  • I've never seen a film more passionate than this one. I have a feeling that this film would've been made even if Burton and company were paid nothing.

  • Im watching this in 240p so i get a more classic sesation

  • Christine Jorgensen spoke at my university.

  • john cena would have played the part of ed wood better

  • @shizeninho what the fuck? cena can't act, he can barely wrestle, the only man in the wwe who is more of a tool than cena is Michael cole

  • God damn I want Lugosi's Fedora.

  • That's so true about dracula... well with me anyway!! Dracula is like my porn lol!

  • I love this movie. Johnny Depp looks even more beautiful in black and white.

  • "...I like to dress in women's clothing" XD LMAO!!!! WIN!!!!!

  • i see willy wonka's characteristics in this movie

  • @gubegirl But infinitely more charming and likable.

  • god damn it johnny. if i wasnt 14. and you weren't 45...who knows where we'd be right now!

  • @Smallville357 I know, you would be typing on your computer and he would still be a huge movie star.

  • @Smallville357 here is a clue...ryhme with matchatory hate

  • @vampirehunterme

    whadahell...haha sorry...14 and blone ;)

  • I barely recognized depp in this

  • "Is there a script?"

    "Fuck no! But there's a poster."

    No wonder Ed's movies are such rubbish!

  • better than not getting a job xDD

  • No one gives 2 Fucks for Bella...LOL

  • Imagine what would have happened if L. Ron Hubbard and Ed Wood had joined forces.

  • Long Live B Movies!

    You just gotta Love Ed Wood! <3

  • Now noone gives two fucks for Bela

  • When he's on the phone and says "Great"! Sounds like Willy Wonka. Haha. :)

  • i <3 johnny depp only 18 movies to go for i see um all

  • Better than not getting the job... perfect wordplay humor!

  • Omg, his voice sounds like Willy wonka! It's awesome though, I love when Johnny speaks like that. XD

  • Johnny looks a bit like Desi Arnaz is black and white. :-)

  • Am i the only one who get a Wily Wonka flash when he says : "I like to dress in woman's clothing" ? Or at least it's definitely the voice !!!

  • Tim Burton's Ed Wood, a brilliant movie about a guy who makes terrible movies. Does anybody see the irony in that?

  • i like how he just smiles when he says i like to wear wemons clothing.

  • Michael Landau was a terrific Bella Lugosi.

  • "This is the most uncomfortable coffin I've ever been in." Martin Landau rocks this movie.

  • @MissMael This is true.

  • كلام امريكي قديييييييييييييييييييييييييييي­ييييييييييييييم ممل

  • johnny looks awesome in those glasses! ;)

  • johnny depp looks awesome in those raybans :)

    7.30 - 8.00 minutes <3

  • This is absolutely beautiful, i know it seems like such a corny thing to say but when that "wipe transition" came up at 1:09 it brought a tear to my eye...he did it, tim burton did it. He made a genuine homage to films of the 1940s and 50s...

  • @guthax20 I know exactly what you mean. This is why Tim Burton is my favourite director.

  • gotta love his optimistic spirit

  • Ed Wood films always had decent structure and excellent pacing. That's not easy to do and many of today's big budget and critically lauded films could take a lesson from him. If he were starting out today any studio would be wise to hire him as a second (or third) assisant editor. Of course  it should be stipulated that he never get within 100 feet of any set.

  • i love johnny depp movies

  • johnny depp is funny in movies

  • @userrickrocks No the script is

  • Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi = WIN!

  • When I grow up I wanna be just like Ed Wood.... Minus the cross dressing part lol

  • @TheTrianonmusic oh so you wanna make movies that have little to know effort obviously fake scenery and your favorite actor starring in it all. I didn't mean it as an insult but that is pretty much him in a single sentence

  • @Shanethefilmmaker exactly :)

  • and I'm not talking about skin color! so don't reply stupid comments!

  • yep i've researched the ed wood films and it all seems to have gone downhill since "Orgy of the Dead", well tecnically it went downhill since he started. Poor Ed Wood. Eventually he just did pornos after that, and he should have kept with shity sci-fi horror flicks.

  • 5:04 lol

  • I loved that Tim Burton filmed this in black and white!

  • "is there a script? fuck no,but there a poster" lmao

  • i don't understand why this didn't even make half of it's budget ($18,000,000), it's such a good movie!!!

