A scientist experimenting with matter transmission from place to place by means of a laser beam suddenly decides to use himself as a test specimen. But the process goes awry, and one side of his body becomes hideously deformed and instantly lethal to anyone it touches. Has nothing to do with the Trope.

It was featured on this episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Tropes used in The Projected Man include:

Fan Service: Sheila, Dr. Steiner's assistant, has to take off her clothes... because her eyes hurt.

Crow: I DECLARE THIS MOVIE SUDDENLY GREAT!

Hey, It's That Guy!: Dr. Steiner is played by Bryant Haliday, who starred in Devil Doll, another Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie, as The Great Vorelli.
Hidden Agenda Villain: Steiner's superiors at...wherever he works...want to discredit and hinder him because...uh...inventing a revolutionary teleportation device would be of absolutely no benefit to them whatsoever?
- They were going to steal his invention and take all of the credit for themselves. That's why he burns the reels his data is held on.
Mugging the Monster: A weird variation. Instead of the monstrous Steiner being mugged on purpose, his teleporter accident dumps him near some crooks in the middle of a break-in and he fries them one at a time as they go into the alley in which he's hiding.
Psycho Electro: Dr. Steiner gains the ability to electrocute people with his hand after the teleporter mishap.
That Poor Cat: A stray cat is the first victim of Dr. Steiner's electric mitts.
Two-Faced
