Released in 1969, The Illustrated Man is a film based on three of eighteen short stories by the Sci-Fi maestro, Ray Bradbury.
It's rubbish!
Starring Rod Steiger, this film follows a tattooed traveller, who meets another traveller and tells him the story attached to each of his full body illustrations (that includes bum and todger). It encompasses alternate realities, space travel and the end of the world...all on a very low budget it is clear to see. The whole thing is bitty and laborious from beginning to end.
Why is it cult? Cult ain't always good folks...on this occasion, it's the films poor showing at the box office, it's realitve obscurity and the fact that it is based on Bradbury's works...loosely and lazily.
Fun Fact: Director Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) was hired in 2007 to remake this disaster...we're still waiting, but not really that bothered.