  • One of the things I love about this movie is Eddie's positivism. He always finds some way to turn every setback into an opportunity. Even if he's horribly inept at it, he never gives up, and he never gives in to pessimism.

  • @LordZontar An excellent analysis of why the film is more than just laughing at a failure - he is a heroic failure who never loses his dignity or spirit

  • I agree with Lugosi. Today's horror is all about blood and gore. Some films use it well, but horror movies aren't the same

  • Martin Landau does a fantastic job in this movie.

    Some of the lines in this film are totally something out of Ed Wood's imagination and terrible writing skills

  • " I thought he was dead." "No, he's very much alive.... well, sort of". Great stuff!

    The girlfriend one wouldn't kick out of bed, but the newspaper critic was not entirely wrong in describing her face as equine.

  • johnny depp is sooooooooo hot in this movie!

  • Is it just me or are Johnny's teeth different?

  • probably rick baker i think won the oscar for the makeup in this film

  • Man, if only I was born in the 50's. Everything was so much more simple back then. No one cared about what actor was cheating on what actress. It was luxury to go to the movie theatre and see a horror movie. Nowadays people can do it whenever they want.

  • I'm not a Burton fan, but Sleepy Hollow and this are some of my favorite films. Ed Wood may have been a horrible director, but people who knew him claimed he had a big heart, and in the end he became someone, sure it's not exactley how he wanted to be remembered, but still.

  • way i look at it is ,stallone has been nominated for some many razzie awards and if im not mistaken has won over 4 times,and i think he was named worst actor ever,thats rocky your talking about ,know what i mean ,who cares what people say

  • bela lugosi its a shame is carrer was shit at dis time he was addicted 2 morphine old n washed up in a way ed saved his legacy as a great actor n FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you n fuck Karlof dat fuckin cocksucker can burn in hell 4 all i give a shit lol dats his best line dis whole movie

  • hahaha "Nobody gives two fucks for Bela"

  • I dont know if it's just me but johnny reminds me of willy wonka SO much in this xDDDD

  • @Caitshybabes yeah i know what you mean! i think its his voice :)

  • Some time ago I watched the first episode of "Mission: Impossible" in which Martin Landau played the Master of Disguise. In this episode Landau disguised himself as a Russian General and used an accent that sounds very much like the one he uses here. I don't know whether to call it fate, coincidence, foreshadowing...but regardless, he did an excellent job.

  • "I even paratrooped"

    Doesn't make sense. Wood was a Marine.

  • Béla Lugosi was Hungarian, but he has Russian accent in this movie.:D yay

  • Béla Lugosi + Ed Wood= today = Tim Burton + Johnny Depp they basically do the same thing

  • johnny's face at 2:46, PRICELESS!

  • "I refuse to drive in this country, too many madmen." "I've got a car."

    Ed Wood WAS a madman. In a good way.

  • You are right!

    <3

    I´s nicer with black and withe!

    Thx RockBottomRiser21 XD

  • It's in black and white because it's a tribute to the movies of that era. Why is that such a bad thing? It looks beautiful.

  • @RockBottomRiser21 I totally agree. Give me the stark beauty of a black and white movie versus the over the top bombardment of today's CGI colorful messes.

  • @RockBottomRiser21 some people don't like black and white.

  • @RockBottomRiser21

    it remaind me tha way of working of chaplin: despite there was sound in movies he keeps on going with mute

  • @RockBottomRiser21 yhat is not true on the commentary he said that the reason its in black and white is they couldnt decide how bella lugosi should look in color

  • @RockBottomRiser21 i think people that cant watch movies that are in black and white have issues

  • @greatjob13 I know right? I have a friend that refuses to watch anything in black and white. I don't understand why?

  • @Nattizlovesnalle it helps you get the idea that this is based in the 50s

  • @Nattizlovesnalle lol are you serious?

    you've really gotta get around that somehow, for your own sake...

  • "boy to chick flick to click?" wow news paper wrighters are stupid

  • @AFROJASON666 you spelt writer wrong whilst calling other people stupid... genius

  • I adore Bela, he's hilarious. Such a character.

  • struggling director + out of work actor=made fast cheap and funt to watch

  • I love how the version of Swan Lake from Dracula plays each time we see Bela Lugosi.

  • "I need someone with experience who can shoot a film in 4 days and make me a profit. Sorry. That's all that matters."

