	Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Tor Johnson was born in Sweden around the turn of the century and by the early 1930's was barnstorming the United States as a professional wrestler, usually under the name of the Super Swedish Angel.
		Johnson, in fact, would appear in Lugosi's final three films and he was a friend of the horror film great in the final years of his life.
		Tor Johnson and Vampira made quite a ghostly team as they wandered through the film's spooky graveyard although it was not until 1959 that the film was finally nationally issued, as Plan Nine From Outer Space.

	[No title]
		Johnson was not deformed like Hatton, but was possessed of a 300-pound-plus frame which lent itself well to the portrayal of superhuman monsters, roles that Tor Johnson played in a number of films in the 1950s.
		Tor Johnson died on May 12, 1971, in a Los Angeles hospital after a brief illness and was survived by his wife and son.
		It goes without saying that Tor Johnson was a giant in the horror film genre and while not a great actor he was certainly adept at playing mindless monstrous giants; occasionally he added a little pathos to those parts, which have endeared him to horror film followers.

	The Beast Of Yucca Flats
		So Tor is ambling across the desert with his precious briefcase, when all of sudden (you would have thought this would be in the Yucca Flats newsletter) an atomic bomb gets dropped on Tor's bald head.
		Tor and the kids hook up and eventually the kids escape his cave and then Jim and Joe show up to shoot Tor, but Tor gets up and throws Joe down and then trips and falls and lands on top of Jim.
		Tor gets shot some more times, then we see a brief instance where Tor's shirt comes partway up exposing about an acre of his gut and the viewer shudders in horror for the only time during the entire movie.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Video Reviews
		As a former prizefighter, the hulking Johnson is kept in a locked room, where he spends most of his time huddled in the corner.
		Tor, who's mute as usual and wears the same blank grimace as in Ed Wood's movies, is not the film's real menace.
		Still, there's nothing quite like seeing Johnson casually toss around an average-sized man like he's a Raggedy Andy doll, especially in something as unlikely as a seedy Forties B noir.

	Tor Johnson at Brian's Drive-In Theater
		Strangely enough, Johnson had a longer and more successful career in Hollywood than most of Wood's other regulars, making many films and a number of appearances on TV in the 1950s and 1960s before his death at the age of 67 in May 1971.
		Johnson is probably best known for his appearances in the Ed Wood classics Bride of the Monster (1955) and Plan Nine from Outer Space (1959).
		Due to his sheer bulk, Johnson had the unfortunate tendency of shattering toilet seats when he sat on them, which explains his habit of stealing toilet seats from the hotel rooms he stayed in.

		After Tor gently lies down on the ground and “dies”, a little bunny rabbit hops over and licks his face.

	Beast of Yucca Flats, The Review (1961)
		Russian nuclear scientist Joseph Javorsky (Tor Johnson) defects to the United States with a briefcase full of top secret documents, and he is met at an isolated army airstrip by the Americans.
		However, the Kremlin have sent two agents to retrieve the briefcase and kill Javorsky, and a car chase begins with the Soviets shooting all the while as the defector is driven away.
		There are some movie actors who get the chance to star in their own film all too rarely, but Tor Johnson, the lumbering heavy of a number of low budget horrors and science fiction movies, seized his opportunity with two enormous hands when The Beast of Yucca Flats came his way.
