''The Beast of Yucca Flats''. A film by Creator/ColemanFrancis.

Joseph Javorsky. Noted scientist. Played by Tor Johnson. Defected from Soviet Russia. Hunted by KGB. Walks onto a nuclear test site. Touch a button. Things happen. [[ILoveNuclearPower The A-bomb. A man becomes a beast.]]

No-one talks - the camera didn't have sound gear. A {{narrator}}. [[TerseTalker Unable to speak in full sentences.]] [[FauxlosophicNarration Flag on the moon. How did it get there?]]

A topless woman is strangled. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Nothing to do with the rest of the movie]].

The beast kills a couple on vacation. Something about the wheels of progress. [[TorchesAndPitchforks People hunt the beast.]] Climb a mountain, then give up.

Boys from the city. Not yet caught up in the whirlwind of progress. A guy gets shot from a plane. Man's inhumanity to man. Beast is finally killed.

!!Tropes on the page. How did they get there?:

* AuthorAppeal:
** Coleman Francis films. Vigilante shootings from a helicopter. Man's inhumanity to man.
** Unrelated prologue with a topless woman. Coleman Francis, a fan of nudie shots. Throws the topless scene in with little justification.
* BeigeProse: Narration. Full of sentence fragments and vague phrases.
* ContemplateOurNavels: ''Flag on the moon. How did it get there''? The narration in this case is meaningful. Top secret Russian moon landing. Pictures of the moon serve as the movie's MacGuffin.
* DullSurprise: Lots of people strangled. No one screams.
* DyingAsYourself: Joseph Javorsky, a once kind and noble man. Kisses a bunny at the end.
* TheEndOrIsIt: The Beast is killed. Until he kisses a rabbit.
* FanService: Topless scene in the prologue.
* FauxlosophicNarration: Trope on the page. How did it get there?
* FilmingForEasyDub: The movie was recorded silent. Dialogue dubbed in later. No one moves their lips on camera.
* ForScience: The Beast. The wheels of scientific progress, possible motivation. Movie isn't very clear.
* ILoveNuclearPower: The A-Bomb. A man becomes a Beast.
* ILoveTheDead: Killer in the prologue. Implied that he abuses his victim's corpse.
* LullDestruction: Never a quiet moment. A narrator who never shuts up. The filmmaker's inhumanity to man.
* PetTheDog: The Beast kisses a rabbit.
* RRatedOpening: A topless woman. Killed by someone unseen.
* ScienceIsBad: Possibly. Movie still isn't very clear. Joseph Javorsky. Noted scientist. Tried to use science for good. Caught in the wheels of scientific progress.
* StopOrIWillShoot: Taken to extremes. A sniper in a plane. A father, caught in the wheels of justice. A man runs, someone shoots at him.
