Context Trivia / TheBeastOfYuccaFlats

Go To

1* ActorAllusion: The Beast grapples with the deputy, professional-wrestling style. Appropriate given Tor Johnson was a former pro wrestler.
2* AuthorAppeal: The "'''Breast''' of Yucca Flats" scene, included because Creator/ColemanFrancis wanted a nude scene.
3* NoBudget: If the lack of any sound or dialogue didn't somehow tip you off.
4* RealLifeRelative: The wife and sons of Coleman Francis play the distraught wife and wandering kids in the movie.
5* ThrowItIn: The Beast was supposed to simply die at the end of the film. However, a wild rabbit walked onto set and Creator/TorJohnson got up and kissed the rabbit, then dropped back down. Francis liked the scene so much he made into the final shot of the movie. Possibly the one choice he ever made that improved one of his films.
6* TypeCasting: Tor Johnson as The Beast, basically reprising his ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'' character, except with an (inaudible) Russian accent.
7* WholePlotReference: The infamous Part 8 of ''Series/TwinPeaks: The Return'' feels oddly like a reimagining of this movie.
