I always thought it odd that the lady somehow ran screaming through the same part of the graveyard, tripping over the same paper tombstones, all about 2 feet apart...OMG...
Until another Ed Wood comes along, there will be no serious rivals to "Plan 9". What I love about Ed Wood is that even if he knew that he was making very bad movies, he didn't let it stop him......... A true artist.
I believe that the tragedy of Ed Wood is that with the right training, backing and and attention to production values, he could have become famous for making very good films. In any case, I also believe that it is an error to take too seriously anything that comes out of Hollywood.
there's a line in the movie from a detective along the lines "There's been a death. They were murdered, and someone's responible" It might not be as funny being read, but the guy says it very stale
Great film. Lugosi died before it was finished & was replaced by a guy much taller who looked nothing like him. To get round this the new "actor" covered his face with his cloak in all his scenes!! Brilliant!
+Jim McSporran he was replaced by the director's CHIROPRACTOR the whole cast were basically drunks who were ED wood's poker buddies or whatnot and manage d to make this painful [in more ways than thought possible!!] movie GOD help us all future events like these will happen in the future!!
Lugosi actually died before filming began, the footage of him is actually test footage of Lugosi Ed Wood had shot earlier in 1956 for a different film that didn't materialize, his last film was actually 1956's The Black Sleep
Even this trailer makes absolute no sense. At the very beginning the narrator talks about how it's set far in the future, but at the end he says "it could be happening right now!"
Stronger. You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid! iPTF14hls was first spotted in 1954 , but the knowledge of solenite bombs was covered up and forgotten, but now once again the galaxy is at risk and that is why Trump is president.
See actors completely ham it up! Hear the most over-the-top dialogue! Feel scared that you're not getting your money's worth! All this and less in: PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE
I Love Plan 9 from Outer Space. I've seen it at least 50 times. It is one of the most entertaining movies ever made, and if the purpose of movies is to entertain, it is one of the best movies ever made. Anyone who thinks this is the worst movie ever made should be duct taped to a chair, placed on the window sill of a skyscraper, and forced to watch Warning from Space a thousand times, followed by Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla and Mother Riley Meets the Vampire.
he actually died before the movie even started and the entire film's plot was based around some stock footage ed wood had of him from before his death. ed wood realized about halfway through the making of the film, however, that he needed a replacement, so he phoned up his chiropractor the fact that this movie was meant to star a guy who was dead before the production even started just makes it that much better
My favorite fact about this movie is that Bela Lugosi died while it was being made, and so someone else took the role and just kept a cape over his face.
yeah in 92 when i first heard White Zombie I went and looked up at the comic book store ( no internet youngsters haha) and looked up all these classic horror flicks. But I agree putting them in the backround was very cool!
There is no way to explain the attraction this movie has to some of us. You either appreciate the cheezy allure or you never will.A movie does not have to have a big budget., big-name stars, or even a good script to be entertaining. Ed wood was an overlooked marvel.
Aw yeah, Plan 9 From Outer Space, baby! I'm off to the theaters tomorrow to watch it with the RiffTrax Live special! Looking forward to it so much, it is gonna be a blast!
@RegisPhilbinFan Lugosi actually died before the movie went into production. Ed Woods used stock footage of him. And HE actually did Lugosi's parts himself. Hilarious!!!
While I saw portions of this movie, I never saw the complete movie till last night on Turner Classics. Yes, it's most horrible in production values and the acting and writing is truly terrible at times, yet it strangely contains some true insight. Ed Wood really got a strong grasp of the UFO phenomenon's impact on the American psyche and our government's attempt to cover things up. Plus you'll laugh at how cheap and tacky the sets and special effects are. It's quirky, sometimes the actors sound competently performing and saying their dialogue, only to realize their lines are ridiculous and the story makes no sense. I still enjoyed it. When I first got on AOL in 1994, I took the screen name Plan9 for about a year. Nobody had it! Three stars.
Ed Wood actually still writes a lot of feature films for this new director Andre Perkowski. Andre's more under the radar at this point in his career but he is quite literally this generations Ed Wood, I suggest you look him up!
When I was a young kid (like 12), this movie so colored my perception of 1950s movies that whenever I saw a movie that wasn't a piece of garbage, it was a true shock!
Cine bizarro, Plan 9, un acierto, sino como al día de hoy, aun la comentamos...me encanta el cine de los 50, por l,o candoroso y esforzado en lo que a "efectos especiales" se refiere., también tiene su belleza....Eric Chile...---
Ed Wood could really come through in a pinch when they needed special effects too. Need some flying saucers over Hollwood? Just get some guys to dangle hubcaps on strings over a fake model of Hollywood. LOL In 'Bride of the Monster,' just have Lugosi wiggle around with the stolen fake rubber octopus so it looks like it's killing him, because they forgot to steal the motor that made the legs move. Or have Bela wear boots with ridiculously obvious high heels so he looks "atomic and superhuman".
We had to watch this during acting class today...I've never laughed so hard at a movie in my entire life! I found the entire thing hilarious, but absolutely terrible!
@olvimann Bela didn't die during the filming according to Ed Wood (movie) there was a series of footage that Ed shot before conceiving this movie and wanted to "bring him back from the dead" for his final film... nothing freak happened like with what "The Crow" and Brandon Lee
@olvimann ah ok, I stand corrected than... in the Tim Burton version it seemed he died before the movie was set for filming, Bela wanted Wood to make another movie, and anther movie so Wood took Bela's requests and started taking shots for no real purpose and than the movie proposal came to be which was when the chiropractor came into play, I did remember the vampire face covered scene, which was after Bela had died, he was only in the first part of the movie but the footage was about a week old
i dont see how ed woods films can be so bad i mean they had bela lugosi they had the only true dracula there will ever be how can they not be awesome!?
Vampira was paid 200 dollars for her um "scenes". She only agreed to do it without speaking. She really needed the money because her late night show was taken away from her and because she wouldn't sign the rights away to her character. The network was working on a show called "the addams family" and we all know where morticia adams origins come from now. They should have just used vampira for the role instead of stealing her character and then blacklisting her. Women who were defiant in hollywood back in the day were punished. Not everything was so golden in those years.
