"Lon Chaney has one of his best 50s roles in INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN, a longtime favorite of us folks in our late thirties who grew up with it on Saturday afternoon television. As executed crook Butcher Benton, Lon vows to get even with his two cheating cohorts who turned state evidence against him at his trial, along with his traitor lawyer.
When his dead body is accidentally restored to life by a couple of bozo scientists (SUPERMAN's Robert Shayne and McHALE'S NAVY's Joe Flynn) Chaney becomes an invincible killing machine, and even bullets can't stop him. He sets out on a deadly vendetta mission to even the score, stalking his three backstabbing buddies."
The LAPD uses a bazooka and the LAFD uses a flame thrower!
And yet, so very good! Then again, I have a soft spot for genre-crossing, or whatever you want to call retelling a story from one genre in the style of another.
