Riding With Death always bugs me. Casey becomes invisible because of some radioactive explosion, and then a wrist watch makes him visible again? WTF?! It's not a wrist watch; it's a DNA stablizer! I think they sell them at L.L. Bean?

Perhaps a bit nitpicky, but in Werewolf, there's a full moon every night?
And, anything related to age regression, soul transmigration, etc. Such suspects include The Undead, She Creature and I Was a Teenage Werewolf.

In a similar vein as Radar Secret Service, it always bugged me that in both Attack of the the Eye Creatures and Riding With Death there exists this magical spying technology which allows you to watch and listen to remote areas, from multiple angles, as if you were really there.

That's done in a lot of movies and it bugs me too. They do that in Samson Vs. the Vampire Women. They call up the wrestler guy and all of a sudden there'e a camera mounted on his hood ornimant. Even not so crappy movies abuse that. Where are you getting these shots? Knock it off!

The whole movie of the Atomic Brain was scientifically incorrect, for obvious reasons.
Time Chasers was also incorrect, but I don't want to be nit-picky.

Not true. I've been living off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a month; now I can stick to walls, and my incredible "jelly-sense" tells me when to collapse helplessly in the face of danger. I also can never get wet because my skin seeps partially hydrogenated oils. George Washington Carver would laugh maniacally and use me to conquer the world.

Monster A Go Go: the tiny little space capsule that Douglas/no monster is supposed to have returned to earth in (I can't remember the riff for that but it's priceless) always cracks me up.
Also the Incredible Melting Man. Just exactly how does flesh melt. If his flesh is melting why doesn't he start bleeding like crazy and bleed to death right away. Why don't his eyes melt sooner...they're so delicate (eyes) you'd think they'd be the first to liquify....how can he kill people without hurting himself more than he hurts his victims...how I could go on...

This thread reminds me of a riff from "Revenge of the Creature." The guy in the dive suit is climbing out of the boat down the ladder and Servo quips "One small step for phony science..."

In Amazing Colossal Man's semi-defense, maybe they ment a single type of cell. Even that is false, but most of it IS cardiac muscle.
My dad is an animal husbandry major.

Well, I heard that the "Incredible Melting Man" got big-time radiation poisoning from that Saturn Expedition. Still though, it's interesting how that could have happened at Saturn. And of course how they got him back that fast!
You're right, it would have killed him faster than was shown.
I never got squat from the "Atomic Brain" nonsense. And the Atomic Hearing Aid...why? Someone must have been on drugs doing "The Wild World of Batwoman." Heck they were all on drugs.
Lemmie think of some others: "Firemaidens from Outer Space" - that Twin-Screw Universal Controller! "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" - now come on, you can't just keep a brain exposed like that and have children mess with it!!!!!!
