Commies Made Him an Atomic Mutant!

Nomination Year: 2001

SYNOPSIS: A famed nuclear scientist (Tor Johnson) is caught by an atomic blast, hurts a whole lot, and kidnaps women to take to his desert lair. So far as I could tell.

In case you're curious, this film wasn't shot sync sound. I'm sure that was why everyone stood with their faces in shadow while conversing.
