KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** What's seems like a combination of the movies "Indistructable Man" and "The Beast of Yucca Flat" the movie "The Most Dangerous Man Alive" has convicted murderer Eddie Candell, Ron Randell,escape from his trip to the San Quentin gas chamber when his ride, an armored car, taking him there overturns and he makes his way into the Nevada Desert. It just happened that a nuclear test is being conducted there and Candell runs or walks right into it! Surviving the nuclear blast Candell is somehow turned into a man of steel where his cells turn into iron and in a way makes the guy indestructible. We soon find out that Candell was innocent of the murder he was convicted of but framed by fellow mobster Andy Damon, Anthony Caruso and Randell's two timing girlfriend Linda Marlow, Debra Paget. Knowning that he hasn't long to live with his steel body eventually turning to rust Candell is now determined to make the two pay for what they did to him! Even if he has to destroy the entire state of California to do it!We get to see Candell slowly go murderously insane as he realizes he'll never be normal or human again. Candell takes out his frustrations on his fellow mobsters who set him up and sold him down the river. While doing that he get his girlfriend, not Linda who sold him out, the revenging beautiful Carla Angelo, Elaine Stewart, to help him find a cure for his illness, turning to steel, by getting in touch with Dr. Meeks, Tuder Owen, the man responsible for the nuclear blast that deformed him! It's his attempt to bring in alive mobster Andy Damon that sets off Candell's timetable in Damon and his hoods, whoever were still left after Candell offed them, doing everything to destroy him before he gets to them.***SPOLIERS*** It's the California National Guard together with the LAPD lead by Captain Davis played by, this was a drop down in rank for him, the legendary Eternal Colonel Morris Ankrum that finally put an end to Candell's wild rampage. But before he was pulverized by artillery small and heavy arms fire as well as blasted by some half dozen flame throwers Crandell finally redeemed and exonerated himself from the murder that he was falsely accused and convicted of. But by doing that he must have killed more then a dozen men on his way for him to archive that.

dbborroughs Snoozer mix of science fiction and gangster movies Gangster being transported to jail escapes when the transport crashes. Staggering through the desert he ends up being nuked. He survived but is slowly developing a metallic skin. He goes on the run.A long 80 minutes as we get a mix of gangster wanting to get him, the cops wanting to get him, he wants revenge, and the scientists want to study him. There is no real attempt at showing the change other than a torn shirt with a loose tie.Yea it's a mess.Worse it's not very good.Take a pass.

lermanine I had hopes for this film, I admit I have a low tolerance level for horrible dialogue delivered in a stilted manner. So this B Sci-Fi film about a framed gangster boss seeking revenge against his enemies that stumbles onto a nuclear test site seconds before the big bang was intriguing, but there was no pay off. There is so much potential with this leftover plot idea and yet no risks were taken, no imagination, no spark of life, only flat acting. I appreciate these films because if you dream of being a film maker or a writer it shows you what not to do with a film. I gave it a 3 because there is so much to be learned about film making from this stinker. Perhaps the nuclear blast effected the writers and film maker, or perhaps this story is completely true and big brother forced the studio to turn the truth into a laughable genre flop. Perhaps when we solve the crop circle mystery and area 51 the mystery of why "The Most Dangerous Man Alive" is so bad will also be solved.

bob dove After first reading about this movie when i was a kid,I finally caught it on TNT late one night.I thought it was pretty good ,even though hampered a little by a low budget.Ron Randell was his usual reliable self,and the rest of the cast was very good,especially Debra Paget as the snaky ex-girlfriend and Elaine Stewart(wooo!)as Randell's lover.Watch it if you get the chance.
