Plot:
Government security sure has gotten lax at nuclear test sites. It seems like any old defecting Russian nuclear physicist fleeing Soviet agents (who are oddly indistinguishable from American gangster...( read more

Progress. The wheels of justice. Joe and Jim. Dr. Joseph Javorsky. The greatest narrator of all time. The wife on the road. Some of the best accidently gay photography of all time. And did I mention... Progress? B-movie brilliance.
Fine example of a drive-in movie that serves as an occasional diversion from the more pressing matters taking place in your back seat. Also falls within the genre "Fodder for Joe Bob Briggs and/or MST3K."
Holy living FUCK this movie is bad. Real bad. Damned bad. So bad, it is therefore good! Get really good and drunk, invite thirty other drunk people and then put this swirling mound of horse shit in the DVD player. good times...
The filmmakers, not yet caught up in the wheels of progress, didn't have the resources to record any sound during production. Now some people would just stop right there and not bother making the movie. But Coleman Francis is a laid-back director; he said, "Fuck it, cut 'em up!" So they filmed the whole movie and just added all the sound in post-production. The result: progress. Characters only talk during long shots or when they're facing away from the camera. And the plot is strung together by a narrator rambling endlessly about progress, flags on the moon, atomic bombs, and oh yeah, progress. I love it when really horrible b-movies try to make poignant social commentary. On top of that, we get Tor Johnson lumbering around the desert, an opening scene that has no connection to the rest of the movie, and gunfights that are hampered by the fact that they appear to have run out of blanks about five minutes into the movie (the people in charge of props were victims of progress, no doubt). I'd call it hilarious if the majority of it wasn't so damn boring. Longest 54 minutes of my life.
P.S. Progress.
Really bad, but so bad it comes almost near to being good. Flag on the moon. How did it get there? I man runs. Someone shoots at him.
