| Indestructible Man | comment |
Indestructible Man is a 1956 American crime horror science fiction film, an original screenplay by Vy Russell and Sue Dwiggins for producer-director Jack Pollexfen and starring Lon Chaney Jr., with Marian Carr, Casey Adams, Ross Elliott and Robert Shayne.Convicted criminal Charles "Butcher" Benton goes to his death in the state prison, cursing the three men who double-crossed him following an armored-car hold-up: "Squeamy" Ellis, Joe Marcelli and Paul Lowe, his attorney and leader of the gang. He vows to return and kill them and dies without revealing the location of the stolen money. Detective Chasen is determined to keep working on the case until the stolen loot is recovered. Benton's body is taken to Professor Bradshaw and his assistant for experimentation, and they manage to restore him to life, making him practically indestructible in the process. He takes off after the three men, getting rid of everybody who stands in his way. He is impervious to police bullets. He kills Ellis and Marcelli, while Lowe seeks police protection. Benton takes to the sewers to recover the hidden loot and the police are powerless to stop him.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, see here. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Indestructible Man / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Dr. Bradshaw's experiment was intended to restart a corpse's heart by chemical stimulation and a massive jolt of electricity. It succeeds, but while Bradshaw believed the heart would be restarted for a few minutes, the process restores Benson fully to life and renders him Nigh-Invulnerable. Benson then murders Bradshaw and his assistant. | |

Engineered Public Confession | |
| Indestructible Man / int_38bf28e3 | comment |
Engineered Public Confession: The police deliberately deny Lowe any form of police protection and turn him loose on the streets, in hopes that his fear of the Butcher will motivate him to confess to his own part in the original crime. It works. | |

Shock and Awe | |
| Indestructible Man / int_4c798fd5 | comment |
Shock and Awe: After emerging from the sewer in the climax, Benton climbs up onto a platform at an electrical substation, where he comes into contact with high-voltage power lines and is fried to a crisp. Not so indestructibe now, are we? | |

Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin': Once he realizes Butcher Benton is coming for him, Paul Lowe does everything in his power to get arrested so he'll have police protection. However, the police see right through it and bend over backward to excuse everything he does, droppong all charges and turning him loose. | |
