!!'''This film contains examples of:'''

* ContemplateOurNavels - ''Flag on the moon. How did it get there''? Though, in ''this'' case, the Fauxlosophic Narration has some meaning: a top secret Russian moon landing of course! No, really; that's the secret with evidence being smuggled in the briefcase at the beginning if you pay attention.
* DyingAsYourself - After the narrator's repetition of how Javorsky was a kind man until he became the Beast, the scene with the rabbit works as an example of this trope.
* TheEndOrIsIt - The Beast comes back to life... and kisses a rabbit.
* FanNickname: "The Breast of Yucca Flats" for the random topless scene at the beginning.
* FanService - The topless actress in the opening murder.
* FauxlosophicNarration - Trope on the page. How did it get there?
* FilmingForEasyDub - ''Beast of Yucca Flats'' was recorded silent, and the dialogue dubbed in later, so people only talk off-screen.
* ForScience - The Beast may or may not be motivated by "scientific progress". The narrator is not very clear on this subject.
* ILoveNuclearPower - An atomic bomb turns Joseph Javorsky into The Beast.
* ILoveTheDead - It is heavily implied that the killer at the start of ''The Beast of Yucca Flats'' abuses the woman's corpse.

* RRatedOpening - A topless woman is killed by someone.
* ScienceIsBad - well, we think it is... it's kinda hard to tell. Joseph Javorsky tried to use science for good, but the evil it wrought overwhelmed and transformed him. As the wheels of progress turn, his fate will be the fate of us all. Or something...
* StopOrIWillShoot - Taken to the worst extreme. A sniper is sent up in a plane to bring down the suspected killer and starts shooting at a family dad who was looking for help for his family stranded on vacation. Naturally, the dad starts running, convincing the shooter he's found the guilty party.

* ContemplateOurNavels - Flag on the moon. How did it get there?
