot so he could get into Queen Lara's panties.]]
15	* SpecialEffectFailure:
16	** In the first film, the sequence where Cabot is sent to Gor cuts between studio shots of him driving through a thunderstorm at night, and location footage showing his car driving along on a bright, sunny day with only a day-for-night filter attempting to give the impression of a storm. ''Outlaw'' somehow manages to be vastly worse, just having Cabot's car being rocked by a couple of stagehands, after which we get a smash-cut to him and Watney being on Gor.
17	** The climax of ''Outlaw'' has the hunter throwing a spear at [[spoiler:Queen Lara]] with some force... followed by a shot of someone off-screen very gently prodding the spear into [[spoiler:Lara]]'s abdomen.
18	** In ''Outlaw'', Cabot frequents a marketplace on Gor. In one shot you can clearly see a modern-day farm and a car in the distance.
19	--->'''Crow:''' It's Iowa!
20	* TakeThatScrappy: Even ''Outlaw'' seems to have been aware of just how annoying Watney was, as evidenced by the ending where [[spoiler:the ring ends up sending Watney back to Earth alone without Cabot, who finally gets to be with Talena, while Watney ends up having to explain to some cops why he's jaywalking in the middle of Los Angeles dressed in a ridiculous outfit]].