    Translation: I demand experience from others, but I won't give anyone the chance to get any.

  • Welcome to Hollywood.

  • 4 questions

    who is ed wood?

    what are his best movies?

    who is bela lugosi?

    what movies did he/she play in?

  • Ed Wood is a famous director of cheapo movies in 40s and 50s who often had ridiculous ideas and is known for making a lot of "so-bad-theyre-good" movies. May not seem like a great person at first, but he doubtlessly influenced today's big directors like Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch. And Béla Lugosi was super-famous horror movie star from 20s and 30s, the first actor ever to play Dracula, who Ed Wood was a huge fan of.

  • thank you very much for answering my question.thumbs up.cool name btw.bonehead

  • @777heyman I saw 1 question he didn't answer, his most famous movie. Well, after some movies, he decided to make porn flicks, but none of them are his most famous one, his most famous was his worst, Plan 9 From Outer Space. It's what he called 'so-bad-they're-good' and that movie showed it, its SO famous, that they made a colorized edition and possibly making a remake.

  • @777heyman there is even a video game for this movie, about you getting the film back from Lugosi's double because Bela died during the film and they had someone who looked nothing like Bela, except the top of his head

  • @BOnEhEAdD fyi hes better than uwe boll ed woods films are bad but theyre entertaining.....while uwe bolls films are just BAD

  • @kea919306 wah? Where did u get that? i would never compare Wood to Boll. Wood was imo a significant person for the 20th century pop culture, while Boll is just a sh1thead who just tries to make money by mindlessly puking the worst crap possible. after all he hasnt been mentioned here by me or anyone else. u sure u got the right video?

  • @BOnEhEAdD which is what im trying to get at Ed Wood was passionate about his films.Uwe Boll doesnt care.People often compare them but in reality theres nothing to compare to.

  • @BOnEhEAdD Tim Burton has a talent making his characters likeable.

  • @BOnEhEAdD Max Shreck was the first actor to do it, actually, but Bela was the most famous.

  • @BOnEhEAdD You forgot the 1922 version of Dracula

  • @abranthetimekeeper o really? i thot there was only Nosferatu before.. Im not exactly a horror expert, but i had that checked with cinemassacre*com - James Rolfe wouldnt be wrong about that...

  • Ever heard of Dracula..?

  • 1 considered worst filmmaker

    2 none that society likes, but fans enjoy plan 9 from outer space

    3 Greatest actor ever

    4 Dracula, The Raven, Ex. & so forth

  • (1) ed wood is a someone who has been called the worst film maker ever. (2) Plan 9 from outer space. (3) Bela lugosi is an actor who played in many horror old movies. (4) Dracula is his most fomous role but he was an amazing actor in his time.

  • Why did gamlastanarn's comment get thumbs down? IMy personal fave is Sweeney Todd, but Gilbert Grape was also great!

  • OMFG SOOOOO FUNNY LOL

    "I like to dress in woman's clothing"

    LOLOLOLOLOL HIS FACE!

  • love this film one of burtons bests

  • Wow Johnny, you have really done an amazing job at this movie and I have only seen roughly 13 minutes of the film!

  • "He is very much alive...well, sorta."

  • that made me laugh!

  • Johnny Depp's acting nowadays has become very caricatured and reused characters. Thats why a lot of people are losing touch with him. its becoming a gimmick and a shtick. But in Ed Wood he is at his best!

  • Watchin this, and absolutely loving it so far !!

    Johnny Depp is a superb actor, and a movie, maybe tim burton's best?

  • there is no such thing as a bad movie.

  • @juleswinns clearly you've not seen an Uwe Boll movie. XD

  • I love this movie so much. Johnny portays him exactly how you'd imagine ed wood to be. It's amazing acting

  • I usually don't like Johnny Depp's acting, but he's great here. :(

  • Why don't you usually like his acting? It's BRILLIANT. Marlon Brando once said, before he died, that he was probably the best actor around today.

  • It's usually too stylized for my taste. That he draws attention to the fact that he's acting. I do think that he's talented, and I do like him in other movies like "Donnie Brasco" and "Fear and Loathing...". Maybe it's just the movies he chooses.

  • Why do you not like his acting?

  • I do like his acting, I'm usually just underwhelmed by the roles he plays. Sometime's it's not his fault, it may be the writer or the director who's to blame. But he plays Ed Wood to a "T".

