a better than average blend of hoodlums, fast cars, loose women & sci-fi, 27 January 1999
6/10
Author: Gordon Reid from Oakville, Canada

The Most Dangerous Man Alive caught my interest, because it was based on an original story (co-written) by horror film alumnist (& Australian native) Michael Pate; better known for his work as an actor in The Strange Door, Curse of the Undead and Tower of London(1962).

Slow moving at first, Most Dangerous Man picks up steam and is a better than average blend of hoodlums, fast cars, loose women & sci-fi. Australian born actor Ron Randell is believable as a radioactive freak of nature who is bent on re-establishing relationships with his women & setting the record straight with his one time gangster "friends". The tough guy treatment of women in Dangerous Man Alive and Randell's "romance" with Debra Paget goes beyond the typical 1950's screaming "scared" teenagers. However any potential shown is eventually thwarted by a low budget. I don't care. Most Dangerous Man Alive is nostalgic fun, boasts some mean looking thugs like Anthony Caruso & is reminiscent of films like The Indestructible Man & Man-Made Monster, but packs its own punch as a solid B picture of the 1960's. It's rarely telecast & is well worth a look or two!
