Watch Riding with Death For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This was one of the best MST'ed movies ever. Two episodes of "The Gemini Man" were pieced together to make this into a made for TV movie. Horrible to watch but mesmerizing to see.Ben Murphy stars as Sam Casey, a Harvard Law graduate and Jurist Doctorate. Why this make him part of a Gov't crime fighting agency is still up for grabs. While on a mission underwater he was near a nuclear explosion that made him invisible. NO problem for the govt, they give him a Seiko watch that can stabilize his DNA and keep him visible. Why his clothes disappear is also up for grabs.Anywho, he has to protect a scientist who has a new fuel additive, blah blah blah, hillbilly gay trucker, blah blah blah, scientist was in on the deception, blah blah blah. I cant go on.. Its to painfulLong story short. After Ben saves the day, a one sentence link is established to join the second half of the story. It goes downhill from there.Just don't watch it without Mike and the Bots. You were warned

Typical cheese of the 70's. Good for laughs. Overly smug Ben Murphy plays a secret agent named Sam Casey who works for "Intersect", which is housed in a redressed parking garage.(Apparently Intersect couldn't afford a better office building). He was apparently involved in an accident earlier in his career that caused him to turn invisible, but he was cured. However, he was left with the ability to turn back invisible whenever he wanted, by using a handy wristwatch outfitted for him by Intersect. This we learn via vague flashbacks which leave us with more questions than answers. witness Murphy's narration of the flashback: "...all I could say was, 'What the hell happened?'"The movie itself is not really a movie at all. It is actually two different episodes of the very short lived TV series "Gemini Man", which ran in or around 1976. It was probably spliced together because they were the only two episodes which also co-starred (I use the term 'starred' lightly) hillbilly music personality Jim Stafford.The two episodes were obviously unrelated other than that, and the poor editing doesn't help to cover up this fact. Watch & listen for the edits where they try to tie these two together, you'll have a hearty laugh. I actually wasted some time researching facts about the original TV series and found out that the second part (episode) of this movie never actually aired on TV. The show had already been canceled five or six weeks previous to its scheduled airdate. I guess the producer just couldn't bear to waste all that great footage of Jim Stafford yelping like a hyena in heat. One word of advice: Do yourself a favor and locate the episode of the classic TV show "Mystery Science Theater 3000" which features this movie. Then you can *really* enjoy Riding With Death. Its one of their funniest episodes ever. (With material like RWD, how could it not be hilarious?)

One of my favourite MST3K episodes, this 1970s monstrosity was just painfully bad. First you have to get past the premise of a man exposed to radiation who can not only become invisible at the push of a button, but whose invisibility extends to his *clothes* too. H.G. Wells has a credit at the end of the film, but I guess the screenwriters figured they were improving on his original idea. However, even if you buy that gimmick, you are then expected to believe that a top-secret spy agency with an invisible spy can think of nothing better for him to do than -- drive a truck. Forget eavesdropping in the Kremlin, we have to get to the patent office before it closes! Absolutely ludicrous movie - watch the MST3K version, it's hilarious.

H.G. Wells probably turned over in his grave when he found out his name was associated with this stinky film. The main star of this film, Ben Murphy, is also noted for being Prof. Douglas McCadden in the film Time Walker. Another actor, Alan Oppenheimer, was probably so ashamed of this film he retreated into just providing his voice for cartoons and voice overs. Bad all around and very forgettable.
