Review of The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961) by Allan C — 04 Nov 2018

You loved him bumping into furniture in Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space." You love his caricature in Drew Friedman's comic strips. You, of course, loved him for his iconic rubber mask with the cracked forehead.

Now, in "The Beast of Yucca Flats," Tor Johnson plays a defecting Soviet scientist hit by a nuclear explosion, who then roams the flats as the titular beast, terrorizing hapless victims. That's pretty much "The Beast of Yucca Flats," This film is strictly "Robot Monster" quality of filmmaking (no sound was even recorded and the film was entirely re-dubbed, along with extensive and badly done narration), but if you enjoy Tor Johnson, it might possibly worth checking out.
