It's the battle of the egos. Will the architect prevail or could there be a conspiracy?
Credit to nanarland.com for coining the term 'egosploitation'.

Another way Y.K. Kim is different from everyone on the list: he actually realised how bad his film turned out and before it became a cult classic, he was embarrassed by it (when Alamo Draft House called him to get the rights, he kept hanging up on them because he assumed they had to be joking.) As fun as Miami Connection is, you made the right call, he's too self-aware to be on this list.

Segal's ego was so big that when he wrote the script, he didn't think that in order to save the environment, maaaaybe he shouldn't blow up a major oil rig that will spew all the oil onto the ground and choking black smoke in the air. I give Shatner a pass on bad egosploitation simply because I'm sure it was very, very difficult to shake his role as Kirk and that's all anyone would see him as.

"Kung Fu Hustle" isn't egosploitation at all. There are many filmmakers, from Orson Welles to Mel Brooks and Woody Allen, who have routinely taken on all three roles without being overly egotistical about it. There are also individual attempts, like Billy Bob Thornton's "Sling Blade" and Ben Affleck's "The Town", that deliver what they intend to without the flaws that ego inevitably brings to a production.

I love the weird egosploitation genre. So much so that my wife bought me a poster of the lyrics to friends from Miami Connection & blown photo of the weird yarn lion from Samurai Cop for my birthday. I was also recently an associate producer for Len Kabasinski's latest movie Pact of Vengeance. Though I'd class him more in the super low budget so bad it's good genre than as an egosploitation director. He's not always the star in his flicks. But who knows he might direct his egosploitation masterpiece if Vinegar Syndrome actually let him direct a sequel to New York Ninja.

Breen is not an idiot. I believe he first set out to make artsy movies with a naive mindset that he could do a lot himself. When they caught the attention of the funnybad audience, he understood to keep making creative art-house inspired movies without trying to change his methods or learn the tricks of mainstream professional filmmaking. That way he can express himself while his genuine visions came through, while also bewildering a common viewer and entertaining the funnybad audience. If he elevated his craft to adhere to the usual standards and not avant-garde, he'd lose his audience. I'm very certain they are part genuine, part self-aware. Or he's too stubborn to take a filmmaking class

Since I saw some clips of him in the video, I think that a vanity project deserving a mention would be the anime series written, directed and produced by Adriano Celentano, featuring a young badass version of himself as messianic saviour of society through his music and kung-fu, with even a Paint drawing he made for the credit titles. I don't know whether this "masterpiece" ever made it outside of his native Italy, but there he even had a prime-time variety show on national tv to promote the first batch of the episodes.

I think Celentano was or is a musician, quite prominent in Italy or so I understand. Back in the 1970s, he got ticked off that the Italian charts were dominated by American and British artists singing in English so he came up with a song called "Prisencolinensinainciusol" in which almost all of the lyrics were complete gibberish but sounded vaguely like English. There is a video on KZfaq of a performance of the song from Italian TV, which is worth a look. It has some pretty cool dancing and the song itself is actually quite catchy.

@@loumencken9644 I didn't know this song, and I didn't even know something like it existed, but, thanks to your mention here, I looked it up and just heard it. I really liked it. Had I not known all along that the lyrics were pure gibberish, I would have been desperate trying to understand what is being said, which does sound superficially like American English. I don't know if this is true, but I have heard that the composer, Celentano, made this song to prove the point that the Italian public was so conditioned to uncritically admire all music in English, that they would still like it even if it didn't make any sense at all.

Ninja in the Claws of the CIA and Zen Kwon Do in Paris were Joh Liu's two other vanity projects looking to help further Liu's own Martial Art, Zen Kwon Do. France, Belgium, and Germany LOVED John Liu, and we're already big fans of him because of his films. After beating (supposedly) Chuck Norris in a full contact karate tournament around 1979-1980, Zen Kwon Do became increasingly popular, and Liu was living the high life. His earnings, as well as "donations", that he received from high profile students, helped him make his remaining films..... which were completely bonkers. Supposedly made with Liu incorporating his private life (ie affairs with women, fights with notable martial artists), along with bold exaggerations and flat out lies, his CIA film flopped as his marriage to a high profile model and heiress wained. In one last ditch effort, he flew to New York to hopefully jump on the ninja movie craze using his connections. And we all know how that turned out. He currently lives in a boathouse in Vietnam...... Possibly? It makes sense since his last film was Trinity Goes East, filmed in South Vietnam, where he plays an aging master who decides to train a Terrence Hill look alike. Made by Toby Russell, it eventually received a stateside dvd release thanks to BCI. He still has the skills. But now he has no interest in talking about his film career, unfortunately. He is embarrassed, to say the least. I wish there was a way to discourage him from feeling in such a way. He would be a wealth of knowledge, and it might help revitalize his career to some extent.

What I love about many of these 20th century pieces is that it's clear that this is what those "alpha male, dude bros" used to do before the internet. They would raise money through dubious means and create a film with them as the saviour. I'm convinced that some of the r/thathappened stories are just ripped from a number of these scripts. XD
