The great thing about Ed Wood is that he wanted to make movies. Any movie. No real budget. Just get it done. He inspired others to do the same. Every film student knows who he is.
The reason Wood's films endure is that as badly as he made them... and they WERE AWFUL, they were made with heart and it shows. Wood and Lugosi were friends and Wood wanted to give him work instead of charity even though Lugosi was very ill.
@@thealetube3509 most modern movies dont have much heart anymore especially in Hollywood so there are definitely worse directors than Ed Wood. I mean the effects here are probably on par with Thor Love and Thunder if not better
The filmmakers that are ridiculous are not the ones like Ed Wood who can make a film on a shoestring budget. The ridiculous filmmakers are the ones who won't answer the phone for less than 10 million dollars.
Criswell's prologue should go down as one of the most profound statements of the human condition in recorded history. You just can't top such eloquent observations such as: "....future events like these will affect you in the future." We are left speechless.
This movie is great company when it's 3 a.m. and you can't sleep. Where else can you see flying saucers, extraterrestrials, zombies, Bela Lugosi and Vampira all in one place, not to mention the great musical score? It's one of my all time favorites and now colorized!

Huh? Colorized things never look natural. You can always tell, because things that were shot in color have vibrant colors, where colorized things have dull colors, reminding you that they should have left it in black and white. I avoid colorized versions like the plague (luckily, you can see the black and white version of this elsewhere).
16:30 My favourite line in the whole movie: "But one thing is sure. Inspector Clay is dead - murdered - and somebody is responsible!". 😅 And to top it all off, the lieutenant scratches himself with the barrel of his loaded gun, as well as pointing at the others with his weapon. 😂 He's a total badass! 😎
In 1970/1971 I took a Cinematography course in college where the Instructor spent a good deal of time on Ed Wood Jr and his movies. The Instructor had fun critiquing the movies with us, but also to show us that a movie could be made with a smaller amount of money than a studio production. Documentaries could be made on a small budget as well. The Instructor felt that Ed Wood didn't get enough credit for his work and contributions, and I agree!...

Great to see this classic F minus movie in colour 😲😊👏👏👏👏👏 Ed Wood was so crazy…the film was…so…well…and perfectly terribly badly done…that…it was truly great! 😄😆😁👍👍
Such fun. The scenes of being in both day and night at the same time. The tombstones that wobble, etc. Ya know the premise could have been an honest good film being a precursor to the Zombie craze.
It's not that bad. I think it was Roger Ebert who called it a good movie made by an incompetent director. Though, I'll only watch the black-and-white version. I hate colorized versions!
Hey, around 5 minutes in, look at what the pilots have in their hands that are supposed to be used to fly the plane....., hahah, great! Love this, thanks
Bella Legosi wasn't in the movie. He died months before filming. Wood had home movies of Legosi and spliced them into the movie. Wood then employed his dentist, who kept his face covered and was three inches taller than Legosi.
Hello "@donkeyslayer9879", it is still Béla (or, if you want, Bela), not Bella. Bella is a female name (meaning "beautiful"), Béla is a Hungarian male name. His surname was Lugosi, not Legosi. His birth name was Blaskó Béla, actually. He was from the city of Lugos (now Rumania, then Hungary). Lugosi with the "i" at the end means "from Lugos" in Hungarian.
Ed Wood hizo lo que pudo con los pocos recursos qué contaba , sin duda no tenía talento , pero quién puede negar su no decaer pese a los peores comentarios de los críticos , jamás desfalleció , quizás si al final de su vida , pero lo admiro por su fuerza de voluntad , suerte qué ya había fallecido cuándo lo declararon injustamente el peor director de la historia , notable su amistad con un gran actor húngaro olvidado por completo y qué el lo hizo morir feliz , al crearle la ilusión de volver al estrellato , Tim Burton le hizo un gran homenaje con su película y por lo menos lo dió a conocer ,para bien o para mal a las nuevas generaciones .
Recuerdo q hace 20 años yo era chico y ya sabia q el era declarado como el peor director con sus pelis con bajo presupuesto y muy de culto, ahora pienso 20 añis despues q mo es el peor porq sus pelis son un culto, hay peores peliculas y directores y ni los recuerdos porq son olvidables, ademas hoy con el internet hubo mas pelis q uno hace y son un adefecio.
