Ed Wood was just one of those rare characters that never learned from failure. His scenes were never done in more than one take, his scripts never made it past a rough draft, and his direction was just awful. He's someone who aspired to be one of the greats. He fought so hard to get funding for his movies, he just never put as much effort into actually making them as good as he boasted to everyone.
Plan 9 From Outer Space may be a terrible movie, but it sure is entertaining! I'll never forget being forced to suffer through "Rashomon" three times for a film class--and the sonofabitch professor gave me a "D" on the paper for my trouble. Give 'em hell, Ed Wood---and thanks a million for the movies!
I just watched "Plan 9" again a couple of days ago. It beats the hell out of anything done by half of those hacks in Hollywood these days, and they've got huge budgets to work with. If you don't believe me just check out Wal-Mart's $5 bin sometime.
that's where you are wrong, true there are movies just as bad as plan 9, but none have ever taken the title of worse movie from it nor havfe critcs say "-insertbadmoviehere- movie is worse than plan 9"
@Shanethefilmmaker I think there are movies that are even worse than Plan 9, such as "Manos The Hands of Fate" and "Monster A-Go-Go" , but you're right--none has officially taken the "worst movie" title from Plan 9. My take on it is that Plan 9 is at least fun to watch; Manos and Monster A Go Go don't even have that going for them!
@galoon exactly just because its the worse movie didn't mean it wasn't fun to watch, unlike a go go or manos, P9 at least made an effort to be entertaining.
Ed Wood may have made fuck awful movies but he DID have guts and vision. And it took real balls to finance movies independently in the 1950s when Hollywood was completely controlled by a few big studios like MGM, Fox, Warner Brothers etc. He was an 'Indie' movie-maker a generation before his time
@shanethefilmmaker I know this will sound crazy, but I kinda liked Manos. Sure it's garbage, but Torgo brings a lot to the film.

Yeah, at least he put great heart into his movies. Had he had more money at his disposal he might have done a lot better.

However, it would be interesting if they made a movie about the "relationship" between Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff!
