War of the Colossal Beast was directed by Martin Scorsese and adapted by Tom Stoppard from Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel Anna Karenina.
PLOT: Upon hearing of several recent robberies of food delivery trucks in Mexico, Anna (Anne Hathaway), becomes convinced that her spouse Glenn (Dean Martin) survived his fall from the Boulder Dam (as seen in The Amazing Colossal Man) after she had banished him from their home due to his infidelity.
Anna bikes to Mexico to look for Glenn and finds that he has, in fact, survived, but was left disfigured and more mindless than expected by the trauma of his fall.
She starts to return home to Los Angeles but on the train, she has hallucinations of the amazing colossal man and Princess Charlotte of Monaco making love and laughing at her.
Arriving at the station, Anna says to herself, "Oh God... " and rides her bicycle, which she had packed with her baggage, under an oncoming train.
The scene then flashes to the amazing colossal man, who has a shocked face as if knowing his true love has died. He is amazing and colossal but pitiably cannot find a train to throw so he picks up a bus instead (photo above) and sets off to rob a food truck.