El gran cineasta Norteamericano Ed Wood y el gran cineasta Mexicano Juan Orol eran grandes amigos y competian para ver quien hacian mejores peliculas! Lastima que ninguno gano' uos Oscares.
At about 16:30 watch how the lietenant casually waves around his revolver, pointing it at the patrolman as he tells him what to do, and at even pointing it at his own neck with his finger on the trigger, no less.
It's always good to watch this again once-in-awhile, it sure does remind me of the old drive-in movie days when movies like this were almost believable just from the atmosphere of the place! A true classic..lol.. thanks for sharing!
LOL! What a classic! Sci-fi from the silly era and of the silliest sort! Vampires, UFOs and aliens! Hard to say what vampires have to do with UFOs or aliens, but I'm only 20 minutes in... Should be worth watching for a laugh, if only to find out the connection! 😁
Top notch production values, phenomenal Direction, state-of-the-art special effects, and peerless acting! What's not to love? Oh wait I was thinking of Citizen Kane.
I've never seen "Citizen Kane" (anything that the critics love that much has to be a total bore) but I can't imagine it having much in the way of special effects.
She's a small wonder, lovely and bright with soft curls. She's a small wonder, a child unlike other girls. She's a miracle, and I grant you She'll enchant you at first sight. She's a small wonder, and she'll make your heart take flight. She's fantastic, made of plastic. Microchips here and there. She's a small wonder, brings love and laughter everywhere. 😊
Any work of a Marine who has the balls to wear panties on Betio Island during WWII , must be respected.😎 The addition of color for this movie is great ! CMC. Throws it out of the 1950's, and into the "Now" so to speak.. And much respect to Ed Wood , a fellow WWII vet ;). This is not a bad movie . The color add really helps to how it was filmed. .
Uh..I used to believe Ed Wood's story about wearing women's underwear into action. Then I found out that he had spent no time under enemy fire with the exception of an air raid or two. And his teeth were not knocked out in action, it was apparently the result of some rather crude dental work by an Army dentist. Even Ed's wife is on record as stating that his wartime service stories were just " bullshitting". But it certainly doesn't diminish the achievements of someone who had faith in himself and wasn't going to be judged by Hollywood " standards". Like most great artists his life and work was worth far more after he died than was ever possible while he lived. BTW, Harry and Michael Medved who were most responsible for bringing Ed Wood's life and work back into the public eye also " nominated" certain other Directors in a similar category, but in their view Ed Topped the lot for the sheer number of different aspects that made Wood's films what they were. Or weren't, as the case may be.
@@ChrisJensen-se9rj Well he was a transvestite, and although he did not see combat, he was a vet and was on Betio for a time after the battle. I can believe he wore women's lingerie on occasion. Yes, he did not parachute into combat wearing the stuff. (one of his more famous "boasts") However note, Betio was no holiday even after the battle. From what I understand , one of his duties was finding and burying the many rotten Japanese and Marine bodies on the island . Definitely No fun in that job.
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid over 60 yrs ago and it scared the heck out of me. The whole movie had creepy characters and bad acting but it sure made me have nightmares!
Thank you so much for this! Having enjoyed this flick so many times, I never thought I'd be sitting in front of this midnight masterpiece once again. If you can get a hold of and upload a colorized version of 'Glen or Glenda' (my favorite Ed Wood film!), I'm sure the lovers of midnight cult flicks will extol your good brand name forever.
Imagine this being labelled "the worst movie of all time" when it's actually very entertaining and not all of it is unintentional. Ed Wood did the best with the very limited resources and experience he had and somehow made a legendary movie with some great characters. Sure the props are clearly made out of cardboard and a lot of the acting wooden but the soul of this movie is rock solid.
The great thing about Ed Wood is that he wanted to make movies. Any movie. No real budget. Just get it done. He inspired others to do the same. Every film student knows who he is.
The reason Wood's films endure is that as badly as he made them... and they WERE AWFUL, they were made with heart and it shows. Wood and Lugosi were friends and Wood wanted to give him work instead of charity even though Lugosi was very ill.
Not for anything good.
