vhs – the amazing colossal man

When a plutonium bomb test goes awry, Army Colonel Glenn Manning is caught in the blast—and miraculously survives. But the radiation has a terrifying side effect: he begins to grow… and grow… and grow. As Manning’s size and rage spiral out of control, the military scrambles to contain the towering threat before he crushes Las Vegas underfoot.

Directed by Bert I. Gordon and starring Glenn Langan, this Cold War-era creature feature is a B-movie classic, packed with rear-projection effects, tragic pathos, and a giant man in a diaper rampaging through miniatures. It’s the kind of film that made drive-ins legendary.
