4D Man
The Nelson brothers Scott and Tony (Robert Lansing and James Congdon) (no relation) develop and amplifier that allows objects to pass through each other. I’m not sure what the amplifier is amplifying, but it might be brain waves or something. Naturally, one of them (Scott) tries it on himself and he’s able to pass through walls and whatnot. The cost is that, as he’s apparently doing this by transitioning into the 4th dimension (time), he ages rapidly but he’s able to stave off the aging by passing through other people and reclaiming their energy but killing them in the process.
There’s a potential story here, but this isn’t the way to do it. The movie is too disjointed and badly acted, with attrocious beat music (bongos and high hat cooldom) that’s it’s really tough to watch. Where’s Maynard G. Krebbs when you need him? “No! Scott! Don’t!”. William Shatner would be proud. And Speaking of Mr. Shatner, Scott Nelson is played by the guy who played Gary Seven.
; would not watch again