It’s kind of a shame he’s addressed as “the worst director of all time. If you ask me, the worst of all time is Tommy Wiseau, not Ed Wood

Such fun. The scenes of being in both day and night at the same time. The tombstones that wobble, etc. Ya know the premise could have been an honest good film being a precursor to the Zombie craze.
A film so bad it was brilliant!.
I can’t believe it! Colorizing this movie has made me realize that it still sucks but I can’t resist watching the spectacle. Classic! 10 out 10
It's not that bad. I think it was Roger Ebert who called it a good movie made by an incompetent director. Though, I'll only watch the black-and-white version. I hate colorized versions!
Hey, around 5 minutes in, look at what the pilots have in their hands that are supposed to be used to fly the plane....., hahah, great! Love this, thanks
Ed Wood was a genius
Ah...no.
*If this is the Worst Movie ever made,* how come I've seen it 9 times?
Thank you Ed, thank you Bella and Vampirella ❤
Allow me to correct you: it is Béla, not Bella. Béla is a male name, Bella is a female name. 😊
@@knochildiko It's a pun (Bela,Vampira)😍
Bella Legosi wasn't in the movie. He died months before filming. Wood had home movies of Legosi and spliced them into the movie. Wood then employed his dentist, who kept his face covered and was three inches taller than Legosi.
Hello "@donkeyslayer9879", it is still Béla (or, if you want, Bela), not Bella. Bella is a female name (meaning "beautiful"), Béla is a Hungarian male name. His surname was Lugosi, not Legosi. His birth name was Blaskó Béla, actually. He was from the city of Lugos (now Rumania, then Hungary). Lugosi with the "i" at the end means "from Lugos" in Hungarian.
@45:37 "atmospheric conditions in outer space often interfere with transmitting.." ha ha ha ! you've gotta luv it !
And, referring to the solar system as the universe.
I have rarely had as much fun as I did at the Cult Cinema Classics premiere of this truly great cult favorite.
Ed Wood hizo lo que pudo con los pocos recursos qué contaba , sin duda no tenía talento , pero quién puede negar su no decaer pese a los peores comentarios de los críticos , jamás desfalleció , quizás si al final de su vida , pero lo admiro por su fuerza de voluntad , suerte qué ya había fallecido cuándo lo declararon injustamente el peor director de la historia , notable su amistad con un gran actor húngaro olvidado por completo y qué el lo hizo morir feliz , al crearle la ilusión de volver al estrellato , Tim Burton le hizo un gran homenaje con su película y por lo menos lo dió a conocer ,para bien o para mal a las nuevas generaciones .
Recuerdo q hace 20 años yo era chico y ya sabia q el era declarado como el peor director con sus pelis con bajo presupuesto y muy de culto, ahora pienso 20 añis despues q mo es el peor porq sus pelis son un culto, hay peores peliculas y directores y ni los recuerdos porq son olvidables, ademas hoy con el internet hubo mas pelis q uno hace y son un adefecio.
El gran cineasta Norteamericano Ed Wood y el gran cineasta Mexicano Juan Orol eran grandes amigos y competian para ver quien hacian mejores peliculas!
Lastima que ninguno gano' uos Oscares.

Yeah! Two talentless idiots competing for the title "Best of the Worst".
It's night, it's dark, and no one has a flashlight. These old movies are today's comedy.
At about 16:30 watch how the lietenant casually waves around his revolver, pointing it at the patrolman as he tells him what to do, and at even pointing it at his own neck with his finger on the trigger, no less.
Ikr? 😂😂
I actually liked this movie. I liked it so much, I ended up adding it to my collection. 😂❤️
I love their spaceship, just some old radios sitting unsecured on a wooden table made out of scrap, lol.
Don't forget the flashing highway construction blinker. Critical component of any spacefaring civilization's vessels.
And the window frame made from a kid's chalkboard, which I had...
It's always good to watch this again once-in-awhile, it sure does remind me of the old drive-in movie days when movies like this were almost believable just from the atmosphere of the place! A true classic..lol.. thanks for sharing!
LOL! What a classic! Sci-fi from the silly era and of the silliest sort! Vampires, UFOs and aliens! Hard to say what vampires have to do with UFOs or aliens, but I'm only 20 minutes in... Should be worth watching for a laugh, if only to find out the connection! 😁
Top notch production values, phenomenal Direction, state-of-the-art special effects, and peerless acting! What's not to love? Oh wait I was thinking of Citizen Kane.