  • Comment removed

  • but hes still so awsome at the same time lol

  • damn logosi or however u spell it is such a douche lol

  • "Those repressed Okies, they go for that twisted perverted stuff." LOLOLOLOLOL

  • ART INSTITUTE is a rip off ... my teacher goes there he says they dont care if u make it or not as long as they get u to attend and their money which is ridiculous amounts

  • Yeah you're paying back 80 grand by the time you're done with the Art Institute. Gotta go to a real college, and even then there's a grip of competition.

  • exactly! but at least at a real college u know the teachers care

  • I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP

  • this is one of the greateast scenes..that pair lugosi and depp is impecable

  • shoot a movie in four days? I really hope that's not the standard requisites that producers/ agents of the movie industries in Hollywood go by.

  • It's not. But that's how Ed Wood did his movies. 30 scenes in one day, rarely did a second take.

  • Whew, Oh alright, thanks for that relieving info! :)

  • I'm a film major.  It helps to know little mundane factoids like this.

  • No kidding! I'm a bit of a scholar studying the film genre as well, but though I would like to get into film, I am a rather late newcomer, what institute do you attend?

  • Art Institute, in Philadephia

  • I'd love to get into film, maybe evn direct my own picture. Somehow, I can't help but find this movie to be a lesson of a personal message to me, that it better be serious what you want to do in when it comes to film.

  • Here's my advise to you:

    Think really hard about it. Is this what you really want to do? If so, then look for a school that specializes in media arts (like mine) and get the education you need.

    Another thing, think realistically. Don't have the attitude of "I'm gonna be a world famous director when I graduate", because you won't.

  • you dont know what you're talking about. you really don't Burton got hired by disney on his third year at the Art Institute. It could happen.

  • It's called LUCK. Mind your own business fuck-wad; I wasn't even talking to you.

  • why, you looking for a piece of ass?

  • no, i am looking for your mouth. thats all i need out of you.

  • And I thought I was the one sounding retarded. And by the way, if you want to insult me don't come out of the closet. It's assholes like you that make me coming onto Youtube such a drag.

  • usually seems like it, doesn't it?

  • The only thing i like about Bela Lugosi is Dracula.

  • My Idol is Bela Lugosi!!!

  • hahaha at 6:22 is definatly Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

  • i love wearing womens clothing haha

  • that guy on the phone the goes" SCREW YOU!" is the cop in James and The Giant Peach. lol

  • Johnny Depp reminds of Steve Buscemi in this film.

  • Béla Lugosi: "this is the least comfortable coffin ive ever been in" LOL :D

  • the sunglasses Johnny puts on @ 5:32 look like the glasses he wears in Secret Window

  • This character reminds me of Depp in Willy Wonka. If I would have seen this first, it would be the other way around I guess.

  • That and Sam in Benny & Joon.

  • bellas right i showed my girl dracula once got laid that night ;)

  • Was Public Enemy actually any good? It was almost three hours long.

  • too true

  • LOVE THIS MOVIE AND PLAN 9

  • it's true. but now he's just lost in these computer-generated video games, ("fear & loathing" notwithstanding, one of my favorites and he and del toro's acting being the real special effects there. one of the funniest movies ever made because of their performances). and "public enemies" wasn't serious enough, (this movie seems more mature in comparison). tim burton really lost it after this, too, come to think of it. if only i had the chance i'd like to cast him in a real movie.

  • who plays bela lagousie any way ?

  • martin landau

    i think i spelled his last name wrong

  • HE WON AN OSCAR FOR THAT ROLE

  • 7:58 lugosi's speach about draculas sex apeal is awesome

  • This movie is fantastic!

  • does anyone eles think the houses remind you of the houses from edward sissor hands?

  • Anyone else think that Lugosi's interpretation of vampires is why Twilight is such a big thing to girls?

  • Fuck Twilight

  • Amen. <<

  • Amen

  • Bela is a vampire!! Pattison is fagget!!!! end of story....

  • naw

    twilight is juss the next trendy thing

    well actually vampires in general are

    first zombies were all the rage and now its vampires

    anything thats "cool" kids will eat like candy

  • twlight is what made vampires "cool again" to bad those vampires are pussys right?

  • twlight=gay vampires lolol

  • I'd say yes, but that's an insult to the pussys.

  • sometimes I see guys reading it and I just go up to them and say "You know that's a chick book right."

  • hahahahaha
