Duke Moore (the gun waver). All his movie roles were Ed Wood movies.

They had careers?? Really?

@@remysmith8743 Lyle Talbot had been a film and stage actor years prior to showing up in Wood's movies and worked steadily on TV for years afterward. The Wood movies were just paycheck gigs he took in between real acting jobs.

Right now, hearing how dangerous it is and saying "We'll be an even stronger nation!" sounds like both parties and all three news networks.

My favorite part is that it was the civilian pilot who said they could use it to be stronger. Not the two actual military guys who are just calmly listening.

@@shwahgamer Well, the two Army guys knew that we didn't _need_ more powerful weapons, since our "big guns" were perfectly capable of blowing up the space guys' flying saucers, and we foiled Plan Nine with a couple of handguns.

haha yeah it makes it almost pass as just a standard older movie from the era any time i see that cockpit set i just think of the scene from ed wood, "wheres the cockpit set?" youre standing in i!" hahaha just a goddamn chair RLM did a great review of that

In color, it’s just utterly insane. It looks like a stage play or something

That’s what I thought when I saw Rifftrax’s “Face/Off”, I had never seen the movie until they did it and I was just amazed at how ludicrous that whole thing was. I was thinking, if Ed Wood had a $100M budget he could’ve made this!

It’s okay to be outstandingly interestingly bad it’s another to be dull bad. The dull bads are the irredeemable ones.

They probably had a scene where the detective used his gun for a tooth brush....but it got lost on the cutting room floor....shot to pieces.

I wish rifftrax could post the more recent big name movies like face off and top gun and the twilight saga. They did some really great work on those and others. I never saw the face off on, unfortunately, but god would I love to

Here's an irony for you, there are people who would pass up watching the current Oscar nominated films of this year just to watch this movie.

I remember Plan 9 always being the holy grail discussed on early internet forums for MS3TK.

I heard it was his wife's chiropractor

@@SamJohnnyVoices I heard that it was Ed Wood’s chiropractor…Tor Johnson was a Wrestler in the grunt and groan circuit.

There’s only about 2-3 minutes worth of Lugosi’s footage which was for originally another movie plot about vampires. However, models of Flying Saucers, lawn chairs for cockpit seats couldn’t go to waste.

Wow thanks for that factoid! I love learning weird facts about movies!!! 👍😃

Tom Mason was Ed's chiropractor AND occasionally attended the Baptist church whose preacher ended up funding Plan Nine. Ed filmed Bela's few minutes of footage not long before Bela passed away, but there was no particular vampire story written for them, no project they were shooting with those scenes, it was just some of Ed's and Bela's ideas as they shot. Bela WAS Dracula to Ed (and everyone else, of course) so the vampire theme was just a given. Then Bela died, and the footage sat in Ed's apartment. Later, when Ed got the funds to make what would be Plan Nine, he knew he could finally use Bela's last footage and thought his chiropractor would be a decent enough stand-in for Bela. Ed also figured the movie as "Lugosi's Last Picture" would help sell it.

Which cancellation?

Wasn’t 12 seasons a lot of chances? 😝

@@Blueskybuffalo Season 13 is on the way. They kickstarted an entire streaming service to bring MST3K back.

I don't think it was 'Never had a chance' so much as never wanted to. I seem to remember hearing somewhere that one of the impeti behind MST3k was reading the Golden Turkeys rating Plan 9 as the worst movie ever, and Joel Robinson thinking "I know of a lot of movies worse than Plan 9".

@@UrVileWedge I know movies worse than Plan 9. I don't know if I'd say I know A LOT though.

Just buy a nice big box of public domain movies from Mill Creek Entertainment and you will really see more worthy contenders!! The Ed Wood movie is what introduced me to Plan 9!! It's classic!!

The actor was apparently doing that to see if Wood was paying attention enough to correct him.

@@SomeOrangeCat Normally I'd say that sounds apocryphal but not this time ... it HAS to be intentional on the actor's part, right? I mean, these are middle-aged men in 1957, _somebody_ on that set fought in the war.

@@Jesse__H It was intentional on the actor's part. There have been numerous behind the scenes stories and facts that say the actor was doing it to see if Ed Wood would notice it and correct it. 😅

@@AndreaEssEmm - From what I have heard about Ed Wood's directing "technique," he pretty much didn't bother correcting anything. There was another Ed Wood movie where Tor Johnson bumps into a door frame, and Wood declined to do a second take, because he thought it seemed appropriate to Tor's character.

Hey, The Fourth Doctor’s scarf is timeless.

Ha! I know I've done just that. No seriously, I actually DID do just that years ago.

Yeah, I believe most people saw the burton film first. Since ed wood is so old now I guess more and more people are seeing plan 9 without having seen ed wood. This was all but forgotten until the tim burton movie, only known among b c and d movie aficionados lol

I saw Ed Wood over 20 years ago, and I just had to see Plan 9 after that. Yes, I did underestimate its badness. A great movie is one that seems to yield new gems the more times you see it. This one seems to have inexhaustible layers of ineptitude. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

I did see the Ed Wood movie before seeing Plan 9. The Burton movie only made me want to see Plan 9. I didn’t until RiffTrax came into being until then we’d have to hunt for movies in stores or wait for it to come on TV. No regrets never seeing the movie without the riffs.

It won't help.

🍺 or weed will provide clarity.

Plan 1 is a classic, plan 2 is good but not awesome, plan 3 is a low budget cash grab to keep the franchise going, plan 4 is the surprise re-imagening of plan 1 with Ron Pearlman in the role of a lifetime, Plan 5 ignores all the other movies and is a direct continuation of Plan 1 with Alexandra Daddario in a topless scene, Plan 6 once again reboots the series with a twist : the main characters are teenagers and is full of 80s nostalgia, Plan 7-8 are both directed by Rob Zombie and take place between the events of plan 1 and 2,they are gritty,dirty and incredibly violent for no good reason and we Planheads don't really like them..So pick your poison

@@KairuHakubi indeed, that's why I was so impressed!

Live ones are always funnier to me. It has more energy and they seem to feed off each other better as opposed to pre-recorded where they are almost too laid back or something. The live reminds me more of seasons 8-10 of MST3K, which are the best in my opinion.

@@cpcarroll71 I wanna say Josh Weinstein said he really preferred when the riffs were live and spontaneous, and I can totally see where he was coming from, but at the same time the planned ones have such great timing and they can make obscure references more easily. but that was like, season zero I think

Hmmm...I wonder which is worse: The practical effects of Plan 9 or the CGI of Birdemic?

@@Hermititis Birdemic. At least Ed Wood did what he could with what he had and it’s enjoyable even without Riffs. Birdemic has way worse effects and the acting, as well as pacing, is so horrible that only mockery can make it bearable.