I've never seen "Citizen Kane" (anything that the critics love that much has to be a total bore) but I can't imagine it having much in the way of special effects.
45:36 "Atmospheric conditions in outer space (a void) interfere with transmissions." Brilliant!
I guess you could count an absence of atmosphere an atmospheric condition.
Sun storms!
Plan 9 and super duper chat. Nice way to spend a sunday nite. rating? Are u kidding? Why 5 golden 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃of course! Keep em coming CCC!
Thor Johnson!! My bro!!
Making me laugh so much. I don't know if that was the original intention, but I never tire of this movie. It's so bad, it's awesome.
Its a well known killer B movie..
Made before weed was popular!
Superb! Movies don’t get any better than that. This was on par with Gone With The Wind and Young Frankenstein.
Plan 9, gone with the wind and young Frankenstein. I like your taste in movies.
@@erroneous6947 Love them both but was being a bit facetious placing them in the same category as this gem.
American werewolf in London.
Yugoslavian Gerbil Day Gone Wild
Return of the killer zombie gerbils ll
She's a small wonder, lovely and bright with soft curls.
She's a small wonder, a child unlike other girls.
She's a miracle, and I grant you
She'll enchant you at first sight.
She's a small wonder, and she'll make your heart take flight.
She's fantastic, made of plastic.
Microchips here and there.
She's a small wonder, brings love and laughter everywhere.
😊
Hai Mike 👸❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@helenpoornima5126 helen going to be watching the black and white version of this movie 😊
Any work of a Marine who has the balls to wear panties on Betio Island during WWII ,
must be respected.😎
The addition of color for this movie is great ! CMC.
Throws it out of the 1950's, and into the "Now" so to speak..
And much respect to Ed Wood , a fellow WWII vet ;).
This is not a bad movie . The color add really helps to how it was filmed.
.
Uh..I used to believe Ed Wood's story about wearing women's underwear into action.
Then I found out that he had spent no time under enemy fire with the exception of an air raid or two.
And his teeth were not knocked out in action, it was apparently the result of some rather crude dental work by an Army dentist.
Even Ed's wife is on record as stating that his wartime service stories were just " bullshitting".
But it certainly doesn't diminish the achievements of someone who had faith in himself and wasn't going to be judged by Hollywood " standards".
Like most great artists his life and work was worth far more after he died than was ever possible while he lived.
BTW, Harry and Michael Medved who were most responsible for bringing Ed Wood's life and work back into the public eye also " nominated" certain other Directors in a similar category, but in their view Ed Topped the lot for the sheer number of different aspects that made Wood's films what they were.
Or weren't, as the case may be.
@@ChrisJensen-se9rj Well he was a transvestite, and although he did not see combat, he was a vet and was on Betio for a time after the battle. I can believe he wore women's lingerie on occasion. Yes, he did not parachute into combat wearing the stuff. (one of his more famous "boasts")
However note, Betio was no holiday even after the battle. From what I understand , one of his duties was finding and burying the many rotten Japanese and Marine bodies on the island . Definitely No fun in that job.
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid over 60 yrs ago and it scared the heck out of me. The whole movie had creepy characters and bad acting but it sure made me have nightmares!
Thank you so much for this! Having enjoyed this flick so many times, I never thought I'd be sitting in front of this midnight masterpiece once again. If you can get a hold of and upload a colorized version of 'Glen or Glenda' (my favorite Ed Wood film!), I'm sure the lovers of midnight cult flicks will extol your good brand name forever.
Not seeing Maila Nurmi anywhere in the credits. She made the movie. Also Bela Lugosi deserves props.
@KLtpzyxm17
I wonder why Maila and Lugosi didn't make the credits?
Imagine this being labelled "the worst movie of all time" when it's actually very entertaining and not all of it is unintentional.
Ed Wood did the best with the very limited resources and experience he had and somehow made a legendary movie with some great characters. Sure the props are clearly made out of cardboard and a lot of the acting wooden but the soul of this movie is rock solid.
Ed Wood lives on!
A real masterpiece, thanks Ed Wood.
